Worst series ever to grace ITV
LITERALLY the worst series ever
Its just unbelievably dull, predictable, manipulated and an outright circus How Union J, District 3, Spraggan, Chris, and Rylan have outlasted Carolynne, Jade and Melanie i will never ever understand I cannot watch it anymore because im so uncomfortable with how much im cringing at the tv. The boybands and their harem of completely unfathomably nauseating fangirls screaming etc etc. There stupid hand gesture and air grabs trying to look hip. AGHHH its horrendous. Especially when theyre being told 'you could be the next one direction' Hardly a compliment. Yeah you could be the next manufactured, talentless bunch of pretty boys who release one song and are somehow now gods of music! jeeeeebus The judging panel is horrific! Louis Walsh should never ever have been brought back. He is beyond useless! Dermot and his annoying presenting style. Everything is wrong with this series. Its not a singing competition anymore is a beauty contest, popularity competition and turf war all rolled into one glitzy pile of bull! DONE |

It's a trainwreck, but seems designed to come off the tracks.
Simon to the rescue next year. |

The series has been enjoyable to me but we have lost so many talented singers already.
Carolynne and Jade should have been in the final 5 at least. I think it's just going to be a rather predicable final of Ella,James and Jahmene. I love Ella and Jahmene but I would have loved Jade to have made the final. |

I prefer the acts to last years lot...but I agree the fact that Melaine, Jade and Carolynne got voted off over the other acts is a joke. Yet again we have boybands being pimped throughout the competition, much like One Direction it doesnt matter if they win, the producers just want one of them to get to the last stage so they can gain popularity- its just an easy way for Cowell to promote a new boyband -12 weeks of itv promotion whether we like it or not, saves SyCo doing any of the hard work. At least a couple of them can sing this time around.

It is just so, so bad this year. There isn't a single strong singer in the whole damn thing. Everyone struggles to stay on key and i'm yet to see a shred of emotion from anyone but Lucy. I've seen people championing Ella but if she was in some of the previous years she would be considered first week fodder. Absolute crap.

I am finding this years show very infuriating at the moment!. People keep Rylan and Chris in, yet they get rid of the Carolynnes, Melanies and Jades?
The whole voting process, has been seriously floored!. The show was doomed from week 1 when Louis made that decision to send the Carolynne/Rylan vote to deadlock! Rylan staying in the competition and getting the judges praise (with the exception of Gary Barlow), is embarrasing, how Nicole can seriously think Rylans fantastic, is a joke. I know shes his mentor but surely someone such as Nicole who has one heck of a voice, must know deep down that Rylan is no good (surely?). Yet she criticises Ella?. Find it odd! The shows lost credibility and support, the X Factor juggernaut has perhaps gone as far as it can go now! |

That is why the judges vote is there to rectify the situation should a strong singer end up in the final 2.
The fact its been sent to deadlock 3 times already and that Barlow chose to send Jade home over 1 DRECTION 2 is just despicable |

Add Kye to the list of acts that shouldn't still be in the competition.

Stopped watching it since mk1 left. Fair enough that they had lowest votes but still they were by far the most original act x factor has had. And I'm a fan of their type of music, sooooo
Frankly none of the 4 should have gone, but there you go x factor is becoming downright stupid, been watching it since Series 2 and don't think I'm ever watching it again... the show had its best moments with the Cheryl, Danni, Simon, Louis panel, since then it's gone downhill completely. And I agree Kye should not be there, boring as hell. But somehow think its D3 going next week. |

I think 2006-2007 was a worse era for the show than 2011-2012, its just that they found Leona in 2006. Take her out of the equation and what is left?

It doesn't really matter how they rig the voting, the fact is, it's just rigged.
I agree 100% with the OP. It's far too long both in programme and series duration. Louis Walsh should be shuffled off to clinic in Switzerland. He's so not relevant this century. Get it off the TV and give us back Saturday night entertainment... |

This year has just really pushed the boat out by making it as unfair as it possibly can with the voting change, and sending all the tricks used to get people to vote for certain acts at the expense of others through the roof. Because that is what brings in the money, if not the ratings as much anymore. All designed to either come crashing down in controversy and Gary being 'sacked' or him just 'quitting' anyway. Then all change for the 10th series next year, with the rebranding and hype promising 'this will never happen again'

Well said OP....I swear you read my mind...Until it becomes about vocal talent again the show is doomed
It is called the X-factor and is not all about singing. There has to be something other than just talent, that's just what the X-factor is. You have to be able to have a personality beyond your obvious talent, because in the celebrity world you can not survive by Talent alone. Ask Steve Brookstein, ask Matt Cardle, ask Leon Jackson, let's be honest good voices but without that added something. |

Was it ever. Again people seem to be confusing the X-factor with the voice.

You could even ask Leanne who won The Voice to illustrate that point. I can't even remember her surname.
