Danish well-known – 2. jan. 2019 – at. 07:50 ‘X Factor’winners go from each other
So that the rolls 12. season of the Danish version of ‘X Factor’ on the screens, and the only change is really that the logo in the left corner of the screen is changed from DR to TV2. Otherwise, everything is old. Culture is again (above)judge – just as he has been in ten of the 11 previous seasons. Sofie Linde is the fourth time the host and even the announcer – Mike Gunnar Barreth is the same as on the competing channel.
Now I assume that the ‘X Factor’ is a reasonably established concept, as it is limited how much one can tinker with, but it is nonetheless striking how little the new producers have tried to put their personal fingerprints on the program. But it is perhaps quite telling of the (lack of) ide, who has been behind by just buying the competitor’s did success.
Well, but it is the viewers probably whistling don’t care, because they got exactly what they expected. Except that this time we started in TV2’s hometown Odense. Which is absolutely no difference made. It did the two new judges, Oh Land and the famous and best-selling nor does. They hung even on the best of their ability, but here at the outset is the the just hired as sparring partners for Culture, who with his usual bramfrihed had the following selvkarakteristik: ‘The most natural response of my being is to be loved.’
There is no doubt that he himself believes in it.
Film, tv & radio – 1. jan. 2019 – at. 13:03 Sofie Linde took the game options: – I’m right on your ass about it
’the X Factor’ pretends to still be a music competition – a springboard to an actual career in music – but it is shown only to the judges, and the most blue-eyed of the performers, who believe in it. All the others have shown found out that there is merely non-committal tv entertainment that can provide more or less talented attention seeking people a few moments in the limelight.
It is in and of itself is not anything wrong with that. You just need to be aware of the premise. If someone on the spur of the moment can name three of the winners – that is not Martin – so I give a cold, next time we meet.
Even if one buys the premise, however, it is hard not to feel metaltrætheden comer. It could be on virtually all the parameters just as well have been a re-broadcast of one of the previous sæsoners auditions with the usual mixture of weeping maidens, the elderly, the freaks, the people devoid of self-knowledge (and honest friends), emotional family relationships, and what is now otherwise do well on tv in prime time. Well yes, and then a couple of handfuls, that could hit a clean tone.
The only thing that really stood out in the musical context, was Dr. Rolf and the Needles (it was, however, a little too vehemently name for the Culture and the company – in itself a liberating detail), if the low-calorie version of the Tom Waits certainly not without personality. And it is a rarity in the frames.
They come so probably not much in a program that primarily goes after the easily moldable, which you can forward to the eternal oblivion. In any case it is such, it wont go. And here is everything as it usually is. It is apparently a mantra. Which is very funny when you take all of the tågesnak on the originality of the recital. It could be funny to see what would happen, if the judges had any real influence on the outcome.
