Josh Krajcik. X Factor USA. A Star Is Born!
Hi,
.
I have been watching Simon Cowell’s new ‘X Factor USA’.
.
I think that they are going to regret getting rid of Cheryl Cole because she was good, and far more real, than her replacement Nichole Scherzinger.
.
Yes, it must have been a bit intimidating for Cheryl, up against the much more experienced and somewhat pushy Paula Abdul, but I think that after a few weeks she would have been spot-on excellent.
Simon Cowell could also have been more helpful, instead of sitting at the end and playing only to Paula while ignoring Cheryl .
He could at least have sat between the two ladies and been a bit helpful, but instead he has now turned his new gamble into the usual anodyne American show, instead of standing by his first, and better, decision.
.
Hey, I know that all of this is trash really, but it is one of my strange pleasures….I like to see ordinary people who try to change their lives.
.
Anyway, tonight I saw a man called Josh Krajcik come on-stage to give it his best try…. and what a try it was.
.
He travelled with his Mom, who drove for many hours to get him there, and who clearly thought that he was world class….and then some.
.
He came on-stage dressed in his street clothes and looking somewhat unruly and you could tell that he was not really impressing anyone.
.
When he was asked what his choice of song was, it became more interesting….it was ‘At Last’ by the wonderful Etta James.
And so it was….wonderful!
.
Josh’s audition.

Hey, I don’t know about you, but I loved him!…( and his totally supportive Mom)

This is him on a YouTube clip.
The sound is bad but you can still feel him.

.
Not just a restaurant worker I think!
That’s the XFactor USA winner right there!

Josh Krajcik – sublime
Cheryl Cole – ridiculous
