September 11, 20168 yr Jamuna could be the boost Calum Scott needs for a #1 :lol: 'I'm a tart with a heart' though
September 11, 20168 yr Robyn deserves the boost :( Can we please have a male singer who can actually comfortably "belt" please. PLEASE.
September 11, 20168 yr What's with all the comedy acts getting through though? I mean, they're all gonna get kicked out in the first round of Bootcamp
September 12, 20168 yr Author Enjoying this series except for the massive overload of "funny" acts. I'm never a fan of them anyway - I always prefer the series from bootcamp onwards - but I accept they are needed in moderation. However this series I feel like 80% of each show is being dedicated to the "funny" acts and I'd rather see actual talented people! :(
September 12, 20168 yr I'm embracing the funny ones more than ever, I'm trying not to get too invested in the good ones because they'll just flop and hurt me :lol:
September 16, 20168 yr Been renewed for THREE (!!!) more years! (BGT as well) Eek. I'll only approve of this if there's a massive revamp due.
September 16, 20168 yr Oh, I had it in my head this would be the last series! Yeah it needs a huge revamp/format change next year as this year's enjoyable, but only coming at it with the approach that it's clearly stuck in 2005 and appreciating it for what it is. I couldn't take another year of it exactly the same. Will be interesting to see what happens if the winner's single flops again. Obviously there's no issue if it's a smash, they'll just carry on as normal and take Forever Young as a fluke.
September 16, 20168 yr It definitely needs a revamp, I feel like BGT is somehow more tired than XF despite XF being more limited in theory, but then I haven't given a shit about BGT for like 5 years so I'm a tad biased. I don't think they drastically redo anything though, the ratings might be lower but ratings in general are and it's still a solid ratings high for ITV. I don't think the winner's single will ever smash again with streaming factored in, unless maybe they take a leaf out of X Factor Australia's book. 12 years and STILL we always get a dated ballad. XF Australia always has something current and specially tailored to the act, obviously sometimes that does happen to be a ballad but I'd kill for something like Good Night by Reece Mastin or What You've Done To Me by Samantha Jade. They can't really except a hit in 2016 out of a plain dated ballad cover that barely changes the original.
September 16, 20168 yr Been renewed for THREE (!!!) more years! (BGT as well) Eek. I'll only approve of this if there's a massive revamp due. I thought this was the last year till they started Simon Cowell's take on The Voice!!! I enjoy this year because of the daft acts. I'll stop watching come Boot Camp as then ir gets boring. I can only wqtch clips on YT anyway. Advanced Driving and Friday Noght had my LIFE!!
September 16, 20168 yr I am DELIGHTED at X Factor continuing, it's one of my favourite TV shows and I'm not ready for it to end yet! :P I quite like the idea that it's become comfort TV - you know exactly what you're getting these days and that's one of the charms of it really.
September 17, 20168 yr Bet you that that Sohelia (or whatever she's called) will have a rage/breakdown at Bootcamp
September 17, 20168 yr Really impressed with those 4 auditions, that last guy was really good, the girl that sang 99 Problems was also good, not so sure about the girl group they sounded alright, but vocally they need to improve.
September 17, 20168 yr Guess what? ANOTHER RETURNER! :zzz: The X factor is becoming like the charts, you don't reach your peak when you first enter
