I didnt watch tonights, but i watched last weeks.
I do question the amount of bad singers though.
1) surel y they know they cant sing
2) i think most are plants for "entertainment"
3) there are auditions before seeing the judges. If the bad ones are not plants, why send them to further auditions where they will be laughed at and ridiculed on national tv? Its cruel, and for this reaason, imuch prefer the voice.
I completely disagree, I mean some of the people are rubbish, but thats what the show is about, the show as a whole is supposed to be entertaining, and they need the jokey/novelty acts to do that.
I think allot of those people are delusional enough to think their good, they choose to go on the show, when really their family should stop them, but for some reason their back stage rooting them on - their all hoping their so crappy they can be the next Jedward.
I think the show has been on so long that people are complaining about novelty acts, then the Voice came on and it was all about talent, and past the swivel chairs it was soooooo boring. I thought that for a long time before the Voice started then that came on TV and it seemed like a majority of people realised they need the novelty acts to make the show good, like didn't the Voice loose like half it's audience, I stopped watching 2 live shows in, without their spinning chairs the show was really bad, stupidly encouraging and everyone was very vanilla, imo.
I don't view the X-Factor as a show to make actual real artists, I view it more as a TV show centred around music, Like I've never bought an X-Factor singers album, don't think I would, but love the show.
