The X Factor

[Ladygooner]

Who the hell is voting for "Same Difference"?! They are dreadful! The only thing they would be good for is a kids show on Saturday mornings. I say vote for Nicki!

[LizzygotDizzy]

I have to agree, I think the girl irritates me more than her brother though, its that grin and figgityness and jumping about, drives me potty. I like Rydian at the mo although Nicki is a very good singer, opinions change each week, but they are certainly scraping the barrel at the mo.

lizzy youre just obsessed with exxxxxs

[LizzygotDizzy]

Lol, could be, starting to question my own sanity!

I have two major issues with the finalists:

1) Too many acts that sound like musical theatre. Do people really want pop stars that sound like they should be singing The Phantom of the Opera? There IS a place for them... on stage. For Chrissakes.

2) Too much focus on how well they can sing and too little on how attractive they are! The dinner lady has a fantastic voice but she looks like a dinner lady. Who is going to buy her records?

The X-Factor is an entertainment show under the guise of the tried and tested 'search for a star' format. It isn't really about who can sing any better than anyone else or who's going to sell records.

There's only one star of the show.. and that's Mr Cowell.

I think you will find that Same Difference come from Portsmouth - i.e. gods country. They are therefore natural winners.

Plus they are the only pop act in it!

[georgia]

Well I have managed to get free tickets to the show on the 15th Dec (tu)

Will be dragging Mr Georgia along kicking and screaming...

[James]

I am soooo jealous Georgia!

[Michael Palaeologus]

Now, the thought of Mr Georgia sitting in an X-Factor audience makes me smile :))

[Ladygooner]

Well that result was just wrong! Rhydian was by far the better singer!

[citizenED]

Absolutely LG! the term is "a travesty" methinks.

[KalamityKel]

Wish I had put some money on the outcome... would have won a few quid!

[spadetownboy]

glad the riddler got beat,he,s just too one dimensional plus he also thought he was a dead cert to win it just like stutter boy thought he was against will young.so yeh glad rids got beat i just couldnt stand the thought of having to look at him and that barcode on his cheek for the next 6 months.

[KalamityKel]

:o spade... u not got any scars yaself?

[ratty]

Leon was on GMTV this morning and was ATTROCIOUS!

Did anyone else think that Same Difference, despite being brother and sister, were (ahem) at it?

[Keef]

There was definitely something strange about them!

The young boy who won probably won because he got the 12 year old girls' votes.

[Ladygooner]

Same Difference definitely had a touch of the Carpenters about them!

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I thought they were more Peters & Lee!

[EDOldie]

The Carpenters were talented. Big Difference.

[*Bob*]

SD girl has funny legs. Slightly too far apart and straight all the way down. They look like Bod's legs.

Her brother looks like a children's TV presenter on crack.

Rhydian's eyes are far too close together. Any closer and they'd be a Venn Diagram.

Leon can't sing and has to wobble his entire body to get any sort of vibrato in his voice. And he just looks a bit dirty. Like he hasn't washed properly.

But music was the real winner.

[James]

Same Difference - a touch of the Carpenters? The Krankies, more like

I quite liked Same Difference. Watching a woman that could out-camp most Gay men was a sort of pleasure. Not sure there was any jiggy jiggy going on, it doesn't really bare thinging about.

Rhydian was a bit of a freak, but at least had some prescence, in a sort of sub-Liberace meets Evangelist Preacher way.

Leon just seemed malnourished. Surely, there is something the make-up crew could have done with those shadows under his eyes.

[georgia]

We watched the live show which was great. I'm glad Leon won actually as Rhydian will do ok for himself even though he didn't win. I think Leon deserves the opportunity. Same Difference are ok but shouldn't have been in the final...
