I am watching the final twelve X Factor acts perform their new charity single, Help For Heroes.

The first thing that struck me was how polished it was and what a great effect they had on Eoghan’s voice….wait a minute…..effect? They couldn’t possibly be miming. But they are!

Surely X factor is a singing contest, not a lip syncing contest.

Even Girls Aloud sang live on the show last week but the final twelve X Factor acts, who should be amongst the most talented in the country can’t even sing a live song between them.

I feel kind of let down now……
