I just kept thinking: CAMEO! CAMEO! CAMEO! I mean they could just do the normal thing and show clips from past seasons of people doing amazing things and them being happy or brought to success but nope, got to go ahead and drop names like hotpockets out the microwave.
Well the point was to show off all the previous successful X Factor entrants. It isn't dropping names, it's showing what can potentially happen if you take part in the show.
