"You're like a little Lenny Henry"

Okay, so Simon wore some old-man Harry Potter glasses, Rebecca sang slightly above average and Wagner dressed up as Elvis... but the one person everyone's talking about after last night's X Factor is, err, Lenny Henry. Why? Only Louis Walsh can explain that one...

In an amazing moment of inappropriateness from the Irish mentalist, Louis blurted at Paije after his performance:

 

"YOU'RE LIKE A LITTLE LENNY HENRY!"

Louis was clearly just yelling out the name of the first black person that came into his head. But we doubt Paije was offended at the connotations, more at the fact his performance was compared to that of the least entertaining man in the country.

 

So after that bombshell, what talking points were there left to discuss?

 

Well, for a start, Aiden - who looked a lot like a white Lenny Henry - needs to stop pretending he's having a stroke every time he performs. It's actually becoming quite unnerving. Dannii Minogue should probably find a new stylist, after wearing what looked like a Christmas present wrapped by her 6-month old child; while Katie Weasel should probably find a new career, after another mind-numbing attempt at singing. As for Wagner, he can just keep doing what he's doing. His attempt at Elvis last night was one of the greatest shambles television has ever witnessed.

 

Finally, Simon clearly had a wand erection after watching his five teenage boys perform Kim Wilde - what was essentially his coming out party.

 

Oh, and a note to Cher: we're never going to take your Jay Z impersonations seriously when you're riding across the stage on the back of a trike.

 

Mary to go. Wagner to win.

  • Katie's performance was really quite terrifying. That insane short film playing behind her was as scary as that bit in the Ring when that bint comes out of the telly.
