I am not a fan of any of these shows in particular but even if i was I could simply not sit through them because of this new obsession with screaming, whistling and hollering at anything!
Host walks on - mad screams from audience
Host says good evening - mad screams
Host say's something not even vaguely funny - mad screams
Host says 3 more things - 3 more breaks for mad screaming
Host introduces guests - mad screaming
Inane chat ensues - mad screaming follows
etc etc etc for a whole bloody hour
Obvioulsy the X Factor is by far the worst but The Cube and Million Pound Drop audiences are almost as bad! Especially considering they aren't even winning any money themselves and there is no way they could possibly be that excited about someone entering a cube to play a game for 1k or some randoms on the Drop.
Some of the cheering on tonight's CIN has just made no sense at all.
I am assuming this is all as a result of tv execs who tell the producers to ramp up the audience noise as it indicates to the public how popular and exciting the show is?? The problem for me is that it doesn't do this at all, it just aggravates. Indiscriminate clapping and wailing just spoils it when there actually is a moment worth getting excited about.
World we live in I spose, not gonna change now, but they must do research on this don't they?? Surely high percentage of public cannot stand the noise on X Factor?

Strictly seems to be going in that direction with all the standing ovations but completely mediocre performances.
minute after "The Basic Cable Band" have finished playing the opening title music. The crowd sound not
entirely dissimilar to a bunch of rabid hyenas being force fed a huge overdose of illegal narcotics!
I can never hear anything the judges are saying on the X Factor and totally gets on my nerves.
Why someone behind the camera cant try to quieten the audience down at that point, in the same way they would have whipped them into a frenzy to begin with is beyond me
The other thing that has appeared recently that I hate is the auto drum background thingy that seems to be an essential nowadays.
They drive me insane and totally ruin X Factor for me, I just want to tell them to SHUT THE F**K UP!!!
And all the while Simon is egging it on for his baby boy band , he encourages the yelling and squeeling from the young girls .
That's because they conveniently quieten down when it's his turn to speak.
To anyone that has been to a live X Factor show in recent years - does it sound as bad in the studio as it does at home?
