My interest appeared to die from 2012 onwards based on a hasty check of the winners in that year and thereafterA quick overview says I haven't watched any X-Factor since Fleur East came 2nd, which was a silly result. I have almost no recollection of the previous series and not watched anything after 2014.
I think above all I'd like to see this laughable LADIES' MAN FICTION killed off for once and for all via a few sordid gutter press revealsIt's not that I dislike Simon Cowell, it's just that I'd like to see his cock and balls at the top of a flagpole, while the rest of him screamed at the bottom. Is that too much to ask?

When did the ratings dip start?
Eurovision flop Saaaaraaaaaaalto AGOGIt hadn't produced a STAR in years. Who's the last person from it to have any sort of success? HATEFUL James Arthur? Fleur East (as a radio host sadly)?

Oh didn‘t we all? I couldn‘t find a convenient bin for my empty cans and brown toilet debris and so the stage was quite a handy place to THROW ITLook, i enjoyed watching her on the free stage at a pride event as much as the next gay but I did say SUCCESS.
I don't even think it's that though. The Voice and Project Runway, The Apprentice and America's Next Top Model lasted/have lasted for years and years and years despite never actually producing what they promised, and the ratings did dip, I think people will watch so long as it's entertaining.At core, the notion that there was a new superstar just waiting to be discovered grew more and more suspicious year by year. After a while, you're surely waiting for a new generation to come through.

X Factor was just quite exhausting and had a shelf life.
And it became ever more transparently cynical and joyless.X Factor was just quite exhausting and had a shelf life.
Thank goodness I was too busy disastrously falling for a psychopath that year to think about TV talant shows. If she was the highlight, that must have been a right nasty bag of dog eggs2013 only had Sam Bailey

Was that the one cancelled about two weeks before it was due to start?Did X Factor All Stars actually happen or did I miss that? I remember excitedly sharing my DREAM LINE UP which was almost certainly not reflected in the reality
I think it was more to do with the latter day winners not having anything approaching the all-important and very exciting X FACTOR and being any old one you might hear vaguely trilling Duo Lipo hits behind the till at PoundlandDo we think that the fact that the winner was no longer as-good-as- guaranteed to go to no 1 because of streaming going into the charts was an element? Supermarkets weren't stocking the winning single any more either.
It's hardly a remarkable crown to the series when the winner goes in at no 14.
I've always hated the audition shows, especially since they've been invited by the producers and basically been told they're excellent just so they'll show up and absolutely bomb.The auditions became "ha ha ha, let's all laugh at some folk who can't really sing and a few people who actually need help" and I despised that.

A while since I watched this and I seem to recall it doesn't all quite add up, but I'd be surprised if it wasn't largely true - much of it evidently so.
It boggles the mind. Just give up and retire, surely.WHY? Surely Cowell has loads of money, must be tired of this crap himself and there’s nowhere near the interest anyway.
