Title: X - The X-Factor

Blog Entry: When you hear ‘The X-Factor’ what comes to mind? I wondered if there was a meaning before the now well-known TV Talent Show was aired, so I went to Google. I learned that it is hard to define, but the Cambridge Advanced Learner’s Dictionary suggests that the meaning refers to “a quality that you cannot describe that makes someone very special ”. I don’t think I had ever heard or read that before. For me, The X-Factor is a “must-see” weekly reality talent TV show. It is a show of talent seekers who compete with one another to become the nation's next singing sensation. I love music, and am amazed of the raw talent that is showcased. The first program aired was from the U.K., created by Simon Cowell, often referred to as a ‘cranky judge’. In my opinion, he has an uncanny ear for the nuances of presentation, and gives useful and unflinching advice to competitors who have a goal of not only winning the competition, but striving to be a professional performer in their personal genre. It is not the only music talent show that I watch on TV, and my husband tolerates the music stuff for me. I appreciate it too, and not to be in competition of his kindness, but I tolerate all the sports stuff that he loves to watch.
