has anyone noticed at the very end of every episode theres a sympathy win what i mean is yesterday someone who was in iraq and lost 2 freinds was on it and it was obvious he would get through because ppl were upset for him also a week before some womens dad died and left the x factor audition sheet for her and it was shown right at the end i know that losing friends and family is sad but i dont think they should get an advantage

The absolute no hopers
The wierdos
The comic relief
The angry loser with no insight
The plucky sob story
The person who may actually have the x factor
Throw in some banter between the judges
Put in microwave on re-heat for 25 seconds
ping! your done. One episode of the x factor
PS I love the fact that Simon's head is an almost perfect cube.
FF through the adverts, people waving their arms and making X signs, Dermot being a **** and the heart-wrenching human interest stories and just watch the auditions.
Nuff said.
There are some auditioners who clearly have mental issues, yet they are put up there to be laughed at.
How convenient that so many of the would-be contestants have a tragic story to tell, complete with heartrending soundtrack. :rolleyes:
You're obsessed with viewing figures.
That's over 50 million people who didn't watch it you know!
No, you are obsessed with negativity. I am trying to get the point across that if you don't like a show, don't watch it. :rolleyes:
People are merely expressing their concern about the state of TV.
X Factor is manipulative, pre-planned and ordained tosh.
Yet it is constantly one of the highest rated shows on tv. It's what people want to see.
Bring back hanging then.
Where exactly do they release the viewing figures?
You can find them on either BroadcastNow.co.uk or the Media Guardian.
For me, it does not get watchable until the 'live' shows.
If you don't watch the heats you won't miss anyting of any significance.
And not forgetting the 'leaked' panel arguments...Sharon snubs Danni etc, just to ensure the other 50 million of us might be arsed to watch :yawn:
Although probably now long-forgotten, Pop Idol did in fact retain the idea that we were watching for the talent. I remember greatly enjoying the behind-the-scenes rehearsals shown on ITV2 and presented by Kate Thornton. In those days, while we did get to know more about the contestants during the week, the music remained at the heart of the programme. TV talent shows have a long pedigree and have always been popular. I think the development of X Factor into the formulaic dross that it is now is the consequence of a complete disconnect between television executives and the audience they are supposed to serve.
We Are Still Waiting For "leona" To Release A Single Nearly 1 Year After Winning The Bloody Show
Ffs What Was The Point Of Last Years X Factor When The "winner" Hasnt Even Released A Single Yet???
Watching obviously mentally disturbed people or dozens of wannabes is all a bit boring now.
If they want to find a real musically talented person or someone with the 'X Factor' it should only have talents that write their own songs and/or play so much of the music involved.
All the show does is introduce to the public a person that has a good,yet indistiguisable voice that cannot write music/play music or have any artistic individuality.On top of this it overexposes them from the get go.
It's WAY too corporate for my liking.
Yes, her Christmas number one single really was that forgettable!
And the poster has a point, she hasn't released anything since, and if she does so now, it won't succeed as she'll already be 'so last year'.
The programme is utterly pointless, producing singers, not 'pop stars', and acts with no staying power. To compare with another field of human endeavour, say a football scout discovered four strikers for a club over four seasons. Each one would score a hattrick in their first game, but then stop scoring and eventually be dropped from the team for poor performance. What would be the point of continuing to employ this scout?
Yes it was pretty much the same formula last week as well...
...after many poor applicants on the day the judges apparently gave up all hope, but the very last contestant on the day was a sweet girl whose close relative recently died of a disease or something,...cue sad music and emotional manipulation.
