I reckon this crappy programme has contributed greatly to the loss of good singers/musicians, who charted before this dirge even began, very few of the newer bands/singers seem to last these days, cos of crap like this trying to find new talent.

To me it's a glorified karaoke show. If any of the people were any good they would have been discovered a long time ago.

Look at bands like Status Quo they're been around for decades and they did all the usual gigging in sawdust pubs and social clubs.

Even Suebo did that pubs and social clubs before she entered BGT. She has been very successful off the back of that.

The problem is most of the people are on there just to be famous that's all it is. Bet none if those do the pubs and club circuit they basically want the fame and fortune without working for it.

Sorry heth,but i was a great singer...............until "Tunes" were invented. so i would probably win X-Factor.

Woo-hoo.

Will definitely watch next week, rather than just have it on in the background, whilst doing something else.

My lovely Rebecca Ferguson is apparently appearing on next weekend's results show.

I completely agree, I think the X Factor has definitely had it's day, it's time for it to go. It's offensive to the general public's intelligence in its present format.
I've been thinking about this business with Frankie being kicked off, I'm sure it's all engineered but on the off chance it's genuine, perhaps Mr Cowell and the owners of the show should take some responsibility, I'm sure they should have a duty of care towards the contestants to keep them safe whilst they're controlling their lives throughout the duration of the competition and making a vast amount of money out of them? Just a thought....

It's taken a while but at last you've twigged on.

Sorry folks, but for me it should never have been aired, I think you'll find it's caused more problems & anguish than it has benefited anybody. How many Hopefuls have been publicly embarrassed & humiliated because their family & supposed friends have given them delusions & pumped up their egos by bolstering their mediocre "talent" into something it's not.

Fame, fortune & the good life, have to be (in most cases) hard earned & you take your kickings along the way, sorry but that's life. As you can surmise I'm not a fan of such alleged "entertainment".

Excuse me.

One Hyndburn family have been kept in cakes for over four years, off the back of the X-Factor. Thank you very much.

Besides, we had to endure a series of Man O Man.

After it was exported over from Germany, as the best of Germanic light entertainment.

So we aren't listening.



(Yes, it is catchy. It's my next year's audition piece.)

Wow -never heard her before - what a voice. Don't see X-factor obviously but i presume she is NOT a contestant...

Just off to have a quick Google about her...

[mobertol]

Well -something good has come out of the X-factor then - and a Liverpudlian to boot.
If she was second who won it last year? (Excuse my ignorance on these matters...!)

Mate, I don't watch it & I live here ! Think its part of Merkozys masterplan to dominate Europe by turning people into mindless drones with their brains dribbling out their lugs due to the mind numbing pap being churned out with subversive unnoticed under tones. (Europe good, independent Island monkey Nation bad)

All part of zer werld domination as she sits there stroking her pussy.









(Like all the Villains who want to conquer the World just par for the course, evil minions check, Psychotic sidekick check, Despicable plan for world domination check, Pussy or some other pet to stroke while condemning the hero to a gruesome end check )

I really rate her.

She could be world-renowed, if given the right material.

Check her out on YouTube.
