Television X Factor 2010

I genuinely hate the fact this thread is 13 pages long. It should be no longer then 2 and the majority of posts should be attempted derailments and people calling anyone discussing the intended topic a spastic.

I'd say a good quarter are posts like yours. People coming in here only to slate the others who watch it. Uneccessary, if you hate it so much, you wouldn't come in here to discuss it.

People like the programme. It's entertainment. You don't, fair enough, go away.
 

Absolutely LOVE Matt Cardle. :D


:lol: Cowell face @ 3.05, the ball just dropped and you can tell what he was thinking, MONEY!

This is actually surprisingly good, his tone, range and control is really is to be admired, and from what i've heard he's the best contestant that has come from these shows. I would actually say that version is up there with the original and Roberta Flacks.

Though Simon was a twat for stopping it, the only thing I could think of why he did it is because he going to want him to perform it on one of the shows or release it as a single so the the only complete versions is done after the post mentor shit (whatever that is) and in some way he'll get credit for it.

This video just reminds me how much I hate Simon Cowell, he's such a self important arrogant cnut, “why didn't we noticed him before”? Which he then proceeds to answer his own question, what a dick!
It probably more because your all a bunch of fecking Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime, who are just looking for singers who sing power ballards.

The self-confidence, or lack of has got nothing to do with it, among with his voice, the most endearing thing about him is his sense of vulnerability on stage and he seems to get into the song, Simon appears to want to turn him into some over confidant arse, who is going to be constantly starring down the camera giving a cheesy grins. Unfortunately for him he probably going to get raped by the x factor machine, which will be a shame.

I'm actually going to be watching this show for the first time in a long time, if I can bare it. Everyone at work is talking about it, while I sit there like a melon, and the girl I like watches it, so I've got to make the effort there!:)

I haven't come here to discuss it, which is why this will be my last post in here. I don't hate it anyway, I just don't understand why anyone would like it enough to discuss it. As far as I can make out the only 'entertainment' which is derived from it, is watching the painfully shit singers in the preliminary rounds, which I guess is a great example of schadenfreude.

But I think saying it's entertainment is a bit of a push. That's a bit like saying Jordan is beautiful.

Best Wayne Rooney performance in ages. :)

Good man.

It was stupid anyway, because after the first audition, he said that he "really really liked him."

By saying what he did at bootcamp, he kind of showed himself up.

People have different tastes. It's a popular programme, to different audiences. The idea behind the show is what gets the views. Your average Joe can be cleaning toilets one mintue, and next mintue be on ITV on a saturday night. I agree, the retards are painful to watch and it does seem X factor is the only place where it is acceptable to take the piss out of people who clearly have mental disabilties. But on the other side, there are some pretty good singers.
Last week, a 40 year old fat Irish lady who works at Tesco, gave a brilliant performance, she had a great voice. That is why people discuss the programe, for every Jedward, there are some good singers.

i asssume you mean the country Jordan because there's no way you could mention Jordan in the same sentence as beautiful

but I digress - it's good entertainment really - personally I love X Factor, even I occasionally loathe some of the contestant ( Ray Quinn springs to mind )

As Livvie and WR have said, Biscuit, don't waste your breath or typing on it! Just ignore it - like I do Come Dancing!

Precisely. For me it's as fake and un-entertaining as Jordan is as fake and un-attractive. Xfactor is just fast food, trash TV, but if you do genuinely enjoy it who I am to judge. I guess it's just easy viewing, something to which the audience can slob out to, as it requires no real engagement from the viewer.

Ah ok, its probably just done for effect, like that Wanger guy, surely there were better people then him. I bet he was just put in based on how terrible he is and people will rally round and try and keep him in there, like a show of sticking their middle finger upto Simon Cowell, all oblivious that they are actually be manipulated by Cowell himself.
After all Cowell did bring up such artists such as the teletubbies and Zig and Zag. He doesn't care who wins, or the music they go onto produce, just as long as they line his pockets.

EDIT: like this guy :lol:

Dont make me start a new thread on this!

And I'm sure that was very entertaining the first few times, but surely now it's all a bit predictable? It's clear the producers certainly think so, as each component of the show gets more and more exaggerated each year. The contestants are more exaggerated, with their sob stories, the judges are now so exaggerated they are caricatures of themselves and over the top drama is artificially introduced frequently.

well you don't have to watch it if you don't like / agree with it!
 
Theme is their music heroes...saw pics of Prince, John Lennon, Tom Jones and errr..Jay-Z on the screens
 
This is rough - the key to this is not to pick a song by one of the great showmen of all time.
 
Poor compared to Ruth Lorenzo's version.

Purple Rain, the original, is class
 
How did Cheryl pick Cher and Katie over this girl?

I don't think this is a great performance of the song, but it's better than anything those two have done.
 
Because Cheryl herself doesn't know what constitutes a good singer as she isn't one herself.

FACT!!

I looked through old you tube clips of Cheryls audicions from pop stars, and the ones that havn't been removed (prob by her record company) show that she was never a great singer. In fact she's much worse than a lot of the ones she slates on this show. Nadine is far and away more talented than her and thats why she and cowell wont allow nadine to perform on the show. They are trying to stop her solo career before it starts!!
 
Shit just got real with some shots of Brian Freidman
 
Some of the song choices are going to go way over the head of the voting public. If they want votes they should concentrate on something that's a bit better known. Sad maybe, but true.
