The X Factor

I know what your thinking... Someone has put X factor on a blog... really?

I thought I would post this one up there, as it's all anyone is talking about at the moment. There is quite literally no escaping the programme, and it has most certainly had a significant impact on me.

I'm not one to normally get emotional... but i think that the producers of the x factor have a talent in drawing you in and have certainly hit a nerve that has had me screaming at the T.V.

The show is produced by Fremantle Media's Talkback THAMES. and Simon Cowell's production company SYCO tv and is sponsored by TalkTalk in the UK. After watching this programme, I began to think about the editing that must go into creating such an impact on the viewers. From the music to the judges they choose, everything must be considered to great lengths. I think it's clever the way in which they create a build up before the singers go on stage making you nervous for them and consequently addictive to watch.

After seeing this clip i (have to admit) had a lump in my throat and shivers shooting down my spine. Living near to Putney, I felt weirdly connected to the guy. Is this all down to the good editing of the show I wonder, or am i just turning soppy?
