It's the very nature of pop music, surely? One hit wonders have been with us longtime.


And X Factor is our fault: us, the mighty collective 'we'. People watch it in their millions, in the same way that they read Heat and Grazia and the News of the World, and yes, even Popbitch (I think I'm so special!)


It's part of disposable celebrity culture. I don't blame the people who want to make a living out of it. Why the hell shouldn't they, if it's there for the taking? I blame (if that's the right word) the people who feed the beast, the people at home who tune in, who ooh and aah over Ashley's latest infidelities, and Cheryl's latest hair extensions.


They wouldn't give it to us if we didn't lap it up.

Ah yes ? do we blame the junkie or the pusher?


Always had one-hit wonders yes, I just don?t remember so many people debating their merits (and paying premium rate phone lines every week to do it! In a recession no less) In fact there is a long history of people groaning about shit one hit wonders. But I do it now and I?m a snob?


You managed to sound quite snobby yourself there btw ? only about millions of people rather than a TV show

Heh, touch? mon ami.


I am quite snobby about many things: the correct way to pronounce bruschetta, Dan Brown novels, misplaced chardonnay snobbery ("hate chardonnay, but I do love a nice glass of Chablis" - I snob the snobs), and yes, Heat / Grazia are right up there on my hit list.


Yet somehow the show manages to suck me in...

Narnia, not quite sure if you're being sarcastic or not.


TT talentless, non!


They are vocally sound, they write their own stuff and their concerts are flawless. I wasn't a huge fan the first time around, however have grown to love them.


RosieH, I never understood, back in 1995, why all the slightly 'older' women were screaming for Howard. Now, 15 years later, I totally get it.

    • Hope you all had a happy Christmas & good New Year  Here are your Gardening Tips  for February . Their not too long, but they need doing if you are to have a good garden this year  1. Pruning.  Before the birds need a nest prune your hedges especially the deciduous ones . Important to still prune Roses . Cut back Rose bushes hard to a bud & creating a rounded plant . Prune your trees before the sap rises especially Buddleja Hydrangeas hardy Fuschias Lavatera Bay Leylandii You can cut back Spring flowering tree’s after they have flowered later in Spring  Prune climbing plants like Virginia creeper & Ivy very hard . Remember they will grow back prolifically  You can prune Wisteria twice a year & February is one of them . Cut back the whips (smaller branches) to 3 buds before the main stems . You can prune a few of the thicker stems to give the plant shape & form. Give it a feed if you want it to flower  Cut back any grasses so they can grow in Spring  Prune Jasmines & winter flowering Jasmines. They will reward you with beautiful smelling flowers during Spring & Summer    2 If it ever gets dry again mow your lawn at top height of your mower. Repair patches & trim all borders with a half moon spade . It’s a good time of year to lay new lawns levelling the ground adding sand feed & topsoil    Power wash your patios paths & wooden structures & furniture. You can then give them an appropriate treatment when they have dried out  That’s it for now. I told you it wasn’t too long, Do these if you can, but if you want someone to carry it out for you, I recommend any of the we’ll recommended gardeners on the forum including myself & my colleagues  Please give me a call on :  07759862191. Well done if you managed to read this. Nigel
