The X Factor
It's back on our screens, a way for Simon Cowell and ITV to make money, I'm sorry, I mean give some poor undiscovered kid a break.
Yeah, right.The early rounds are like ritual humiliation, and now they've added an audience, it's a bit like the Romans throwing Christians to the lions.If you enjoy the early stages and watching a lot of these people who think they can sing, then you're a follower of blood sports. It's the same as making fun of the mentally ill.
And then there are the judges. These knowledgeable people have the nerve to criticise others. Let's see who they are. 1) Simon Cowell. A man who admits not to liking music, yet likes it if it makes him money. When he uses one of his pre-prepared put downs on another mentally ill person who think they can sing, how we laugh.And we always say,"you're so right Simon",on his verdicts. He's not so right, he's looking for a certain whiny tone.Would Roger Daltrey get through? I doubt it but he has more relevance than all the contestants put together.And Simon always champions someone with no ability who is constantly out of tune.
2)Louis Walsh. A man responsible for some chicken in the basket cover bands, including Westlife, Boyzone and Girls Aloud.One day he will answer for his henious crimes.
3)Danni Minogue. Had a few totally forgettable songs around ten years ago.
4)Cheryl Cole. Can't sing.People soon forget she has a conviction for assaulting a cleaner, using foul language against her. Let me correct myself here. Can't sing and is a nasty thug.
And these hypocrites who have the nerve to criticise others gave Girls Aloud a standing ovation for a completely out of tune performance.
And then you have the contestants. Those stupid kids who act as if their lives have ended because they didn't get through an audition or boot camp.Whatever happened to the love of performing, not the desire to be a superstar.They should all grow up.
And then you have the host. Dermot O' Leary is the only person who makes me long for the return of the irritant Kate Thornton.Watch and laugh as he bumbles his way through the introduction, gasp in wonder as he manages to ask the most inane questions to the contestants known to man. This is proof of what happens if you employ someone based on their looks alone.
In short, I hate the X factor, it has no meaning or relevance apart from making money.Even the winner will be forgotten within a year.Watch it at your peril.
