They all sing two songs from this week onwards. I do think the right five acts are left and I can't really pick a winner. I like all of them. I think Marcus needs the win more than the others. Little Mix and the girls will all get picked up.


Male winners don't tend to do very well though. Matt Cardle's album sales are low. Joe McElderry, Leon Jackson and Steve Brookstein all flopped and Shayne Ward was dropped eventually too.

Yes, I said that last week.....


I said it again this week.....


And will probably say it next week too!


I will continue to say it until they are voted out, because I think they are the best act & I want them to win.


P.S. Janet deserved to go.

- as a session singer


- which means the in-fighting "I'm the best singer you little bich?!" is about to begin


- ssems the voting public this year hated the obvious attempts to influence them (mischa b) and voted against what they saw as Cowell and co.'s wishes so I wouldn't bet agin her.


Which leaves Marcus to be the new Joe McElderry(?) and be waiting tables somewhere near you soon...

You reckon? I'd rate it as one of her less good performances (and that pre-song rap was cringe-worthy). She's quite average with a dreary ballad. That attempt at Whitney Houston a few weeks back was sleep inducing.


Give her something with an R&B kick that she can belt out and it's a different story. Her version of 'Proud Mary' a few weeks ago was pretty damn good and she's the only person I've heard that's even come close to Adele with 'Rollin in the Deep'.

She'll be signed up and out with her first album before the end of next year. It'll be promoted properly and will do well. Not quite what happens to a session singer is it? She's much better than that and you have to remember how young she still is.


Little Mix are overall better singers than the Spice Girls (Mel C being the only person who had a half decent voice). Everything will depend on how they are managed and how good the songs are that are written for them. But again, I fancy their chances. JLS were often off key with their xfactor performances but have done very well for themselves since.


Agree on Marcus following Joe McElderry, but think he will have a great future in musical theatre. Matt Cardle's Biography *cough* has already made it to the shelves of poundland.....looking ominous for him too.

JLS got lucky when Cowell pulled out on agreement to sign them and they were picked up by Epic. Otherwise they would have been churning out Westlife-style dross and on the scrapheap by now.

I totally agree with that Loz. Even Joe McElderry has managed to sell twice as many copies of his Christmas Covers Album (signed to another label) than he did copies of his Cowell winner's album (before being dumped by Syco of course). Leona Lewis has been made completely boring as well.


In many ways it's better not to win the xfactor.


As an aside, Micha B is in talks with Missy Elliot for a collaboration and Kelly Rowland is keeping her hand in too. Can't see Cowell letting her go to any other label but his own though.

      Fireworks

      By HeadNun · Posted

      CPR Dave is anti-dogs. Each to their own  I think my dog has perhaps grown a bit less nervy about the fireworks in the last few weeks, interestingly. Our last dog had no problems with them until he reached old age, when he became petrified.  CPR Dave - it's not just sounds of the metropolis they hate, mine collapses in fear when he hears thunder too

      GALA 2026

      By fishboy · Posted

      There's quite a difference between going for a run around the footpaths and trying to sit quietly for an afternoon in a wide, grassy area and enjoying the peace & nature. The other two grassy areas in the park are used for sports, and both had barriered trackway running through them. The Parkrun had to be cancelled for at least three weeks, iirc. I'm concerned by your continued reference to "the rye" - the event is held in the park, not on the rye (common). There is a big difference, despite the organisers and council artificially amalgamating the whole area when trying to convince everyone that it's only a small area that is closed off. The railings & gates enclosing the park are a big clue...

      Inpost "Parcel was refused" at Barry's - anyone else?

      By fishboy · Posted

      So have you cancelled your contract with InPost / Yodel now? If so, that's probably caused hundreds of parcels to be stuck in limbo, as they've said to me before that they can't redirect them to a different store. I have a parcel that was refused by you twice, the last time on 5/12, and since then there's been no updates, despite me calling them 3 times. They just say it's being investigated, but if they now can't physically deliver to you then that is obviously the issue. So much for shopping for Christmas presents early, looks like I'll never get them now.

      Heritage Cheese - fined £75,000

      I thought I noticed the shop being redecorated the other day when I passed. Also the old Romeo Jones had some works going on, I think
