I haven't been on FB for months. When did I ever post about X Factor? :?

Last year. Lots. You and I would ramble on for ages about it.

Um... no I didn't. I don't watch it. I tweeted about Masterchef all the time, and also the Eurovision Song Contest.

That's why it's so good. But let's be honest, there isn't a music competition in Europe that isn't weird.

The thing is it's huge and essentially irrelevant at the same time. The music is supposed to be extremely commercial yet it rarely produces actual hits.

I'm failing to understand why any of this is a problem. It's highly camp and extremely funny and good to watch while drinking.

I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to be official to begin with.
I'm guessing 11 days is the least optimistic prediction.

What's not meant to be official? A leak? An official leak is just called the release date, right?

It is? I should try. I've never managed to watch the whole thing.

Most people watch it for the hilarity, and most of the performers know this so they camp it up as much as possible. Most of the singles are too ridiculous to do very well commercially outside of the competition itself. Just occasionally they're just this side of the line of farcical, so they do well.

A lot of people play drinking games while watching it. We did that on the last one, can't remember the rules though.
