Simon Cowell has destroyed the "integrity" of The X Factor by putting on novelty acts who lack talent, American Idol's Nigel Lythgoe has claimed
X Factor lacks integrity - Lythgoe - Showbiz News - Louth Leader









This is going to be interesting.
hmm that would be funny as x-factor in britain only has the brightest and best acts/singers that has rightfully earned their places through to finals...
I really don't see simon intentionally sabotaging his own show as he's very keen on who gets through and only chooses the bests.
Nigel from article:
"I don't class The X Factor as a talent show. Look at (former contestants) Jedward and Wagner. They're on because we love the fun and the circus of it.
"Simon knows what he's doing - it certainly gives the press something to feed off. But it destroys the integrity of the show."


I think the show of a lack of integrity is Lythgoe openning his mouth negatively about the obvious compitition.
Maybe he should just focus on having a successful show and let Simon worry about Simon!
RATINGS will tell us soon!!! "American Idol" has "SYMBOLS TO REACH THE STAR" - "CARRIE UNDERWOOD" and "KELLY CLARKSON"!!! I HATE "Simon Cowell"!!! Simon MOCKED "MANY OF MY FAVORITES", except "Carrie Undewood". Simon was "A DOWNER TO ME"!!! I will NEVER EVER WATCH "X-FACTOR". I LOVE "STEVEN TYLER" and "JENNIFER LOPEZ" - IT BECAME A "MOTIVATIONAL SHOW"!!!
I don't know, I don't really believe that. I mean, Leona Lewis won the X factor over in Britain and she's amazing so it's not like he just puts through novelty acts on the show, but I guess I'll have to wait and see


I will give it a try, but the truth is there are just too many of these kinds of shows and I can only take one or so at a time.
My fav's being AI and SYTYCD.
I can't even do Dancing w Stars. So we will see.
