Are there really one hundred thousand people who will give up their broadband for an extra 12.5pence per week? I'm not sure I like the principle, but nor am I sure this levy is as crippling as made out.

Its the start of the long slippery slope.
They will soon jack it up once established and proberbly like road tax it will end up in the genral coffers, like all good taxes do!
Excuses will abound such as "we never said it was ring fenced" etc etc, so by having broadband even you anti war mob might end up paying even more to finance the Afghan adventure!

Hoboh I don't think its really something worth getting angry about.

I haven't watched very much of it but the bits I've had to sit through, nobody is very good its as ever one big karaoke contest between people trying to make out they are very talented by singing other peoples songs badly.

The fact that one act can't sing at all and are a pair of muppets but don't get voted out or whatever only goes to show that the entire thing is voted on by muppets. Its gone on far too long as a program a couple of series and its a novelty now its tired and very very dull.

The judges could all do with being put down permanently and as for the wankers in the audience.

Now see who's wound up!

They are only still in because everyone is taking the piss, if you had to vote for who you want out instead of to keep in they'd be gone, but with that voting structure people have realised they have a chance of making the ultimate mockery of it all, plus surely it's more 'entertaining' than another Leona/Alexandra appearing, and certainly moreso than Leon Jackson or Steve Crooner-whatshisname...

Exactly. The whole thing has no credibility. Might as well have those weird freaks winning as opposed to the ones who take it all so seriously.

Nothing good will ever come out of it.

See the problem I have with it is according to something I read somewhere its 11,12,13 &14 yr old girls voting for them, it says a lot for the brains of these kids dosn't it?
I hope an army of social workers are as I type smashing down the door of the fourteen year old who flashed her boobs, thats a disgrace!! Hope her mum and dad are being shot! They should make it their business to know where she is and what she's upto even if she don't like it! Behaviour of a stupid stupid girl!! one that may end up in real trouble if she continues flashing at blokes or older lads!

No doubt they are, but they have also become the "protest" vote against the show.

People that are forced to watch it, but don't like it (and there are A LOT) of those are voting for the novelty act for a laugh and also to annoy Cowell.

What makes me laugh is its probably exactly what Cowell wants, all the publicity extra cash from the voting and higher audiences as people tune in to see what the fuss is about.

Leona Lewis, Alexandra, JLS, Will Young, Girls Aloud.

Alright, none of them are John Lennon or whatever. But for a bit of Saturday night light-entertainment, it's got a fairly good record of churning out popular artists.

I don't see the problem with it really. It's clearly massive, and if it keeps me from hearing about Katie Price on an hourly basis, good luck to it.

Would you buy a record of any of them?

They are all essentially shit.

And Saturday Night entertainment is fine, using it to promote rubbish as though they are finding "hidden gems" is getting a bit annoying.

Proper artists develop their craft over time by playing gigs and recording, not by going on telly for a few weeks in a karaoke contest.

Strictly Come Dancing is just the same. Talented dancers going out in favour of a Pinochio impersonator from Coronation Street who conned all the fans by his pleas of wanting to get to Blackpool. Forget any thought of fairness, the TV companies live on the outrage and controversy angle. Talent matters not.

Prufrock · Post by **Prufrock** » Mon Nov 02, 2009 3:30 pm

Today, I'm angry about people getting angry over the X factor and Strictly. Of course it isn't a real talent contest; it's voted for by the people, and as we all know, people are idiots. I have no idea who John or Edward are, so clearly it is possible to avoid it if it annoys you so.

I'm not angry Pru, just commenting. The shows are designed this way or they wouldn't put people like John Sargeant in them. No business like show business, and all that. I'll go and sit on the naughty steps for being so bold.
