This is my main opinion (and gripe) with the show. The music industry isn't in the best place as it is (in my opinion), with highly talented artists and bands doing well a rareity (and I say a rareity, but it still happens from time to time. Look at Adele etc). The X Factor gives them a platform. Instead of having to work to get known (like Oasis, The Beatles, you get my drift), they sing for a few weeks and boom, they become popular. Gone are the days where you see artists and bands working their way to the top, and The X Factor doesn't help that. Discuss.
