Bee Gees Robin Gibb says X Factor is just about money
Bee Gees star Robin Gibb has blasted the X Factor, branding the show a "glorified advert".

Gibb, 58, said the TV music contest was about making money, not finding talent.

He said: "These people are chosen from nowhere. They are told what to sing, how to dress and behave. They're puppets, not musicians. They are simply a product.

"It's about making money for the people behind the show, not musical talent."

Gibb has sold 110million records. He spoke out after Noel Gallagher called judge Dannii Minogue "talentless".

He's got a point.
None of the contestants have released unique music that makes them stand out. They are just puppets, a product, and they have little creative input. I'd hate that.

No doubt that Leona fans are gonna attack him for it.

All Simon Cowell is bothered about is lining his pockets. He commands so much money from these shows.
