X Factor….God I hate it!
I hate X factor and every shithead involved in it, it is everything that is wrong with Britain and tantamount to child abuse, it makes me vomit. the people involved in it, Simon Cowell, Danni Minogue and some other non persons know nothing about music.....nothing. What the hell has Danni Minogue done apart from droning on to some Pete Waterman claptrap on the back of her slightly more talented sister, she doesn't know music anymore than two year ...
