Jedward have no discernible musical talent but they certainly had more X Factor than most of the other contestants.

Surely the difference there, JK, is that the likes of Led Zep and Beatles wrote their own music and brought some originality to the music scene. X Factor uses old songs which have often been done to death and doesn't really move music forward at all.
Channel 4's Orange Unsigned Act is the best of the talent shows, focusing on bands who do write their own material, both electric and unplugged. Unfortunately it's never shown at peak time. I found it purely by chance but enjoyed it immensely.
