X Factor USA

[Rapidfire]

In my opinion the X factor is really good for finding new artists, and people who don't have a place to start there music career. I feel like it is really one golden ticket to everything any rising star wants. The preservation and hard work pays off as soon as they hit that stage. All the feelings rushing through your head, and heart must feel absolutely amazing. That is why I think the people who make it through the X Factor are absolutely amazing, and strong. That is exactly why I wanna hear what people wanna think about the X Factor.

^ Can you add something more to a post though next time? Not warning for first time stuff, but I made it a rule because people were dropping just a video and kthxbye. Thanks. : D

We have an X Factor show where I live too, but the winners never make it far and you stop hearing from them after a few months.D: I don't even know who won the German editions.O_o
But it's a bigger thing in the US obviously and I always hear people say that this candidate here made them cry. So I guess there are memorable moments, which is the reason why I watch casting shows sometimes.

And this was pretty touching. I didn't like her voice too much although it has a husky sound, but seemed a little thin to me.
Still, you could sense her feelings and it seemed like she was crying.o_o

I guess I'm more used to the British version. I'm not sure where I am on the X Factor, but they were responsible for One Direction. Ew. Of all things, it was just a commercial move (considering they all failed their individual auditions, and only were put into group for girl appeal).

Then you have people like Aiden Grimshaw and Rebecca Furgurson who have these really distinctive sounds and genre styles.

Is it a one-way ticket? Absolutely not. If you're looking for global superstardom, don't even think about it. You might receive acclaim as a more recognised artist, but you'll never really launch off (unless you're One Direction). It's a shame, because there's a lot of talent. But music is forever tainted with commercial appeal.

I dressage because Olly Murs made it, Cheir Lloyd made it, and Kelly Clarkson was discovered on American Idol which is not to different.

Olly Murs is still only popular in the UK. Cher Lloyd is only popular because of some other guy from X Factor USA or something, but she might see more attention after re-releasing her album in the USA.

Kelly Clarkson was an exception simply because she has an amazing voice either way. It is true that shows like this do occasionally pump out strong acts, but it's pretty rare.

Yeah, it's a good show in this tough industry but it can be just as harsh.
