Can Simon Cowell sing? Or Louis Walsh?


Do a search on Dannii minogue...you'll see she's been in the music and TV business since the age of 8...like her sister. She fronted a major music show in Oz.....in fact, she has more years in the business than Simon Cowell. Don't underestimate her skills, knowledge and experience. She's a very smart lady.


Cheryl of course is the newbie, but given that on both the years she has been on the show the winner has been one of her acts then she obviously has some idea of what's going on.


So no..JK doesn't have a point....

I thought JK was spot on. I hate the X factor and I think it's just a glorified karaoke. Sting said something similar last year. Name me one singer from it who has gone on to have lasting success. Leona Lewis seems

to have disappeared from view. As

for Jk I think he's a brilliant singer and performer and has been around and sold records for years now. So this qualifies his opinions.

He sells records because people are willing to by bland 'sounding all the same' albums....which makes him the ideal contestant for X factor according to some views of the show. He's a one trick pony. Perhaps his comments were out of the embarassment of having finally found his level.


Either way it is extremely unprofessional to make stupid sexist comments the day before appearing on a show involving those you've just insulted. Just makes him look stupid.

I saw him live once and he is actually very good. He sings well and is a very good dancer and performer. I think he writes much of his own music as well and I don't think I've ever heard him release a cover version.? As for his music,he has his own version of blue eyed soul and he is definitely influenced by early seventies funk and jazz fusion, especially artists such as Curtis Mayfield, Brothers Johnson and Funkadelic.I doubt if Simon Cowell or Louis Walsh have even heard of any of them, let alone listened to their music.?All in all I think that puts him way above the X factor sh1te.

    • Is the budget unremarkable? I would say slapping huge tax increases on businesses and working people to give 30 billion away to people on benefits is worthy of remark.
    • Susan Hall issued campaign leaflets that resembled penalty charge notices and claimed Khan had a "secret plan" for pay-per-mile charging. It was totally made up /  a lie. ...and on the susbstance of pay per mile (or rather, what I'd like to see in time - dynamic road pricing) - is clearly the best way to manage road use.  Had Hall been voted in we would now have dirtier air and more ill health. 
    • Zipcar have just announced they are going to cease all UK operations.   
    • Yes, I agree with this, it's been very odd indeed. Why did they fly so many kites and brief for so long before the budget? And why was she set on raising income tax, even tho the OBR had upgraded the forecast? And why the speech (which apparently caused gilts to fall), and then the retraction? And then why the business about mansplaining and misogyny in the Treasury? It's been totally baffling, esp when you consider that, in the end, the budget was quite unremarkable.  But I do see that, if Reeves had revealed that the forecast wasn't so bad, but that she wanted to keep enough headroom anyway, it would have gone down like a bag of sick with the media. She was damned either way.  All this briefing and flip-flopping has just slowed the markets and probably spurred people on to move savings and pensions, hold off on selling their house / buying etc.
