Well I have to say just when you think things were bad, could it get any worse, it certainly has. I don’t know about others but I’m almost to the point of tuning out. Never thought I’d say this but I’m almost wishing Simon was back. Then again, I still say a lot of this is through him. So let’s see what has happened so far (in no particular order):
- Goldie drops out of the live shows and Sami brought back (yay) - Big twist and judges have to vote off one act each in the first week - Ratings drop and is beaten by Strictly - Johnny accused of being a benefits cheat (repeat of Wagner scandal last year) - Kitty accused of being a racist - Misha accused of bullying - Derry has a criminal record - Ashley leaves The Risk and Ashford replaces him from NuVibe - Rhythmix changes their name because of some charity that no one’s heard of using the same name - Tulisa and Kelly fallout - Kelly is sick with a throat infection (supposedly) and can’t fly back from LA and misses a week - Gary and Louis at war - Frankie axed for allegedly taking coke - One of the four rejects from live show one to replace Frankie. Don’t like the new twist. They should have just null and voided last week’s eliminations or carried the votes over. - Gary blames everyone for Frankie’s demise (Gary is just an a*** hole but then he is a David Cameron supporter so what do you expect.) Only one person responsible, Frankie. - Louis is not enjoying the show and may quit next year (if he goes I ain’t watching again) Also, heard Craig and Janet walked out but they were convinced to stay. Have Little Mix changed their name again? On X Factor updates, they are referred to as New Mix in a poll. Can this get any worse? Things seemed OK until this spice up the show because ratings are falling. What a shambles this year has been! If Gary and Kelly are still here next year, no way am I watching. Keep Louis and Tulisa; bring in Alexandra Burke and another male artist, maybe Shayne Ward. |

I would.
The lowest common denominator often sells well, as Simon well knows. |

By that logic I take it Simon has signed you and you've sold well.
Wouldn't you have liked them to have put out a little more original material instead of raiding the musical archives for anything that looked profitable? |

You may not like them but they were both important parts of the show, especially Simon really, he added something to it that Gary just doesn't have but he's trying to be, doesn't work too well though.
Since he abandoned the UK show this "fixer" factor has been eliminated to a fair extent - doubt whether any of the successful contestant's off this year will get very far due to this.Gary Barlow or any of the other panel members just haven't got that much pull within the industry.This is why interest in the show is going down hill fast.Think it was running out of steam anyway as more & more people were beginning to see through what the show was really all about. |
