Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
Ghostsammeo I only started watching Xfactor last year, and then mostly only the auditions. This year (2010 Xfactor) was different.I was like all the other haters out there, believing it to be some stupid money-making scheme by Simon Cowell which shames terrible singers then praises slightly better singers. This year I found myself mistaken. The auditions are still the same, it's just the audience laughing at bad performances (don't get me wrong I'm not saying it's bad to laugh at some freaky old lady screaming down the microphone) but this time, when it came to the live shows, I actually liked the contenders. Not only could they sing well like I believed no-one really could on the Xfactor, most seemed to have nice personalities, only shown further on back-stage shows like Xtra factor. You can choose your favourites which would for me be the good singers with good personalities, and then choose your most hated. (Some one you just don't like the look of or a bad singer, it's your choice) and then from then it's listening to them sing and hoping your favourite stays in. It can get tedious and boring at times, I often left half-way through once my favourite act had performed, but it's much better than I expected. It may just be this year, maybe next year it'll be packed-full with boring generic singers. Either way I know I'll have to check it out at least.
sglrml I simply don't understand how anyone could possibly find this show in any way successful. How can people stand for the auditionees being abused by the judges? I may be no expert but I don't believe that someone should be allowed come onto the show with some false hope or dream in their head and then be punished for it. Aren't they human beings too? Is it right that the judges can laugh at their performance and then criticise them for making some effort? Quite simply if people like Simon Cowell are going to be allowed to insult other people like this, then I don't know what the world's coming to. Just because a person is idle or boastful about 'having the X Factor' is it right for judges to display a similar type of behaviour? Is this a way of saying that other people don't have feelings the same as anyone else? In any case not all the auditionees behave like that and I don't believe that they should be hurt in such a cruel way.
Paul Barber (budvar99) Welcome to the world of karaoke, If you are a 14 years old female you will like and believe that what you see is entertaining, for the rest of us its the same old tripe that we have got used to for the last five years. No I don't watch it (it's just hard to avoid all the hype in the media).In my opinion the voting can be rigged and then the shows screaming host pretends that the "public have .............(long pause)........decided" when the "winner" has already been chosen. But keep on voting as many times as you like (hummm isn't that illegal....vote rigging anyone) the production company really needs your votes err money.Forgive me if I am wrong but I always assumed that judges have to be independent with no attachments to the contestants. Enough said.
Jackson Booth-Millard We had seen Popstars (The Rivals) and Pop Idol, we thought that could be enough, but no, there was another one. The only thing that's close to all of them is the involvement of National Television Award nominated Simon Cowell. With him are Westlife's manager, Louis Walsh and Ozzy Osbourne's manager and wife, National Television Award winning Sharon Osbourne. When I started watching the actual show, it was really good. The contestants worked really hard, and the one's that didn't put in enough effort eventually left. The best singers are always left to last, and it becomes really hard to choose the winner. But personally, it's the auditions that are the highlight. Some become really successful and deserve to go through, but the best ones are the bad ones. So far the show has had winners Steve Brookstein, Shayne Ward and Leona Lewis, but other acts that were discovered have become successful as well, such as G4, Journey South, Maria Lawson, Brenda Edwards, Andy Abraham and Chico. It won the National Television Award for Most Popular Entertainment Programme. Simon Cowell number 33 on The 100 Worst Britons (for being mean), he was number 67 on The 100 Greatest Sex Symbols, and he was number 28 on TV's 50 Greatest Stars, the programme was number 14 on The 100 Greatest Funny Moments for Robert Unwin singing The Bee Gees' Tragedy and then Aqua's Barbie Girl, and it was number 19 on The 100 Greatest TV Treats 2004. Very good!
