I don't think children should be allowed to watch it although I know they all love it. Not surprising given how childish it is. My beef with the X-Factor and it's legion of imitators is twofold.

First, it teaches that winning is more important than anything else.

Second, it confuses sentimentality with genuine emotion.

It will breed a generation of emotional illiterates who obsess over winning and exaggerate the significance of failure.
