They always say "Never change a winning formula". So It is odd to see how much the X Factor has changed this year.
Gone are the cosy intimate auditions done in front of a camera crew and the four judges, instead replaced by performing to 2500 people in an arena making the show virtually indistinguishable from Simon Cowell's other hit show Britain's Got Talent.
Also gone are the unaccompanied auditions instead replaced by full backing tracks making it harder to work out if the singers really are that good.
Gone too are the judges disagreeing about contestants. Now every judge seems to vote yes or no in unison.
And with all this somehow, and don't ask me why, the X Factor has gone from the show too. perhaps it is time to switch to Strictly Come Dancing ?

Is this all people have to worry about ?
In case some people have forgotten, Strictly Come Dancing is an entertainment show with no prize money or million pound contract at state, it is simply an entertainment show.
Yet to hear the fuss on TV and radio today, anyone would think that it is more significant than the credit crunch.
To top it all off, the BBC had some woman on TV and radio this morning who was one of those who complained. She said that she didn't usually ever vote, but this week she had but "she probably wouldn't watch the final next week because it had spoilt her entertainment". When the radio reporter asked her wasn't she taking it all a bit too seriously, she responded with "oh, the show is just a bit off fun".
Exactly, you stupid cow, so what go on to radio and TV to object to it and then say you wouldn't watch it next week ?

It's political correctness gone mad !
Be careful not to mention any country or anyone anywhere in the world for fear these days of being moaned about or called a racist.
you do have to wonder a bout these serial complainers who like nothing better than to watch entertainment shows on TV and then phone up to moan about them.
I can't be bothered to explain the story in full, but apparently Arlene Phillips, a judge on the BBC's "Strictly Come Dancing" show, made reference to two dancers looking like "poles (as in metal poles) from Poland," and thirty two people phoned up to complain.
You can read the whole story HERE, but it does make you weep.
