“AGAIN!? Really!?”
Written on: 18/01/2013 by Tex0gen (4 reviews written)
This show has just got tired. Why do the nation keep lapping this up?! Change the record and remove this mind numbingly boring program from prime time TV. What happened to the generation game or dont try this at home and things like that. Real entertainment. (read more)

How can you possibly pick between between the four that are left. They are all amazing in there own right but Tate Stevens is a star And Carly Rose just blows my mind. I cannot wait to see her in concert. She has such a different sound and completely blows me away. A star All the way. Laurie Greenberg Toronto, Canada (read more)

“First live show 2012”
Written on: 02/11/2012
This show is a mess. They need to watch The Voice and see what it is to be a real judge and mentor. It's real and this show is pathetic. The stage the effects, the dancers, the song choices, contestants singing in wrong keys. An what the ??? is that Kardashian broad trying to be an mc....she was horrible!!!! I feel terrible for the contestants. They deserve better, much better. (read more)

I agree 100% about the KK "broad"- she is on TV because of her fathers name?..and being herself? This does not qualify her to be on any show other than her own! Maybe if she was gone Mario wouldn't feel the need to hug all the contestants to him>>talk about your 'body language'. All the screaming defeats the purpose of the judges giving critiques- because you can't hear them. Who in their right mind decided that asking a 'kid'- "how do you feel now that you have been kicked off the show and your chance at a new life is gone" was a good thing. Thanks for 'listening'- I am very disappointed of what used to be one of my favs!

“The noise factor is disturbing”
Written on: 02/11/2012 by Confidant
Their is so much background noise from girls screaming, you can't hear the vocalists and the remarks from the judges. Overall, I may stop watching because it is so annoying. I absolutely can't stand it and think it totally distracts from a good show. (read more)

“Fire LA Reed”
Written on: 01/11/2012 by nobodyelse
The act produced by LA Reed by Jason Brock was unacceptable, horrible, shocking, vulgar, disgusting and had nothing to do with the man's talent. LA decided to make it a show about sexual preference and NOTHING else. The costume was so Liberace, what Jason wore and the dancers!!! The men with the shirts cut off above the chest and all the hunching and touching, rubbing, grinding and then the "Let me pinch your b...." Was beyond belief! This has nothing to do with whether he is or is not gay.... (read more)

seriously, how can they put through a complete twit compared to the real talent of the real rock guy?? He's a real talent, I just give up, far too many adverts and then they do that.

“Worst mistake”
Written on: 23/09/2012 by Joe1234don
X factor has axed a lot of people in the past that deserved the chance more than others but then they kicked of Joseph Whelan and that certainly was the worst mistake they have EVER done , not only is he absolutely quality at singing but he deserved it more than some of the other contestants and he was the best in the competition. What a ledge!! Deserved better Joseph , sorry you didn't get through. But please don't give up on that dream. (read more)

Written on: 19/09/2012 by Cherylolsen
When it comes to the X Factor Simon knows what he's doing. The Voice, forgot to watch it. Simon, you have nothing to worry about, but I think you already know this. I did watch the Voice last year, and X Factor, but this year I will stick with the goods. Good luck Simon, not that you'll need it. You knew exactly who to bring in to make sure the world would be watching. Fan for life. Cheryl Olsen from Phoenix. (read more)

I used to enjoy this show (sort of) - I could watch it with the wife and not moan. I even thought certain bits were good when they'd get someone who looked lame who belted something out, but after i-don't-know-how-many-years watching the same show as a carbon copy every year I am sick of it. The same cheesy cliches week-on-week, the same ridiculous remarks from judges who have little right to judge (and why do they get applauded????) and the same tired sob stories - which although tragic are...

Disappointing. I am a big fan. 11 minutes of introduction and one act. Why cant X factor go back to its roots. No live audience, and more acts during the programme.

I don't if its just me but i think the Xfactor still remains the same, superficial money hungry TV show. Regardless of the new judges, the ammount of GOOD talent gone to waste and RUBBISH talent given the chances up to boot camp makes me so mad! I don't belive in 'go on TV to try and get a record deal because your a good singer' I think its pure laziness comparing to people who are musically talented working there butts off everyday trying to make it in the music industry without having...

“Suspect Quality of Singers on X factor”
Written on: 05/10/2011
Hi everybody, the quality and talent of many of the X Factor singers is sometimes very sad. A lot of them can't sing in tune and don't know how to use a Mike. They tend to stuff the mike in their mouths and hide their faces. Very bad mike technique. Gary, you should get someone like Sam Brown on as a guest star. She is an incredible singer and would show you all how it's done. There was one black boy who had a fantastic voice who got a full standing ovation from the crowd in the first... (read more)

after a few good years of watching xfactor but what is going on this year is absolutely apoling. judges bickering at each other. the level of singing I thought what this is all about to fined a talent has gone to a level of very cheap pub entertaiment.I think that judging is to state an opinion without interuptions from other judges, where are your manners judges.

This is mindless viewing for a mindless audience, but then I guess thats why its on the channel it is.
The rise of this entire genre spells the doom of a generation who are brought up to have the attention span of a goldfish and the Loyalty characteristics of a Labour minister at hustings.
Quite frankly this drivel is designed to appeal to the lowest common denominator and whilst I appreciate that this is intended to be light entertainment and a contest that "the public decide" on, it's...

George Best's Comment
Written on: 30/11/2009
I found this review very helpful because...it just about sums up what I feel about the current trend within the music industry,the trend where you get average singing,moderately photogenic,easy to control young people,onto a show watched by kids with the attention span of a goldfish with amnesia.The only winner I can see in this whole charade is the Tony Hatch clone that is "Simon,you really owned that song,Cowell.Where did the once great british music scene go?

Written on: 10/11/2009 by bee (12 reviews written)
Rating X-factor was difficult because 2 weeks ago I would have given 5 stars but every week that a talented person is voted off in place of a popular one, the rating drops; Rachel has a fantastic voice but lacked the votes (mea culpa, I don't vote!), Lucie had votes but not enough to oust the patriotic Irish. It's like Eurovision!
I would recommend to a friend who likes tv entertainment but with a warning that although the acts are entertaining, parts of the programme are dull, dull, dull....

I'm just so shocked and appauled at what a joke this show is coming to! I used to think it was a way in for talent. We can all accept that someone has to leave each week and when its talent v talent, although still difficult we can agree with judgements. However tonights decision was a joke...the twins are clearly not talented! I agree with Danni, good luck to all those 'good' singers! (read more)

I read in the press this week that Simon Cowell was deliberately keeping the twins in to make more money for the program!!! After tonights result where he had a chance to get rid of the twins, he chose to go to the public vote. I used to respect his judgement, this proves beyond doubt that it`s all about money nothing to do with talent and Simon has lost my vote and so has X factor I`m turning off. (read more)

Simon has just shown what he really is, he hasn't got the balls and he's always said he doesn't know how they are still in the competition, yet he keeps them in, obviously he wants to leave the country and not come back because with judging like that I wont be watching again and we defo wont miss him........

Written on: 08/11/2009
I think it is disgusting what has just happened to Lucie Jones. Simon Cowell is a "chicken". He let's it go into public vote to get rid of Lucie as she is a threat to his boys. Also I think that Danni has ruined Lucie the last two weeks by making her look like a pop star. She has a powerful voice and she is better off singing the powerfull ballads. Shame on you Simon Cowell. I am a 63 year old and have watched the X factor from beginning, but it is now getting to be a big farse!!!! (read more)

Ok, I've pretty much watched every series of the X-Factor, and really enjoyed it. However, I'm not enjoying this series as much. I know we've only just started and only just passed the audition stage, but I've been quite disappointed so far.
I know we have to go through all the silly acts first, but there is simply too much emphasis on this and not enough exposure for the good acts. I got bored! All these over dramatic X-Factor crowd shots and obviously scripted scenes coming from the...

I believe X Factor this year, it is the best so far. However, it seems as if Alexandra (however it ' s spelt) is going to win, don't get me wrong, she is brilliant. However, she's the same as everyone else e.g. Leona Lewis etc. I think Diana should win as she has had her ups and downs but she has a unique, different voice and is very versatile, what is Loue on about! She might not dance, no but some of us can't. Lol plus she's very vesatile, she's been singing out of her comfrot zone... (read more)
