It does if Simon is to make a good return on the million pound recording contract and wants people to watch the show.

How many people on TiBB would watch a Opera talent show? I bet not that many.

I thought u Liked Rhydian lol :spin:

Quite a few people watched the Joseph and Maria shows. I think an opera telant contest might get more viewers than people think.

Actually, it doesn't sound like a bad idea. I'm not the biggest fan of opera, but if it was a show where you could just hear fantastic singing (in whatever style), I'd be quite interested. To me, it really is all about the singing when it comes to singing talent shows, rather than all the gimmicks.

Maybe the BBC or ITV will take note and produce something for varied musical tastes and singing styles.

Then we can kick the Opera singers out of the X Factor for good and Rhydian can show case his talents in the right sort of show. :thumbs:

What?
I'm confuzzled!
I put : 'How can anyone join this.. ' meening Rhydian is great!
Please take me off list !!
RHYDS OR SD 2 WIN!!

Done with pleasure.

Thankkiees =D

I thought that was the idea? To get and train someone to appeal to a vast music audience. Correct me if I am wrong as that is my interpretation of the show. The categories give variety. A group could win, as so could a male/female singer. It's about getting the best of the best. You obviously have different views.

I do have different views. I thought the show was about talent. If you don't want Rhydian because of his musical style then surely you dont want Niki to win for quite similar reasons. Why then were they both put through to the live finals? Why not go back to Pop Idol because a 40 year old winner of X-factor only has a limited appeal. You seem to have a totally different idea for the direction of the show than the producers. I'd hate a show that was exclusive to attractive 14-24 year old but that seems to be what some people want.

I will Join - He is bORE!!
