No strangely enough i would rather castrate myself with a blunt spoon than watch it. As chris said you can in to the pub and see people just as good and at least get a pint as well.
If these people were really that good then they would have been signed before. In my opinion it cheapens the industry as lets face it they will get an xmas no one then drop of the face of the earth never to be remembered .
Other proper artists must be annoyed that these little **** ants come in and get a number one not from their talkent but from all the 13 year olds who watch this cack who then buy their song.
I would have a bit of respect for them if they at least stood up and said look i know i am a one hit wonder but i am only here for the money and my 5 min of fame. Rather than giving the bull that its all they have ever wanted to do. Same for simon how can he sit there and say with a straight face he thinks if has found the best thing since sliced bread year on year . Just say i do it to get even richer.

The odd thing is, my other half went to the pub last night. He said he was popping to the Brown Cow, which is quiet and sells god beer, but instead he went in the Horse and Jockey that has p!$$ poor karaoke singers and really terrible beer..WTF, he may as well have stayed at home and heard some singing that didn't sound like nails being scratched down a blackboard.

Everyone knows that the X Factor is the industries way of making money out of some nobody and fully exploiting them, and moulding them into mainstream cack, eventually heading into oblivion with 'who was that again' from the public. It makes TV stations ratings soar, and the masses swarm into watch cause none of us can afford to sit in the pub on a Saturday night, oh and isin't it really odd hoe the final is always around Xmas, just in time for them to bring out a 'xmas single'??

I can sit in one of my locals and watch some of the best live jazz, blues, rock bands you folks will probably never get to witness, unfortunatly these folks will never get the chance to go big, and stay on the pub circuit forever and a day...shame, big shame, unless some seedy talent scout finds em.

I have a little knowledge of how this stuff works, as years ago I used to go out with a well known guitarist in a certain genres circle, also I went out went out with an AR guy from a certain genre record label, so to me I know how things work, what happens behind the scenes ,,,dedication to the cause, the lengthy nights in recording studios...blah blah blah


Oh also everybody is always searching for their 15 minutes of fame

Not necessarily - how are they supposed to get seen? X factor is just another (very public) showcase. Talent shows are nothing new - do you remember Opportunity Knocks and New Faces? Plenty of successful acts came from those.

These people are the pub/club/amateur/sing in the shower acts who were brave enough to put themselves out there to get seen somewhere - it doesnt come to them they have to go and seek it and X factor is just an audition process with bells and whistles. Otherwise they will just carry on being talented in the pub/club/shower etc.

There's plenty of musicians out there happy to just play/sing for the enjoyment of it, and others who seek more from it.
