Lots of European contestants this year apparently. Looks like it is going the same way as BGT.

Did you not see the girls who literally flew over from the Phillipines last year to do XF UK who ended up coming fifth?

Saara Aalto has actually entered Finland's National Final twice and was robbed twice imo, finishing runner-up both times.

Thanks very much for this. This is why I am putting out the question.
The show has always had foreigners on, an obvious example being Ruth Lorenzo |

Saara Alto who's on tonight also finished second on The Voice in Finland.
Tbh I'm not bothered, if they are great singers and they can share they talent with us why now? I'd rather a talented woman from Finalnd who I love than yet another """cute""" 20 year old with a generic haircut, barely there vocals and a guitar. |

You're right that BGT is now known for having contestants from all over the world come to the UK to audition... and if The X-Factor's going the same way, then I'm all for it. All it means is that Britain is renowned for leading the way when it comes to attracting, identifying and nurturing talent. I love that the UK judges and public can take acts like Attraction into their hearts and reward them for being so talented even though they're from Hungary. Not only does it make me proud to be British, but it reinforces the image of Britain as a hotbed of multicultural talent and ability. This is a truly global country (disastrous Brexit aside).

She has been on more reality tv shows than I have had hot dinners. The idea of the show is to find new talent, and not re-hashed talent from overseas.

There are lots more coming on throughout the auditions. Funny how they struggle to find talent with a population of 60m.

If a majority were non British acts then you might be right, but a mere sprinkling? Seems like an over reaction to be fair.

The idea of the show, really, is to find an act that Simon can make money from. He won't mind where they come from if they're bringing home the cash.

The problem is they are taking the place of what could be talented artists from the UK. If they want to fly in act from here, there and everywhere, then change the name of the show to Euro Factor and have done with it.

It's 2016 and there's still moaning over foreign acts in talent shows? Seriously? This got dull a few days after Attraction won BGT.
It it results in higher standard of acts, then I'm for it. It's called a TV talent show, not a UK national pride show (there are plenty of other places where that would be appropriate). |
