X factor winner

Yes she can certainly sing and she's got talent definitely - but the cynical process and hype surrounding it makes me want to chuck up. Proper talent (Adele, Coldplay, Kate Bush, The Feeling, Ed Sheeran etc etc) does not need, and has never needed Cowell's disingenuous talent machine to find it.

As soon as i saw that i just stopped reading. The Feeling? Wow. They wouldnt eat the scraps those other artists you mention, dropped. Even Kanye West is better than the feeling :rofl:

Don't really watch the show now.
The pre tv shown rounds of judging says yes to some that have no vocal ability at all just for entertainment and says no to some that are reasonably capable, but perhaps not "stand out" enough.
As for those that enter, everybody want's their 5 minutes of fame and celebrity.
My wife still watches it, but on catch up and flips through the constant filler.
I think the end of this show isn't far away now.
 
For those who really care... next year's Xfactor is the last one contracted to ITV.

And ITV have just bought the rights to "The Voice" from the BBC from 2017. So there's a very good chance that next year will be the last for XFactor.

As for the talent, there's heaps of rubbish on there yes, and in my opinion even worse than rubbish is plain and simple middle of the road mildly talented people who either have a sob story or are good looking so get a lot of air time and end up in the live shows.

However, the girl who just won is very talented!
 
No doubt the winner can carry a tune. Will she be as big as Leona as the hype would have us believe? Not sure but she'll make a bucket full of cash very quickly once the Cowell juggernault gets up to full speed
