IF Simon didnt want the show to become a joke then why was Louis Walsh on it for so many years? No Louis means no Jedward and no Wagner,

I feel as though Louis and Sharon, and to an extent Cheryl and Dannii, largely owed to the success of the show because they were entertaining enough to create memorable moments outside of just watching every-day people sing. But judging panels in later years didn't interact as well and weren't nearly as entertaining enough to keep the show alive.

I've heard that Ben Haenow is doing some Theatre work, and Matt Cardle had done a few Independent Albums that had done okay.

Surprise.

Whilst I don't disagree that some were treated badly, Steve is just bitter and twisted.

They hated his Music that much?

I think ITV should do a farewell TV special with the funniest and best people returning. Do it like “X Factor Class of 2005, 2006, 2007 etc”

The Voice over here has produced quite a lot of chart material


Maan for example biggest success right now, still trending, current (this year a HUGE no.1 hit with music in dutch, and keeps being in the picture/gossip if she'll represent netherlands at eurovision for quite a few years now but she wanted to discover her real artistic/musical direction first)


O'G3NE well after their dominant Voice win, a 11th place at eurovision 2017, most of their music is produced by their father Rick Vol, and even during the pandemic they had very successful livestream concerts which was attended by many over 100 or 200k people, not for free either but livestream ticket had to be purchased on their site



Duncan Laurence, quarter finalist at the voice, and winner of eurovision 2019


Bart Brandjes in one of earlier series of the voice, made the semi finals, and after the show signed a deal with motown records in the US


we also have attracted some big name singers to take part, such as Dilana (whom is famous from having been on Rockstar: Supernova)



even the voice senior is more or less successful for reviving careers from elderly music legends, has beens whom still sound pretty good at time of audition, and still a nice one for them to shine near the end of their lives basically, just few last performances to entertain the public

It should have ended when Little Mix won really, that was the last year it was genuinely good to watch.

The two eliminations a week really killed it though, people weren't given the chance to get behind somebody and have the fanbase grow like it did for the likes of Little Mix who slowly won people over.

[Mystic Mock]

I kinda saw this coming because it had gone so bad.

However I can't believe that the last ever series was a Celebrity version.

Technically the last ever Series was The Band.

Oh god I forgot that even existed.

This is only news to me because I thought the show was already axed.

Is this an example of the Mandela effect? Because I am utterly convinced X Factor was cancelled in 2019??

I think it went on hiatus and they replaced it with the celebrity version.

Whereas now he's officially cancelled it.

It was cancelled for me after show 1 of first series, never watched one episode since and so glad it gone ! should have been axed many years ago.

[Strictly Jake]

Been watching quite a few clips this evening iconic funny auditions. Best performances etc as well as the funny clips from Sharon etc and I have to say I'm gonna miss the X factor. But that's due to nostalgia of when it was good. The last few series of it were garbage so if it carried on it would have just been like that anyway. I'm gonna start watching all the old series on YouTube as all the episodes are on there

How are people forgetting Olly Murs, he’s a coach on the voice and has had major success here in the U.K., probably third most successful here behind little mix and 1D.

He’s managed to bag TV presenting roles as well as do well musically

Olly Murs and Rylan have been so successful and a lot has to do with likability and charissma.

I Love Rylan so much on Strictly: ITT, more than at BB/CBB comes across much more natural

my dad also likes him

[Niamh.]

hadn't watched it in years anyway, I think maybe since Matt cardle won, whenever that was

[Marsh.]

You're glad a show you watched one episode of 17 years ago is axed?
