In the past few weeks I have noticed that X Factor is getting much interest from the public, but in our house it has not been on for more than a few minutes.

All it seems to do is feature droning singers. Yes, that is what it is all about I hear you say, but honestly, the radio is already solid with nasal, shouty and bland modern singers - and this is what is popular on these shows. They all seem to sound the same, with each new 'star' lasting around a year before fading. These singers/songs were playing at McDonalds on Saturday and it was making my food go down in lumps. Far too screechy.

If I saw someone come on with a truly sweet voice (like karen Carpenter) or even play a dulcimer or lute and add an extra sparkle to their performance I would take notice, but as it stands I have lost interest in hearing more of the same.

What are your thoughts?
