X Factor or American Idol?
 
What do you love watching the most?

The Americans 'American Idol'
or
The British 'X Factor'

In my opinion, the standard in AI is MUCH higher

But then again its a much bigger country and more to choose from

Firewire 05-12-2009 08:26 PM

AI has had better winners.

Kelly Clarkson
Carrie Underwood
Jordin Sparks

and big contestants like

Chris Daughtry
Ruben Studdard etc.

But I watch X Factor. :P

I think the perfect combination would be The X Factor with the talent of American Idol
Both are really good shows and have their strengths.
I prefer AI auditions and Hollywood week to the XF audition and bootcamp. But I prefer the XF judges houses and live shows to all the AI live shows
Overall I do prefer The X Factor and when there is a good bit of talent its obvious its the better show

Stacey. 05-12-2009 09:45 PM

they are actually both great,, but American Idol for me!
Itss a fab programme ;)
And they all have great talent;)

MiuMiu 05-12-2009 09:51 PM

American Idol.
X Factor has been abismal this year.
It's really sealed the deal in my mind as to what show is better.

AI all the way.
:)

Marc 05-12-2009 10:08 PM

Idol

Im shocked at your choice! :joker:

AI dont have 2 Irish Twins who never fail to entertain do they?

Beastie 05-12-2009 10:11 PM

I like both but X Factor!

James 05-12-2009 11:17 PM

Whenever I have watched American Idol (which is not that often) I have thought the talent levels were way higher than our shows.

The singers on AI look more experienced and comfortable on stage.

Firewire 05-12-2009 11:23 PM

Yeah exactly James.

I'm gonna watch the new season when it starts in January.

ELLEN!

MiuMiu 06-12-2009 01:27 AM

Ya ano more Paula Abdul :(
I loved how she was always drunk and telling contestans the they were 'Truly talented" and the she "loves them all so much" each and every week, no matter who it was or what season it was.

Ellen deGeneres on AI will be weird.
Hopefully funny though.

Kara Dia Guardi can suck it though.
She's shite.
:(

GO RANDY! lol!
Yeah Daawwg! :joker:

Very surprised some of those people said american idol.

Patrick 06-12-2009 01:32 AM

They should air X Factor in USA.

No not X Factor USA.
Like our version in America.

Because on Youtube and stuff, alot of Americans like X Factor and can only watch through Youtube.

Yet AI is showen in the UK.
So I think its about time they show X Factor UK in America.

AI, It's got more variety in musical styles it's less OTT and it doesn't feel as staged as XF.
