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.

    • Hubby had to retire from work due to serious ill health which had meant he was off work for several months at a time. His hospital consultant advised part time employment only, Signed on at Job Centre and asked them to send him on courses, especially IT has not computer literate or had a computer. Job Centre refused and insisted he applied for full time work even though he produced medical evidence from hospital and letter from previous employment detailing the reason why had medically retired him. He applied for the (then) disability allowance but was refused as not disabled enough and the fact he could work part time. Applied f or several part time jobs but when they knew of his medical history turned him down. That was 18 years ago. Disabled people who want  to work find it hard to find employment. I studied Disability and Employment in Holland as part of my degree and found at that time, the Dutch system more flexible. If a disabled person found a job part time, they still received a portion of their benefit as well as wages. If found a full time position, benefit suspended and were subject to regular reviews as to how they performed in  the job. If there were no problems, benefit was withdrawn, however if they found the work was not suited to their disability - they gave up work and went straight back to receiving their full benefit. If a disabled person finds employment, their benefits stop immediately. If they cannot maintain the work and are sacked, getting back onto benefits is very difficult, Give those who are able to work at least part time, the opportunity to have reduced benefits to top up wages.
