have just been watching X factor on tv and is it just me or is anybody else embarassed (if not highly amused) by the amount of people in this country who are completely dissillusioned in their own abilities or talent??
i actually cringe and feel physically embarrased for them, especially the ones who just cannot seem to accept that they have no future in a cut throat industry that is saturated with astetically pleasing and perfectly proportioned pop - robots. rolleyes
it is funny though, i would love to meet some of them at my locals karaoke night.....
any favourite performances so far??
ours was the pakistani "kylie" who "is the face and figure of pop, ive got it all really", genius, pure genius lol
i have to say i do not like such programms as this, big brother etc they do my head in and are totally crap but saying that i do like to watch just the begging of the music ones and hear all the crap singers i have had some great laughs, i think they just do a programm where they just do that bit cause its boring after
right with you on that one NN it would be a comedy indeed to see all the bad ones on the show in one programme.
The old woman with the shopping trolley and the womky eye had me in stitches tonight, and the guy who had brought john lennons voice back from the dead into a CD ghetto bladter, haha he was bloody loon

Gotta agree wih NN on this one.......these progs are so 'Look at meeeeeeeee' they are so cringe-worthy that they do do not deserve air-time..........total crap
thats me done lol
What was last years X factor all about that Steve dissapeared after a few weeks,
total waste of time.
Totally hate all these reality shows myself really with the exeption of
Im a celebrity jungle thingy and celeb love island.
Who didnt like love island wink
Thought it was a laugh a minute watching Paul make a prat of himself chasing after evey woman in there
he did make a special celebriity guest appearance tonight, must have been a nightmare for him to rearrange his hectic schedule, what with opening corner shops and doing 21st birthday parties and such like wink
i lot of them just go in hope to get them selfs on the tv............ why i have no idear i spend most of me life avoideing it!
One of the wannabees on this series, is the mother of a child in the school where I work. OMG she'll be sooooo embarrassed if she's on the out-takes!
I don't have to watch it to spot her, I'm sure someone else from school will record them all so they get whichever programme she's on.
What's the X factor? That's a rhetorical question.

My thoughts exactly NN - can't stand Big Brother and stuff like that. Absolutely love X factor and Pop Idol, etc, though.
I missed it tonight, was out having a Balti in Lye with a friend.
bolt Going to watch it on ITV2 now
I actually watch X-factor with the sound on mute and subtitles on..... before you ask, there is a method to the madness...
The one thing that makes me cringe on x-factor are the people who can't sing, so if you put on the subtitles on... they give people a warning...(normally something like "out of tune" before the words come across the screen)
So warning up... mute goes on...watch everyone slaughter them....
no warning.... i can happily listen knowing my ears are not going to be assulted...

I'm obviously in the minority here, but I think X Factor is brill........ but only the first round when all the idiots are on.... I only watch it to make me feel sane lol :lol: :lol: :lol:
Oh, the woman who kept ringing up was soooooo funny :lol: :lol: :lol:

Oh that's hilarious!!! I wonder if the nice typing people at '888' ever get a bit bitchy and vindictive and start typing 'caterwauling' or 'imagine nails down a blackboard and you'll be close...' :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
I love X factor, have got a weird crush on Simon Cowell. I know it can't possibly be healthy cos I'm sure it's the combination of arrogance and insecurity that lures me in... but oooh what I'd do if I got hold of that man! wink

We once fell about laughing at the subtitles on Blazing Saddles "farting noise continues"
for the beans scene.

why do we have programmes like the x factor when we have the top 40 every sunday thats full of tuneless talentless idiots that cant sing dunno .surely we dont need more rubbish singers getting a number one record with yet another cover version of someone s classic song that is ripped to bits by these so called talented my licence fee is not enough for me to get quality programmes on tv or am i the only one who hates thes wannabe pop star programmes mad
I love in the early stages its so funny. but after the initial stages I don't bother
Personaly I think that these reallity TV shows are the modern version of Bedlam. I think it is very very sad. Shows that as a nation we are in serious decline
A lot of people are moaning about "Why do we need programmes like x factor?" or the state of so called reality shows in general.
Unfortunately, the format is nothing new.. the gong show, new face's and opportunity knocks are some from years ago that were doing basically what x factor does now.. People are always gonna want to show off, or think they have a talent and TV for the last 40 years or so has provided an outlet for them through programmes like the ones mentioned above.. The x-factor is just the latest, popular version of the tied and tested talent show.. Plus as a nation, the brits have always seemed to love watching people embarrass themselves. We either pity or poke fun at them, but we do love to watch it..
Also, why do you think karaoke is so popular.. Almost every pub in the UK now has a karaoke night. Its because people love to show off, and the rest of us want to watch them either entertain us, or make a fool of themselves. Good or bad, karaoke is an outlet for that..
(phew.. think I got out of the serios side of bed this morning...)
Exactly wolvie... we dont watch it to see the good ones (tho occoasionally we are plesently supprised) we watch it for the freaks, no hopers, and total idiots... with a little ry thought to ourselves "god they are nutts" while secretly wondering if (or worse thinking) we would be better, lol.
The little shy lad who was all nervious and talked in a high squeeky voice... then sang almost as good as good pro... if he doesnt do well on x-factor then I do hope he manages to get formal voice training as I think he has potential as a real singer if not as a "pop star"
I "did" watch big brother... but lets face it... now its just lets get the biggest misfits and most socialy inept twats together who know its about money and will do anything including fucking or taking a bottle up the pussy to win...
The jungle thing was ok the first time.. but once was enough... its b-lists getting a little revival so they can get a show on sky.
The farm was interesting... especially the fact they had 2 porn stars on it, lol, but there was no sex and fucking... so i think i'll give it a miss next time, lmao, but I still feel sorry that that bird that fucked becham got so slated for waking the pig... its what happens on a farm... its not her fault that she did it before the program so she could get on the program ;-)
so it seems like us people actually love the early bits when all the loons who cant sing embarass themselves and us, and hate the later wannabe stages when all the self obsessed ones are on.
case closed.
did love the young black guy who looked spookily like a young micheal jackson though, he was a cheeky looking chap.
