Is their single not going straight to release?

A girl group winning when they have this show on against Little Mix's and just lost Little Mix from their roster, hmm, call me cynical but that is quite neat for them...

I was thinking the same *eyes*

 

As soon as I'd read that they had an original and the boys didn't, I kinda knew they'd won :lol: I feel like the focus was all on the girl group with this, right from the start (and it kinda bugs me just coz I know it's done out of spite and not necessarily coz Simon wants them to be a success or whatever - but this could def be the cynic in me :lol:)

 

But hey, I really like the girls song! They have a lot of potential and more girl bands is a good thing for me! :D (Especially as rn LM are the only ones really doing anything and they won't be doing it forever).

 

Very excited to hear more from these girls.

 

Also in regards to the name of the group, pretty sure 90-95% of all groups names are horrific aha!

I mean Simon doesn’t really have any big UK acts left on his label... So I can imagine him at least trying an era with the girls. Also wouldn’t be surprised if Leona signed back to Syco.

It is really weird that they don't have a winner's single. Surely I thought they would have released the song Kelli wrote as they performed it twice on the show.

 

The first time they performed it together, it was amazing and definitely seemed like a winning performance.

 

I liked the boys too, they had some really good singers.

 

Megan didn't seem to really have a proper winner's single on the celebrity version either.

Just 1.7m tuned in for the final of this last night. Ding dong, the show is dead.

Those figures are bad for a prime time sunday night slot.actyally they are bad full stop.

And yet despite those ridiculously low numbers, ITV have agreed to have another series next year lmao (presumably of the regular series). If that series flops, it's hard to see it surviving beyond that. At least this year it has the spin-offs excuse.

I think bgt plays a massive part tbh in X factor being renewed

Was it not renewed until 2020 anyway prior to Celebrity and The Band flopping? I do think it was BGT though, they seem have a deal with Simon that includes both shows. I think they should just do All Stars and then bow out for sure because it's such an embarrassing decline.

Yup. Spend the next six months negotiating with notable X-Factor contestants, do a proper All-Star and just bow out. The X-Factor formula of doing things have become outdated with streaming anyway.

I agree, it would be the best way to go and possibly bring the show back with a brand new and fresh format in about 5 years time.

I think it is the only way X Factor will draw some decent viewing figures by doing a good All Stars Show.

That said, i cant see it happening, some of the winners alone have been treated badly.

Returning to a show that isnt a ratings success anymore is a risk and acts like Little Mix and Olly Murs wont risk taking part as they dont need to.

 

(wasn't sure where to post this, went here as it's the most recent series)

 

The Sun are reporting that The X Factor will be rested for a year - to return in 2021.

I think its gonna need a longer rest than a year if they want the return to have any success

This is good news tbh.

 

I don’t want to see it axed but the XF we got last year was horrible to watch tbh. Having time off screens will hopefully give time to buck ideas up and hopefully take things back to a format what’s uncomplicated.

 

 

I wonder what ITV will fill the time slot with tbh as there’ll be no BGT Champions either so they’ve got 12 weeks to fill pretty much

I honestly just think it won't come back :lol:

Potentially Masked Singer S2?

 

Or maybe an entirely new show! Intrigued to see what it is though.

i can’t see past a second series of the masked singer tbh
