The X Factor brings out lots of different kinds of genres and gives people of all types a shot at making a living. Its the show itself that chooses the songs the people sing, so its not like they can write their own songs and perform them.
But at the same time, honest bands have no television coverage. These people bring nothing new except a well trained voice? Okay great, they have a chance to perform in broadway or a new boyband. And yet the music lover has to be deprived of proper music from bands that take the care to write interesting new material.

A decent music programme can give proper bands the ability to survive too. And yet you would rather focus on a bunch of prima donnas with all the stage lights? Pathetic. It is karaoke for a class of chavs that have aspirations and need to be voted for by other Chavs. Intelligent people, need pay no part. It also tells you that the UK is done.
