As for MTV/Bauer going X Factor potty ... its that time of year again but I bet you won't see this lot feature songs out of Strictly will we?? Looking at VH1/MTV Classic on this!”
It won't be long if ratings continue to drop. We've stopped watching as much because of the content being so poor and now Heat have forgotten the 00's and gone all current. Really, what's the point?

I don't think there is anything "memorable" for the 2010s.”
They don't have any creative freedom it appears.
CS Dance had a request show earlier - tweet in etc - I could swear my requests weren't even moving the bars. I then search to see if anyone has tweeted the winning song on a few occasions - not one request. It seems they just pick the songs themselves and make you think you are requesting. I think sometimes you are, but their are untouchable songs that must always be played, voted for or not, so it's clearly CS Dance picking them.
