Have they got the X-Factor?
Its that time of year again when the reality TV/Pop show X-Factor rears its head once more in the UK. X-Factor is one in a long line of reality TV shows where members of the public can humiliate themselves on TV for our amusement. We have had Pop Stars, Pop Stars the Rivals, Pop Idol, Fame Academy (BBC) and X Factor, to name a few. When the show first appeared on TV I have to admit to watching it and finding the bad singers funny and occassionally you would get a singer who could actually sing.
Personally the whole reality TV show is becoming a bit tired now, you have to wonder how many times they can regurgitate the same program and people will still watch it. Anyway, I have attached a few clips for you to enjoy.
We are currently looking for nominations for the first GetBuried Award for August 2007. If you have any ideas or suggestions, just post a comment and a link if you have one. At the end of the month, the worst one will win an award.
Kate Nash is one of the new breed tell-it-like-it-is pop stars. Well thats what the review of her Glastonbury performance said. Laughable was another word they used, but lets not go there because people might think ive been eating lemons again.
detects acidity - i.e Lemons. The bitter taste is perceived by many to be unpleasant, sharp, or disagreeable, i.e. coffee and unsweetened chocolate. Okay, Science lesson over.
