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

Miles you are such a ridiculous snob. What is the difference between a "chav" enjoying the show and your wife? They are both watching for the same reason - to be entertained.

David Bowie would have to give permission to use Heroes, no?

I'm bored of it now. Too much hype and controversy for me to really appreciate it.

I just liked listening to people sing but this is on some other level.

I am both pretentious and a snob and I have no qualms with this when it comes to music and taste.

I hate TV shows of this ilk, I don't even regard it as entertainment. I find it offensive and cheap. It is music so watered down and erased of authorship, that it might as well not exist. As far as I am concerned there is no difference between the Queen watching it and the guy next door.

As for Bowie giving permission to use the song, that is unknown, but I haven't read anything of him coming out giving his support. It's not as though you can just block cover versions anyway, if he did it would be stained on him for being an old git who doesn't want to help charity. He knows that, might as well stay quiet.

They have to have permissions to sing the songs on the show let alone record them and release them.

Can you prove that?

Regardless, I argued my point in the last paragraph of my last post. Who wants to be the old miser denying a bunch of spoiled brats the chance to raise some money for charity?

Get a new wife or get earphones.

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.

Do not watch either programme as I have a life.

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.

You think your wife is dull and stupid?

That probably says a lot about your problems mate
