cheryl got a lot of stick for not picking gamu (who I found good but a little bit boring) but Louis doesn't get any for picking Wagner over Alecia? (sp). Shock.

X Factor is not and never has been about the best singers.

It's a light entertainment show. if you just had 12 really good but quite dull singers nobody would watch it

It's all about ratings and ad revenue - which is why every series will have: a joke act, a hugely controversial entry, a bitch, a fauxmance, a sob story.

The only ones I can say I like and are worthy of their places there are Matt, Mary and Aiden, maybe Treyc but I'm not sold on her yet.

Massively disappointed with this years show, seems to be more about how young and 'current' somebody is rather than how much actual talent they have. Thank God it isn't on next year, maybe it'll come back in 2012 with a bit of old school X Factor thrown back into the mix!

It isn't on next year

Coo, it did go on a bit though, didn't it? I'm not sure I've got the stamina if the shows are all going to be that long.

Also, what's with the 'wildcard' thing. Why didn't they just choose 4 in the first place?

midnightexpress · 10/10/2010 14:01

Sorry, that was supposed to be a question:

It isn't on next year?

alittlebitshy · 10/10/2010 14:02

eh? why not on next year?

pointydog · 10/10/2010 14:04

AGree with nancy.

It's also about building the personality brands and the careers of the judges.

SheWillBeLoved · 10/10/2010 14:29

It's not on next year as they're concentrating on the American version, but it'll be back in 2012 'different and better than before' Hmm well, that's the last I hear any way from my gossip mags sources Grin
