Re: X Factor

I love the X factor, it's great for a good laugh. The winners at the end of it in my opinion do not have much talent to go any further with a career in singing.

Re: X Factor

Never really watched it. Managed to see about 10 minutes of it round at Grego's last night before the meet up and it was pure drivel. Full of non-talented people who are way to ugly to be on TV. One of the hopefuls could have eaten an apple through a barbed wire fence she had such bucked teeth and don't get me started on the lass with the brillo pad hair. I don't really care what people look like if they have talent, but this lot sadly did not....

Re: X Factor

Joss Stone was discovered on a BBC kids talent show, and has gone on to have a pretty credible world wide career.

Will Young too, is still recording, and I like him so that's all that matters.

Re: X Factor

I know that a lot of talent was discovered on programmes such as New Faces and Opportunity Knocks, but at least to get onto the show in the first place the contenders had to display some kind of talent. These auditions that they show for X Factor have all and sundry turning up talentless just because they want to be on the telly.

Of course being an avid people watcher it gives me something to bitch about....

Re: X Factor

I hadn't watched any of X factor until this series ......... it's just funny and not to be taken seriously ...... even the judges don't take it seriously and end up turning up hours late because they've been at an Elton John party til the small hours!


Simon Cowell is such an arrogant wan ....... man , sometimes I think I'm only watching it to see if someone pastes the living day lights out of him !! It will come one day!!

Just for the record (scuse the pun) I think Steve Brookstein has a gorgeous voice and loved his cover of Against All Odds

Re: X Factor

I think its ok for a laugh, this is the first time I've seen it as well, most of the people auditioning have no talent though, but I suppose thats what makes the programme watchable.
