I think the original buzz around these shows has faded - that being that it was something new and anyone could win.
The X Factor was slightly different in a good way, letting older and younger age groups audition, and allowing vocal groups.
I think the next step for these type of shows has got to be proper band auditions - i believe it would produce better quality of music and would give a better chance of more british bands breaking through - as most popstars thesedays are rarely seen without instruments and backing bands (hence 'vocal groups' like Westlife slowly fading away - at last!!!)
