OK...so i sound like an old whining bloke - maybe i am, but i think i share this opinion with many - a pure hatred for "X-factor".
I think the thing that gets me is not the fact that the 'Talent' has gone down, or that too many people are now deliberately doing rubbish acts so that they get fame for nothing ("DJ Talent", etc..etc...), but the fact that the "Judges" hold SO much power over the general public.
Now, sure...the 'Judges' have experience etc...but the thing is, its the fact that whatever they say, THATS what the public then believe about life. So i guess that my hate of the XFactor show isn't necessarily about the 'Talent' but rather that these 'judges' get to play god about things.
The bottom line is, "Who cares wot you think!"
I thought that the original concept was quite good - rebel against the Industry....let the public have their say...find an 'everyday' hero.
But actually, i realise that the 'Industry' now use the Xfactor as their puppet.
Man...cynical or what? I just want the public to start making up their own mind and do their own searching, rather than waiting to be spoonfed this 'who knows what' from "experts".
Really...who cares. Talent is thin on the ground - its only a matter of time till it gets axed.
I hope.
You niave fool.
ReplyDeleteDid you ever think that it was anything more than a cash harvest from day 1.
We are at the mercy of the editors and they play us like fools.
However, I love the oportunity to rant at the telly and shout cutting whitty comments at the judges.
For example every time Danny M is shown shout "who is she". A fair question, is it not?
Other than that do your blog more, rant more and comment on my blog.

I am conflicted as I do agree, but I am sitting here watching it (and issuing mocking comments)..
