[*-Rooney-*]

Do you like the new set up of X Factor 2009 with the live audience ?

[Jessie Wallace]

You need a don't mind one too, i don't hate or love it. But went for yay!

[Katy]

i dont like it, it feels weird, although i think it makes its funny watching dermot oleary as he actually sees how bad they are and the family reactions.

The recent format changes to The X Factor are not going down well with most of the show's supporters, it has emerged.

According to a survey conducted by Yahoo!, more than 70% of fans who tuned in for the new series of the hit reality show this weekend were not impressed by the programme's revamp.

This year's show features live audiences during the Audition Rounds - a set-up similar to judge Simon Cowell's other UK TV franchise Britain's Got Talent.

I hate the new format

[Abbie]

You see I cant choose, I do miss the old one but without the audience that guy at the end wouldnt have been able to give the performance he did!

[tammyy2j]

I dont like the live audience at all

[LostVoodoo]

don't like it, its not as personal as before.

[Siobhan]

Simon holds back too much and keeps hitting the table like there is a buzzer there :lol:

[Hannelene]

Its like BGT :( At this rate there is no need for BGT!

[Meh]

Its like BGT :( At this rate there is no need for BGT!

True. However, the format works with BGT, but not with x-factor.

X factor worked in the old way as I thought the whole point of the auditions with the 4 judges and no auidence was to reflect to the wanna be singers this is how an audition at a music company could be. Having a live auidence it just feels more like a TV show then a proper singing audition

True. However, the format works with BGT, but not with x-factor.

Agreed. It feels too much like BGT. Simon holding his hand up to stop the audtionees just seemed wrong when there's usually a buzzer in front of him.

Also, I don't agree that the audtionees should be allowed to sing with backing music and instruments.

There was nothing wrong with the old format, I don't see why it was changed.

[Chris_2k11]

I reckon it'll be changed back next year hopefully.

[GossipGirl]

Do you think?

[Chris_2k11]

I do yes haha

[Abbie]

You see my boss at work said its sooo much better with the audience and works much better and the group he was talking to all agree

[Hannelene]

I hope it changes back soon as there is no need for the music for the wanna bes to sing along to

[Chris_2k11]

I hope it changes back soon as there is no need for the music for the wanna bes to sing along toI agree I dont like that they've started doing that either.

[Hannelene]

I thought with the old format it was to do with showing peoples singing voice naturally without musical arrangements.

[Abbie]

I think its unfair with the music cos not everyone does it with music, I thought in the orginal audtions the idea was to have no music so its fair to everyone and they can hear how good they really are

[GossipGirl]

do you think they will change it back?

[Bryan]

i dont think they will, becuase then it's like admitting they did wrong, and i think Simon has too much pride to do that

[Chris_2k11]

nah I think they will change it back next year, its not like its just a few people that dont like it, nearly everyone doesnt!

[GossipGirl]

i can live with the new format as it would be interesting who ends up winning this year under the new audition format

[Hannelene]

It could stay like this as like someone said Simon has too much pride then to admit when he makes mistakes
