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!

    • That's a disgusting slur against an innocent driver who was probably just on their way to drop off freshly-baked muffins at an orphanage when they had to swerve out of the way of a so-called "cyclist", and anyway traffic lights are just a Marxist conspiracy by Southwark Council to slow traffic down and force people out of cars, so we're all better off without it.
    • Frothy coffee? Not really my bag. A double espresso and a Marlboro Red? It's the breakfast of champions. The only dark drink with a creamy head which should ever be drunk by a man of my age is Guinness. I've also become lactose intolerant recently, meaning I get very impatient around milk. You make a fair point, but those legal channels are available for them to recover their repair, and legal, costs and, as I said: "It's up to them if they [Southwark] want to do that, of course." There's three or four grands worth of Cat N write-off, wrapped round a post there (more, if it's broken down for parts) causing problems. If they can't be arsed sorting that, I'm not holding my breath. Even Southwark couldn't screw their numbers up enough to make shifting the post back through circa 15 degrees more than a couple of grand, so there's a drink in it for everyone. It's a bit 'leany' just now, yeah, but I haven't noticed anyone having to limbo under it to get to Superdrugs. Or, they could make a feature of it. Pisa has made a fortune out of not sorting the underpinnings of their tower. Let's say it's an installation by someone called, I don't know, Bangsy, and it's a physical reminder that SE22 cannot deny its proximity to Peckham, Camberwell & Brixton. It's about the only thing that would get me back into The Bishop since the many dark afternoons of the soul I spent with Clarence*, the world's most depressed Weimaraner. *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.   Come on Spartacus, don't be shy. You know exactly where the Green Cross Code Man was in 1973: less than a hundred yards away, on North Cross Road. https://youtu.be/C-XwVVMiCO4?si=rt8kQllev0t1Lgdi For some years, I found it quite difficult to go into The Forrester's after many long afternoons of the soul with Dave Prowse* (The Green Cross Code Man). *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.  
    • Loving the arm chair speculation on here  Blimey how long before this gets spun out to be a drug dealer welding a sawn off whilst driving away from a smash and grab at the coop cash machine flipped his car and landed on a bollard type post  Where's the green cross code man when you need him ?
