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.

      Yet another burst main... major leak on Lordship Lane nr junction with Barry Rd

      By beansprout · Posted

      In the country, where I have relocated to these things and dealing with council  for all matters are dealt with  in days… freely admit less population than london. Certainly faster in everything.  Not surprised at all about Thames Water - remember years ago calling them about a leak in road - then it took a week for them to come out, despite daily calls from me. Disgusting at that time the lack of concern and wastage of water. Unbelievable that they are not held to account fir anything and that goes for Southwark Council as well.

      But without knowing the cause of the repeated leaks, it's impossible to comment really. Poor repairs? Something wrong further up the system? Lack of maintenance?  When one of the leaks in our road recurred shortly after it had been repaired, a TW guy said to me that the repairers must have jumped too hard on the asphalt (?) laid above the point of the repair when they were getting it to settle (?) and broken the repair. I wasn't sure if he was joking or not 🤣

      But in many cases the leaks are happening in the same places again and again, and every inch of pipe outside the Horniman on the South Circular must have been replaced at least 3 times in the last 15 years! Of course the infrastructure in some areas is old, but locally there's been quite a bit of replacement. To little effect it would seem.

      Thank you, Pugwash. That's really useful information. Do you know who was responsible for the locks and keys, or which council department? Could you PM me if you don't want to put someone's personal details on here?  It may save me having to speak to Monica. Thanks.
