donuticus   10 #38 Posted September 25, 2010 Against my own will (the wife.....honestly!) I have been watching the X Factor. I have to be honest, I have seen about 3 people that actually have got something about them. But to my astonishment, Simon Cowell has got them singing Poker Face........... One of the girls I like has got a really cool husky, soulful jazz style voice & she is singing effin Poker Face?!?!?!? When are people gonna stop buying into this junk & let music progress as an art form, naturally, by people who have love & passion, for music & not for fame!!!???  It doesn't have to be an art form though. It's also just a form of entertainment that doesn't necessarily have to be taken seriously. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It's an art form that is entertaining!! Â Why should some of the people who audition have to sing songs that they would never normally sing??

All of which I agree with but music is not just an art form. Its a commodity like any other. Packaged, sanitised, distributed and sold by record companies and its always been that way. Basically from the time artists realised they made more money by appealing to the most people. All X factor is is a bit more blatant but its not really any different to Elvis wearing a nice suit on TV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
*Ryan* Â Â 11 #48 Posted September 28, 2010 Thanks to the OP for this thread, I agree! Â I mentioned to the missus that you could have recorded last years x factor and it would have been exactly the same, the all pull the same faces same quotes etc etc. Â I was watching that must be the music final with talented judges on it. That seemed are more appropriate talent show, xfactor comes across as a ridiculous entertainment program. Not just that, some people cant live without it on there Saturday night programming.
