Lost People Part I

After months and months of shouting at my mum whilst she watches X-Factor, dancing on Ice and other brain damaging drivel. I was thinking, Am I alone, does anybody else do this or just hate these 'reality' programmes.

After numerous conversations with the Black Whale and loathing with Sir David of Laley. I realised that my two closest mates were that for a reason.

X-Factor is designed to find future singers of this country and start a blossoming career which will see a once dinner lady performing in front of thousands. The idea seems good. Bringing the country's talent out of the woodwork. Allowing them to work alongside some of the biggest selling artists in the world. How can they fail?

Well, that's the whole point. These 'nobodies' are watched for months, engraved into the viewer’s minds. Stories to make you weep (if you have the emotional age of a 3 month old kitten), songs to make you go "WOW". The contestants are whittled down over the months and months and months and...There’s a winner who has been chosen by the shallow, blind public.

Anyway, I think you know how the show works but once the winner gets their five trillion pound contract. The money has been made from 13 million morons voting for someone who 'lost their best friend when they were 1 year old'. So, they don't need a successful artist. Release one fucked up single that will go to number one and break every record under the sun. Release a cover and let them off on their own because it’s more trouble than it’s worth.

My point is...I fucking hate this programme with every inch of my body and I just wish I was slightly more articulate to put this across, so fuck it I'm swearing.

I have no sympathy for the young lad that's heart has been broken or the previous prostitute with five kids who dream has disappeared. Andy Warhol was on the right lines.

No one has any class, decorum, shame. Well hopefully I'll see them all next Tuesday!

It's degrading and disrespectful to those who actually have talent, they are just pawns in a media freak show for someone else to make a quick buck from.

Whether they make it to the final stages or end up in an auditions out take compilation because they work in a "Chicken Factory" they are all equal, vain, narrow minded and a complete waste of license payers money.

Who needs lyrics or lines or the blatent murdered plagerism of other peoples talent, when all they may as well be singing or shouting, very, very, badly is.....

"Look mummy and daddy, i'm on tv!"

Now where's the fucking remote.

I don't mean to go on about...but I will. I think its a massive kick in the proverbial bollocks to the people who are making an honest living creating music.

Don't get me wrong I'm all for people taking faster routes to where they want to to be but selling yourself out to the extreme that you would use your children as sob story. Well these people can go kick themselves in their own real bollocks because thats just what they are!

P.S - These people say they're doing it for their 'children' who have been deprived. Well if you would have got a job in the first place instead of shagging the world maybe they wouldn't be so mentally scared!
