Or is it turning into Showbiz Extra?

I've noticed an increased discussion of things that don't belong here such as this thread http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1860760

Now correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't that belong to the showbiz section or the X Factor section?

I think you are right, I also found it weird seeing it here because it has nothing to do with music.

I don't know. I've been reading these boards for a while now, and threads like the one the OP cited do belong in the Showbiz forum. In fact, there have been a few threads in this forum that would fit better in the Showbiz forum, incidentally, a few also about One Direction.

However, I do think that thankfully there is still a good amount of music discussion in here but that the amount of Showbiz-lite threads seem to be creeping up slowly. Other threads like that one about how music is going down the tubes are evidence that posters on the Music forum are still capable of having a discussion that is actually about music. So, I think that this is a bit of a mixed bag, in that the more musically-themed threads are still there but the Showbiz-lite style threads get posted in here as well. I'd like to see those kinds of threads moved into Showbiz, where they belong.

I think it's actually turned into the equivalent of those weekly teenybopper magazines that used to be aimed at 14 year old girls.

I think you've got a good point there. There seems to be a lot of discussion about X Factor acts, as well as quite a lot of emphasis on chart music. Plus there's the aforementioned One Direction threads.

If you want nothing but cheesy chart music talk, reality TV acts or out of touch fogies crying about how current music isn't as good as the stuff they listened to in their day then this is the music forum just for you. Everyone else might as well find somewhere else better to post.
