I have been switching between Sports Personality and X Factor...Haven't saw much of the series, but the bit that I saw tonight I would say the wrong person won..
I definitely watched SPOTY. Sadly, like the BBC, its woefully gone down hill. More on the celebrity rather than the sport. Shocking ...... and it was the wrong winner. Like Murray last year, Hamilton has the personality of a sloth
Get up off your sofa and go support your local live music scene instead of watching a fixed and manipulated TV lamentable 'talent show' that's slowly contributing to the death of the real music, real talented musicians create and produce music that has been written by them, with their instruments by their own talented hands. It's not a place where manufactured tanned & whitened teeth group of wanabees walk into a conference room and choose 12 tracks that an actual musician has written, then get the lyrics, learn the lyrics and sing the lyrics, make a stash of cash, destroying and trace of where their music really came from - I hate these type of shows - as much as I hate watching TV
Ditto There are some cracking local musicians around. Didn't know x factor was on tonight but wouldn't watch anyway. It reps everything that's wrong with the music industry. Processed, purile and piss-poor
Belter. Couldn't agree more. Apart from a bit of sport, news and a good HBO (or other) series from time to time telly is ****e. It is awash with x factor type, celebrity-wannabee shows which i despise and are a drag on humanity. Promoting how to be a selfish, talentless ****er all your life and getting away with it can't be a good thing, except for trashy publications and cronie record producers.
Can I just add. If you can't afford to go out and enjoy your local music, watching X Factor is not an acceptable alternative

X Factor Pop Idol ****, pushing no-hopers into a position of employment off the back of a sob story. Some people are born to lose, it's a shame that they choose to do it so spectacularly in front of millions of tv viewers. Music will change direction time after time, Cowell's just milking it for what he can whilst riding the crest of a wave, fair play to him.
Pete Waterman proved that. Only problem is, it's like an outhouse, clear out one load of **** and instantly set about replacing it with another load of ****.
I'm not sure I've ever been alive through an era where chart music was the best music though mate, ever since I've been into music from a young age, I've liked the older stuff (My brother always had on Bob Marley and The Wailers, which I enjoyed a lot) and nowadays, I listen to a lot of older or underground/unsigned artists. It kills me when a great track gets released in the charts, it's murdered by Capital and Radio 1 in the space of a couple of weeks, overplaying it then it gets covered by some hippy-gimp with an acoustic guitar.
Agreed with everything. Don't listen to much radio now. I like to embark on my own voyage of discovery by exploring the genre which is taking my fancy at the time. Can't be doing with mainstream broadcasting telling me what to like. Hate things being forced on me. [video=youtube;BPHnT-hkzKo]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPHnT-hkzKo[/video]
It's like the dog one I showed you a few months ago I remember rewinding that part on family guy hundreds of times with my best mate, just sat there in hysterics watching it over and over again.
