I've stopped watching it.
When people have posted on this forum about certain contestants I have sometimes checked them out on YouTube or the X Factor website, but I don`t watch the programme.
It is too contrived and an insult to viewers intelligence I think. Too many artificial set-ups.
And this year, from what I have seen in clips it is a very poor standard.
Terrible singing and shouting from the back of a strangulated throat.
