X FACTOR hits a new low

What a mess. First Louis cocks it up by putting through bands that shouldn't have gone through in the first place, then listens to the rest of the groups AFTER the final chair has been filled, then says an act has to go AFTER they thought they had a place in the final, and then boots off an earlier selected band, THEN to save face makes them face off for the REAL final places. What a MESS. The judges took too much notice of the screaming 'hystericals' in the audience and selected bands that should NEVER have been selected in the first place by bowing to audience pressure forgetting that they still had more 'possibles' to listen to that could have gone through ahead of the ones they voted through.

WHAT A MESS and how unprofessional? Oh I know it's the X FACTOR and we shouldn't even be discussing the merits of the programme (The merits of the programme! HaH! What am I saying?) but having been watching with one eye (well half an eye really), I just couldn't miss the latest idiotic twist to the programme. Do you think they are trying to reel me in to make me watch it again next week, just to see if they make fools of themselves again? It's tempting BUT NOT THAT TEMPTING!
 
Didn't have you down as an X Factor fan, Welsh?!

Ignore any crowd reactions, it's all edited. Half the crowd reactions shown aren't the ones for that actual act. I got a free ticket a few years ago to the top 50 auditions (Joe McEldery's year) and they got us to do a staged standing ovation. It's such a joke, and I can't believe so many people fall for it all. I'll still watch it, as I love music and there are some great singers on it.

Didn't know you used make-up Greavsie.
 
Cowell is a manipulative and clever bloke who has as much musical knowledge as a sprout. Cant believe how anybody has been taken in by him for so long.

OH BELIEVE me, I'm no fan of X Factor. 'Free' ticket eh 'SG'? Yeah they all say that.

I would imagine it would be such a joke and to stage manage most things, I COULD believe. I wouldn't have thought they would stage manager that fracas, though, it made them look like idiots. There I go again, what am I saying? THEY ARE idiots. WHAT I find hard to take is all the silliness and the fake (and real of course) hysteria. The hiked up emotion is really corny. I agree there are some real singers on the programme but the corny use of 'slick' phrases and false expressions of 'greatness' and the sucking up by both the panel and the contestants is stomach churning. Unfortunately for me the Mrs likes the programme. Mmmm I know, a headteacher of 2 schools, an educated person. No wonder the education system is in the state it is!
 
Can I just say, some of the comments on here are priceless. 'EVERY LITTLE ELPS...... HAHAHAHAHAHHA.

Oh it was free. I wouldn't pay to go and see that if my life depended on it!
