Desi came in from work tonight and said she'd been watching it and wanted to see the end of the programme. She put it on and I was astounded to hear such tuneless wailing from these so-called future stars.
The problem I find with all of them is that they have all studied their Mariah Carey's Greatest Hits albums and have convinced themselves that endless caterwauling is what passes for singing. Each and every one of them oversings whatever song they attempt.
Sometimes, less is more. Listen to Art Garfunkel sing Bridge Over Troubled Water and hear arguably the best pop vocal performance of all time. He wouldn't get past the audition stage on Simon Bowel's ego-trip because he doesn't stretch a simple word like 'love' to 17 syllables.
Never seen any of it. ave occasionally heard songs I was aware were from it, and even thought one or two of those weren't as terrible as I expected.
Still didn't like them, though. Can't see the point in the whole thing - surely if the singers were any good they wouldn't need to win the modern day opportunity knocks in order to have a viable career?
its shite and so are all the similar programmes
I think Blue you should check her record sales.
Also I believe that she has the potential to be bigger, as I think she has a better voice than a lot of the other Divas, than many of the other female superstars.
Time will tell how big she will become, but she is already a massive star.

i love it :happy: cant say why but certainly find the auditions entertaining, was chuffed that pubs were showing it on the big screens in Turkey so i didnt miss any on my hols, would rather watch x factor than a load of men kicking a bag of air around ;)
Below article from MSN. I was actually thinking a similar thought a week or so ago. Guess if its possible to outsell the Xfactor winner to number one in the charts then the below is also possible :twisted:
Luckily when I was last abroad the big screens showed both :twisted:
