X-Factor is not a talent contest!

Say what you like i enjoy watching the X-Factor and have enjoyed it since the beginning. My problem is i'm really hacked off with the general public's decision to keep joke's like Jonathan & Edward in the competition over acts that can clearly sing far better than them.
Yes they have talent but their talents would be better suited to something like CITV or Nickleodeon etc.
Its plain to see the Judges are annoyed and even Louis god love him tries to defend them but he must me gutted his actual singing act 'Miss Frank' (who could have been bloody good) are out of the competition.

WHAT IS GOING ON???????

What's going on my friend is that you need to stop watching crap TV and do something better instead.

Re: X-Factor is not a talent contest!

It is so shamelessly orchestrated that the public have become fed up with it; seen some sense, and are now using their 'voting power' to make a complete farce of the program, showing it up for the pointless throwaway cash cow that it is.

Hopefully these little tarts will win and the show will be cancelled. The same that happened when that large ugly girl won the 'Popstars' one a few years back.

its not a talent competition where the best singer wins, its a competition to gain votes from the public, least popular act goes!
