Just read the story on the homepage about Simon Cowell receiving a warning from US execs about provocative performances in the US version. Apparently thousands of people complained about Christina Aguillera and Rihanna's performances on the grand final show.
I'm just wondering if these people have a life, and if they were watching the same show as me 'cos I don't remember seeing anything that remotely raised an eyebrow hair.

It was simply because the show went out before 9pm watershed, young kids are watching the show so the people who complained are absolutely within their rights and correct to do so.
Not the point the point is that is the Law, and until that is changed it is technically illegal.
I have to agree with this coz I dont particularly remember anything "sluttish" either ...
I'd like to make the point that I'm a 24 year old male and there's nothin more I love than a bit a' skin but nothing on X factor got me excited.
What were they complaining about though? I seriously don't get it. The performances were no 'worse' than anything else I've seen on TV at that time of night.
Eh???
One of the blonde dancers, her clout was apparently hanging out and they were simulating sex:D
Eh??? read all the posts then:D
I agree with the OP.
But it wasn't illegal, they were just clothed and dancing against chairs on stage. They weren't fully clothed, by any means, but they certainly weren't as revealing as a lot of other things on TV, such as sunbathing girls in The Hills and those moments we see as 'embarrassing moments' when a soap star gets naked for the wrong person and stuff. There's much worse stuff and I hardly think it's illegal.
What part of the law, exactly?
Well maybe illegal is too strong a word but the toothless watchdog Ofcom or whoever it is will decide if it contravines the law as it stands.
I dont care either way but it was the parents of young children who thought the content of the show was too strong for terrestial TV.

A bigger concern will be some of the backup dancers during the live performances. The girls rubbing their boobies (Wagner), the half-naked male dancers (Bel Amie, Diva Fever), and the cross dressing (Nicolo). That won't go over well with the USA.
This bit that regulates terrestial TV
"The TV watchdog will look at whether the routines broke the broadcasting code which seeks to protect children from sexualised content."
Ofcom itself has received 2,750 complaints with more than 1,500 being registered directly with ITV.
Last week the regulator was accused by politicians of dragging its feet over making a decision on whether to probe the show or not. They feared that it was waiting for the anger to die down before quietly dropping any investigation.
But this was entirely inappropriate for what is supposed to be a family show. It started at 7.30pm; it's just unnecessary and a little sad that successful, powerful women in the music industry feel they have to douse themselves in Eau de Trollop before they take to the stage.
I really think my nine year old daughter and her friends could have done without watching it. I really do. Innocence is short-lived enough in this world. Before I was a parent, I'd have been laughing my ass off at the complaints, by the way. Your perspective changes.
That's a bit rude.
I have to say I wasn't thinking of children when I was watching it, if anyone was that is pretty sick but nothing to do with the show.
This is why there is a law in place to protect children before 9pm from the content on terrestial TV. It is the parents resposibility to protect them from Sky ect.
