It's all fine and dandy watching good singers, of course - but you've got to have some acts that create entertainment and put on a 'show' and have some personality. Otherwise the whole thing would just be dull! Sure, some people may watch but the large majority, as I have already said, wouldn't. The X Factor is like one big drama, and without the drama people wouldn't watch.

I suppose it depends what you enjoy watching. Some people like the auditions more than the serious stuff because they like watching people make fools of themselves etc. and the light hearted acts. Some people prefer the live shows because they like watching people develop as singers and show off the real talent. Some people enjoy both. I personally prefer the serious stuff.
