I've been an American Idol fan for years, but as of late it seems to be overwhelmed by those who figured out ways to rig the voting system by using computers. I'm not sure this is the case, but it's the way it appears, and there is a group that claims they were able to manipulate the vote system.

I recently began watching The X-Factor on Fox and it's a breath of fresh air, at least for me. What I failed to realize is the show is taking place worldwide. Today, I received an email from a friend that provided a YouTube link to the Australian version, a link that really humbles anyone who takes the time to watch it. Thought I would pass it along to the good folks on this forum.

Enjoy,

Gary
