X Factor – The Final

[My Alter Ego]

Even James Durbin sees the problem with the X-Factor:

But what did the rocker honestly think of this Idol competitor? "Um, I think it was... interesting. I didn't like that it went so big at the very beginning. With Idol, the finale was the huge grand spectacle. It seemed like every single week, X Factor was trying to put on this huge grand spectacle," the singer admits. "They had these unneeded, unnecessary, hoochie, skanky backup dancers every single week. It was just campy and ridiculous. It didn't focus on the artist, it didn't focus on the singer."

James would have fit right in with his flaming pianos, marching drummers and all the rest. Lots of flaming stuff.

He certainly would have! Perhaps it was the dancers that he thought made it "over the top."
