Music: Can we have the 'X-Factor' alternative version?

I don’t watch the X-Factor anymore. I used to, as it made me laugh when the 'first-rounders' were informed quite bluntly by Simon Cowell - 'you can't sing'. Sometimes they would get in a huff and storm off. That doesn’t seem to happen so much now, I wonder if they told him to tone it down?

So let’s discuss the voices of the X-Factor. Sure, they sound good but can you really distinguish one voice from another? I’m referring to the voices that make it to the final EIGHT. I don’t want to put these people down in the least, they can sing, there's no doubt about it but where have all those interesting unique vocal sounds gone?

Could you imagine an 'Alternative X-Factor’ with some additional rules?

‘Your voice must be unique enough to be discernible from everyone else’s.’

I think Andrew Eldritch, Roger Waters, John Lydon would do rather well on this show if they were not famous already.

Would Roger Waters get past this first round with his "Don’t Leave Me Now"? I think not! The sheer emotion that he puts into this song is what sends those chills down my spine and makes me listen. I’m not sure if this would count to those judges.

You may love or loathe John Lydon, the former Sex Pistols frontman but again - no chance on the X-Factor. He's out of tune, deliberately sometimes but listen to "Open Up" - Leftfield and Lydon. He just makes this pounding beating song great and that final line with his exaggerated line 'Down, into the grooooooound' is sublime!

Could you imagine Andrew Eldritch (Sisters of Mercy) dressed in his all black clothing auditioning in front of the judges with that crazy voice that has? He may well scare them to death before he opens his mouth!

I know my opinions are a little crazy and warped but I think I would watch 'Alternative X-Factor’, at least it would be interesting.

I think a lot of successful singers would not have made it far in such contests as they are looking for something else. I tend not to watch these shows anyway. They do find some new stars, but the music is mostly not interesting to me

Touche - me neither. I really respect artists who write their own material, it somehow makes it all complete. I hate the fact that the X-Factor play the system to make the Xmas number one too. I loved it when Rage from the Machine beat them a few years ago.

Well as i am musician i really want to give audition for the x factor.the famous artist like one direction,john arthur nd many others artists also came from the x factor.
But hope so we can have alternative version of xfactor😃😋

Sadly I don't think this will ever happen, but if you are a musician why not show off you talent here? It will take you a while to find some fans but if you persevere it will happen.

Ur right man.absolutely right.yeah am working on my way through the youtube but i dont have any subscriber so i stop to put my video on youtube.
