The X Factor is terrible
Monday 20th October, 2008 (Personal blog)
In the early stages of the competition the programme is worth watching just to see the deluded souls who think they are great, but utterly terrible, brought down a peg or two. However when it tries to take itself seriously and we get down to the “you were born to perform” acts it goes horribly wrong.
Everything about the show is over the top and cringeworthy. From the inappropriate use of O Fortuna as background music to introduce the judges to the painful arguments that erupt between them. It all seems to revolve around these 4 people who are extremely nauseating. Walsh who thinks Girls Aloud and Westlife are something to boast about and Simon Cowell who has introduced us to Robson and Jerome, Zig and Zag and the Teletubbies, are the worst. If you ever wondered why the music industry is in such a state look no further than these two.
And what happens to the winners each year? Apart from Will Young none of them have done anything of note. I think the show should just tour the country for the funny acts that we can all have a laugh at and stop pretending it’s something that it isn’t.
