I disagree but I get where you're coming from. They throw together so many solo artists into a group with no real consideration for what they're actually doing, they've only got it right twice - One Direction and Little Mix. I'd argue the former were successful because there was a gap in the market and they could have been anyone; the latter I think were successful because Tulisa really focused on them and they worked very hard and well together as a team and fortunately gelled well as a group. I wish they'd put through groups who auditioned as groups instead of playing transfer window with different solo artists and putting strangers together and hoping something sticks, it's just annoying. I'm a huge fan of pop groups, I love vocal harmonies and there have been a few groups I've really liked on the X Factor - JLS were of course the best group to audition and make it through the live shows - but there is a lot of dross inflicted on us by the producers. Perhaps they do that to pad out the shows and create fodder for early eliminations, I don't know.
