They perform the most popular songs to the largest audience, thats why its in our living rooms. Bands that would be more acceptable to one as refined as you also do talent shows Miles, they just arent on TV.

You told me some 'facts', I asked for evidence. Obviously you don't have any. The bands I like are not on TV because of this horrid shell called X factor. It is there because stupid people would rather watch other dull stupid people.

Fuck me you've become a twat of late.

Can we arrange someone to give Miles a cuddle?

And you've posted so little I have hardly even noticed who you are. It's not nice to call someone a twat though, but I will let it go.

Im busy watching x-factor alright!

I don't see a problem with the show tbh. It can act as a platform for people who have good voices but just never got the break. The thing that gets on my nerves about the show is the excessive media coverage. Do I care that a 17 year old had a breakdown? Or that 2 twentysomethings slept together in a house? No. I also despise how seriously some people take these shows, I mean come on, Cheryl Cole gets death threats for sending a girl home? A girl that since then has been told she's in this country illegally and is on the verge of deportation. Some people do need to get their priorities right if they allow themselves to become so consumed by television.

I don't really see a problem with watching the show to enjoy people singing some classic songs. They don't half murder them sometimes mind, but there's little else on the television so why not? I don't need Simon Cowell to tell me what music to listen too, like I said I don't buy anything connected with the show or vote, I just watch every week for some enjoyment. I can understand why some people are opposed to it, but it shouldn't be a slight against some of the contestants, some do have good voices and not everybody can produce some meaningful, important lyrical masterpiece. The majority of the artists that currently make up the charts these days don't write their own lyrics

Agreed mate. I also hate how Cheryl Cole get's lauded in the media for constantly putting on a brave face. There's nothing remotely brave about it at all. It's just what she looks like. ;D

Anyway, I don't see why I have become a twat. I have simply stated what I think about a TV show. I don't think it's a big deal. If people want to argue and debate this then I will, but I don't see the need to call someone a twat. Anyway, if someone insults me then they will get it back. But I never want to attack first. That's all. If someone swings I will swing back.

Miles it started as an I dont like x-factor post but turned into your an idiot of you do post.

You think your wife is dull and stupid?

That probably says a lot about your problems mate ;)

See, that didn't make any sense Memphis. But I think I read between your typos. I make them all the time.

When it comes to this programme, I hate it. And I cannot respect people who watch it with any seriousness. It is cheap and serves no more than a rudimentary public service.

The country is broke because too many watch this crap rather than thinking for themselves.

Wagner is a legend that is all.

Not really. She organises my entire life. I'm the dull guy with all the thinking going on. ;)

X-factor is shit -end of. I can't believe this is ending as "oooh miles, x-factor" is okay it's just that's you don't respect your wife. Absolute bollocks.

Crappy TV show, for boring twatty middle aged people and their kids.

Miles, surely you read the number of threads on here from posters who watch these tv shows. So when you are making broad statements like all people who watch them are dull and stupid, have to realize what it is suggesting? Then get surprised when people push back a bit...and then play the victim card? I'm beginning to think you are trolling now, or losing the plot.

I've watched Strictly Come Dancing, but, I would tune in and watch absolutely fuckin anythin that featured this fine lady. The filthy eastern euro chic hair is just on the money to finish.....
