Michael Jackson is an inspiration and we are approaching him,

Well, I wasn't smug with Sharon. But I was smug with Simon because I didn't think Steve had the X Factor. I'm not against him, I just think he was Mr Average.

You are all amazing - self congratulation on the girls he chose

The girls look like they are a band already - the boys don't

Chico wants this - I'm not taking his dream away.

That's a bit late, isn't it? I have been working with my acts for three weeks now and I often text them and chat on the phone. Sharon flew into the country last week to be with hers. It looks like Simon only has a couple of days to get things right.
