I can't wait! Thoughts on this year: Bringing back 'the room' audition was a good idea. Never liked going straight to the audience of gawping munters and their ludicrous edited-in expressions of UTTER SHOCK - like aliens just landed on the stage and did the hokey-cokey. My favourite new element is the close-up of 'the finger' sliding the fader up on the mixing desk. Probably attributed to Simon Cowell in the credits - along with everything else. I think there were actually far fewer cringey comedy entrants this year weren't there? - which I think is down to ITV's heartwarming new policy of excluding the mentally ill from auditions this year. Not that I'm watching it, of course.
