I honestly cant watch this show, doesn't entertain me at all. I can barely even watch the Auditions, the only bit that interests me is the spinny chairs...

I like the auditions but then I lose interest after that.

the live shows are in dire need of

a) the judges offering criticism
b) the performances lasting longer than a minute and a half
c) fewer "what we did this week!" stories / "let's check what you've been tweeting!" / general arsing around
d) louis walsh

I've never watched it properly, only ever seen clips on YouTube. The show has yet to produce a star which I think is its main problem, there's no investment in the franchise from the viewing public, it's lazy weekend viewing and if it disappeared no one would care.

I think this series has been the best on yet. With emma rather than the sickly sweet Holly and Marvin is proving to be a fantastic presenter better than whoever else it was. Kylie better than the awful Jessie j too. The battle rounds were better this year too and I liked how 4 went last night and its a straight final public vote next week. A huge difference to the last 2 series.

Meh, I find it refreshing that they're not like the X Factor judges and "judge drama" hasn't taken over the show like on X Factor
