X Factor Bosses 'Desperate' To Find New One Direct
Quote:
The X Factor moved into a state of panic as they are urgently looking for bands that are likely to match the success of One Direction and Little Mix, according to a new report. http://www.entertainmentwise.com/new...-One-Direction
With judges Nicole Scherzinger, Gary Barlow, Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne apparently putting only a handful of groups through to the second auditions, the need to look for more groups to audition is desperate. Therefore, bosses are doing all they can for bands to come forward and take part in the last-minute auditions, which are TODAY, at the Price Studios in Battersea, London. Despite the large number of groups the judges saw via YouTube and auditions, they were said to be hugely disappointed with the lack of talent. As seen in the past, the category of the groups is generally the weakest and the panel often have to mix and match the groups to get the best out of the group. This strategy has worked with the success of One Direction and Little Mix. The final round of auditions of "behind closed doors" takes place in Cardiff on Wednesday and the panel hope to see more groups that have genuine talent than what they've seen already. It has been noted that Gary and Sharon are back to their old ways with their strict standards as they aim to make the 10th anniversary of the show the best yet. An X Factor source reportedly The Sun: "The judges are being tougher than ever. “Sharon and Gary are teaming up against lackluster talent — and without the arena audience being there to persuade them as in previous years, not many acts are making it through." However, Nicole and Louis are taking a different approach and are looking on ways on developing an act. The source added: "Nicole and Louis are more open to the idea of developing the acts. “But Sharon and Gary are insisting that they only want the best. It’s causing a bit of a split between the panel. Ideally, they want to get groups that have been together a while and have got chemistry, rather than having to make their own. “They know the talent is out there, they just have to find it.” Due to the dip in ratings in last year's series, bosses have gone back to basics in order to bring back the 2million viewers that had an effect on the TV ratings. The first audition will involve contestants performing in front of the four judges in conferences of hotel rooms with no audience or backing track. Those that progress to the second round of auditions will perform in front of an audience in order to prove they have the nerve to sing in front of a live audience, before progressing further through the competition. |

Clearly then Louis and Sharon are going to be left with 2 and therefore one show to be screened near Christmas.
Hasnt anyone pointed out to them that the whole show is built around lack of talent!! |

The show does not need a new 1D or Little Mix.
What it needs is a good, original group, one that brings something to the show that we haven't seen before. Probably a mixed group. |

I personally think it is a shame that the luminites entered BGT instead of XF as I think they would be good for XF as they're different from the types of groups we get on XF.

Luminites would have done well on XF this year, but I'm certain that they will go onto have a very successful career..

Luminites from BGT were absolutely fantastic and I hope they get signed . I would definitely buy their stuff for the girl's voice alone and I am not a big fan of the female voice

Gary may be championing males to win the show - probably because they outshine the females. James had something about him that got people to like him, no wonder Gary wanted him to win. And he has been mentoring mainly male contestants in the past two years anyway so I wouldn't say its a proven statement. Just for that reason, I'd like for him to be given the Girls this year. |

MK1 were good but they weren't given good enough song choices, and just stuck with the 'urban' theme throughout which was bound to get on some people's nerves. Union J were fine as well - they at least had a member with a voice that you wouldn't expect to hear from a boyband member (Jaymi) and is rather distinctive so it's not all 'samey'. They were not 1D copycats as they were better vocally than 1D were during XF and just to mention they weren't put together at bootcamp like they were - they auditioned as a three piece and then the producers decided to add George to the band before judges houses.

MK1 were pretty good but were given terrible song choices because Louis was more invested in the boybands and vocally, Union J were quite good for a boyband, District 3 were the weaker boyband IMO.

Whenever the question of Union J copying One Direction comes up all I can think of are the really entertaining pictures made by Directioners.
http://sphotos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto...95576396_n.jpg http://media.tumblr.com/fc420f8d96c2...RDM1rviod2.jpg http://p.twimg.com/A8Ns7XdCAAAoxRb.jpg:large Evidently the similarities are endless. But as to this, I agree that a young mixed group would be best. Surprised they didn't suggest to The Luminities when they auditioned for BGT to try X Factor instead. They would have had a chance to establish a fanbase and in any case would have benefited from much more performance opportunity. |

Despite the headline the article never said the show was looking for a new One Direction or Little Mix: Quote:

So it could be a duo, a mixed group or anything.

Quite possibly the same people, |

1D may be "manufactured" but they have enough of their personality that shines through to connect with their audience... and the chemistry... the f*cking C H E M I S T R Y sometimes i still dream about it and wake up crying... with happiness

I don't think the clothing similarities are really down to styling/being manufactured. I imagine anyone could go to a town centre, find 50 men of a similar age to the two bands and the mass majority would be dressed as similarly to each other as Union J and One Direction are between themselves. There's nothing remarkable about either styling to make copying a valid point. .

I don't see the comparison with George and Harry at all. They look nothing alike. I wish people would stop going on about it.
