Posted June 28, 201113 yr Matthew Raymond Barker has just won X Factor France. :o Edited June 29, 201113 yr by Hayzayy
June 28, 201113 yr Nor me :lol: He might not even been shown on TV while he was in UK XF (ie ultra reject :P) Edited June 28, 201113 yr by Liаm
June 28, 201113 yr Author He made it to first day of bootcamp in the last season of X Factor UK ! You can see him in that video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkWRALLpQjI
June 28, 201113 yr :o Read he was in the final today and thought wow, then it said X Factor France watched by an average of 1.5million viewers. Is that a flop? Considering the UK has a similar population and ours pulls in well over 12 million viewers on average! Edited June 28, 201113 yr by Jimmie
June 28, 201113 yr I can't stop looking at Hayzayy's signature. But that is quite a small amount I would say.

Considering the UK has a similar population and ours pulls in well over 12 million viewers on average! Yes, the show is a flop here. They stopped 'Idol' to replace it with 'X Factor' this year but it didn't work at all. There are even talks about bringing 'Idol' back next year. Thanks god 'The Voice' is coming on a concurrent channel early 2012 :cheer: Edited June 28, 201113 yr by Hayzayy

That is bad then, shows that X Factor is not always a guaranteed success *Cough USA Cough* Well with the Voice and Idol coming back I imagine the ratings will plunge even more! I echo statements about your sig, it's incredible :wub:
June 28, 201113 yr The title is a bit misleading. I was thinking a group won the France X Factor. :lol:
June 28, 201113 yr Author The title is a bit misleading. I was thinking a group won the France X Factor. :lol: Oops ! Corrected it ! :P And Cheryl says thank you all for your comments ^_^
June 28, 201113 yr And Cheryl says thank you all for your comments ^_^ She would be very much welcome :kink: Do they have groups on the French X Factor?
June 29, 201113 yr She would be very much welcome :kink: Do they have groups on the French X Factor? Yes, but they were mostly awful :lol: Glad this guy won, the UK show always picks it's favourites, normally for non musical reasons, but he has a good voice and is cute. I'm just gutted that someone has taken my route to fame now :(

Considering the UK has a similar population and ours pulls in well over 12 million viewers on average! I think the French X-Factor has less viewers because in general, the French are more intelligent and have better things to do than watch such crap programs. They have better wine, better weather, better looking people ... the list goes on. BTW - in that clip with the final two - I actually thought the girl was better. Kath

Kath The girl was infinitely more talented than the boy. She was a great singer but everyone expected her to win from her audition day, while everyone expected the boy to get evicted early (he was always forgetting the lyrics and was singing out of tune). But as usual the "dark horse" overtook the favourite in the end. The talent overall was pretty low this year, I think that's why the ratings were awful. 2.3m watched the finale, and that was with guest performances from Beryonce (RTW and BTINH) and Bruno Mars (JTWYA and TLS). The show had similar ratings two weeks back with J-Lo and Lady Gaga both performing. Oh and he's releasing a crappy cover as first single in the coming days. Will be interesting to see how he does.

July 4, 201113 yr Author The single of the winner is a bit of a flop too :/ It didn't touch the top10 on Itunes, and 3 days after its release, its already down to low top40 ... Sounds like he won't be much of a popstar in France.
