Honestly it's depressing to compare. Not only the talent, but the effort all of these put on their performances, bar maybe Janet who was a bit lazy, but still MILES above Emily.
Then we had Misha, Amelia, Marcus and Little Mix all super dedicated, dancing and singing week after week. Actually I think that season is very underrated. We had a great mixed bunch. |

Amelia, Misha, and Janet would wipe the floor with this lineup, or most of them anyway.

No loud backing tracks etc like nowadays , the act generally had to be able to sing Watched a clip of Amelia the other week from this series the performance would wipe the floor with any from this series yet Barlow and co managed some kind of constructive criticism . Yet it would be termed world class by today's low level judging |

Why does a singer have to dance? Can't they just sing? The only name listed above who I would agree with is little mix. The others were over hyped by the producers.

Lets see who we were left with in the final 5 of each series to compare:
2004: Steve Brookstein, G4, Tabby Callaghan, Rowetta Satchell and Cassie Compton 2005: Shayne Ward, Andy Abraham, Journey South, Brenda Edwards, Chico 2006: Leona Lewis, Ray Quinn, Ben Mills, The MacDonald Brothers, Eton Road 2007: Leon Jackson, Rhydian Roberts, Same Difference, Niki Evans, Hope 2008: Alexandra Burke, JLS, Eoghan Quigg, Diana Vickers, Ruth Lorenzo 2009: Joe McElderry, Olly Murs, Stacey Solomon, Danyl Johnson, Lloyd Daniels 2010: Matt Cardle, Rebecca Ferguson, One Direction, Cher Lloyd, Mary Byrne 2011: Little Mix, Marcus Collins, Amelia Lily, Misha B, Janet Devlin 2012: James Arthur, Jahmene Douglas, Christopher Maloney, Union J, Rylan Clark 2013: Sam Bailey, Nicholas McDonald, Luke Friend, Rough Copy, Tamera Foster 2014: Ben Haenow, Fleur East, Andrea Faustini, Lauren Platt, Stereo Kicks 2015: Louisa Johnson, Reggie n Bollie, Che Chesterman, Lauren Murray, 4th Impact Personally I think 2011 is the stronger final 5, followed by 2008. This years is really poor but so was 2012 so I'm not sure which I'd say is worse to be honest. |

Well they can just sing but nowadays contestants usually do neither. Misha, Marcus and Amelia sang very well, despite the former's tone not being liked by everyone. Undeniable that she put on a great show. Also in the end of the day it is The X Factor, not The Voice, which is also why this one actually produced some stars whilst the other never really did (even in the US where it's huge).

This years is really poor but so was 2012 so I'm not sure which I'd say is worse to be honest. 2016: Matt Terry, 5AM, Honey G, Emily Middlemas, Saara Alto Well Union J wipes the floor vocally with 5AM by that main singer alone. Jahmene was great vocally as well, James was very good despite not liking the persona. Christopher was a pain in the ass but could sing too. And, well, it is really depressing to say this but Rylan was much better than Honey G. So it seems very easy to me... Haha. Saara is the only highlight, with Matt being good too but we have a boring talented one like him every year. |

Marcus - bland but somehow was a producers favourite. Amelia - Shouted through most things. I would concede the point if the selection cited wasn't so - well - selective! Why those examples? |

2008 was the best year, and I think 2010, 2011 and even 2014 were pretty good too. Other seasons have really good acts as well, but there's at least one or two duds in the Top 5 (example: Rylan in 2012, Reggie n' Bolie in 2015, Lloyd in 2009...)

Ok, so can someone please enlighten me. I checked 6 videos of Amelia Lily to see about the dancing performances, but this is the best I got:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUxy6vzzfc0 or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdDxRvF6gH4 She basically just stands there, walks to one side and walks back. There's hardly any show. Am I missing something, or is there just a big nostalgia value on these past performers? If there are good videos of the other contestants having a good stage show, I wouldn't mind getting links to them. I want to see what's behind all these comparisons, as many of them don't really seem overly amazing when you actually check the videos. Maybe I'm biased, but so far I haven't really seen anything from the good vocalists matching any of these from Saara (some not so serious acts have focused on the stage shows as that's the only thing carrying them): Bad Romance - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zpFxOosHH0 Oh So Quet - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3B4RDII3tQ No More Tears - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_k58eUpNOg I could post some of the others too, but the point is clear. Those performances have actual content in them from the act itself other than singing. More than a twirl next to the mike stand. |

Misha or Bisha B as she liked to call herself for no apparent reason, was dragged to the last 5 by the 'Judges'

The public had no interest in Misha B after bullying-gate. The judges refused to acknowledge this, so they kept her in at all costs.
