At last some good news

I want the x factor to be global next year...
Maybe under big tv station in US... with audition in different countries and and voting only available to those countries broadcasting the show.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed this happens & Cowell doesn't get his claws into whichever show takes it's place.
A media & music industry devoid of Cowell would be a step in the right direction.

Love the bit about how axing louis was a mistake 
. It totally was because he didn't take it seriously.

For somebody who "hates" the show, you never seem to leave this forum. Get a life and stop trolling.
This is the only forum where the users seem to HATE the subject matter, its so odd. Wish we were more like the SCD forum tbh.
I'm yet to be convinced that ITV will make The Voice successful under their control.
If X Factor is struggling, then I really don't see how an ITV operated The Voice is going to succeed in its place.
Besides, ITV renewed the X Factor contract in 2013 for another 3 years so there will definitely be another series next year.
EDIT; I swear the below post isn't referring to me.

Haven't seen the SCD forum but I think people in general on Digital Spy are miserable and negative as seen above..

I've never missed an episode of The X Factor since the very beginning and am a massive fan, BUT I can't stand it this year and I think something like this needed to happen.
Simon is so out of touch, and don't get me started on Princess Cheryl and Grimmy. They meddle too much, have hired awful presenters and binned Louis (which I won't forgive, as he basically IS the show).

have you ever thought the people making these negative comments are people who liked the show for what it used to be but dont like what it has turned into
people who liked when it focussed on the acts, was fun and was more about the music, rather than the contrived drama filled reality show it has become
turning a blind eye to all the faults the show has and trying to tell everyone how wonderful it is does no-one any favours tbh

I haven't really been watching it to be honest - I watched the first audition show (and realised what a mess it was), then the six seat challenges (always entertaining), five minutes of the awful live Judges' house and now I skim through the live shows. I watch the results because they're always enjoyable watching the acts get thrown out according to Simon's flavour of the week. So I do have better things to do, but if it's on - I'll watch. And laugh.

No. It never was about this. Since the very early days X Factor has been about the drama. Series 7 it's most popular series was probably the most controversial and dramatic. It may have deteriorated in quality but if you don't like a TV programme, don't watch it and don't spend your free time commenting on it.

please dont tell me what i should watch and what i am allowed to comment on
if you dont like my comments put me on ignore
i'll continue to watch the show and laugh at it , but i am not gonna sit with my head buried in the sand and pretend everything is wonderful when it clearly isn't
the fact the show has lost 20% of its viewers in the last year says everything and i hope the people who make the show realise this as i actually want the show to improve because if it doesn't none of us will have the option to watch it as it wont be on the air
I don't uderstand why certain people spend some much time posting about XFactor on this forum when they don't even like the program ?

you know what i dont understand is people who clearly think there are no problems with the show and that it doesn't deserve criticism from people who are actually fans of the show and have been loyal viewers of the show for years

Yes because someone who refers to the show being cancelled as "good news" is clearly a fan?

Pretty much this.
Shayne Ward won in 2005 and was easily the biggest artist from that series. Leona Lewis won in 2006 and set the standard for X Factor winners by becoming such a huge artist on a global scale.
2007 was just a mess.
Alexandra Burke won in 2008 and initially did really well before JLS stole her thunder, but at the time it seemed like a fluke. Prior to 2008, no runner up had successfully ended up being more successful than the winner in both the singles and album chart (yes, G4 and Rhydian were arguably more successful than Steve Brookstein and Leon Jackson but only in the album charts).
From 2009 onwards, this is when the show started to collapse. The introduction of the novelty act (Jedward), the deluded comments from Simon Cowell after a seriously bad performance (Danyl's butchering of I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing) and Joe McElderry being turned into Mika after winning the show.
From 2009 onwards it was no longer about winning. It was just a launchpad for certain contestants to create a public profile and then use X Factor to kickstart their career. Step forward Olly Murs (who I honestly don't think was even a contender to win X Factor at least up until the semi final).
2010 had One Direction. 2012 had Ella Henderson. 2014 had Fleur East.
2011 was the last time I'd say the winning act was the right choice, as Little Mix have proved, especially when you consider their third album looks set to be their biggest selling to date. Many pop acts struggle with the second album, and it's diminishing returns thereafter yet Little Mix have certainly bucked that trend.
Still not sure who the star of 2013 was, even though I personally thought it was a better series compared to the horror that was 2012.
If X Factor went back to basics. Went back to 2006. It's probably be back to being popular again, and back to being successful again.

in its current format putting it out of its misery might be the best thing before it becomes any more of a laughing stock that it already is

iI never said you were a hater?? Im saying if this series is so bad then dont watch it?? if tou were a fan before then so what? its incredibly sad to see the same posters bleat on about how bad the show is...
X Factor is still relevant today. Fleur has had a top 3 hit and Lauren from this year is hust outside the top 10 with her performance. Ratings may be down but X Factor hasnt lost all relevancy.

If "Cowell" (his name's Simon by the way) disgusts you so much then LEAVE THIS FORUM! Why is that so hard to understand for some people.
I hate SCD, BB and the Voice and would never spend my time going into threads and commenting on it, spoiling fun for people who do enjoy them. And by the sounds of things you were never a fan, so don't give me any of that.
