Maybe it's too easy to make comparisons but look at the anti climax that was X Factor 2014.
The media made a massive deal about the return of Simon (and Cheryl). Simon ends up with two acts in the final sending out a fake message to the public that Simon made the right decision to return.
The winner was a bland male singer with stubble who had an ok voice but nothing remarkable about him. Calum Scott is basically the winner of X Factor 2014 - just younger. They all blend into each other and that's why it's boring imo.
Ben Haenow and Calum Scott will add nothing new to the music industry so why bother? Then they moan because album sales are so poor. As Homer Simpson once said "D'OH!!!".
