I remember seeing Alex James on a Channel 4 programme telling a bunch of teenagers "is this really what you want? When you walk through this door, your whole life will change and it will ruin you. Destroy you and you won't be able to turn back or turning back will be the hardest thing to do".
Which made me wonder about the "I'm doing this for my mum or my dad" speeches you get on these shows.
So..
Should we all become Million Pound Contract musicians in order to dissolve the pains of life or losing a loved one. Now let me measure that economically. 60,000,000 people in the UK, all require a million pounds each to be happy and relieve themselves of "life's problems".. that is 1,000,000 multiplied by 60,000,000...
60,000,000,000,000
According to some of the contestants on the X Factor, the answer to life's problems is not working hard, pushing driving, but selling your soul to have a million pounds so then you can have what?
Aren't single mothers in this country happy? Aren't people who have lost loved ones happy?
Don't single mothers who survive on almost nothing, happy and don't they keep their kids happy? Or is 1 million quid on the X Factor what they need? Aren't people who have lost a parent happy?
Or does it take 60 trillion pounds to solve this and then what? If everyone had that... well, nobody would be happy because economies don't work like that. If we had this situation, we'd all be the same so having things wouldn't be "special" which is what this is about right, being special?
Well being special is not mocking people every week in videos or even answering back to the person who will give you a million pounds. Being special is respect, modesty, humility - things like that. Virtue.
That is what being special is.
Not a Million pounds but then again... Such vicious attributes are made for people who want to sell their soul so they can live in a bigger house.
We have now heard of Christian values on the show and although I stand by the words of Arthur C Clarke that Religion should be a private thing for the individual, it does bring about contestants like Rhydian and Same Difference who, as we have heard numerous times, put in the most work and dedication into the show.
This is the X Factor. On the one side we have, sell your soul to get a million pounds on the other side we have the love of performing and great personalities and respectable character.
For a laugh, I'dlike to give it to those with no morals so their lives can truly go down the gutter - but let's let virtue reign for once...
