X-Factor Ratings Plunge Again Leaving Simon Cowell Red-Faced After Boasts

"X-Factor" cast

The ratings for Fox's "X-Factor" talent show, starring greedy Simon Cowell, who bragged that it would beat his former show "American Idol" have plunged again. Ratings are down by an additional 10% proving Cowell's boasts wrong.

The show has been plagued by scandal and controversy which turned viewers off, rather than boosting ratings, which are half "American Idol" numbers, but that too is on the decline. This talent show genre is worn out and too much. Enough already.

99% of the judges know nothing about talent, are being paid to be controversial and start fake disputes and rivalries. At the end of the day, this erodes the quality of music being released, as a number of the songs springing from these shows are hit with copyright infringement lawsuits or claims of the same.

X-Factor's Stacy Francis Is Not A Newbie, But She Was Actually In The Famous R&B Girl Group X-Girlfriend

Simon Cowell is so crooked. This man is always rigging talent shows, which is illegal. It's bad enough for him his ratings are falling, he persists in unlawful conduct as well. A controversy has arisen over 42-year-old "X-Factor" contestant Stacy Francis, who claims she is a newbie, but truthfully she is not.

Some are claiming she did background vocals for famous artists, which disqualifies her as an amateur. However, I remember her from when I was a kid. She was in a popular R&B quartet called X-Girlfriend. Their debut song was called "Why Can't You Come Home." They played them on BET all the time. As a matter of fact, I looked up something to do with them well over a year ago on my frequently hacked business computer that Cowell's partners Sony refuse to stay out of. They are insane to claim Cowell discovered her.

Ratings Are Half What 'American Idol' Pulled In

In spite of the fact "American Idol" ratings have been steadily declining since 2008, former talent judge Simon Cowell's new show, "X-Factor" fared even worse in its U.S. debut, with half the ratings of its predecessor. Has the world had its fill of bad, cheesy karaoke music and mean judges that know nothing about music and real talent (See: Simon Cowell arrogantly failing to spot Jennifer Hudson's talent, then making the same mistake again with Susan Boyle).

Simon Cowell's new face

Even in light of all the publicity stunts Cowell engaged in to launch "X-Factor" coupled with a tremendous amount of costly advertising and a new plastic surgery issued face (which looks painful, might I add) it has greatly underperformed (both the show and his face). The byproducts of these shows inevitably end up being soulless, derivative music the public can do without.
