The X Factor

The X Factor

My wife and I started to watch the first season of the X factor. My impression so far is that it is a good show. There is plenty of room for both the X factor and American Idol to survive. As good as last season's American Idol was, I did miss Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul. My two favorites are now back on the X factor. Some of the talent shown so far has been very good. My only complaint is that they insist upon showing people who have no business auditioning for the show. This smacks of cruelty to me. Some of the people that audition for the show are so bad that I find it hard to believe that they do not realize this themselves. My only explanation for this is that they must have some kind of mental disorder. I'm sure some the must have friends and family who would be kind enough to tell that they would be making a total fool of themselves by going on these shows. However, these people still keep appearing on shows like American Idol and X factor. I know that having these people on the show entertains a certain sector of the audience. However, I do not feel that it is right to laugh at people don't realize how bad they are themselves.
