How many people have turned off the x factor, and at what point did they stop watching?
The x factor fan site peaked on Saturday, November 3, 2007 (after the live show.)
The following week was half the visitors, and half after that.
Why did the x factor lose visitors to the web site, and people watching at home?
What kept the show the most watched in the UK, and what happened?
1. Auditioning is the best part of the show, and creates the funnest characters. People loved watchig this part of the show. They love the comments, and harsh treatment of the judges.
2. Before the final 12 are picked, people love the variety of contestants. Even during the x factor boot camp (seX mansion)
3. Sisi Jghalef
a. created excitement
b. was sexy
c. controversial
d. law breaker
e. drug user
f. a good singer
When Sisi Jghalef was forced off the show, half the viewers left. We must also point out that breaking the rules to allow rejects to come back and form groups was unfair to the many groups who were much more promising. This also was a major reason of lost viewers. Even though the x factor fan site tried to keep their names alive, and even requested they send in video’s to promote, it really hurt.
4. Icaro
a. The funnest part of the show every week was unpredictable Icaro
b. Singing and serenading the judges was so much fun to watch
c. Bath Tub stress release - was hilarious
d. Mentor to leon and rhydian
e. The only real personality on the show
f. Phantom of Love was contagious.
When Louis Walsh tried to destroy the show by getting rid of Icaro, he succeeded on many levels. So many people turned the show off, and no longer were entertained by anyone on the show. No more soul, heart, laughter, personality were left.
5. The Rugby Disaster.
When ITV decided to replace a week of x factor with rugby, many viewers never returned. They found other shows like strictly come dancing or did other things with their time. The cycle had been broken of repeatedly being the most watched TV show in the UK.
Lastly, when I saw the interest in same difference by children, and placed the high school musical song at the top of the web site sung by sarah and sean, and no longer placed rhydian videos at the top, many people left and never returned.
Why I support same difference to win
In my search of x factor web sites, I did not encounter any place besides forums that devoted space to same difference. I tried to create an environment for them, and felt their voting was much stronger than any other finalist. The reason I kept the high school musical video is because that was they turning point that push the button of all teens and children to get behind same difference. They were not only voting for the x factor winner, but they were voting for their love of high school musical. Anyone representing their favourite movie, favourite songs, favourite stars is who they would vote for. Sean and sarah did not upset their fans, and continued by singing everything in a high school musical style.
Simon Cowell is a genius
I applaud their technique and the savvy understanding that simon cowell has for gaining the publics interest. He found the niche of the children, without keeping young contestants. He sucked the young audience in, by allowing young teens on the show and it worked. He is really brilliant. Unfortunately, he could not keep many other people watching.
Tell me what your ideas are, on why people stopped watching the x factor and why people stopped visiting this web site. your comments are most appreciated.
