The tenuous link rammed home by the show's announcer (the JEEEEUUDDDGGGEESS!!!!) between the acts success/future chances and the influence of thier "mentors" is surely a joke? What do their mentors do again exactly?? Oh yeah! Choose a song for them to sing - important yes, critical? probably not ,and I would imagine its often a mutual decision anyway as Cowell is probably halfway across the Atlantic before Eggnog has chosen his

The way the judges are introduced at the start like modern day gods with that awful music even has them cringing - thankfully we have an audience full of half wits to whoo and cheer them like their lives depend on it - WHO are these nutters?

I've just read on a Dannii thread somewhere that she's "massive" in clubland - which club? Chasers?
I think Danni's "success" is being a little inflated here lol (not the only thing inflated about her i'd guess)
The reason i object to her being a judge of talent is because as a singer she has NONE. ALL of her "hits" feature her with a very heavily SAMPLED voice and the songs are NOTHING to do with her so in what way is she a recording artist?? seriously for what?? basically she was good at flogging a few records a while back when she used to get half naked in FHM, soon as she lost her looks a bit everything dried up (literally probably). The nose is possibly the most annoying thing on the x-factor.
People may snort at all this and i have no pleasure in writing it all, it just happens to be a true imo.

Cole has gone from being a breath of fresh air to a complete pain in the ass windbag. If she's not professing her love for the Cabbage Patch Kid Eoghan then she's throwing out some ludicrously over the top praise of her acts like she's just seen the second coming of Madonna. Shame, i really liked her after seeing her on Jonny Ross this year, she was gorgeous and funny and now she's just a Cowell puppet - with their "mock" aruments.

And then there's the old men....oh where to start? Cowell is verging on evil, playing on every little heartstring of every contestant (note stark contrast between his words to ricky gervais lookalike when he auditioned and then the way he treated him on the show, pretty despicable) to make his show appeal more regardless of how much he hurts these people. I thnk its that ridiculous smug look he permanently has on his chops that annoys me most as if he's saying "i can't believe the mugs in this country are buying this shit after seven series! but they still are!, lovely"

The mock fighting between him and Louis isn't funny at all anymore just very :yawn: If it's real it's even more boring. Louis , like the other three got very lucky and really isn't in the best position to judge talent is he? Westlife apart the rest of his acts over 25 years have been garbage - beggars belief he's on the show and held in such high regard by the wanabees, it really does. Could someone tell me any way shape or form he's contributed to any x-factor contestant's success after the show has finished?

I only write all this cos judging from what I've read on here (i'm judging now ) then ANY tom , dick or harry could judge, its really no big deal like they'd have us believe.

The judges are only there to influence the voting patterns of viewers by using subtle (and not so subtle) suggestion and manipulation techniques.

It's actually quite hard to do that properly, which is why it's important that they all stick to the pre-planned scripts!

possibly Kyri, would be interesting to see the difference if they weren't there and it was just a host or if it was a different set of judges who joe public and myself might actually have some respect for like Barlow, McCartney etc

Dannii Minogue has released 13 singles, all of which have gone to #1 in the UK Dance Charts which is what people were on about. She has also had 9 top 10 singles, with 1 number 2 and 1 number 3.

whatever mate! she CAN'T sing! It's a smapled voice, probably the most sampled voice in pop music AND the songs she sang were literally nothing to do with her! not her beats, not her lyrics. You cannot argue against this. she did have a talent and her talent was to wear high heels, get a boob job and stand in wind tunnels in the videos.

I like Dannii but all this is indisputable - i spose its fair to say that as a performer and former actress then she has more experience than the vast majority from which to judge but purleaaase don't try and paint her as some kind of musician.

POST OF THE DAY!

I completely agree wiht you OP, more i read your post the more i dislike the overhyped judges!

And by the way loving the Chasers reference! Even Brent couldnt pull in that dive!

Have you ever heard her sing live, she can definitely hold a tune.

What i would REALLY like to see is individual marks out of ten being handed out like on x-factor and then at least we could have a real basis for detemining weather the judges are on the same planet as the rest of us.

The fact that 90% of DS posters seem to totally disagree with the judges over Diana and Eoghan is more than just a little confusing.

I've been thinking long and hard about which judges could replace these four and create a better show - as my girlfriend has just said my post is too critical with no solutions

SO i propose Gary Barlow (been there done that and has talent), Carrie Grant (constructive but not a complete plank like Simon and Louis) and Will Young (people say hes too scared to voice an opinion but i personally don't think he is and would be great.

That's it 3, its all you need, shows too long as it is
