If you are like me and don't like X-Factor or anything similar then don't watch this rubbish. Just gave into pressure from my wife and daughter to watch this. On the plus side it looks very beautiful but I have never liked musicals and this is no exception. On the negative side the songs are dire, the singing is just the type that I hate, the plot is flimsy and trite, the characters are two dimensional and the pacing is rubbish. I've tried watching various musicals under pressure from the ladies in my family and cannot get my head around them at all. I'll add this one to the list of hours, probably days by now, spent trying like these things that I will never get back. If you are like me and don't like X-Factor or anything similar then don't watch this.
