UK versus Australia: The X-Factor

2 September 2011 Entertainment Australia

This week the Australian version of The X-Factor began a new series on television. From what I can see, the program appears to be on almost every night, lasting over an hour for each one. So I won’t be watching it, no way will I spend that much of my time watching wannabee’s warbling. But [...]
