X-Factor, The (The Best Sci-Fi Theme Tunes) - Various Artists

Advantages: Funny, entertaining, tense, addictive
Disadvantages: The contestants are a little weak

...the 25s and overs. The disappointment at the news is written all over Simon's face - and so it becomes all the more entertaining when he subsequently tries to pretend that he is absolutely thrilled with having had the groups. As entertaining as this was, as a viewer I faced one huge dilemma at the end of the auditions. I did not remember many of the contestants that were put through to the Boot Camp stage. Yes, I loved Penelope. She was so entertaining. But she could not sing a single note. She was certainly not going to make it through to the next round. Other than that I only really enjoyed the tall handsome Sam and boy band "4Tune" that had made it through to the Boot Camp stage in 2004.

Advantages: Very entertaining, controversial
Disadvantages: Political voting, favouritism, big egos, new format, not all the acts you like will go through

...The X Factor, arguably the biggest show on TV at the moment is something that even if you don?t watch is impossible to get away from, it?s one in a long list of talent shows that over the last decade have become hot property since it?s debut in 2004. Since then the X Factor has soared in popularity to become one of the most watched and most controversial shows on television and 5 years on things don?t seem to be slowing down. *** Previous Winners *** The X Factor first began back in 2004 with it?s first ever winner Steve Brookstein who infamously fell out with Simon Cowell and is no longer mentioned within the programme. Steve reached number one in December 2004 and since then has been dropped from his record label.
