Liam Payne

Quotes About X Factor #458462

Quotes About X Factor #694075

Stephanie McMahon

Quotes About X Factor #708729
#37. 'The X Factor' seems to be more about building up personalities and people in tears. And it's not a new idea. The pre-Beatles pop world was full of manufactured pop stars. The thing is that you can't imagine any of the artists you look back at and admire ever going on 'The X Factor.'

Quotes About X Factor #854432
#45. The rest of my family are obsessed by 'The X Factor:' I'm intrigued by it, although its musical values are far away from mine, like a cup of tea with 400 lumps of sugar in it. There's something very strange about Simon Cowell's lips, isn't there?

Charles Hazlewood

Quotes About X Factor #858569
#46. Anything that's on television as often as someone on 'The X Factor' is what's successful. That doesn't mean that I condone that or think that it's right. To be honest, I'd be the first to say I think it's a shame. But if that's the way it is then that's the way it is.

Quotes About X Factor #932656
#50. When I saw Adele, I thought: 'I'll give it an hour before people say I was her,' just because I was fat.

Alison Moyet

Quotes About X Factor #938069
#51. 'The X Factor' was the final push I needed to have the presence and confidence on stage, which I didn't have before. It's a crash course in the music industry. If you can survive the show, you're ready for the industry.

Quotes About X Factor #1070124
#58. The 'American Idol' and 'X Factor' shows, they're great shows. But I think I need to make a show like that, directed straight to the hood, to the artists that don't get the attention, that don't have the money to make themselves representable.

Quotes About X Factor #1074157

Quotes About X Factor #1103025

Rita Ora

Quotes About X Factor #1171913
#65. We'll watch 'Britain's Got Talent,' 'X Factor,' 'Come Dine with Me' and 'Masterchef.' But we don't watch 'Big Brother,' which is rubbish. I certainly won't be tuning into the new series of 'Celebrity Big Brother' either. I think it's awful, exploitative and vulgar.

Terry Wogan

Gary Barlow

Quotes About X Factor #1215116

John Niven

Quotes About X Factor #1294516
#71. Kids are meant to believe that their stepping stone to massive money is 'The X Factor.' Luck is great, but most of life is hard work. We do not celebrate people who have made success out of serious hard work.

Quotes About X Factor #1529712

Fleur East

Quotes About X Factor #1603728
