I don't think they said it during the audition, and I have no reason she would lie about it either. I don't care enough about the shows to make shit up

It's an lol-worthy story.

So they tell people that try out for X-Factor that the entire show is a fraud and that a winner is already picked?

She's either a liar, or she heard wrong.. sense.. that does not make.

They tell people this and yet it's not widely known by everyone in the country and all over the papers?

I mean yeah we hear about it being fixed and shit but still.

This story is getting attention but do you think it will change anything? People have pretty much accepted the show is fixed for years now.

I don't really give half a shit. The story you told makes no sense. People who try out for X-Factor being told to their face that a winner has already been chosen? What?

Fixed or not I don't really care.. I see no logic that suggests the shows are 100% fixed.. they'd have little to gain from that.. American Idol has also booted people in the past simply because it was revealed they previously had a record deal and that violated some rules.

Maybe the European shows are fixed.. but some of the American Idol Winners? Really? You think producers would choose all of these people?

The fact that they prefer certain artists over others is.. well... obvious.. the fact that they highlight some of their "stories" over others.. obvious.. the judges perhaps being told to favor certain artists.. totally plausible. Beyond that, if it was actually proven that voting was fake, they'd not only have the public to deal with.. but that wouldn't even be legal.

i told you dem gays are gayin' our kids up! derpa derp
pretty sure homophobes are gonna use this crap as an excuse for some new bigotry, ignoring the fact that the people who 'gayed' that kid up probably weren't even gay

Read the entire wall...

and hole E shit if true.

Also, will he have to reimburse SYCO for the coke.

I don't think any of this a surprise, but I do enjoy how it reads exactly like the multiple Scientology informant papers i've read. We all know what they do, but when you add "secret " and "super secret " it makes it that much more cloak-and-dagger.

Edit: Just watched the video and he's great, but children should not be made to wear skinny jeans - EVER.

There's no way American Idol winners are chosen beforehand.

I mean, look at the careers of the last few. flop alert
Lee Dywize and Crystal Bowersox are two of the most boring unmarketable people I've ever seen....but i bet middle america ate them up when it was voting time.

Some interesting turns to this story, firstly SYCO have unsurprisingly called in the lawyers and more interestingly someone did some digging on the original blog post:

http://iamjamesward.wordpress.com/2011/06/02/syco/

It was first linked to by a Twitter user called UKlegion, who claims to be a member of Anonymous, and also seemed to have a homophobic obsession with Ronan for a while before that. UKlegion has now deleted their account from Twitter.

Looks like this has all been for the 'lulz'.

 

[Buckethead]

What's more disgusting the lack of paragraphs or the alleged behavior?

Inhuman.

Acts fail all the time, even established ones...

It's really amazing how so much of modern life apparently revolves around remakes of The Gong Show...
