Talk Talk and the X-Factor

October 3, 2016

TalkTalk is a name that is probably most well-known for its sponsorship deal with the X-Factor. I have to admit that I am a fan of the X-Factor auditions, but find that when it comes to the live shows it gets a bit tiresome. I mean they drag it out for weeks on end in the run up to Christmas so it’s inevitable at some point I’m going to get bored of it.

The reason that I like the audition stage is that there’s a good mix of real talent from people who really can sing, but then you’ve also got the comedy element of those who really can’t sing. I also enjoy watching the relationship the judges have with one another. This is particularly good because Simon cowell has brought back Louis and Sharon and there is no doubt that they’re entertainment value all on their own. This was very noticeable during the six chair challenge where Louis was struggling with who to pick and Sharon and Nicole were amazed at who he was keeping and who he was discarding. You could really see the pressure all over Louis’s face.

If you’re an X-Factor fan too then you may have also noticed that during the ad breaks TalkTalk is giving us the chance to be a star! The TalkTalk FX Star app gives you, your friends and family a chance to appear on The X-Factor and have your 15 seconds of fame. What a fun thing to do and their really are some brilliant lip syncs being done by the public. It’s so easy to do. All you need to do is download the app, pick a filter, choose your favourite song and lip sync away!

TalkTalk have also been in the news recently as they’re launching a big overhaul of its business in a bid to regain its role as the broadband market’s challenger operator. This probably has something to do with the security breach they faced just under 12 months ago.

If you’re an existing TalkTalk customer, you can expect to hear from them in the coming weeks as they try to urge you into accepting anew deal which sees them moving its customers over to new contracts that gets  rid of separate line rental changes and guarantee’s no price increases for 18 months. If you do want to speak to TalkTalk about this a phone number for their customer service page can be found here: http://www.contacttelephonenumbers.com/talk-talk-customer-service-contact-number/

    Sums up exactly how I feel! I like the auditions but then it is industry driven…the stranger acts do better than those with talent!
