X Factor (UK)
- Thread starter Tomato
- Start date
The rarings will continue as they have been. John and Edward will either be the next Ant and Dec or will fade away into the real world.
Olly Murs has a ok voice and seems a nice person but thats all.
I disliked John and Edward when I first saw them but now I don't mind them.
Lots of good arguments among the judges which is the draw for me. I also like to evaluate the contestants on how they would sell as Cowell would. I would never spend money on anybody on the show ar buy their records in a million years. Not that I have anything against them it is just, well, i like real music.

I too try to judge contestents on how they would sell. The only 3 I think had a shot were:
Lucie, because she was hot, and that is often enough for a few number 1s, as artist after artist has proven. She wasn't too bad a singer either.
Olly, as a sort of British Michael Buble, would appeal to a similar audience.
Joe, but not as a popstar. He'd do well as a frontman in musical theatre - be the next Joseph or something.

Let's be honest none of them will sell. They are all bland and boring. they will all be dropped after their first album. It feels like the X factor has not been as successful as AI. The only artist with ANY lasting power is Leona Lewis.
The rest have been all duds. Rhydian was interesting but there seems to be no talent left in the UK (sorry guys)

I think it's worth noting that fully half of the top 10 are X Factor or X Factor related acts.
Cheryl Cole
Alexandra Burke
JLS
Leona Lewis
and the X Factor Finalists charity song.
I don't think it can really be said the show only produces unsuccessful artists. Yes, it's had some real no-hopers. But it has launched careers - not always (or indeed often) that of the winner.
Yes but out of those 5. I only predict 2 of them will have any career after the next 3 years. The charity song shouldn't count LOL. But also this is the UK so biggest test is can they cross over to the states. Which only Leona has only managed to do. Agreed X factor can manufacture hits, but to create lasting stars you need real talent for that.
BTW, I really like Cheryl's new song..

It is very sad how the charts are full of garbage but that is the charts for you.
... But at least Rodney Williams failed to get to number one this time as his career continues to fade.
Pop is certainly the dominant style in this country, sales wise. It enjoys a status similar to Country or Hip Hop in the US, massive sales if heavily criticised from some quarters, usually those who consider themselves above it all. I don't personally enjoy much pop music, with a few exceptions that muscle their way into my head with catchy lines, but I am under no illusions that it sells in this country, and sells well.
Well X factor is getting boring. Joe is like a bloody dark horse. His Could it be Magic was kind of boring, but he does well on those ballady songs. I don't know if it is enough to be a star b/c his performances is what carries him. But his voice is too genericy.
Danyl relight my fire was pretty damn good. He should do more uptempo songs.
I guess also that it is near the finals so the judges are laying on the complements thick. Time to kick it in high promotion mode for that first CD. Also, I think Danii was looking freaking hot tonight. And that will keep me watching
