Television X Factor 2009

These people who sing - using the term loosely - really badly, and then looks surprised at not getting through, do they watch themselves afterwards, and realise why they were rejected, or do they still not get it?

And if tone deaf means that you think you're singing well, what do tone deaf people think of singing that is actually quality?

It would surprise me if some of these bad/rude acts are just planted for entertainment value.
 
i'm sure last night's last act was planned - simon being fed up , cheryl saying
" heaven help the next act " etc etc, and then danyl coming on and wowing them

Well I think that's in the editing.

I don't know about people being planted - I do think some people are delusional, and some just want to get on tv regardless of how they sound.
 
The big thing I dont like about the new look is that they have the option of using backing tracks now. Backing tracks can make a massive difference to someones performance and isnt very fair on people who auditioned on previous shows.

I just dont see the need to change it, apart from money of course which probably is the reason. Its just made it all look so fake and shit
 
But, but..

Cheryl is pretty so that makes everything ok.

And the big moment when the family outside the door are waiting nervously and you get the big reaction when they pass or fail. Now they're watching it with the audience, it has no soul anymore :(
 
Its all scripted, in the same way Simons facial expressions are scripted...
In-fact life in general seems to become scripted.

And then the alien anthropologists admitted they were still perplexed but on eliminating every other reason for our sad demise they logged the only explanation left
This species has amused itself to death.

did anyone else think that danyl wasn't that good? first of all he needs to learn how to spell his name, and secondly learn to sing!

I thought he was very good but the judges went over the top. He certainly isnt the best singer to have gone on but is a natural showman which is why it was such a good audition. He wouldn't have been able to do that in the old format, he'd have just looked stupid.

and he wouldnt have had the backing track which would have made his performance alot less "Special"

It was a brilliant performance that he definitely needed to get noticed.

Be interesting to hear him actually sing and when he's not bouncing around.

Then we'll see.

On the plus side tho...he is well fit.
 
New format has made it shitter than it was before.

Can't take it seriously with the live audience and all the hype on the first auditions.

The first auditions were fine as they were, now it's just gotten too predictable to the point where even an amazing performance doesn't make me sit up.
 
Is the audience full of wannabes too?

I heard last years winners, Alexandra, song that features Flo Rida...poor
 
a good singer but nothing out of the ordinary - kris allan i think he was called.
if you get chance look for adam singing a whole lot of love and mad world - he really is superb.

Downloaded his version of "One." I like it.

P.s. I'm going to out on a limb with this one but I also think he may be gay.
 
:lol:
you noticed that too!
look for david cook on youtube singing hello, billie jean and i don't want to miss a thing, and tell me what you think ( although he got nicer the more the season progressed )

I managed to watch that season back when I had digital. It's just since I moved into my new flat that I'm back to just the five channels :mad:
 
The live audience has ruined it...the people who laugh are just as shit, or worse
 
Adam Lambert is fantastic, he really has it all - the look, charisma, stage presence and such a wonderful voice that he can sing anything he wants to.

isn't he fabulous? i have no idea how he didn't win - what a voice !
i've downloaded all his songs and you're right, he can sing anything.
have you heard him sing mad world and tracks of my tears? superb!

Yes I've watched his version of Mad World countless times, it's spine-tingling beautiful.
