I just don't like The X-Factor Philippines. Maybe the network really gave a high budget for the show but the result was not convincing. I actually expected that The X-Factor Philippines cannot be compared to other international shows. By just looking at their OBB, it is so low quality, I just hate it. Why did they gave it to ABS CBN? Because they can afford it? Haha.
In addition, The X-factor Philippines is now like Pilipinas Got Talent. The judges are exaggerated and they are easy to pleased. Another one that I hate is that, what is the use of the held minor auditions? Even those people who don't know how to sing move on to the major auditions! Maybe the purpose of the show is to make people laugh? However, I might say that the show is not a comedy show!
To all those watching The X-Factor Ph, did you get what you expect to the show?

Well I think that it just is a few episodes only so I cannot say that the show is really that bad. I think we should give them the chance to prove their show. But what I know is that the show has started a long time ago and it was only now that the show has started showing on air.
I think that they still have a lot to show in this talent show. We will know when the finals have arrived already and the actual competition begins. So far they are still in the process of auditioning so talents are rather raw and sometimes judges are not yet strict on choosing the contestants. In the end one will float amongst the all those chosen to play on the higher level of the competition.

i know your what you mean. yes, the show just started recently and still showing the audition process. however, what they are showing to people are the main auditions held in three main venues from luzopn, visayas, and mindanao. before the main auditions were per-screening on different cities and provinces. however, it seems that there is no pre-screenig held because there are auditionees who go the to main audition , just for fun and don't really have talent in singing.

Well some of those raw talents that sometimes go for the fun of it do get the attention to some of the audience. I think not all of the auditions are shown on air here just the chosen good and bad ones so that maybe audience would not suspect that the audition is rigged so they have to show some bad talents along the way to show that they reject some talents.

the only purpose of the production team is to make the show not boring at all, to make fun of others. because if they will make all auditioness are really good, there is a tendency that it becomes boring, but i think it is still better if they do. you are true that not all audition tapes are not shown because it will take many days before they finished to air all of it.

I watched the first two airing of the show. I enjoyed the show it but sad to say it didn't meet my expectation. I was hoping that i'll see something new, but just like you, i felt it was PGT with a new name.

i was also disappointed by the show. well. i am not really expecting too much to the show just like in PGT. you are also right, that the show becomes PGT, the only difference is that they only allow singers.

i am already tired of singing search shows because there were already a lot in the past such as Pilipinas Got talent 1 and 2. I dont watch X factor Philippines because it has this sawa factor. Only if there is a spectacular of funny performance that my friends will tell me. I will watch the video clip on youtube and that is all.

The Pilipinas Got Talent in not a singing competition, however the show becomes a singing competition because of the winners. most winners, actually all of the winners of PGT are singers. this is because of the nonsense judges. ahaha.

I am not actually a good judge of talent shows but I try to watch most of them whenever I can. X-Factor Philippine edition seems fine with me except when the judges turn emotional. I also followed Pilipinas Got Talent and I liked the way the judges made comments. It was straight to the point opinions and oftentimes a bit sarcastic and trite. I just hope the judges of X-Factor Phil do not exaggerate so much with their effusive praises. However, I will continue to watch the show because it is entertaining. I don't really expect so much as long as it keeps me entertained and happy and before I forget, there are some very good contestants.

for me, most of the judges are exaggerated even just in Pilipinas got Talent. I mostly watch Pilipinas got Talent when it is still airing from the start to the end. however, i think this will not happen to The X-factor Ph. I seldom watch the show because of what is happening to the show. however, I am still planning to watch again when the live show is on, to see how ABS manage that big production.

I don't usually watch those kinds of shows. But I work from my laptop in the living room so I can glimpsed what they were watching. I have seen some YouTube videos from the X-Factor UK and I can say the X-Factor Philippines is not as good as the UK version. I know I know, different culture, different environment. But I mean the judges we have, just like you pointed out, are exaggerated and easy to please.

I don't like this show and never bothered myself watching its episode, I don't even know what's its time slot in ABS CBN. I hate KC and I extremely detested Charice, they could have chosen Lea Salonga to become one of the judges instead of Charice. I heard from my friends that contestants of PGT are better than X-factor.

I think the judges themselves know that it's about singing. Although i agree with you that there are contestants who climb up the ladder with hardly any talent in singing but just by making the judges or the audience happy. But i don't take this against the entire show that's because these kind of contestants put a breather to the show itself. It adds more entertainment which what most of the people are looking for in a TV show. besides, it's too early to tell, sooner or later, those without talent will eventually be eliminated until there's only one that remains.

Well for me X-Factor is just a film. Everything is just a big scenario. We also had X-Factor in my country and there were clips showing some scenes from our x-factor and from another country x-factor and everything was simply equally. So as for the this "show" is just uninteresting.

First and foremost, the network does have a huge talent, period. I get to watch the show sometimes... All I can say is that I am quite annoyed with how Charice reacts and behaves now, she's a totally different person from what I have seen her before. As for the people who audition, some are good, but some are... Well, they had the good looks.
