Filth Watch

Another season of the X Factor is almost over. This year’s judging panel was a complete shake up from previous years with only Louis Walsh surviving from last year’s line-up. One judge in particular seems to have gone down very well with the British public and has been taken to the nation’s heart. I refer of course to the American judge Kelly Rowland.

The show has portrayed Miss Rowland as a real sweet and wholesome girl next door kind of character but a quick look at the lyrics of her latest single paint a somewhat different picture. The song itself is entitled ‘I’m down for whatever’. A quick read of some of the lyrics leaves little to the imagination, the song opens with the following…

‘I'm down for whatever, I'm down for whatever. When it comes to you, I could make love on the floor, I'm down for whatever, I'm down for whatever. Baby let's get creative. Cause of you I am down I'm down for whatever.’

Not so sweet and wholesome as you thought, eh? She goes on to sing…

‘There's no place I wouldn't go. Tonight I'm ready to take it anywhere. I'm amazed, by you all. You bring out a side I didn't know. Say the word, and I'll do anything, can't say no to you, It ain't juice, mixed with booze. No baby every word is true.’

The second verse is no better…

‘Let's explore, see what we find. I'm waiting for you to discover me. No restraints, no regrets Just give me your eye, I won't forget. Say the word, and I'll do anything, can't say no to you. It ain't juice, mixed with booze. No baby every word is true.’
‘Tonight, you're making everything feel right Tonight, I wanna get high and touch the sky.’

We should never forget, the X Factor is marketed as a family show and we know that families around the country all sit around the television watching it. Many of the viewers are young children of primary School age and of course the programme is aired before the watershed in order to cater for children of that age.

What happens in homes across Britain is young impressionable girls see this beautiful young woman with her cute American accent and they fall in love with her personality, they want to dress like her, they want her picture on their bedroom walls and of course they want her latest album. Their mums who have been sucked in by the wholesome image buy the album for their children and in so doing only serve to corrupt their children’s minds.

Don’t be sucked in, but rather be informed and be warned. The music of Kelly Rowland is Filth.

‘Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.’ Philippians 4 v8
