Breaching the Trades Descriptions Act: ‘Saturday night at the movies’ week on the X Factor didn’t have much to do with singing or the cinema, by Jim Shelley
The ironic thing about The X Factor is that the closer it gets to the final, the worse it seems to be.
‘Movie Week’ was torture and a travesty.
After ’80s Week’ had featured the likes of 70s classics Imagine and Jealous Guy, the concept of songs from Cinema Soundtracks was so tenuous it was stretched to breaking point – and pointlessness – with songs such as Let It Be, Hey Jude, and Try A Little Tenderness that are basically just all-time classics rather than ever been famous for their connection with movies.
