October 20, 20195 yr But if it’s celebrities you’ll know who your backing first initially because you tend to go for your fave celeb before the show on shows like this and know who they are too by the way they billed it. Plus surely the story they have above anything else is they got paid to do the show they’re hardly the most well-known celebrities though are they? :lol: and going into this i had no idea who v5 were but i really enjoyed their audition + will be rooting for them on the lives. i’d day the initial shows did their job.
October 20, 20195 yr YAASS!!! Such a pointless audition phase only losing 2 but I guess that's the same as doing a double elimination first week, it's just in a different place :lol:
October 20, 20195 yr Oh that's long, I thought it would be like 4 or so and then a month of All Star X Factor, god knows when they're gonna show that because The Voice is always on at the start of Jan isn't it?
October 21, 20195 yr And Jenny’s back so we legit had a full scale audition process to lose two acts and then bring someone in who were yet to hear perform? They totally should’ve cancelled the entire auditions tbh to lose just two is stupid. They should’ve started it at the lives or got the acts down so they had just two each or something and just not have Vinnie enter. I wonder if the Jenny thing was staged tbh. Don’t put through someone who’s popular and can actually hold a tune for the classic boycot the show like promo they think it’ll get and then it’ll do her more good when the lives actually come as the GBP love an underdog. But yeah this is a weird watch for me For a show that was once untouchable and the #1 reality talent contest!! The serious element side to it is still what I’d say is the main issue with it though. I mean come on is everyone genuinely being serious that they want a record contract and that this is their dream etc... Megan sounded genuine but even she’s got some sort of deal she was one of the support acts for Michael Bubles show surely that required some amount of £££ and a deal to secure.
October 21, 20195 yr so glad that jenny’s gonna be on the lives :wub: still think they put her through anyway + had to edit in post production.
October 21, 20195 yr Agree 100% with Jordan Lee. I bet they could've got bigger names if it was for charity too instead of no hopers trying to get a side career out of it! Does feel a bit mean spirited in a way.

Megan sounded genuine but even she’s got some sort of deal she was one of the support acts for Michael Bubles show surely that required some amount of £££ and a deal to secure. I have to disagree with this, tbh. I think they've been very careful to select "celebrities" that are genuinely very passionate about music and want to work on their own music with a record deal and become known for that. Megan for example, this is her dream. I know none of them are exactly A-listers, but I'm respecting the show so much more for going out and finding celebrities that a) can actually sing and b) genuinely want to make a career out of it and follow their dreams! Yeah, it may not work out, but good for them trying! If they'd gone and got a bunch of massive names that you just know are never gonna go into the music industry and are only there for the cheque it really wouldn't be worth watching. As for this weekend's show, I thoroughly enjoyed it! Really loved all of the acts apart from Ricki tbh, oops. Megan's performance was good too, but didn't feel it was as powerful as it could've been! 1. Victoria Ekanoye 2. Jonny Labey 3. Olivia Olson 4. V5 5. Megan McKenna 6. Ricki Lake
October 21, 20195 yr I can agree in one part there I believe it is Megan’s dream and she can sing I actually really like her personally BUT she’s always going to be known for CBB above anything else. She was actually a lot worse on Ex On The Beach too tbh but people will immediately always associate her as being “that crazy girl” no matter how good a singer is.
October 21, 20195 yr Oh god more Fix Factor shenanigans and fixing :rofl: They just can't help themselves!

I guess with someone like her people will always have a preconceived opinion because of TOWIE, CBB, EOTB, etc. Hopefully that's something we're able to move past though and admire her for her talents. We know how fickle the public are too, if she were to release an amazing album after this she'd be hailed as the next Adele or whatever by those that didn't like her before. :lol:
October 21, 20195 yr i don’t even like megan but to say she shouldn’t be taking part in this because she’ll only ever be known for being on cbb is taking your dislike of the format a bit far :lol: so nobody should do anything after doing something memorable in their lives because they’ll never top it? she should just quit working or trying to better herself because, in your opinion, she’ll never change the perception of herself?

I love Megan and believe it’s her dream but when you do things like that before you have a singing career when you want to start it it’s hard to be taken seriously. Had she had a singing career to start with and then went down the reality route it wouldn’t have been as difficult but that’s just my opinion. She’d be better off starting a career in another country where she hasn’t been on TV before and there’s less pre conceptions of her. Plus my main dislike this week really was what was the point of auditions or judges houses depending on what they called it lol usually it is to whittle down contestants. So far we’ve had three eliminations where ones been brought back and then someone else is joining the lives too. Amazing job of getting the contestants down :lol: :lol: I bet Jenny’s exit was completely staged though. Edited October 21, 20195 yr by Jordan Lee
October 21, 20195 yr It COULD be possible though. I agree with the bulk of what you're saying, if not all of what you're saying, but I guess you could use Cardi B as a case study to being trashy and managing to salvage a career. But I think you probably just shouldn't worry too much or put too much stock in the artists from this actually getting much from it. The show will always try and promote itself as a hit making factory because... well, why wouldn't it? But, it's probably best to enjoy it and not worry about any of these factors cos it's unlikely any of them will gather much leverage from this show.
October 22, 20195 yr Hopefully they have guest performers on the live shows, always nice ot see some promo slots!
