The contest is a singing competition where people audition and go through different rounds to be crowned winner & awarded with a £1million recording ...  Read the complete review

A tv programme aimed at picking 'talented' singers from the general public. Open auditions are held in various cities around the country, and thousands of people turn ip to sing in front of four judges. None of whom really get on with each other, so their disagreements can be rather humerous. The people that show up for these auditions ...  Read the complete review

The X factor is a British singing - based talent competition in which contestents battle it out for a one million pound recording contract which effectively changes their life. It started a few years ago and back then it was a lot more to do with talent than the money. This year more than ever i feel it is about ITV generating money rather ...  Read the complete review

I wonder if Simon Cowell realised when he started The X Factor a number of years ago how it would take off and the hysteria and excitement it would generate. Now the X Factor is watched by millions every Saturday and Sunday. The show has changed a bit in this new series with the auditions now taking place in front of a live audience ...  Read the complete review

I used to love the X Factor a few years ago but now it's getting to be a joke. My first problem is the voting system. The only reason they do phone votes is to make ITV loads of extra money. It would be loads better if they had a panel of music experts (and I mean EXPERTS) that picked the loser each week. This year has been the worse ...  Read the complete review

The X Factor is one of the main reasons I stopped watching television. The shows basic format is ; Take Simon Cowel,Louis Walsh and one or two random female judges. Sit them at a desk. Then watch as a parade of lunatics wander past them,stopping to 'sing',dance and bemoan ''But,I've got a cold! I usually sound ten ...  Read the complete review

The Xfactor is one of my favourite programs on TV at the moment and is a program that always gets me in the mood for Christmas as it finished just before Christmas so the winner can have the Christmas number one. The show is a singing contest and starts off with the audition process which used to be in a little room with contestants ...  Read the complete review

I write this review as X Factor stands sans the great Jedward...so it is tinged with sadness. I have to admit to a somewhat love hate relationship with X Factor, the details of which I will go into below. Shown every Saturday night on ITV it is a very popular TV show and it seems almost everyone in Britain watches it! Results are shown on Sunday ...  Read the complete review

The X-factor so utterly hideously painful to watch that it makes sustained dental torture sound positively appealing. As anyone who isnt deaf, dumb, blind and living in an iron ball at the bottom of the sea can tell you, the X-factor is a belated 'talent show' in which members of the public are encouraged to audition as pop stars, the show going ...  Read the complete review

Love it or hate it, its X Factor time again and its really heating up. This year the X Factor is causing more controversy than ever and Simon Cowell is just loving it! The more headlines he makes, the more money he earns. Concept simple: Its a talent show where anyone can audition and from that 12 of the best are chosen to move to the ...  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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

This is the rough format of the ...  Read the complete review
