So, I have been somewhat following this season of Britain's The X Factor for two major reasons. One, because Cheryl Cole owns a part of my soul. Two, Leona Lewis came from that show, and she owns another part of my soul. Clearly, I have a vested interest in who comes from Simon Cowell's other little talent competition.
To be honest, though, this season's talent has been a bit lacking. One contestant is being inexplicably held as the one of the contestants ever (Danyl), while one duo inexplicably survived weeks despite having zero talent (John and Edward).
There is one contestant who has been consistently amazing since the auditions, and is finally getting the praise from the judges. His name is Joe McElderry, a Geordie (same as mentor Cheryl) with a voice equitable to the texture of milk and honey.
This past week, Joe delivered two of his best performances, singing "Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word" and "Could It Be Magic":
Some fun trivia (and possible kismet): Leona performed both of those songs during her stint on the program. Now, she's a pop sensation.
Hopefully, Joe will see the same path.
