Musical controversy - again!

ITV's TV programme The X Factor is well-known throughout the UK as a music talent contest. Now broadcasting its 3rd series, there has been plenty of controversial content printed in the media and on the Internet.

Tonight's show saw Sharon Osbourne tell the nation the MacDonald brothers should win the competition, just to see Simon Cowell pay out £1 million for their recording contract.

Surely the idea of a talent contest is to find talent that will survive in the music industry because they can deliver. Who would want to win a contest based on controversy?

Singer success Kelly Clarkson managed it with Cowell's American Idol. Perhaps it's time to axe Sharon and Louis?
