Oh...and it's not just an entertainment show. It's one mans clever scheme to mould (mold?) the style and quality of British music and destroy the chances of good bands with real musicians being heard. Since the whole thing started music has taken a downward turn and it's much harder to find a good new band or song.

 

i sympathise and somewhat agree with your views. but this particular comment, which i've bolded, is utter shit.

I must agree with Sloop John.

It's never been easier to find and follow unsigned or non-chart artists.

T'interweb you know, it's not just porn.

in your opinion of course.

 

95% of mainstream music is shite. It'll be something you grow out.

 

again.. your opinion.

 

To be fair to him though, his opinion is correct, well it is if you upgrade it nearer to 99% anyway!

Nobody's opinion is correct.

Given that 14yr old girls control the singles charts, and middle aged women control the album charts and they buy the shit produced by Cowell I think it's easier for people to manufacture a bland product, the likes of which are popular on those things than it is to invest in an artist with genuine originality and talent.

 

I agree.

 

The fact that your first sentence is true makes your last sentence impossible.

 

If Simon Cowell invested in an artist with genuine originality and talent then the people that complain about how shit the charts are would steal that music (or spotify/grooveshark it) rather than buy it and he'd have failed in his job. He supplies music for people that buy music (more specifically, singles), and the only people left that buy music are kids with pocket money, women who fancy the singer and men over 60.

 

If Cowell were to push a band like (say) OOIOO with the fiull force of his marketing department, he'd struggle to get them in the top 10.

While I hate X-Factor, I quite like that other one, Must be the Music? Had some decent artists on. None of this Cowellesque manufacturered shite, but "proper" bands. Plus currently its not trying to make our eyes and ears bleed with months of airtime.
