THE X FACTORY.
I was interested to see how the X factor was changing this year after losing ratings
to that "Dancing programme" on the other side. Viewers must have been shocked to
see the cattle market experiance greatly enhanced this year. Judged by
the judges,judged by large audiences, re-judged by both in a seemingly musical
chair episode of unbelievable error -filled judgement. Is reality like this ? The
consistant tearful competitors of both sexes hopefully hoping their tears will
somehow engage with sympathy from the live audience, the TV audience ,
the judges, or anyone....please!Help me ! No. In the real reality tears will
get you nowhere at an entertainment audition. The producers of the entertainment
will pass on you for the next person....then you might get a callback.Then, you might
get another callback. Then, you still might not get what you want. Tears will be
ignored. That's show-biz. The X factory is not. It's about ratings.
There's still more tears, buckets of them, because now it's book camp time when
fifty percent of those remaining will be eliminated by the four judges. Then the real
programme starts with the same back-stories, tears, and judgements as we head
tediously to the final three, or two, followed by a Christmas No 1, an album
and then possibly C-list obscurity. In the "real" end it's about a really good song
that lasts.....not about the winner.
The X factory just repeats itself year after year and loses TV audiences. Soulful
tearful,noisy female singers. Cute young men. Boring groups. It goes on and on.
There is a young woman with glasses who has a nice tone to her voice singing
simple songs....not unlike the young lady who won "The Voice" earlier in the
year. She could win.......but I feel the ratings for Strictly come dancing and it's
straighforward family entertainment appeal will be the channel that most people
switch to. No more tears.
