What IS the X Factor?
And no smarties saying, "it's a TV show ......"
![]() What I'm asking is how do you define the X Factor? To me it means something that makes someone stand out in the crowd, but not in a negative way (like a claw lol). There's been comments about Alex saying she can sing but she's a clone, and that JLS are Boyz2Men-a-likes, but what IS the X Factor?

I think it is whatever you make it as, basicly to me it's the whole package, voice, looks, personality, if they are unquie and different e.g Diana, to someone else it might be different to what I said.

Everyone's definition will be different.
For me, it's just that something, that you can't put your finger on. It's something that makes you want to keep watching, and something that makes that person stick in your mind. Last edited by Like A Star : 05-12-2008 at 15:00. Reason: Added something. |

It the thing that makes you different form the crowd. With Leona Lewis it is sheer purity in her voice, with Robbie Williams it is the charisma that he oozes, with John Lydon it was the anger against the establishment.

Likeability. If the public don't like you, you don't sell records. Very few X-Factor finalists have it. |

The X Factor is something we don't see in the mainstream right now. Something that is different or an amalgamation of other things.
At present the only two people who come close to that in the competition are Diana because as many have stated all her styles are a collection of very different genres and styles. She is a fusion of many different musical techniques that span back almost 50 years. The other is Eoghan who is a fresh talent but they should have moulded him more during the live shows. The other two are a boy band and an RnB singer. At present the best new RnB artist is Estelle and there is no one who will beat her. In terms of boybands, I don't think anybody is interested. |

constestants on the xfactor dont have it, i dont believe manufactured bands, groups singers have it either, i believe the real x factor comes in the form of people who work their way up from the bottom to the top, not just answer an advert in paper and get thrust in at the top or fill out an application form to wail for 2 mins infront of 4 "experts".

Well, as Cowell decides what it is, I'd guess it is the ability to sell records and be a successful popstar. For me, it's not a tick box approach, you either have it or you don't. A great winner (Leona) might not dance and may not be smokin' sexy like Britney in her early days, but she still has The X Factor.

Cheers guys ... some great answers especially, and in no particular order pmsl, Like A Star, xTonix, tenchgirl and C14E.
Sorry Beer, but you don't get my vote at all. I know you've worked on 5 platinum albums, but ... I suppose one persons X Factor isn't necessarily anothers. |
