This years Xfactor has seen a dramatic drop in its ratings compared to that of this time last year, losing over 2 million viewers. The show topped around 11 million viewers this Saturday. There are alot of contributing factors:
- The fact that twitter and Facebook hate Frankie Cocozza
- The many times groups have been formed and fail.
- The poor performances
- The poor judge decisions.
It got that bad that even the creator of xfactor, Simon Cowel, has phoned the producers to urge them to get things sorted.
What I find has happened to the show is in the name, its lost its xfactor. Louis walsh is the only original judge, Simon Cowel and his comments add to the show, the giving people an extra chance to be a group and then merging groups with groups is just a step too far. Stick to the past series, as the saying goes ‘don’t fix what isn’t broken.’
American Reunion is the 4th and possibly final film of the original American Pie films, which brings back most of all the original cast. From the trailer it seems as though the film will be based around Jims new family, with him and Michelle having a son Evan. IMDB states “Jim, Michelle, Stifler, and their friends reunite in East Great Falls, Michigan for their high school reunion.”
Big thanks to Phillip Defranco for sharing this with the nation, I can not stress how long I have been waiting for them to make this! This takes me back to the days before I had sex, when the quest to find it was so epic.
I was browsing through Facebook last night and a friends Facebook status said:
“It makes me sad that there will be a generation brought up thinking that “All The Small Things” is a fucking Jedward original”
This is a very valid point and is a big problem within the mainstream music industry. I’m 19 and I am able to remember the original version by blink 182, however the above quote is so true, in the sense that younger generation will be ‘brainwashed’ into thinking that its a Jedward song.
Jedward were a crowd pleaser on the X factor but frankly cant do much other than dance around a stage. They choose songs that had very little ’singing’ involved. Now they have been rocketed onto our screens and radios with 2 covers of great songs. Is that all they are capable of?
The same thing has happened with the classic “Don’t Stop Believin” by Journey, which was covered by the Glee Cast and Big Brother 11. I even saw it with my own eyes, people updating their status with things like “it’s way better than the original” WTF!!!1@*# I mean they mascaraed it, but each to their own as they say.
Dont get me wrong I love most mainstream music, some may even call me a sheep, but if its what I like I cant change what my ears like to hear. It is however a sad state of affairs when an annoying duo, who didn’t even win a talent competition, ruin a classic and then the younger generation become tricked into thinking its their song.
After weeks of boring TV debates, loads of election leaflets through my door, the election is finally coming to an end.
This election is unlike many others as the Liberal Democrats seem to be in with a chance, making it a three horse race, but who will be first past the post?? Im not sure, but whoever gets in better sort the country out. The last thing we want is riots like Greece.
This election has hung parliment all over it. Do you think this is a good or a bad thing? Leave a comment with your response.
If you havent already voted get down to your local polling station, most close at 10 P.M.
Let’s face it, if you haven’t yet here’d or seen anything about the UK General Election 2010 you must be lying under a rock in the Sahara desert.
The way I see it is that every single party is the same, they all promise this and that but when they get into power the promises are not fulfilled. Being a first time voter, everything is new to me, Im going to vote with an open mind, I will be voting based on the things I feel effect me, like student tuition fees and the duty on petrol.
What I find very interesting about this election is how the different parties have embraced social networking, by using social mediums such as youtube, facebook and twitter. It seems that whoever manages to blag his way through the TV debates, gains the lead. This is what worries me, people are just basing their vote on who looks the best on TV, without really looking at the policy. The TV debates have reached around 4 million viewers each debate with Nick Clegg ‘winning’ the first debate and David Cameron ‘winning’ the second debate, but the TV debates are very sugar coated.
I’m still un-decided, but no matter what happens on May the 6th, there needs to be a change for good.
Whoooohooooo Britain’s Got Talent is back for 2010 starting this saturday at 8PM on ITV1. No doubt that this year will bring tears and laughter through out the show…I cant wait
Last years winners Diversity were my personal favourites all the way through, they were a very talented group of lads who have now gone on to bigger and better things since winning the competition.
Britain’s Got Tallent has been a major success for ITV and as a result its format is used internationally.
I cant wait to see a bit of Amanda Holden so dont forget to tune in at 8 O’clock sharp tomorrow.
