X Factor Controversy

[upsticks]

SIMON COWELL: The Most Hated Man In Britain right now?

To sum up: JEDWARD VS LUCIE. GUESS WHAT SIMON CHOSE?

THE WRONG ONE.


GAAAHHHH. *HATE*


Sam Gore: "The Judges are being very inconsisent this year. One minute they say it's about entertainment, then the vocals, then likability. Perhaps when the judges decide what competiton this is, then the public will know how to vote."

Yeah, it is about that. I was thinking it was a talent show but I guess I was COMPLETELY WRONG. I mean, this is SIMON COWELL we're talking about. Simon POUND SIGN Cowell.

Will more people watch it though? Lots of people have realised it's all about the ratings and are planning to protest and boycott and whatever. I don't think it'll be that successful, but I'm interested what it'll do at least.


Haha, man with the... lol. I did read that the main show had some high viewing figures, but the Xtra Factor little spin-off show thing had the highest viewing figures it's ever had, I think because people wanted to "share in the outrage". Still, *sigh*

Well, you know my feelings about this sort of TV already from my own pages ;P

You have to hand it to SC, he really knows how to play the public - bless his wee cotton trooosers.

And yet you mention Simon Cowell in your latest post? :P

He does. I think he's a justified judge but when he's wearing his pound sign goggles, one might think he's evil (or some lesser value thereof).

(I don't know how to use 'thereof' but I wanted to use it, so I have.)

(I think both of those things might also have been very obvious.)

The Simon Cowell bit was for your benefit, G ;)

I wonder, does a man like that ever actually remove said goggles?
The guy makes his living from exploiting other peoples' talents, so I would presume he's constantly got his eye on where the profit is.

(btw, perfectly passable use of 'thereof', I think).

Ah, it did seem a bit out of place, hahaha. I think judging is what he does best, but he's still really annoyed me, like a lot of the nation.

I wouldda thought he'd have to remove the goggles. I mean, he's got to, right? :S Or maybe *that's* why we never see the goggle marks?

Oh, well, you learn something new everyday. Today I used "thereof" correctly. It's a good feeling, haha.
