Simon says it is a singing competion - that is how it is packaged - there are only singers in the show - no other type of entertainment. It has always been referred to as a talent competition - but many on this site now claim it is an entertainment show. It is a bit of both - but ultimately a talent show?
Opinions please! |

Nah

None of them. It's a 'whoever manages to make people cry thanks to their sob story' show. Just like 99.9% of reality TV shows.

It's a farce now, where Simon's disdain and disregard for the audience is barely concealed. He realises how easily he can manipulate the audience at this stage, which has led him to abandon any credibility that he or the show ever possessed in order to achieve his goal. The show has always tried to brainwash the public but it's gone into overdrive this series with Simon adding to the madness. There was a time when he actually had something to say and I remember I used to applaud him for some of his comments, but now he's turned into a total phoney.

The show has become increasingly flamboyant and dramatic - very Americanised - over the years - attracting a larger teenage audience - who are more interested in image than talent. Simon now appears to have given up the ghost - in order to preserve large audiences (no matter who that audience consists of) simply for ratings and therefore money in the bank for him. Such a shame. Although I didn't necessarily like him - I respected his opinion. But now it seems - we can no longer do that. |

Look, X-Factor is a TV SHOW - it was conceived as a TV SHOW - it is about ratings and advertising for ITV.
It is no more a singing show or talent show as All Star family Fortunes is about giving to charity. |

It's a singing contest. Hell's Kitchen is a TV show, but you can't win it by dancing.

J&E - whether or not people believe they have other attributes - no doubting the fact they can't sing. Therefore on the wrong show. |

Sting was on bbc this am and he said that the trouble with the X factor is the ability to mimic another talent such as Whitney or Mariah is encouraged and the true x factor, which is about having your own interesting, unique sound is discouraged.
so its really just a karaoke, impression show |

It could be a bit of both, right now it's like 75% entertainment, 25% talent, it should be 50/50 at least

Do you think that Miss World is about finding the worlds most beautiful well-rounded woman or is it about checking out some skirt in bikinis?

Its an entertainment show disguised as a singing competition. If it was truly a singing competition then the focus would be on the acts and not the whole panto (silly judges intros, booing etc) as well as having only very good people put through at the producer auditions, and not the likes of her with her dog. If you think ITV care about the winner and what happens to acts after the show then you're sadly mistaken. |
