X-Factor or Z-Factor

Did you see Leona... sorry Alexandra won X-Factor, battling on through tears and streaked make-up and a little bit of Beyonce-stalking (was it just me or did Beyonce look just a little bit terrified).

Then she got a hold of the Leonard Cohen classic, which was made a masterpiece by the late Jeff Buckley, and stripped it of all the sexuality, the pain and the anger, everything that he had enriched the song with and replaced these things with what?

a choir and a key change...

someone ring Don McLean, the music has offically died....
