The auditions are hilarious -- especially when out of tune morons tell three prominent producers who have made millions from talent that they don't know what they're talking about. I love it when parents run in and shout "You've ruined my daughter's life! It was her lifelong [she's 16] dream to sing and now you've wrecked it! How will she ever sing now!?" (with lessons and drugging the audience perhaps). But, yes, everything after that is complete and utter shit (mostly when the camera is pointing at Kate Thornton and sound is coming from her mouth).

There was a great bit in Xtra Factor (I had it running in the background) today. A girl came in, and wasn't shit, but wasn't great (missed a couple of high notes, breathing in odd places etc) and they said no. So her dad went and started on Simon Cowell - was highly entertaining. He started going on about how it was nerves, and they should stick her on a stage in front of an audience to test her out, but of course La Simon wasn't having any of it.
When someone suggested that he might know what he was talking about, being a zillionaire producer and all, the father went off on one completely and referred to his daughter, and I quote:
"She's got the X-Factor, she's got the bling-bling..."
The man was at least 50. I would have died of embarrassment right there and then.

End this. It's shite, plus simon is a pile of crap, too. Nasty bugger. Yeah, for the sake and the protection of the puplic's ears, Simon can step in, and wave his attitude at the "Singer", but he is a total jerk when he dismisses a fantsastic noise maker. I just love it when there is sitcoms that takes the mick out of him

I have seen bits of it. I like the bit where the old Lady shouts at Simon and Simon said sorry for the first time.

Why yes, yes it is. And it will probably continue to. There's no real reason to close the thread, and it's very rude to tell a mod how to do their job. If they think it's spam, they'll close it whether anyone else says anything or not.
That said, I haven't heard of or seen the x-factor. It sounds unnessicary and boring. What is it, an American/Pop Idol clone, complete with Simon Cowell? Count me out.

It's Pop Idol with a different name. Simon Cowell, that fat guy, and Ozzy Osborne's widow (I believe the man to be a re-animated corpse) are a panel of judges, and the public are the idiots that step up to be shot down in flames. A few are chosen, and they sing crappy songs, badly, in an attempt to be chosen for a recording contract. There's one thing that is laudable about this program. The advertisements use Carmina Burana as their background tune. Which gives me hope that the folks who work in television aren't all comletely brain-dead cockmunchers with a taste only for the excruciatingly unbearable. Not much hope, but some.
