Chris if you did really say that your a f**king deluded idiot! X Factor and shows like it are like a cancer to music. Obviously MX can't be selling as well as they expected which is deserved I feel because after the highs of VLV it is rather disappointing!

I think I have lost a teensy bit of respect for him.

I don't see how a shit karaoke show is important to the music industry or brings any musical value to it at all?

No Chris, you are important for the music industry. Not some crappy talent show that endorses fame :\

OK, how much has Gary Barlow paid him to say this....

I'm betting that he said this as a way of retracting his comments that criticised the X-Factor in the past. Very few musicians actually think that X-Factor is anything that's worth praising.

i think he thinks that some people actually have talent on that show

I think he has been living in a bubble too long to realise that thanks to shit like that show many bands don't get the time to grow these days.......they have to have a hit straight away or they are dropped!

Oh Chris, Chris, Chris...:facepalm:

^ ^ ^ I think there's something true in each of the last 3 posts. ^ ^ ^

Anyway, I forgive you Chris. You're so cute I'm having trouble getting mad :rolleyes:

Can't say I'm too surprised but I'm kinda disappointed :blank:
