Well i think they do, but just see people break down and cry after they are told that can't sing at all. Some of the hopefuls see it as there only shot of getting into the music business. Which is sad tho.  

just do a search for michelle thorne in google, lovely girl, just the type you would want to take home to meet your mother.......if your mother was into drinking piss that is.

You got the wrong end of the stick guy's, im ranting about the show it's self, and other shows of similar elk.

However, the majority of people that go on x-factor must know that they can't sing for toffee, and that have not got a chance.

Fair enough that big scottish lass won that otherheap of sh*te last year, but come on guys, how many teenage boys are going to have a poster of her on thier bedroom wall. She may have a good voice, but she certainly was not the whole package. Where is she now?

Doesn't matter what people say, i am right, TV is getting worse and the general public have turned into a bunch of nowt else to do but watch morons making fools of themselves, and getting that "quick peek" into a celebrity's house.

This rant is only the tip of the iceberg, wait until i get properly started.

Things like when simon cowell asked someone why they thought they had the x-factor, thier reply was "well ive been singing since the age of 4 and i want so badly", i mean come on, what kind of sh*t answer is that?

I would give almost anything to be a succsesful musician, however I don't have the x-factor, thats why im sitting here ranting on, instead of lying on some beach watching the money roll in. But at least i know it.

x-factor , shmeks-factor, just a whole big money making scam for cowell and his sidekicks.

Oh, and how come Sinita is a judge, she was f**king sh*te in the 80's ...So Macho...what a crock of sh*t.

Previous form: Professional pub singer.
He said: "The show gives you a platform but then pulls the rug from under your feet by making you sign to a certain record label and having no say in what happens next. It should be about music and talent but it’s not.”
They said: “It is fair to say that Steve and I had artistic differences, but then that happens.” Simon Cowell.
Where is he now? Steve’s debut single - a cover of Phil Collins' Against All Odds - got to No.1 after he announced his intention to give away the “profits” (ie the handful of coppers left over after Cowell took his wedge) to the tsunami appeal. His career has been on a downwards trajectory ever since, and last month he threatened to quit pop if music bosses forced him to release any more covers. Earlier this week, it emerged that his record company had dropped him because of disappointing album sales.
Fame rating:

Good for Brookers!  Why should he have to sing covers anyway, get him writing his own sodding songs!
