CringeFactor
11 Answers
Is it just me,or does anyone else sit and squirm, cringe and grit their teeth when watching X Factor? Have they gone too far now with all the tears and the play on sympathy? Has there been a contestant that hasn't bawled their eyes out yet and given a sob story... Don't know if I can watch it again after being an avid fan!

I watch it as I always have, but there are times when a small part of me dies inside.
It's when the terrible singers in the taffita dresses do the old ''oh go on Simon'' with the parents in the background adding ''its her dream'' after making cats run into incoming buses and birds fall from trees I get the feeling I want to play table tennis with my eye balls.

its gone downhill. i cant see any of them lasting very long, can you? when u hear a new song on the radio, they should also give u the sob story too, just so you feel at home
eg, "heres spotty chops new release,
"shes got spots and shes proud" spottys new release con-incides with her skin treatment for acne and at the same time, shes having a new arm fitted after she lost heres in a skiiing trip

I hate it when they all say
"It means everything to me" - Quite shallow be glad for your health and the health of your family !!
If you want ten minutes of fame (if the last three hours of you bawling is not enough) and then disappear for ten months or fall out with Simon or get rubbish people to write you songs then that's fine - if that's all you want you're welcome to it.
Why do the producers put through immature 14 year olds if not for people to sit there and go Aww bless him he's crying - well he's just the same as the muppet from last year who cryed all the time and had an OK voice. There's about two people on there who can actually sing a note and stand there in front of others and sing - thats the important bit - the rest are OK but I don't think there is a "Star" in the final twelve at all. It's too much of the judges wanting to win - when are they going to realise it's not about them !!
It's very orchestrated, viewer grabbing, same as the year before type stuff.
Dont even start me on the purposeful cruel way that they tell them they are staying or going - I was lost half the time as to who was leaving or staying for the live finals, screaming at the TV for them to tell them properly - it doesnt make for good TV it makes you cringe and question your own moral fibre sat there watching people bawl their eyes out because Sharon is cruel to the core - just tell them straight none of this "You're not going to like this, you're going to hate me, you're.......... (Pause for ten minutes)............... going home/staying for another week etc - IT'S WRONG !! How are they going to cope in front of millions on a Saturday night ?
STOP CRYING !!!

Actually - in defence of the programme makers, those excrutiating pauses are simply edited in - they don;t really keep people waiting like that.
Same as the judges' facial expressions while singing is going on - all put in to add the 'cutting' process and keep the programme tight - although ironically, it is used to extend the anticipation when the results are given.
With the multi-million pound budget - could the stretch to a box of Kleenex each for the next series?
Eye thenk yaooouuww!
