The X Factor makes its own bed anyway by giving these people sob stories and a platform to stand on, if they don't want dud winners then they need to stop putting through karaoke singers. It needs to either stop pretending it's trying to find the next big star or it needs to start actually trying to find the next big star.

Totally agree.
Its one of the reason why I cant stand the show and no longer tune in. Simon decides who's gonna be a star and not the poor saps spending their money voting. That seems the opposite of how it should be IMO. The whole show is a huge fraud . Simon makes money from the show then makes even more money from which ever act he decides to throw his money at while you people at home have very little say in the matter.
I think if there is a market for Susan Boyle then there must be market for Sam Bailey but Simon has decided other wise. I'm actually quite surprised that the show is still so popular and the public are still so gullible.
