    X factor - serious question

    Okay, not that serious...

    Was I the only one that cried when that girl with the flower in her hair got through?

    I cried when the missus switched on the telly and said: "Do you know, I have never watched an entire series of the The X Factor from start to finish."

    Sounded like a worrying statement of intent to me.

    She sounded odd to me though, a bit like Auto-Tune as did a few others.

    BTW, made to watch it my Mrs Murgie ;)

    I used to enjoy the audition part of the programme when it was just in a small room with the singer and the judges and then turned off once the boot camp and live shows started.

    Now, its just highly polished over produced saccharine crap. You know when the cameras are going to go to close up of Simon just about to wink or grin, or Cheryl put her hand to her eye as though shes about to show some emotion. The sad music starts etc.

    just give me a bucket and a decent 4/5 piece guitar band any day of the week...... or even Katy Perry for that matter.

    Am I alone in thinking that we would all be a lot better off if everybody involved in any of these dire "make me an instant celebrity me! me! me!" tv shows for the slobbering masses were made to stand against a wall and machine-gunned?
    Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.

    You don't really need to stand them against a wall, a drive-by at the queue for an audition will save a lot of time and organisational effort.

    I am glad its back on because although I don't love it my daughter does. Its one of the few programs we sit together and watch on the big telly together and we make a point of watching it together each week.

    I know its cheese but its decent cheese

    I've heard of this programme, but never seen it. I'm watching ITV now (getting ready for James Bond) and there's a trailer for it - it looks terrible and far from entertaining (a talent show full of people with no talent?); if we're going to be rounding up and shooting people, can we extend this to the audience as well?

    I cry at the beginning of 'The Italian Job' when the mafia make the Miura crash into a bulldozer, and then push the DB5 and the two E-Types off the road and into the gorge.

    Sickening, they were finding parts of them in the gorge for decades :|

    This missus put it on again tonight, along with The X-tra Factor (though the two might have been the same for all I know).

    I was in bits. :lol:
