Thanks for replying guys, i thought this thread was superfluous as the topic header😆

I wrote this in the other thread-posting it here as well

I was really looking forward to X-Factor as I had enjoyed II-5 and Chhote Ustad a lot last year and was excited about another music show. The thing I found about X-Factor is how fake everything is. 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.

Is it just me or does it seem like the performances - the singing rather -are pre-recorded? Despite all the obvious flaws, it does not seem like live singing to me.

The show is ridiculous. The judges panel has the potential to be one of the strongest panels in musical reality shows, but they are too busy praising each other to notice that contestants are also a part of the show. Each time a contestant sings well, all praise is given to the mentors. On the other hand, when a contestant does not sing well, the flaws and mistakes are ignored and standing ovations are given instead. I did not expect this kind of judging from a panel with Sonu Nigam on it. Highly disappointed!

The ridiculous performances with absurd costumes and back-up dancers are painful to watch. Forcing contestants to dance and waste time rehearsing their dance when clearly it is their singing that needs work is beyond ridiculous. After last seasons Indian Idol, expectations were quite high from Sony, but this show has been pretty disappointing so far.

By the way, will Idol be airing after X-factor ends? And I watched an episode of Lil Champs and found the judges extremely boring - did that show get any better or are they still putting the audience to sleep?

OT-mm did you listen to songs of zindagi na milegi dobara? particul. song dil dhadkane do has heavy chords arrangement with SEL written all over. Amazing use of diff gadgets over bass & lead guitar.

So far am very disappointed with this show, it is so ridiculous to keep watching the judges simply glorifying one another, and not helping the contestants. They don't have to be harsh with their judgement in the first episode, but it is their duty to help the contestants by pointing out their big mistakes , going off key, or simply being flat...
