Wingold,I believe Ronan and Guy's wages have doubled from last year that is why Simon is adamant that they find a super star this season,as it looks like the show they put on last year each week after the X Factor on 7two with that stupid girl that went out with the guy from Wild Boys & DWTS isn't on this year so they save money there,I agree the stage setups this season so far is way out but imo a little ott and distracts from the acts as there is too much in the background going on.
Yes it does distract , but i dont mind them i think its kewl what they can do with the stages, but your right it may distract from if they actually are singing good or people just enjoying the sets,
Well you would think simon would be getting a bit annoyed as the amount of shows that he has running but limited stars produced from it, the forumla of the show just unfortantly really doesn't produce stars,
I think only 2 really after all the shows kelly clarkson, that keep dreaming song girl that was on with good charlotee, and susan boyle ,
where are all the other winnings they just fade for some reason i think the public can't be tricked into a game show star so easily, they want a star to be found from the old style still i think grinding away at pubs being discovered ect,
I like the shows but there pretty good and we may just might see the next big thing, i wonder how long these shows are going to keep going as soon as aus got talents finished its x factor simon must be making a fortune
