I know it's a reality show but II (thanks largely due to the under appreciated Anu Malik) had very genuine moments. Beneath the hype,it was meant to be about the singing and I feel they kept to that within the constraints of popularity.
With X factor every thing from the auditions seemed fake and over the top. The judges seem like bad actors mouthing dialogues given to them. There is no build up to the contestants,no trying to get them better understood and really not one of the contestants stands out as having the chance of real success in the future. Add to that the inanity of the judges repeating that this is the best and the grandest show. It really makes them look stupid. Anyway, I suppose it will improve with time but this is not the type of show I want to waste my time watching.
Some thing like Chhote Ustaad was so much more enjoyable with the judges contributing in the singing and teaching stuff and showing the kids the nuances of singing. Maybe it's one show too much but I am tired of shows that make singing a by product and an after thought.
Sush lets see how far this show can go. What more acts left! So just enjoy till then.
