X Factor having a 'theme' so that the judges and 'mentors' can completely ignore that 'theme'.


So apparently it was rock night tonight on the X Factor, not that you could tell with those world renowned rock artists of Cee Lo Green, Kesha, Salt 'n' Pepper and Cher all covered tonight. Where were the stella guitar rifts, the amazing drum solo's, the up tempo and heart rate increasing tempo, the risky lyrics and dancers to match (no wait, X Factor did have the last bit, in fact that is something guaranteed and it cold be that the dancers are the most talented people on the show)?

Mean come on Tulisa, you're not that stupid, you know "tik tok" is in no way a rock song and if you were in any doubt a quick check on Wikipedia would have told you it is a "dance-pop and electropop song that uses a minimalist video-game beat interpressed with handclaps and synths. The songs verses use a rap-sing vocal style while the chorus is sung; throughout the song the use of Auto-Tune is prominent." (remember kids, wikipedia is gospel)

However I shouldn't be surprised really because the stupidity, blindness and lack of honessty in what are deemed to be judges of musical talent is there for all to see. Who do they think they are kidding when they try to pimp the chances of there several mildly talented singers that are just there to make up the numbers? Are they really trying to make me believe that the likes of Jonny, Frankie, Crag, Sami, Janet and 'Rythmix' (i assume there is some irony in this groups name) will be mega selling artists that will stand the test of time... really Louis... really??? FUCK OFF!

What you really want to do with these two-bit comedy acts is to make as much money out of them as you can, as fast as you can, while they are working for peanuts and the contestants themslves hold the false impression that fame and fortune is only a small number of phone votes away? I'm not saying there aren't some with talent, but had they only included these we'd be looking at a 4 week show.

It is the utter distain the whole show has for the public that watches it that riles me, all it wants to do is shaft kids of the pocket money on downloads, shaft the parents of these kids with increased telephone bills due to incessant phone voting and shaft those with week minds in believing mediocre can get you fame and is acceptable to put in front of a whole nation at prime time on a Saturday evening. Come on Cowell, your cash cow is running out of mik, time to rebrand (properly) and sell the same shite to us over again with a new name on the door!
