I ended up at the pub with my Dad and my cousin last night.Yeah I have to agree with points in this post. A lass who was on my course at college auditioned for BGT and she used a sob story about how she had her kid took off her and she had a hard life etc. Apparently she got past the first stage where you get judged by randoms and got onto the stage where you get judged by the main judges and in front of the audience and she sung and from videos people have shown me she can't sing like at all she sounds like a fog horn. I don't believe they actually showed her on TV which is a shame as the way she went on about not getting through and saying that she was mint got on all our nerves so I wanted to laugh at how bad she was.
The main reason why I don't watch it is because they have no morals at all. I know it's the case with the X Factor, so I suspect it's the same with BGT, but there is a pre-audition stage before people reach the celebrity judges in the televised auditions. What annoys me about this is that whoever deals with the pre-auditions quite clearly send through rubbish acts who have a snowball's chance in hell of winning, or even making it past the audition stage, to make an absolute mockery of themselves infront of the public, and even worse, on television, leading many people to laugh at them for being rubbish. Now, where is the morals in that? There isn't any!
Also, they send through some people who aren't fully there in the head, shall we say, building their hopes up only to be let down and made an absolute mockery of themselves infront of the judges and audience. Again, where are the morals? It's just not right in the slightest! Fair enough, if we take Susan Boyle for example, everyone thought she was a little deluded, but she's done fantastically well out of the show as she is one of few actually good acts that have come out of the show. Now that, I don't mind at all, but as for the rest of it, it basically insults people's intelligence!
On the X Factor as well, if you listen very carefully, you can tell whether people are going to get through or not, as they have some form of computerised voice enhancement feature, or something like that, so more or less rigs and fiddles the whole competition.
So, how long is it until the X Factor starts? I can temporarily stay in the living room on a Saturday night for now.
My other reasons for hating BGT and X Factor is some musicians work incredibly hard for year to get people to notice there musical talent and now we get people who sing once to some judges then end up on TV with millions of viewers for 10 weeks and get there moment of fame after doing little work whatsoever, it sickens me.
Also I saw the first hour of BGT last night and I thought it was a pile of garbage.
X Factor usually starts around July I think.
