First Trailer For The X Factor UK Arrives

Packing an almost entirely new set of judges, there's a lot of pressure on the eighth season of The X Factor to deliver here in the UK. The main question most of us cynics seem to be asking is just whether the programme can really find any genuinely impressive new talent, with the winners of the previous two competitions not exactly shooting for the stars after recieving their cheque and contract. Here we have the first advertisement promotion for Season Eight, showing the four judges- Louis Walsh, Kelly Rowland, Tulisa Contostavlos (try saying that when you're drunk!) and Gary Barlow- walking onto the red 'X' logo of the show, and turning to face us. Predictably, it's absolutely captivating viewing, and begs the question why we need such dramas like Doctor Who and Law & Order when we can just have ongoing singing competitions severely lacking in talent. You might have guessed that my anticipation for The X Factor's return is at an all time low, but I will still tune in for the first episode and give you my thoughts when the blog's hiatus comes to an end. The X Factor begins on ITV1 on August 20th.
