X-Factor - I hate it! Please winge about it here.

[Sly Reflex]

What annoys me are that the judges arse kiss poor performances. It's embarrassing to watch.

[leeray666]

They know they fucked up don't they? I honestly agree with Rumblecat that Gamu would be better off without X-Factor. But I think the public actually wanted to see fairness and to see a talent show being judged on talent.

[Sly Reflex]

I hope the show gets hijacked and the crazy long haired karaoke singer wins it. That's your next project 4chan, get to it.

Anonymous is not your personal army.

3hours of it tonight. 3 fuc.king hours.
Thankfully, I never saw one second of it.

But 3 fuc.king hours!!!!

[fatboyslick]

Fucking hell that was a long show last night!!!!

As much as aI hate it, the second to last guy who sang Tears For Fears was excellent - If I'd just tuned in not knowing it was XFactor Id have thought he was already a fully fledged Popstar....brilliant set, performance etc.

You just know they'll **** it up for him next time though or repeat and rinse the trick....I'm betting on Shakespear's Sister - Stay for his next one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eXw47qb4U0

the problem with x-factor is the how fickle its auidence are, they are the type of people to go out and buy a single just because the TV told them too but they are also the same audience to drop you in a second and 8 months later your playing gigs at Warrington uni.

As soon as the next series of x-factor or whatever comes out your forgotten and the stars of the new show take over the hearts of your fan base.

even when you look at Girls Aloud who have most likely had the longest sustained period of fame they havent really made any money, by all accounts they were on really poor pay for the first few years. The only real winners on the show are Cowell and Walsh

Hah funniest thing ever was when Louis Walsh said "the public haven't a fucking clue" live on Your a Star (Irish talent show) around ten years ago. This was about 6 o clock in the evening, RTE were falling over themselves apologising. Funny!

[OnThinIce]

thats the only thing he has ever said that i agree with

Considering you all hate it, an awful lot of you seem to have watched it...? I know some of you have partners who like it and stuff, but couldn't you have gone to the pub, or into the other room with a DS or a good book or something?

I had to watch it with the bird, I watched it drunk and hungover at the same time. I shouted at the TV for the 15 minutes i watched it for then retired to the bedroom and watched a Stevie Ray Vaughn DVD to sort myself out.

Well, Rosetinted wrote something similar, and pulled it down for some reason.
I don't know what the other people's situations are but for me, I don't hate it to the point that I have to be somewhere else.
I work on the weekends, and get back in time for both showings. It's this time that I'm simultaneously eating my dinner, surfin' the net (readin this lovely forum and checking my mail) loading up some art stuff on the computer and fixing some lego stuff that my son's dismantled during the day.
I could go to the pub, but I'm not a big drinker, and I don't have any friends who live nearby to go to the pub with.
I would love to be able to eat my dinner with something else in the background but we only have one TV, and the computer is set up in the same room...

... I might actually start sticking my headphones in and watching something on iplayer, but that probably won't be very nice for my son.

[Mr Marvellous]

I watch it every weekend with the mrs and my mother and my 2 neices.

I dont paticularly like the show but its a good family 2 hours.

[CcraiggyO]

Like the Monkey sez, read a book!

[leeray666]

OK, But which one?
