X Factor Review
X factor Podcast Review
Hello, I’m Jake Lovington and welcome to this week’s review programme, in which we will be focussing on a talent show called the X factor which many people will definitely know about as it’s a super duper hit worldwide. X factor is a sensational singing talent show in which people who have a passion for singing take part in, other than the fact that there have been various people who auditioned for X factor who certainly do have a passion for singing but I guess they also have a passion for humiliation because they believe that they can sing whereas they clearly can’t and all they do is embarrass themselves on television. X factor has been running since September 2004 and still is, this show is one of the most successful talent shows aired on television which millions of people watch globally. In this season of X factor there are four judges who are Louis, Tulisa, Kelly and Gary. Simon Cowell is not in this season so the contestants have better chances of winning. This show is also in competition with the X factor USA which is also being aired at the moment.
Tonight we will be focussing on a particular episode of X factor which is from last week, Saturday 5th November 2011 and will be focussing on the first 7 performances. The episode was all about ‘floor fillers’ and ‘club classics’ what a bizarre nightspot that was.
It was double elimination in the episode which was a shock to most of the audience as half a dozen acts could have been at risk. First up was the contestant who’s related to every clown in the world Johnny Robinson from Louis’s team who sang the song ‘time goes by’ and in my opinion he sounded just like a chipmunk, all he needed to do was to were some make up and put on a skirt, it would go great with his girly voice. The judges’ opinion was very different to mine. Tulisa said that johnny’s performance was predictable. Kelly had a different view about Johnny’s performance she said ‘Johnny you look like you had a good

    The talent show portion of the show was somewhat boring. I understand that these are only children and they can only do so much, but I still feel as though the producers could have done something to sort of spice things up a little. During the talent show, the audience seemed very bored as they watched some of the children’s talents. People left to use the restroom and take a stretch break during this time and they just did not seem very interested in this portion of the show. Some of the performances were very adorable such as the magic show done by the two little girls, and the songs they sang. Again, I understand that these are young children who can only do so much but I just felt as though the producer and director could have come up with something to keep the audience interested during this…

    Cheryl tends to talk for a lot longer than Piers, which is what can be expected as the purpose is to gain knowledge of Cheryl’s personal life. Cheryl gets interrupted often, which is typical of interviews as Piers is trying to stay on topic. She says ‘that’s what I mean is that/’ before being interrupted by Piers who finishes her sentence with ‘She was judged purely on her singing ability…’ which is a leading question and is almost as if Piers is trying to force Cheryl to respond a certain way, however he does it by being fairly polite, hinting that they have known each other for quite some time.…

    Moreover, trailers were used for the 2015 show the day before the programme had started with teasers of the celeberities who will be participating. This was done throughout the day and the information was controlled. However, they included information about the stars who will appear in this years show. This is effective as it will attract the fans of the stars because they are aware who are the contestants. For example, to name a few Peter Andre, Anita Rani, Jeremy Vine and Gleb Shevchenko were in this years show. This meant that contestants are from different backgrounds, ages and gender, which would attract different audiences as they would be a fan of one of the stars and would want to know the winning couple.…

    The episode focuses on wannabe WAG`s of Manchester and aims to remove their layers and layers of “fakery” and reveal the “natural beauties” within. Colourful contestant Adrienne from Widnes, who describes herself as a blonde Cheryl Cole, bravely subjects herself to the public and “POD`s” harsh criticism and ridicule. The problem is, the Personal Overhaul Device, or POD for short, is responsible for implementing the make-under is a robot or should I say a woman, ironically “pretending” to be a robot. POD is as fake as Adrienne’s hair extensions but insists on insulting poor Adrienne about her lashes, glitter and tan. Bold, Brassy, beach babe Adrienne takes POD`s criticisms lightly and embraces the make-under with both hands. It constantly contradicts itself and there is nothing real or natural about the show. The majority of the show is staged and faked particularly in the pre-make-under shots to ensure the viewers develop a negativity towards her fashion choices. Adrienne’s boyfriend miraculously finds her hair extensions under the sink whilst repairing a leak and the cameras just so happened to have been recording their pre-make-under shots. 100% of the public said they would avoid Adrienne but there’s no comment on how many members of the public were interviewed or how they were chosen. Were they chosen from the nearby library? Or just “randomers” from the high street? I doubt they were all picked from…

    When Susan first appeared on stage, the audience’s faces looked as if they knew she was going to do horrible and they doubted her. When Susan fist got on stage and introduced herself to the judges and audience she said that she said that she dreamed of becoming a professional singer, when she said this the audience began to look at her in confusion and uncertainty. The judges also seemed to be uncertain about whether or not she would amaze them and looked as if they were expecting her to fail. By watching the video you could certainly tell that both the audience and the judges were judging Susan based on her looks rather than waiting for her to perform her act. For example, one of the judges Simon Cowell looked at Susan as if she was lying when she stated that she was 47 years old.…

As a Manchester United season ticket holder, I had the prospect of seeing four games during this two-week break. The second of those games, a Wednesday night Champions League game against Real Sociedad of Spain, was the game during which United had chosen to trial the much anticipated singing section.…
