Gary Barlow might not return to X factor next year..
18/11/2011
As the stand-in judge for Simon Cowell, Gary Barlow has proved hugely popular with viewers on the X Factor. The Take That star has hinted however that he might not return for the next series of the show. Speaking at last night’s Children in Need Rocks gig in Manchester Gary said:
“I’m taking some time off next year to remind myself who my children are and what their names are, It’s been nice to concentrate on something other than X Factor. We’re in a bubble down there. It’s been good to leave London. We get tied up with our own importance.”
Gary doesn’t strike us as the kind of man who enjoys drama, and this series of X Factor has been so heavily PR’d we’re not surprised he feels like throwing in the towel altogether!

Idowu's favourite song..
Rihanna ft Calvin Harris- We Found Love
- Variety of jump-cuts
- The beginning voice of the woman exploring the idea of love being uncontrollable.
- variation of locations
- abrupt cut
- what like in particular is the use juxtaposition of shot showing and having fun in a relationship.
- i also like that the song tell the story and the shots further this,
- The video also play around with genre,typically an Rnb females video would not be set in such a location and convey a distorted message.

J-Cole- Lost One

T- Pain ft. Lily Allen and Wiz Khalifa- 5 o'clock
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noLrCDzAp5M
- The camera shots used in the video are very effective, and the blurry background seems to be a common trend throughout the video.
- There seems to be a lot of close ups.
- I particularly enjoy this song not because of the technical aspect but because the artists from this track are all from a different genre and you rarely find these artists collaborate.
