New X-Factor Layout Sucks!
The beginning stage of X-Factor was always my favourite.
One lonely soul (or a group) entering an isolated room in front of 4 judges, one of them including the monstrous Simon Cowell.
This has provided so many funny moments, where you’ve felt happy enough to laugh at long at the hopeless and glee with joy at the hopefulls. Check this example for comedy gold:
But now the audition stage has been put in front of a live audience with backing music. BAD DECISION. It just takes away from the raw singing aspect – looking for talent – It’s now just a singing version of Britains Got Talent. The next stages won’t be as special, as we’ve already seen them in front of an audience (some of the mystery has already been took away), and the pure singing talent aspect has been replaced by shovanistic pleggs.
That’s not really my main concern with it though, it’s just that we lose that beginning phase, as this is so similar now to the rest of it. We miss that acoustic, singing in a small room feel. I know when I’ve seen someone sing beautifully, i’ve thought that they’ve been singing to me, whereas now they’re performing to a crowd.
Here is a clip of the new x factor set-up:
X-Factor has got it wrong this year.

I agree. The new format is rubbish. The background music, the audience, everything. The sound quality is bad, and the dialogue between the judges and contestants has lost its magic. Shame.

I wonder why they changed it?

The whole show blows, every year they seem to be fixing it and putting really crap people through for “entertainment” values when its a singing competition..hello? That’s what britains got talent’s made for! Since they put Lucy out and the Jedward gimps keep getting through i have decided to stop watching the show altogether as i dont see the point if its constantly being rigged for the shows benefits. The GOOD contestants are suffering because of the twins and i really dont know how they bare to watch the others being voted off, surely they know how crap they are? They cant sing, they forget the words, they have gay hair and are generally just gay and they cant even dance they just hop about like two enormous douche bags and you just have to laugh because their so so cheesey. Anyway ive managed to bore myself now so Xfactor sucks and i shall leave it at that lol PS EVERYONE SHOULD BOYCOTT THE SHOW

Oh yeah mazza i totally agree with you. it’s totally rubbish this year in comparison to the past few years, it’s just turned in to britains got tallent and is an entertainment contest instead of a talent and singing contest.
