Who the hell watches crap like The X-factor or Strictly come dancing?

So I am assuming here that you loathe any singer from the present and past that didnt write their own stuff?

Are you telling me that a Bob Dylan, an early Bowie or even Lou Reed could have developed on this show?

I loathe this show because it is 100% fake. You need to listen to the opinion of Simon Cowell to buy a record? You are fake too. Have fun with the "Heroes" charity single. It is immoral and against what any Bowie fan believes in.

where does all this anger you have come from? all of it really from a tv show?

I said nothing about needing the opinion of Simon or any other judge to help me choose who I like or dislike. When the show is over I don't go out and buy any albums from the contestants and I don't even listen to them anymore but it doesn't matter, at the time its nice to listen to. Who cares if those singers of the past could have developed on this show, thats the past. Thats not what its about, its about exposure and getting yourself known to the public so when its over you can make your own music and become an artist.
I just dont see how a show with real people on it just singing is fake there IS nothing to fake. take it for what it is, there isn't some huge conspiracy to bring down the music industry like you would like to believe.
