The X Factor

Roll up Roll up for the not so greatest show on earth! The X factor has officially become a circus ring. The programme, airs on a Saturday night on ITV 1 and is a show searching for the next recording artist for the UK. Each week 4 judges, headed up by Simon Cowell, scour the UK by holding auditions for people who want to be the next big thing in music, the majority of whom couldn't sing if their lives depended on it. The first auditions are the best weeks because the show is packed with people who raise a laugh from the viewers. The second stage sees the successfull people from each audition going through to boot camp where a serious of ...  Read the complete review

The X Factor is a show which gives people who think they have got talent in music the chance to sing and impress. The show starts off with contestants in the boot camps trying to make their way to the show. lt then moves on to the judges houses where they carry on impressing. Only 12 acts can make it to the proper stage it self and this where the competition it self begins.The judges on the show are Simon Cowell, Danni Minogue, Louis Walsh and Cherly Cole. The judges play a big part in the show as each of them is the mentor of the contestants. So it becomes a competition between the judges to as well as the contestants on the show. Last year Alexandre Burke ...  Read the complete review

The X Factor has become a show, when it is on, that now dominated our screens, and now even the papers and the news as well. This latest series has been at the centre of great controversy, and there is good reason for this, with a one million pound recording contract up as prize for first place, something life changing, there are always going to be arguements.

I love the X Factor, because it is a show that provides some fantastic talent. Yes, much of it is listening to people who cannot sing at ...  Read the complete review

I think this year's X Factor has been the most popular and most talked about for one simple reason - the twins John and Edward aka Jedward. There has been much talk about whether they deserve a place on the show. It's pretty obvious they have very little talent in terms of singing, but what I would argue is that they recognise this and make the best of what they have got by trying to be entertaining instead - and it works. I've been quite baffled at the attitude of the often moronic British public setting up Facebook groups and e-mailing and ringing the show branding Simon Cowell a disgrace for keeping them in the competition when he could have ...  Read the complete review

~~~ What is it ? ~~~ X Factor is of course a talent show, searching for the next big thing in the music industry. Although, that isn't necessarily guaranteed, despite the £1 million record contract. It's shown on ITV on a Saturday and Sunday night. ~~~ Contestants ~~~ Contestants for the show vary from being excellent singers to being excellent shouters of words from songs. I'm a fan of the shouters. The people who think they can sing, but find out that they really can't are the ones who make the show for me. Unfortunately, these people are weeded out in the first few weeks. The best singers eventually make it to ...  Read the complete review
