Not 30minutes ago I had another one thru my studio.... The parents with the 16 year old daughter. I recorded her demo, gave some basic vocal coaching and then find out she is prepping for the xfactor.
These girls, nay, families, build there hopes so high.
Another story from this week. A lass who went on xfatcor 2 years ago. She queued for 12 hours. Sang for 10 seconds to a panel who didnt even look up. Got her no and went home. Next to her is a sign saying "You may NOT question the answer of the judge"
This is a machine and it is little short of evil. Preying on the hopes of youngsters to sell advert time and cheesy pop records. I used to be nonchalant about the whole thing. It makes my blood boil more and more.
Of course. No one HAS to go on these shows. But I do feel they are mis-sold.
This gal today likes my songs and said I should
SO go on xfactor. I took it for the misplaced compliment it was¬!!
In other news, I heart Kylie... I am far more likely to watch the voice. That lass can sing, great pitch and lungs.
It was her lungs you were admiring, right Boydie??
