Simon Cowel's show that "Pop Idol" evolved into, in the UK, is "The X Factor", where the judges are always going on about the "wow" factor.

>For sure. I'm with Naomi on this one. While I think she's a terrific singer, I don't think she will make it past the final 6 or 5. Her performances lack the 'wow' factor for the show. In reality it all depends on how many fans she has out there phoning in on her behalf. In past seasons I've seen singers who I felt were not one of the best make it almost to the end! Look at how far Master P on Dancing with the Stars made it and somehow Jerry made it past Stacy!

>>Fine. And if she's the winner you cook me some borsch, with a bottle of your best blue vodka, and I get 9 stars (the 3rd thread title will be started by you: "Terry is omniscient and a great judge of talent" :-)
