Hi All... It's Same Difference here, and it's time for the second instalment of our weekly column, Wahoo!!
This week’s show had a lot of talented people, a few not so talented people, and one scary person!
Starting with 80 year old, Cyril Grant... What a LEGEND!! He really proved that you don't have to be young to have The X Factor!! I (Sarah) thought he had the cutest personality and I really enjoyed his performance. I (Sean) laughed out loud when Simon said ironically "I just think he lacks confidence" and Cyril misheard him and said "Thank you".... Great T.V!!
Dinner lady, Jennifer Lamb was so sweet to bring the judges some cards and at one point we thought she was gonna give Simon a great big snog... woo woo!!
When Russell Baines unleashed his hand made sculpture of Simon we thought it bared an uncanny resemblance, it even had the trademark high waistline... we're not sure Simon was too impressed though!!
The Life of Colin (The film inspired by the life of Colin Hudgell) is due out around the same time as our album!! We hope he doesn't release a soundtrack too as that would be some seriously tough competition, lol!!
He seems like a lovely man but we didn't think he had The X Factor!!
This show had some real contenders to make the Final 12, especially Diana Vickers who is only 16. She chose a really different song which was kinda random but FANTASTIC!! We loved her version of 'The Blower’s Daughter'. We think she really will go far! She looked great and she had a real endearing personality!!
In the music industry we have found that there are a lot of talented people who get overlooked at places like Butlins and Pontins!! They work extremely hard, constantly hoping to get their big break, therefore we are so pleased that 19-year old Bluecoat Scott Bruton is getting his chance to shine. We loved his happy outlook on life and we thought he had a decent voice!! Fair play Scott!!
It is the most awful thing when you get poorly on the day of a massive audition but Laura White, needn't of worried, she sounded incredible even with a sore voice!! We thought she had a quirky personality and if she sounds that great when she is ill, then she must be out of this world when she is well!! We can't wait to hear more from her!! We reckon she is a real contender this year too along with Diana!
Last on the show this week was Ariel Burdett, 'The holistic vocal coach'. Woah.. She was one scary woman... At one point we thought she was going to attack Cheryl Cole!!! We certainly wouldn't want to be in an argument with her!! We thought it was great how she managed to fit in every vocal style known to mankind into one "academic construction!" (Also known as a song, lol!)
That's all for now until next week.... In the meantime check out our NEW LOOK website at www.samedifferenceworld.com
Love
Sarah and Sean
