| The X Factor stage |
Originating from the United Kingdom, this is only the second season of The X Factor. This competitive reality game show reveals compelling stories of people who think they have a shot at winning five million dollars and a contract with Syco/Sony Music Productions. The returning judges are the obvious Simon Cowell along with L.A. Reid while the new judges are Demi Lovato and Brittney Spears. Although Simon is known for his brutal honesty, it seems as if he and Brittney traded places. Her criticism towards the contestants and her constantly saying "no" was harsh but at least she didn't lie. Simon seems to be more understanding this season with his comments,"Best contestant on this show." or "My favorite conetestant so far in this competition." Demi and L.A. Reid had true connections with the contestants and I feel that that makes a successful television show and really draws in the viewers. For example, Jillian Jensen was a contestant on the show who was bullied throughout her childhood. "When you sang, You broke my heart." Demi claimed. Demi was also bullied throughout her life but she made a statement, "look, we're on stage and the bullies are sitting on their couch, watching us on tv." I thought this was very powerful and very courageous of Demi to say.The X Factor is and overall great show. It expresses true emotions not only from the contestants but from the judges too. All in all,I would rate this show five out of five stars because of its success around the world and the opportunity it gives people to pursue their dreams.
