This is the first year I haven't really watched it, I don't like the new set up. My kids are losing interest as well.

I never watch the X factor. I think it is a wonderful opportunity for those gifted but what puts me off is the rancid put downs of young people. Some of these kids truelly believe they are the next Britney etc and their families make it worse by not being honest with them. They go on X factor and meet the reality that they haven't a hope in hell. Some of these kids reactions at this have upset me in the past where they have been almost ridiculed.

It is awful and even more embarressing when the parent still will not face the fact that the judges know best. I feel so much for those kids. Many parents push like that to live through their kids fame.
