RESPECT FACTOR
Watch and cringe
The X Factor is not about
talent and genuinely unearthing a singer who needs a chance; it’s about
exploitation. It’s about cynicism and trite prearranged mock spontaneity. The
latest episode of the situation tragedy saw the backstage camera dwelling on
the faces of the teenage children of dire contestant Alison Brunton who was embarrassing
both herself and her son and daughter in such an excruciating manner you prayed
for her punishment at the hands of the cackling crowd to end.
That X Factor is what it is
and I guess that those members of the public that go onto it in the hope of five minutes of fame should expect a Roman Arena
atmosphere but I found the glee that was taken in the squirming of the two
teenagers was unethical to say the least.
I doubt that the producers
care given that the X Factor is a money making machine and after all, in the
words of Paul Weller “The public gets what the public wants”
