X-Factor stirs the Forum massive! There are generalisations aplenty being thrown around here.


Comparisons between X-factor contestants and established recording artists, whilst understandable, are a little unwise. It is only a talent show after all. I mean I went and saw my little boy perform in a school play and thought he was wonderful. Bought a tear to my eye, quite rightly - but I'm not comparing him to any great actor. the reason Matt was so good singing "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" was because it was emotional within the dramatic narrative of the show. He'd had a wobbly performance the previous week so the audience at home and in the studio were primed for a great one from him. They got it. But it worked specifically in the melodrama of the evening.

and they're dressing up in it?

Mother issues I'm guessing.



As a complete incidental aside, the Mongols only wore light boiled leather armour if at all, preferring silk shirts as an arrow went into your body without breaking allowing you to pull it out without causing massive internal bleeding and lessening the risk of infection.


Aaaaanyway....moving swiftly on...... (like a Mongol horse archer....(keep digging piers........))
