Minor thread revival but just wanted to say that Peter Kay is SUPERBLY sending up the whole X-Factor thing on Channel 4... catch it on C4+1 if you're not watching it already...

don't know why im here! i stopped watching x factor last year and read this thread to see what i was missing.. i made it past the first paragraph
thanks nick for your efforts though! hehe
The show last night was great, still not sure if Peter Kay was actually doing the singing or mimeing, it sounded better than most of the people on x-factor
If miming is fine for the olympics then I guess that X Factor can do it...
I thought the Peter Kay show was utter tripe
I'm not trying to start a flame war or be awkward or nuffink but this seems the right place to make the following statement:
I like X Factor.
I think it's entertaining, emotional and fun. And Cheryl and Danii are well hot.
I'll go back up the chimney now .
Just don't bring me any X-Factor DVDs for xmas okay santa?
/me hates X-Factor.. too many bad singers that people say are good *shudders*
Nick, you have the perfect sob-story.. you used to work for Sainsbury's...
/violins.....

Aaaaaand I agree.
It passes the time, it's easy to watch, the complete morons who enter are entertaining and out of 50xxx people there's at least two or three who have a voice that makes you take notice. This year is that group of lads (YTS?) and the girl who was in it 3 years ago.
Cheryl - yes, twice
Danii - no thanks
I don't watch the X-Factor other than a couple of really bad one posted on YouTube so I don't have much of an opinion on that, but I can see an argument for that quote.
It's not about congratulating someone for meeting the minimum expectation, or seeing it as something to aspire to, but about congratulating someone for improving, and see if that would result in a positive reinforcement. Sort of like giving a kid who constantly fail a pat on the back for finally getting a D.
In short, the carrot approach.
Who's up for entering next year - at each location they go to and singing Rick Astley until forcibly removed?
could be a good way to raise money for cancer research
the person should also do it wearing a mankini
"holds up a tenner to the person entering"
