The X factor 'Machine'

The X factor is a singing talent show where 4 judges narrow down a search for the years winner of the show. In the X Factor I would like to see a new genre of talent and someone who couple fill a gap in the industry today and start a new era to music of our generation. (Person opinion)

We watched 12 clips of the most memorable and popular audition tapes. The contestants :

Janet Devlin 16 -

Frankie Cocozza

Goldie Cheung

2 Shoes

The Keys

Jade Richards

Luke Lucas

Craig Colton

Amelia Lily

John Wilding

Terry Winstanley

Misha Bryan

Things we had to look out when watching these acts were their look, what genre would they fit in, can they do anything else and would they bring in a christmas number one?

The X Factor Machine

Adorno and Horkheimer argued that the 'culture industry'' operated in the same way as others manufacturing industries. All work had beco

me the formalized and products were according to rationalized organizational procedures that were established for the sole purpose of making money.

For Example JLS.

Before

After

Watching the first clip and then the second, we can clearly see how the the machine has changed JLS into a product themselves grooming them into a fitted category into the music industry.

Even though they didn't win X Factor the carefully marketing system of producing products them would appeal to their

target audience, young teenagers to young adults per say.

This is the first music video that JLS released after X Factor and the machine that changed them.
