A message to you, Louis

Due to familial arrangements I have ended up watching X factor tonight. This blog is exactly what you think it will be; a rant about the talent(less) show.

However, this isn't about the show in general. Yes the judges are overpaid and over-pampered. Yes 95% of the people who walk onto that famous stage are terrible singers. And yes, people really should have better things to do with their Saturday night. Though tonight, things reached a new low...

I will set the scene for you, if I may. A Pink tribute artist walks out on to the stage, looks exactly like Pink and sings a Pink song. Her parents are also Tom Jones and Shania Twain tribute artists, but that is completely unrelated. After the song she claimed she had been trying to get away from being Pink and, wait for it (insert 5 minutes X factor style pause here for effect; go and make a cuppa or something) X factor made her sing a Pink song when she didn't want to!

Suddenly millions of people across the UK gasped in horror! We now know the X factor is rigged, as we have always known, and now we have proof! I am going to straight to twitter to be a twit and tweet about this...

But stop right now, thank you very much. I need somebody with a .... never mind I got carried away, but seriously, think about it. Don't X factor edit their own footage? So it is very kind of them to include a potentially secret-revealing moment. Or is it?

It now means from day 1 people will be talking about X factor. All of the time. As people can't wait to tell their friends it is rigged and it all came out, they are talking about X factor. As they go on their Facebook all they see is X factor. X factor. X factor. X FACTOR!!!!

And do you want to know the sad thing? This blog is doing exactly what the incident wanted to do...making people talk and complain about X factor. Wow it annoys me. A lot.
