The other part, yeah of course some bands would not make it on X Factor, which is my point exactly. They wouldn't have what the show was looking for, but they could be ten times better than some of the twats on there, and being picked. Course, they could also be a bunch of talentless wankers. |
I think we're going to have to agree to disagree here as we're kind of going in circles now but I wanted to clear this up:
My lottery analogy was more to emphasize that whether or not you agree with how they got there, they are still millionaires. It shouldnt matter if someone gets their break on X Factor or by touring for months in a VW van. You can succeed or fail either way.
"Fair play to anyone that wins".
Let's just say for ease of argument that going on X Factor is easier. Then you concede that you know of an easier way to become famous. If that's not your goal with respect to being a musician, then fine. But you realized that you
could try out. You
could be famous. It's the same as buying a lottery ticket. You didnt buy a lottery ticket so you didnt win. But dont complain when someone is announced a millionaire. It's fair game.
