The X Factor Xed

I have to say,I am really not feeling The X Factor this year. For some reason it just feels to staged and a bit lame. I miss the rawness of the auditions and now it is all about the Judges and them wanting to win not the acts. And what is this new shit about having the last 2 have a sing off only to throw it back to the votes. It just seems all cowardly on the judges part. Its like they have made some kind of pact with eachother. Shame on you Simon. I just might decide to give the rest a miss.
