The X Factor 2009 Auditions

Welcome to The X Factor 2009 Auditions! The X Factor 2009 launches on Saturday the 22nd of August 2009 on ITV1 and if you're as big a fan as I am you'll be ready to burst with excitement. Simon Cowell is back of course, alongside regular judges Dannii Minogue, Louis Walsh and Cheryl Cole. All the action is of course back on ITV1 with the Xtra Factor giving you the extra juicy details over on ITV2. You won't miss a thing with this coverage. Dermot O'Leary is back hosting again on ITV1. At least if he's hosting the show he won't have to fend off the question of is Dermot O'Leary gay? That's all I seem to read about when he's getting interviewed! I much prefer him to Kate Thornton who was famously axed by Simon Cowell a few series back even if Dermot O'Leary was branded a 'two-faced fake' by a contestant last year! Bitchy or what! What will the X Factor 2009 Auditions hold in store for us this year? Will there be an X Factor Audition to match up with 26 Year old holistic vocal coach, Ariel Burdett from West Yorkshire who is widely regarded to be the worst audition ever seen on the show? How about a repeat of the chicken factory worker x factor audition who entertained everyone for the wrong reasons? Or will we see another talent such as X Factor 2008 winner Alexanda Burke or X Factor 2007 winner Leona Lewis?

For me it doesn't matter! The X Factor Auditions are my favourite part of the whole show. I feel the entertainment value is just fantastic and shows off the true talents of Mr Simon Cowell! Everyone knows he runs the show and lets face it, it just wouldn't be the same without his cutting remarks and bringing contestants back down to earth with a bump! The other X Factor judges all have their place of course with Cheryl stepping into Sharon Osbourne's shoes admirably. I don't feel like the show has lost anything since Sharon left, Cheryl has done such a fantastic job. Perhaps we'll see Paula Abdul doing a guest appearance on the UK X Factor since she's now left the U.S. version of the show, known of course as American Idol.

So in case I haven't mentioned it already, Saturday the 22nd of August is the big day! The X Factor 2009 Auditions start on ITV1 so make sure you tune in to see it. It can sometimes be absolute car crash TV but that's what makes it so unmissable. Watching some of the deluded members of the public being put in their place and course watching genuine sheer raw talent walking on off the street and wowing X Factor audiences all across the country. ITV1 has a fantastic site dedicated to the X Factor but I'll keep you up to date on my thoughts of who should win and who should go back to the chicken factory after their X Factor 2009 audition! I can't wait to see who the guest performers are later on the show. They've had some fantastic guest on in the past to work with the contestants including Mariah Carey. I find the whole betting side of fascinating too plus its a little something unique to the UK X Factor. X factor betting is big business with most of the bookies laying down odds to the X Factor winner. Who will it be this year? Watch the X Factor 2009 Auditions on the 22nd of August 2009 to find out...
