I feel the Voice and X-Factor are apples and oranges. I like each for different reasons, but I dislike X-Factor for one reason that I like the Voice.

That is, I like the blunt honesty in X-Factor. Not the meanness. Some of it is just plain cruel and the silly acts are a waste of my time. But the X-Factor also can be brutal. That Don Philip, who once dueted with Britney, seems ready to commit suicide. I'm concerned for him. But, yeah, he was *not* good. I expect he's gone through some bad stuff in the last few years and he's probably still deep in it.

On the Voice, there's no cruelty, and little opportunity for mean reactions as they don't put out any silly novelty acts. It's mostly good singers. Some aren't good enough, sure. And often times, if someone doesn't make it, he just gets lumped into a montage.

The Voice, even if the person is bad, is giving good feedback that if the person is really serious, can use to get better. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 14, 09:57
That dude on X-Factor was a goddamn trainwreck. He is not in a stable place right now. -- nm - Shaun Sep 14, 09:49 4
- Also, apparently, he came out on stage, but Fox edited it out. -- nm - Mop on Mac Pro Sep 14, 10:04 3
  - Well duh, not to the editing, but to him being gay. -- nm - Shaun Sep 14, 10:04 2
    - I didn't get that at all. But I got a very clear Will Arnett falling apart on stage vibe from him. -- nm - Mop (198 lbs) Sep 14, 10:08 1
      - Oh... OH! That's why he's getting divorced from Amy Pohler. OK, now I get it. -- nm - Mop (198 lbs) Sep 14, 10:09
