X Factor

[Beezerk]

I know, I've started an X Factor thread, oh the shame!
Unfortunately the daughter had it on in the living room last night, is it my imagination or has it got even tackier and "americanfied"?
It was like watching WWF but with semi naff singing :clap:

It's worse than that!

I thought it was more like the Hunger Games

Only ever seen half an episode at my sisters house, but I can't believe it has got tackier and downmarket form what I saw. Is that actually possible, as the bit I saw wasn't exactly Open University?

And on a related TV thing, anyone else see Marvellous the other night on BBC2? It was indeed marvellous, well worth catching up on on the iplayer if you missed it. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b04jmx7l/marvellous

It's got worse. Less about the talent (which isn't there) and more about shocks, personalities and ratings.

Yes I heard an excellent review for that programme on t' wireless the other day.

It's all about Cheryl Cole.
Can't stand her.

i'm gonna enter it next year, come up with a sob story, take my kids with me, warble a bit and get a multi million pound contract! What could go wrong?

I've always quite liked it but last night was awful..."I don't know what to do" bleat, bleat, bleat. Then her choices were awful and surely went on how she felt about the contestant rather than ability.

It feels a tradition in our house to watch it but think we might be coming to the end of it!

Plus it`s fixed

It's utter shi........whoops, nearly swore there.

I really can't stand these 'reality' type programmes. Cheap car crash tv that offers little (if anything) in the way of entertainment. I feel sorry for the poor sods, who, in an attempt to keep the other half happy, have to suffer over 2 hours of fat, sunbeded, peroxide blonde balloons muller Miley or Rhianna before bursting into tears and storming off (with all the grace of a rhino with the runs) when the obvious deficiency of any discernible talent is pointed out.

X factor and programmes of this type shouldn't get near the telly, and anyone giving them viewing figures should be taken outside, lined up and beaten soundly with a rolled up copy of the tv times until they promise to desist from encouraging moronic, talentless, wannabe celebrity cretins from polluting the airwaves!

In my very humble opinion of course.

Can't argue with that, unfortunately.

It's very very hard to fix phone votes shows now - they get scrutinised so much

The people they get for auditions are seeker out to ensure they get in but once those live shows start the public chose the bottom two is it ?

You do see some talented people on the shows - it's a shame they get over shadowed by some people dying for publicity without having an ounce of talent

It's not hard to choose different genres to suit certain people.
Or what order they sing.
Or even how they edit the shows.

You should see my drunk karaoke, it is something to behold. Steelers wheel, stuck in the middle is a fav, as is the classic David Gray Babylon....

TAXI!!!!!!!

My mate insists on Wuthering heights when he's had a skin full. It's painful.

With me it's Wurthering Heights.

Addicted to love was my go to song. Abacab was another fav although not many round here had that. Probably a good job

You mean WWE I assume and not comparing with watching a conservation charity
