X Factor: W4 Make A Great Impression!
One of the (few) talented acts to appear on tonight’s X Factor premiere will ve a five piece girl group W4. Can I just ask why on earth they chose W4 when there are five of them. Simon Cowell etc didn’t seem to notice, but it bugged the hell out of me.
Anyway, the Welsh girl group sang Heaven by Bryan Adams, wowing all the judges except of course Mr Cowell. He branded them “unoriginal” but Dannii Minogue strongly disagreed.
She exclaimed:
“I absolutely disagree with you. The unity and your (W4) energy is amazing. It’s like I want to be in your gang, I want to go wherever you go next cos you look like you’re going to have fun!”
So the girls are through to the next stage, ones to watch out for I think.

Viva W4 suerte, good luck W4…Its all about commitment girls ,and you seem very commited..at last, from the millions out there..we think Leigh and the girls have that X ..Shackattack band ..costa del sol
