Know The 5 Reasons Why Not to Watch the X-Factor

We’ll, we’ve seen quite a lot of talent searches on television but do we really need another one? We know that each of us have God-given talents but do we really have to go through auditioning live on television being subjected to four judges (that later becomes your mentors, in case you push through the competition), with existentially diverse personalities in front of massive crowd? And may the odds be ever at thy favor, as the old saying goes.

Regardless if we unanimously answered to every question propped up above, it seems that the former-American Idol judge Simon Cowell is unstoppable in showcasing America’s own version and franchise of The X-Factor. You might have gasped at the thought of yet another reality-based talent show! But before we even dwell in depth on the five reasons why we shouldn’t attempt to watch the X-factor? Let’s touch-base a bit on the show’s edge from the other talent search in TV; long before its first debut from another franchising country, the American Idol (AI) have established a singing competition. So basically, what set them apart? Well for starters, Simon Cowell, producer and among the four elite judges in the show has been a mainstay from the AI’s first season until the 9^th (a season before X-factor’s launch). Not to mention that the other guy is among the coach that seems to represent a former colleague of Simon on AI, Randy Jackson while Paula Abdul still remained in tight conjunction with Simon as she shifted from AI to the X-Factor. And lastly, they have a sexy female judge that somehow represents J.LO and Kara DioGuardi. So what do we make out of this short yet pretty much jammed info? Nope, X-Factor and AI definitely are different shows.

And so here are the 5 reasons why you should not watch the X-factor:

We have seen shows like these before. Well, this pretty much says it all. If you have missed how Simon Cowell cruelly throws out comments to the kids who audition and other judges forcedly banters each other, then this show’s another delightful one to see.

Over The Top Performance. X-Factor sets in a large stadium filled with a huge number of crowd and so it’s pretty much not an intimate setting. As the show progresses, the judges will turn out to be the contestants’ mentor in both singing something and styling so good luck to that!

A former Pussycat Doll Judge. This does not need any more explanation.

We will have to gulp both the group and children’s performances. Well if they pass that is.  Anyone can get to audition including ages 15 to 28, kids who’re 12 years old and below and groups. I just hope they spare the cute little kids the nasty comments.

Expect to see more from Pepsi. Isn’t it ironic that Pepsi is a full-blown sponsor of X-Factor? If you can’t bear to see any more on how badly Coke and Ford have been exposed in AI, then you might want to try to skip on watching the X-Factor.

With all that being said, I find it unbelievably though that “curiosity-kills-the-cat” still wins and you find yourself tuning in to the X-Factor; regardless if you know the reasons why you should not watch the X-factor.
