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

thanks for posting this, this just confirmed that as i get older, I just cry so easy now.

Makes my little day-to-day worries a little silly.

I watched it three times and each time I get more emotional.

Amidst so much suffering in the world, hope always springs eternal. Always. Imagine indeed.

Thanks so much for posting this. What an emotional and sensitive vocal performance.

Hi Gary,
thank you.

I'd only caught a minute or so of the actual performance when it was on TV a few weeks ago. Hadn't actually seen the lead up.
What an amazing young man.

Their mum, is an really amazing lady. She recently brough a set of siamese twins to Australia

This can certainly place a question mark on those who love to complain; those who are not contented.

Wow,

I promise to try and never complain about anything again. I agree John.

Yep... X-Factory has been running a few years here in Europe. Darn good programming too as it's 100% real and takes people who truly deserve the recognition. People who get through to a certain stage also go on tour, so it helps in more ways than you can imagine.

Only one person or group can win, but many get to go on the tours.

Regards
James.
