X Factor UK 7: Top 16 Performances

So, I've decided to post this weekly because 1) in preparation for the X Factor US, which will premier sometime next year, 2) I've been an avid viewer of the show since Leona Lewis' season, and 3) I love the interesting format of X Factor.

Now, this season, the talents are relatively good but I still don't see a potential star a la Leona Lewis (Season 3), Shayne Ward (Season 2) and Alexandra Burke (Season 5) - even Diana Vickers (Season 5). But, I'm pretty sure someone will emerge soon in this new set of talents - hoping that the elimination order wouldn't be as crappy as last season though! Haha.

Anyway, I will not make any individual reviews per contestant like what I do with American Idol but instead, I'll just rate the performances. Ha!
