The X Factor

Anybody watch this show? I think this show is another AI but the show was more dramatic and less funny auditions than AI, but some contestants are just mediocre at best in my opinion, and they let go some good singers. I also heard some contestants here are AI rejects. The only singer that really stand out is this guy, Leroy Bell. I can't believe this guy is 60 years old
, he has really a soulful voice and sometimes I can hear some voice similarity from Michael Bolton.
