X Factor ,,,,,,Cant take it seriously anymore

[NooBHA]

First one this series I have had to watch. Normally bugger off and read a book or play the X-Box when the wife and kids are watching it but last night, sadly, I was trapped on the sofa due to knee pain that stopped me moving.

I haven't had such a good laugh in ages to be fair as my nine year old echos the OP on this thread, as does my half-pissed mate on his Facebook page while my wife wears a "told you so" expression and I plead with someone, anyone, to please fetch me more gin and a pair of earplugs.

The two in question will stay in the live finals for quite a while as Cowell feigns mock horror every week while his ratings and profits go through the roof through massive thickos voting for them to wind Cowell up (note, it doesn't, literally the only two things he cares about are money and fame). They'll eventually go out to a "proper" singer with about three rounds left and will end up presenting a Euro Pop show on whatever the third string channel of MTV is called these days, with Cowell and Walsh taking 10% each of their wages.

Dear God I hope someone can fix my knee, or at least find me more gin.

Louis Walsh has made millions out of Jedward and with their popularity fading now he needs a new ''cash cow'' to take their place

I don't UNDERSTAND why people ALWAYS say it is only THICKOS, WEIRDOS or DIM people who phone up and VOTE or TEXT. I VOTE on every show for MY favourite and SOMETIMES I even vote TWICE if I am UNDECIDED

Ernest - You are tempting fate of a response from some people

I totally get it that everyone is different and being gay is no issue whatsoever.

The part I don't understand is going into the shop selling that outfit - trying it on and then saying ''yes I'll take it'' - Surely the shop assistant doesn't say ''it looks great on you'' ?

I'm ashamed to say I know it was handmade.

If you've never seen it....watch ' AbLisa ' on the X Factor....please, just for me, do it.....one of the defining moments in modern musical history.

Ottavio was in my form at secondary school. Sad wanker that auditioned for every X Factor, Britain's Got Talent and all that shite every single year til he realised he didn't have enough talent to do it as a 'serious' singer.

Just in case you were in any doubt, he is a complete **** and one of the biggest thickos I have ever met.

I can see he has been on Coach Trip as well. Sounds persistent and it’s paid off being a sad wanker. If you are very camp you might as well try and earn a living out of it I guess.

Who has ever taken it seriously?

This! And if they have they need to give their head a little wobble.

I think the problem occurs when folk see it as serious TV. It's clear that some 'acts' go through as pure pantomime. The two depicted are just that- pure click bait. Much of this must be orchestrated.

I do have my suspicions that the OP is also a big fan of watching, and getting annoyed by, wrestling

I've seen that, and would have been exposed to it regardless. There is part of me that worries whether youngsters like that should be allowed on. It's becomes a socially acceptable version of a Victorian freak show.

Now chaps when I said ' don't ake it seriously anymore' it was a figure of speech and badly presented.... I honetly think the whole thing is a joke and the judges MUST be told who to put through......after all how would their credability in the music business stand up?

Even noticed that Louis Walsh alway chooses boy bands? say no more.....

 

[Icy Gull]

I gave up watching it when the judges stopped slagging off the other judges acts and all started praising all acts to try and get the download count up I imagine?

The best part of the the show was the slagging off, it was never about talent because there was never much on display other than karaoke acts.

 

[vegster]

Anymore?

It's embarrassing manufactured shite from day one, aimed at fleecing the stupid and the gullible into paying premium rate phone calls and buying bland minor chord predictable ballads to increase Cowell's bank balance.

Particularly the mere recent changes of having the whole family backstage screaming for their family's hopeful wannabe and the ridiculous Chair business designed to try to milk some more emotion as they get spared/dumped.....utter tosh.

The quicker this sort of utter rubbish is taken off the air the better! I will admit in the early days of X Factor I enjoyed it, now it is well past it's sell by date, that idiot Louis Walsh and the others are a complete waste of time! quite simply the show has lost it, it is the "same old same old" and obvious and boring! why do i half watch it nowadays? my wife sadly still likes it.........................i will say no more..........

 

[Return of the Rev]

Just had to endure this programme before switching channels for the football

Louie Walsh.....puts through 2 "men" who had no singing skill and honestly call me what you what but I dont think they should be acting like they do on TV when there are so many kids watching.

Maybe im just old fashioned? I have nothing against gays but I dont like that sort of thing on TV..( i mean the way they were acting)

OK Flame away

Is it still on the tv?

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Please don't tell me that Walsh has unearthed another Jedwood, i dont think i could stand it.
To think that a lot of people actually liked them and purchased their records almost made me want to cry, but i suppose if you look down the years, Mr Blooby, The Wombles, Cheryl Cole etc.

These 2 are even worse than Jedward they offer absolutely nothing and that is to say nothing about the old rapper they kept bringing in chucking out and finally keeping in.

What a clever reply.........

Look at me..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...im trying to pretend I dont know...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..I guess you are also the sort or person who says they dont watch football on sky then comments on all the games....

 

[BensGrandad]

I have no choice but to take in some of that and strictly because my wife watches both and I just sit on my laptop but see and hear some of it.

Is that actually possible? Link?
