I'd agree with him, but at least on the UK X Factor, the "different" contestants are just made fun of and turned into novelty acts. I hate the X Factor with a passion, but I LOVE Glee.
If you have some time come check out my featured video of Xfactor dude (Phoenix) who showd up out of the blue at my show in Austin last week to back me playing Bon Jovi Dead or Alive with his didgereedoo... TTT aka Triple T
I just realised, glee club has big people, small people, black white and asian people, gay straight and lesbian people and its all about loving yourself for who you are.
Why does our X Factor in the UK have age boundaries i.e. 18-50-odd, etc? :( ...X Factor UK is really gonna go down hill, now- especially without 3 of our judges! :(
I'm glad to see that he likes glee! He made a great point. The reason why glee is so accepted is because glee is reflecting ourselves and society. Glee forms deep connections and understanding with all of the odd balls out there (including me) and gives us hope and inspiration. Glee is amazing! And I wish record companies, and the world, would see that being different is not so bad and take a lesson from a wonderful show like glee. : )
I actually agree with Simon for once! There should not be age, weight, or any other barriers. There are people that have talent that aren't young or old enough for the other shows. Or that don't have the "typical" star looks but have enormous talent. Who cares what they look like when you listen to them on the radio or a CD?
It's nice to see Simon complimenting Glee, and he's totally right. He still manages to twist it into praising his own show as well though. LOL Cowell, you sly minx.
This is someone true. Generally someone with the "x Factor " will have the full package. Good looks, great voice, sex appeal as they don't just want a singer they want an entertainer, model everything but i think these competitions give so much opportunities.
There's been many gay winners, "fat winners", people who are "crazy" like Susan boyle, but these shows dont allow any bias or judgemental views and allow these unique but talented individuals succeed with their talent. Such a great warmidea
Simon's not actually mean at all, he's just truthful.
