I disagree. Cher will do well in the urban youth hip hop niche.....like N-Dubz and those acts. The boy band will have their time and depending on how they go it will either be a couple of years or ten (the right management and songs will determine that). Longevity, you are right best lies with Rebecca, Matt and Treyc. I think the standard is really high.

I don't know if it's the wine I've been drinking, but I thought it was all dreadful tonight.


Rebecca at a pinch if she avoids the pop market and becomes a proper singer, maybe with a band and stuff, I'd recommend her to run a million miles from Mr Cowell though.


Everyone else was awful, even Mr Grimshaw for whom I had a soft spot as i thought he actually cared about music.


Of course Wagner was, once again, genius!!!

I have never watced X Fator hibbs - Am I missing anything? I just knew Quids had had a couple of beers. But it does surprise me how many people do watch it.

MP I think you are joshing - 'Wagner was brilliant' lol.


There is vocal talent on the show....and some of those acts are going to do very well even if they don't win the X Factor. Sure mostly they won't achieve international superstar status (that requires something really special) but then how many musicians/ bands with successful careers do anyway. Isn't it enough just to have some level of success? Doesn't mean everyone is crap.


Totally agree about Cowell though. He's not a good manager. He's made Leona Lewis completely boring (made her a lot of money yes...but dull with it). JLS on the other hand have been the monster success they have because Cowell doesn't manage them. They are signed to his companay but a different team take care of them.

Someone actually did a Led Zep song on Saturday - still not heard a Smiths or Cure or maybe even The Fall. Meanwhile, the irish one with a very good Shirley Bassey voice continues to do, er, Shirley Bassey numbers, the girl with the Blues voices does, er, Nina Simone, the fat black guy who everyone keeps saying has a voice 'like Luther Vandross', continues to do, er, Luther Vandross like Soul Ballads, the ones who can't sing get big backing and 'exciting' stage shows to mask their incompetence. The only two who are any good for entirely different reasons are the bloke whoi did the Britney cover, I honestly thought it was great and as Mockers said the genius that is Wagner (DJKQ genius not brillitn I think you missed MP's point). It's doing it for me in its normal mixture between car crash and pantomine way.

Glad someone else spotted that Travis done it first. The judges certainly didn't! Coonts!

A conversation I had over this weekend, ending up with me calculating that I would be prepared to do 18 years plus for that little twat!

    • I have signed that petition.  Someone was letting off loud fireworks at about 3 am this morning. They woke me up.   I don’t know where they were exactly but it sounded like they were in the vicinity of Dog Kennel Hill.    
    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.          
    • Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
