X factor this weekend

*sinks into X factor debate*

Hadn't seen it before this weekend, and based on the perfomrnaces of the final two, Maria was far worse than the Conway Sisters. Then saw the clips of her from the previous weeks where she sounded really good. So I conclude it was the wrong song for her.

Chico was awful, so was Nicholas.

Brenda and Shayne were good

Keeping in the Conway Sisters at the expense of Maria was an absolute travesty.

Much as I like to leer at the couple of half-decent ones in the Conway Sisters I have to be honest and say they were amateurs, 4 girls on a karaoke night out after a few Breezers.

Chico can't sing, but he has stage prescence - he's good to watch. They can tweak his voice in the studio to get him to sell records, they can't give the Corrs/Nolans a personality on the stage!

It's all a big con - Sharron is a total embarassment, like your old auntie who still thinks she is 18 and keeps touching up the young blokes who wish she would just have one more sherry and fall asleep on the sofa. Louis thinks he has to be nasty and comes across as a leprechaun with a slight headache. Simon tells the truth, but is still seen as the "bad one".

It's all a load of old cobblers anyway - there has to be something better to do that watch programmes like this?

Forgotten about Steve Brookstein already, Mr Glover?

You thought he was BRILLIANT last year. :lolol:

Yes, but zero individuality or character - or ‘X factor’, if you will - and therefore, as was pointed out at the time (by myself and many others on NSC), zero chance of selling any records.

Journey South all the way for me.

Same as every contestant on there this year then. Some good singers, some good performers, some utter shite, but no one with everything that it takes to go anywhere in the music business.

The biggest problem with these shows is that the people that watch them and vote for the entrants are not the usual record buying demographic. So consequently these fucktards win the show, get a record deal and only sell 11 copies of their album, before being resigned to Woolworths bargain bin and the odd Butlins appearance.

You have to be joking Gareth. Surely you're only backing them as you've got decent odds on them. They wont win, they're very very poor, even by the appalling standards set on that show.

They are bloody good in my opin. On what basis do you think that they are very poor?

On the basis that they can't sing, have absolutely no stage presence and look like a couple of production line boy band clones. Trouble is they wont even sell records based on their looks.

Anyone that performs Bon Jovi songs to help their popularity needs to be put out of their misery.
