Best Of British

I absolutely loved The X Factor this week.

The theme? Best of British. Quality.

If there's one thing that Britain does well, it's music. 

Two words. JAMES ARTHUR.

His version of Adele's "Hometown Glory" was just simply PHENOMENAL. I was backing Jahmene to win but I've changed my mind, just because James Arthur is a true artist. That and I wasn't a huge fan of Jahmene's performance this week. James Arthur is gonna go on to be a global superstar, and I, for one, will be buying his album. He has one of those voices that you can just listen to all day. It's truly incredible and he is raw talent.

I highly encourage you all to check it out on You Tube if you're not watching the show.

Other stand out performances of the night go to the boy bands. I absolutely ADORED both of their perfomances and it helps that their song choices were iconic. Eric Clapton's "Tears In Heaven" and Coldplay's "Fix You". Even if you're not into the bands, how can you NOT just absolutely LOVE those songs?! Beautiful performances and I really enjoyed them!!

People are always cussing out reality shows. I've said time and time again that I support them when the objective is to find talent. Everyone loves to slam the X Factor, but there's no denying the platform that it has given to certain acts that have gone on to become GLOBAL SENSATIONS.

Leona Lewis and One Direction are easily the biggest thing to have ever have come out of The X Factor. Not to mention other acts like JLS, Olly Murs, Cher LLoyd which have all enjoyed global success since being on the show.

One Direction are insanely growing in popularity in Japan. Guys and girls of all ages just LOVE them and my clients are always raving about them. These kids only formed their band 2 years ago and have already had something like 12 million record sales and they entered the Guiness Book of Records for being the first British group to have a debut album go to number 1 in the US Billboard Charts. Whether you're a fan or not, that's impressive.

They're a little too poppy for me, but I have to admit, I kinda like their new single.
