Has New X Factor Got What It Takes?

It's X-cellent news, it's X-citing... it's... I've run out of things to say starting with X.

But here's a question for you: how bowled over are you by the news that The X Factor is back this weekend?

Me? Well, it's a TV show isn't it. I enjoy watching it when it's on, but I'm not quite the sort to rush back home to see it.

I fall on the side of those who enjoy the hilarious auditions, but think the elimination rounds drag on a bit too long.

At the launch in London there weren't enough seats to hold all us journalists as we squeezed in to watch episode one, then threw questions at judges Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh, Danni Minogue and new addition Cheryl Cole from Girls Aloud.

Cowell is an intelligent man and he has heard it all before - the standard moan about how the show churns out winners then lets them sink without a trace.
