NEW SINGLE: X Factor // Samantha Jade: Firestarter // Johnny Ruffo: Untouchable


X Factor finalists (and winners) have been busy bringing out new stuff for fans to enjoy. Since I haven't reviewed the music scene on my own blog (other reviews on: Love Music; Love Life), I thought I should come back and do an X Factor special considering Season FOUR starts MONDAY 29th JULY.


Johnny Ruffo - Untouchable


The Song: Going for a JT vibe, Untouchable has Ruffo showing off is falsettos and the accompaniment brings you to your feet. Which is no joke considering...

The Video: ALSO has a JT feel with the black and white glaze along with suit and ties - not to mention epic dance moves. I did get distracted by the guy closest to Ruffo on the right, who is half a beat slower than everyone else. Other than that, I preferred watching the video than listening to the song.

Samantha Jade - Firestarter


The Song: JT aside, Kylie seems to be re-incarnated through look AND sound for 2012's X Factor winner, Samantha Jade's new single. Although Sammy-Jay has been herald the new Kylie, it's great to see her coming into her own. Staying true to her winner's single, 'What You've Done To Me', Firestarter, carries the same fierce attitude that got Sammy through last year's competition.

The Video: Also with a black and white glaze, has a little Ellie Golding feel to showcase the  fire-starter glow that the song alludes to. There's no denying that there's an extra large dollop of sexiness added to the mixture of excellent dancing and heated performance shots.
