Dog-amoto Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 I don't really watch this except for the initial auditions where people are laughably bad or think they're better than they are and end up in tears which is piss funny. Anyway the girlfriend is watching right now and I'm having my ears raped at this very moment Anyway, use this topic to laugh at/rant at the people on the show.
Cube Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 Last year was great - two of the worst singers in existence made it into the final with some kid who noone remembers and the great Rhydian.
Daft Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 I also only watch the auditions. Just to see people's dreams destroyed. Especially fun when they are completely disillusioned. I'm a soulless monster though.
Dog-amoto Posted August 16, 2008 Author Posted August 16, 2008 Oh yeah, the ones who come in with a sob story make me laugh too. "My boyfriend was killed last year in a car crash when the car he was driving ploughed into the hospital where my 3 year old brother with leukemia was being treated and I'm doing this to get a better life for our son who's got Downs Syndrome and piles" Cue the shitty music in the background, the begging to the judges and the obligatory tears when they cave in and let them through
Strider Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 I loled at those two muppets singing 'Never Gonna Give You Up'. I think they were serious.
Paj! Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 I loled at those two muppets singing 'Never Gonna Give You Up'. I think they were serious. I don't get what goes through people like these heads...I mean, only one of the two actually sang, so why was it a 'group"? The other, moronic looking one just badly imitated what sounded like a jamaican accent for a few "Oh"'s and "Ah"'s.
Haden Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 I loled at those two muppets singing 'Never Gonna Give You Up'. I think they were serious. Highlight of the show so far. The loser guy just standing there going "oh yeh" etc and repeating lines in a fake Jamaican accent was hilarious
Retro_Link Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 Holly Willoughby is the X Factor highlight for me! Love her!
Gizmo Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 God damn I hate this show. I get my parents sitting in the next room (which has no door inbetween and only a very primitive wall - it's basically an open area) watching it, and even with my massive headphones on I can still hear the shit seeping through.
Coolness Bears Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 I don't really watch it as it's not very interesting (except for the bad ones at the start ). The only reason I'd watch it: :p
jayseven Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 I loled at those two muppets singing 'Never Gonna Give You Up'. I think they were serious. Dude, they were totally not serious. I'd bet any money on that. They could barely keep a straight face! ... But yeah, i just like the auditions.
Mr_Odwin Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 When the auditions end and it goes into the studio and gets all serious I'll switch to Strictly Come Dancing. I'm married, so I'm allowed to enjoy such Saturday night drivel.
Owen Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 It's all fake, i should know..i've done it. Such a great editing job they do..it's unreal.. Very clever..shame they never tell anyone that you have to go through about 4 auditions with producers before seeing the judges..and that they don't put through the amazing singers...and that they tell you to wear the same clothes so it looks like it was the sameday. It was a laugh though, got me out for a couple of days..and i saw Arsenal Stadium and the O2 Arena which i've never been too!

I've been meaning to read Ben Elton's Chart Throb as my g/f says its so funny and insightful into how such a reality show is run.
somme Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 I only watch the audition phase as well as it's quite comical and interesting to see the people who can sing...only to later hear they've one and have been forced to sing in a style they really didn't want to. Ah well, shouldn't go on Xfactor, do it the real way.
EEVILMURRAY Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 I don't really watch it as it's not very interesting (except for the bad ones at the start ). The only reason I'd watch it: :p I only saw that chap in the live show, which I wonder how he got that far in the first place. What's weird is how the audience were booing him and chanting Off Off, and as soon as Simon started agreeing with them, they boo him and actually seem happy when he gets through.
