The X Factor Gets it Right with Shirlena Johnson

The UK's X Factor premiered this week and it's already better than American Idol. First, the show is using some strange autotune technique to fix the contestants' auditions. Odd. Second, the show is letting people like Shirlena Johnson advance to the next round. Watch Shirlena audition and you'll fall in love with her just like we did. Can America's X Factor be as awesome as this with contestants like Shirlena and Jedward?

She's fantastic! I lost it when Simon started cracking up. I'm moving to the UK.

I loved this so much. She was the only bright spot in a completely dull show. I've watched it five times and it still cracks me up.

WTF is with the auto tune for each auditioner?

AHHHH! YES! The lady is batshit crazy and I LOVE IT! Because of her, I "released" all the tension I had. I want her to go far just so I can see her go primal or chanting a kookabarra mating call.
