The x factor is no more than a glorified karaoke competition for a bunch of fame hungry losers. No one on the show is actually interested in music, only fame and money. The 'winner' is famous for about 5 minutes and by the next time the show is on they are forgotten about. The only true winner is Simon Cowells bank account, as that is the only true function that the programme serves, to make Cowell even richer.
wats the difference? it's true that he's the judge of that show! but i believe that gareth made himself lo0k bad by acting that way!!! that is the reason that made me like will and darius better!!!! they rlly do hav awesome talents!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
ha ha you think gareth gates has "talent" oh-ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha-hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha-cries-ahahahahahahahahaha-help-ahahahahahahahahahahaha-flatline ahaha - uggh! _died of laughing
Oh I'm sorry when I was putting the footage together from vids on You Tube etc. I was concerned what your opinion on the quality would be ... oh no I wasn't! I was trying to make a point using the available footage ... and create some debate. Mission accomplished?? See the comments below and you'll see it was!
Poor gareth , if simon didnt blow him off and fight over his contract he would be still up there in the charts , he was huge in in england back in the day , just a pity what happened to him :(
without these shows we might not have stars such as leona lewis kelly clarkson clay aiken etc...
and yeah they take our money but only if you let them, people call in because they want to
you don't have to buy the music or vote for your favourites. and ppl watch because they like it, the fifnal last week had 15million viewers so people like it, no one is conning us into watching programmes we don't want
I dont watch it or vote, there is a diff between a str and and artist.. I just think its to hard for people to persevere till the end of it . and sick of the judges they need new ones.
I agree with bluesbrother27, talent shows cheapen the music industry.
All the best people would never have made it on the X Factor. Bob Dylan, no way. Could John Lennon sing? He mostly shouted. Could Johnny Rotten sing? More a sneer set to music. Janis Joplin clear your throat.
All of the BEST musicians and singers don't fall into the very narrow definition of "good singers" which we are letting shows like the X Factor define for us.
He is recording an album at the min . . . it was a bit like leona lewis they fuck of for a year and then come back during this years x-factor live show.
Haha..lol at what you said pyth0nn! But honestly so bllody true what you said..maybe I'm in a minority here, but I don't think Leona is anything major. She sings exactly like Mariah Carey and all those other wailers. She isn't a patch on Whitney Houston-who is an amazing singer.
Leona's succeeding 'cos she's in the right place at the right time.
Will Young should have made it big in the U.S, what a unique voice. But I suppose they couldn't let a British gay singer over there which is a pity.
She has managed not to do as much crack as Whitney but hey give her time :P
Your right about Will I'm straight and I still think he's the only one with talent to come outta the whole X-Factor/Pop Idol thing. But you have to remember the only reason he was bale to express his talent was he turned down the Cowell contract that gave him no creative rights over his output and opted for one that meant he could write and direct his own work.
I can just imagine the rednecks outcry if someone tried to launch a British gay singer over there. They'd wanna chase his ass outta town guns ablazin lol
All the people they let through arent talented, theyre just pushed so hard that theyve fell down the hole of washed out starswhodidntquitebecomestars.
Leona Lewis is only big because Simon has chosen to spend literally millions of dollars and pounds making her huge. If I farted into a microphone for 3 minutes and spent millions of dollars promoting it I could get to number 4 in the US charts too
Leona lewis is british and we want her back i uk if shes still in usa :( but right now we've got jesse mc carteny and jonas brothers :D im saying we qwant her back because shes a great musicsian and i im kidding lol
ok then i was wrong yesh i jst had a chat interesting chat with someone who lvs jesus..and i ent being funny or nothin either..nar god is real..just i was havin a bad time and i felt god was doin nothin 4 me =[
he isnt even real? "he"? god is supposed to be everything and anything around us air grass the holy spirit everything. duh think ur talking about jesus
Once the contestants sign their names they become the property of the record label. They are nothing more than a product that is marketed and sold to fools who don't recognise real talent from commercial shit.
Thank you for making this video, very well edited and makes it obvious what the song is about so the retards that like x factor can understand it.
X factor exploitsd the immature fantasies of fame hungry retards who are more than happy to pay their money and sign the forms to song in front of a pannal of producers.
Was my 1st attempt at making a video and was very happy with the outcome.
The 'Whatever Happened to Gareth Gates' clip says it all! Am looking forward to the 'Whatever Happened To Michelle and Shane' and whichever other idiots agreed to sign the contract the winner gets.
Its no coincidence that Will Young is the only person to turn down the Cowell contract and the only winner that has any longevity to his success and creative input it hiscareer.
Look at my favourites, the very first video is about the x factor and how it is all edited, not sure if you've already seen it, but you'll like it :-)
hey you wanna know why people go on X factor because they belive in themselves they don't sit there wishing they where famous oh no they go and do something about it and i think they should WHATS THE POINT IN DREAMING WHEN YOU DON'T DO ANYTHING FOR IT???? yeah its a great song and it is saying about being famous but say you had a dream / goal and someone took it from you how would you feel?
Oh my god, I laughed for about a minute when i read your comment.
There are millions of idiots who think they have talent, millions of idiots who would love to sing in front of screaming "fans" People like cowell are more than happy to take advantage of this and promise them fame and fortune for a price: their souls.
Oh, please excuse me, lord knows i wouldn't wish to offend anybody. I hope you don't think i am politically incorrect. I would be ashamed of myself. Thank you for reminding me what i can't say, i'll make sure i don't step out of line again.

yes, i am a child - of God. if i start insult your Father i am sure you will have something to say. To insult the centre of someones life and then be sarcastic about it is very childish. Some children don't learn respect do they child?
I don't see how I have insulted god! Besides we are all intitled to our opinions, if you want to say something go ahead. I respect god alright, what I don't respect is people assuming that they have a right to tell people what they can and can't say! Who do you think you are - Tipper Gore?
"oh no they go and do something about it" Yes, it is very hard work phoning the x factor and resqesting the forms, then recieving a date when you can go and sing in front of a panal of producers, then going to fill in the other forms saying that you agree to perform in front of the producers and not actually see simon sharon or luis. Then paying money to audition! Very hard work indeed!!!
The song makes a very good point, but i do agree with Brexen111 in some respects - yes if you want it you have to work for it, but in some ways Xfaxtor is not the best place to make yourself. the chances of getting through are minimal, and the chances of staying famous if you do make it are even smaller. there are other ways to make yourself.
I very much like this song...especially the message behind it! I find it so sad that so many young people want to be part of that mad celebrity culture at all cost. Guys (and girls)! There is WORk to do on this planet if we wanna safe it from hunger, disease, climate disaster, political innuendos, racial hate, religious wars, etc...so pull up your sleeves and get to it! Become a lawyer, a nurse, a GP, a dna analyst, an architect, an IT specialist, DO SOMETHING ELSE, BE DIFFERENT!
