How dire.

Tonight's X-factor was probably one of the most dire of the series. At least two of the acts cocked up and the other two were lackluster. None of the acts have improved while being on the show and some even seem to be going backwards.  The judges must have realised by now that none of the remaining acts have got the X-factor and however hard they work they will never gain the X-factor because people are born with the X-factor it's not something that can be taught or acquired.
