Is xfactor now just another cheap reality show?
X factor started off allegedly as a talent show. But we all know that for years many have been voting for reasons that have blow all to do with talent. The debacle of Ryland and Christopher being a typical example this year.
Don't we have enough reality shows on tv - why are people just turning xfactor into another reality show? If people want to vote for people because they want to be 'entertained' - then don't watch talent shows. This 'demand' from the younger viewers for tacky reality shows has led to the judges putting through contestants who can't sing - to attract young viewers and their votes. What is the point of the show now? |

Go read up on the definition of a "reality show". It was always one.

However it did produce at least two singers who are talented - Leona and Joe. It is the stuff since they won which has changed the show.

It has always been a reality show. The odd thing is that when it was done more on a shoe string in the early series it was significantly better. It is still a reality show but it's certainly not cheap to produce these days and all the poorer for it.
