Reviews

Paul Evans This series (2015) has shown that the X Factor has run its course, that the death knell has rung for Mr Cowell and co. and that it's time to end this misery. The nose dive in viewing figures has shown that people feel the same, it's been done to death and enough's enough.I'm not saying that there aren't great singers on the show, but it's not about them, it's about the egos of Mr Cowell and co. What gives Cheryl the right to comment on people's singing abilities when she's mimed more times then Marcel Marceau.The crying, grizzling, sob stories, 'it's my dream' thing ruins the show, they didn't have it on the U.S. series, what is the point, is it a singing competition?Plaudits for giving us Leona Lewis, the one saving grace of the show, but otherwise I'm one of the millions that have switched off. Please end it and give us a good drama on a Saturday night!! 1/10
Ghostsammeo I only started watching Xfactor last year, and then mostly only the auditions. This year (2010 Xfactor) was different.I was like all the other haters out there, believing it to be some stupid money-making scheme by Simon Cowell which shames terrible singers then praises slightly better singers. This year I found myself mistaken. The auditions are still the same, it's just the audience laughing at bad performances (don't get me wrong I'm not saying it's bad to laugh at some freaky old lady screaming down the microphone) but this time, when it came to the live shows, I actually liked the contenders. Not only could they sing well like I believed no-one really could on the Xfactor, most seemed to have nice personalities, only shown further on back-stage shows like Xtra factor. You can choose your favourites which would for me be the good singers with good personalities, and then choose your most hated. (Some one you just don't like the look of or a bad singer, it's your choice) and then from then it's listening to them sing and hoping your favourite stays in. It can get tedious and boring at times, I often left half-way through once my favourite act had performed, but it's much better than I expected. It may just be this year, maybe next year it'll be packed-full with boring generic singers. Either way I know I'll have to check it out at least.
Jackson Booth-Millard We had seen Popstars (The Rivals) and Pop Idol, we thought that could be enough, but no, there was another one. The only thing that's close to all of them is the involvement of National Television Award nominated Simon Cowell. With him are Westlife's manager, Louis Walsh and Ozzy Osbourne's manager and wife, National Television Award winning Sharon Osbourne. When I started watching the actual show, it was really good. The contestants worked really hard, and the one's that didn't put in enough effort eventually left. The best singers are always left to last, and it becomes really hard to choose the winner. But personally, it's the auditions that are the highlight. Some become really successful and deserve to go through, but the best ones are the bad ones. So far the show has had winners Steve Brookstein, Shayne Ward and Leona Lewis, but other acts that were discovered have become successful as well, such as G4, Journey South, Maria Lawson, Brenda Edwards, Andy Abraham and Chico. It won the National Television Award for Most Popular Entertainment Programme. Simon Cowell number 33 on The 100 Worst Britons (for being mean), he was number 67 on The 100 Greatest Sex Symbols, and he was number 28 on TV's 50 Greatest Stars, the programme was number 14 on The 100 Greatest Funny Moments for Robert Unwin singing The Bee Gees' Tragedy and then Aqua's Barbie Girl, and it was number 19 on The 100 Greatest TV Treats 2004. Very good!
Theo Robertson ... Screamed Roberto Duran as he walked out of his legendary bout with Sugar Ray Leonard . After seeing the first three editions of THE X FACTOR I also have to scream " NO MORE . NO MORE " and walk away from this TV concept that is doing my brain no good . Call it what you want but it's just FLOP IDOL under a different name And after seeing POP IDOL , American IDOL , POP STARS THE RIVALS etc we know what to expect by now . The trailers revolve around Simon Cowell being interviewed : " I think we'll be seeing some outstanding talent "Cut to some loser making a fool of themselves" I doubt if we'll see one bad singer " Cut to bad singer YAWN In order to make a fast buck the criteria has changed . Instead of singers aged 18 to 26 the entry criteria for auditions are for singers aged 18 to 24 , 25 plus , and groups . There's also a ridiculous judge in the shape of Sharon Osbourne . Forgive me for asking but is she actually a big name in music management ? I know she manages her husband ( Obviously very badly ) who's only claim to fame is that he's one of the very few rock superstars from the 1970s to be still breathing and without a criminal conviction for downloading child porn . I also find Sharon's use of the word " fabulous " very irritating . " Oh you look fabulous darling . Darling what a fabulous voice you have . Fabulous , fabulous , fabulous " You'd have thought being married to Ozzy for all these years she'd happily believe Professor Stephen Hawking has a fabulous voice . Is she the best judge the producers could find ? What's really irritating me about this show is that there's not enough emphasis on the deluded idiots who insist on turning up to make an idiot of themselves . There has been glimpses though not enough for my liking and it wasn't until the third episode we had a couple of classics . One was a male Princess Diana lookalike who informed the panel that he was 144 years old while another came in dressed up as Guy Fawkes and did a rap number and tried to give the judges a copy of his video which they refused because both the video and the singer stank . No I don't mean his singing was awful ( It was ) but because the Guy Fawkes lookalike had terrible B.O Maybe it was wrong of me to comment on this show long before it has finished its run , but I am getting very fed up with this annual contest which only exists to make revenue for advertisers and a fast buck for Cowell's record label . Last year's POP IDOL was won by Michelle McManus who was a body even more unattractive than Mick McManus the wrestler and who has failed to shift records in any large numbers and hopefully the winner of THE X FACTOR will go on to even smaller things . Does the country that gave the world The Beatles really need these talent shows ? No mas please
