Im sure, like me, most of us have been tuning into the X-Factor on a Saturday and Sunday night. My X-Factor fix this weekend came on sunday, curtains drawn, feeling very sorry for myself nursing a rather large hangover!
Back to the point, this weeks show saw a double elimination, with Nicolo Festa, and boyband FYD being booted from the competition. This added more wood to the fire of issues surrounding the X-Factor, as some of the general public seem to believe X-Factor has some race discrimination going on. Comments being made even lead so far as to making the assumption that Cheryl had chosen majority white contestants, because Ashley Cole had put her off anyone else. Now really, how stupid IS that!? Can we not believe that perhaps, the lucky chosen few to partake in the live shows, are actually just the more talented people?
How do you feel that X-Factor bosses are dealing with combating these acusations of racism?
Another contestant to hit the headlines, is young Cher Lloyd. At just 16, Cher made news in the papers last week, with headlines such as "X-Factor favourite can't take the strain". Claims have been made that perhaps Cher isn't exactly the most stable person to be taking part in the show, but show bosses have decided that all is well with Cher. Now in my opinion, she is a bit of a nutter, with some pretty pscyopathic faces being pulled throughout her performance! But she does offer something a bit different to the show, with her "rapping", so perhaps X-Factor are just trying to change the identity of the show, from one that produces generic pop stars, who either flop and you never hear of them again (Steve Brookstien, remember him? nope, neither do I) or really do excell, Leona Lewis for example (holding a £5 million record deal), to a show that creates new artists who will actually be respected within the industry for doing something new and different?
Have your say
