Four million viewers down on last year. I wonder why... :rolleyes:

I like Little Mix singing Cannonball but kind of did and didn't want them to win.

Four million viewers down on last year. I wonder why... :rolleyes:

I for one didn't enjoy it so much because of a) the judges and b) I didnt feel the contestants were as strong as in previous years. Idk what it lost but something seemed different this year and it just wasn't the same

Little Mix are okay though and I'm happy for them!

The fact that the "judges" are a bunch of nobodies?
The repetition week upon week?
The generic sob stories?
The petty, childish remarks from one "judge" to the next?
Gary Barlow's shameful attempt at imitating Simon Cowell?

The possibilities are endless...

How are the judges nobodies?
Kelly Rowland was part of a successful girl band and had chart toppers here.
Louis Walsh has been on the X Factor for years.
Gary Barlow is part of one of the UKs popular boy bands.
And Tulisa is part of a popular group.
So you're wrong.

Personally I loved the new judges. It was nice to have some fresh people who actually know about the music industry, instead of Simon who just repeats the same lines.

Kelly Rowland's career is just about over so she's clutching at straws to stay popular. You don't hear anything about Louis Walsh. Gary Barlow is probably the most popular but he's got a terrible attitude. Tulisa is a chav.

When you think back to the good old days of Sharon Osbourne, you can really see how much it's gone downhill.

You say Kelly Rowland was clutching at straws to stay popular and then talk about the good old days of Sharon Osbourne?! Lmfao.

I think there's a huge difference between a second-rate "celebrity" and Sharon Osbourne. Not only is she hugely successful herself in terms of being a TV host, businesswoman and judge, she's gained yet more fame through her relationship with Ozzy.

How can you call Kelly Rowland a second rate celebrity yet claim Sharon Osbourne is "hugely successful"? The only reason Sharon became famous in the first place was because of Ozzy, and she only because a TV personality after being on the X Factor! Without the X Factor most people wouldn't know who she is, yet a lot of people would know Kelly without being on the X Factor!

Sharon Osbourne did many shows prior to the X Factor and is a massive businesswoman. All you need to do is take a look at the Wikipedia page... I had no idea who Kelly Rowland was before the X Factor. I suppose if you're a Destiny's Child fangirl then you'll know her!
