The X Factor and a Wedding

The X Factor is due to hit our screens again and the auditions have already began. But I was reading through an article on the BBC website about what actually happens at the auditions, and if you have ever been to a wedding you will come to realise what I mean by its identical. This is what is strictly rumoured to have happened.

You are meant to be at the venue at 9am, if you turn up any later you will not be seen. The queues were basically said to be how they are in theme parks, but on all of the rides combined. There was hours and hours of queuing before people got invited into the 02 arena. After hours of queuing the man said that the auditions had still not started but alternatively, the production squad were working around handing out banners that say I love you Cheryl, or Pick me Simon. Which is rather amazing as you forever thought that these were made by the public.

All right the auditions were about to begin, but there were no judges to be seen anyplace. Nope, everyone had to sing into a booth and if the production squad liked them, then they would come back back to sing again in front of a more senior member, before being allowed to be shown in front of the judges.

There are literally cameras everywhere and all I can really and genuinely compare it too is a wedding, where everything is planned right down to the tee, you have everything in place to make a good show. But are the lower end of the production team able to spot superb talent? Or have they alternatively been taught to find something that will be entertaining for the Television screens.
