X Factor

So what happened to all the girlbands?

Britan is crying out for a new gb. Girls Aloud, great as they are, are coming towards the end of their time. The Sugababes might survive another incarnation.
The Saturdays are good, but they are new and they will be the only ones. No more Spice Girls, no more Atomic Kitten.

All these potential bands generated by the show, such as Desire, Bad Lashes and GirlBand this year shows the potential is out there. That experiment to put Hope together last year showed what can be done getting talent together in a small amount of time. We know an act doesn't have to win the show to become the best selling act.

What we'd also like to see is Phoebe from last year do what Alexandra did - go away, polish up her act, come back and win. It was unfortunate that she got overlooked by all the judges, and went as far as she could with her "backing group" (which is all they really were) before not making the cut. She has the voice and the talent so hopefully (no pun intended) we'll see her back.
