Me too

Well that was stupid

Ricky Tomlinson all the way

A top song has gone down in music history, pretty good if you ask me.

Picture all the old dears in 20 years time trying to remember the name of it in a pub quiz

From what I have seen this Joe Lad (why the homophobic reference?) actually is very talented and has a superb singing voice.

Not that he's my cup of tea.

He's about the third best act to win the competition, he's destined to go the Steve Brookstein and Leon Jackson route.

The thing that has struck me recently about the program and the industry is that you do not sell records by having a good voice alone.

What struck me was when they had Macca on the other day, and they gave him a standing ovation, I did wonder how they would have judged him & Lennon in their auditions.

Doubt they'd have made it it more than 2 or 3 rounds.

The characters these programs churn out can sing a good tune, but they are 1 dimensional, and very unlikely to have much longetivity, especially when they have no ability to write their own songs, they are a disposable act who can easily be replaced by next year's good singer

See people moaned about John and Edward, but at least they got people talking and were somewhat, weirdly entertaining.

Would the "untalented idiots" be the ones that appear on the X Factor each year?

Hang on........you don't only watch X Factor, you're now planning on performing an act on the show.

Oh the irony.

OWNED

Knowing full well that none of us can sing and to blatently take the p!ss.

The lad has clearly got a great voice 9which is why I took issue with the poster who called him talentless).

You also appear to be blurring the lines between singers and songwriters. Not all do the same. How many of his own records do you think Elvis Presley wrote?

I am not concerned about the music industry and the ability of anyone to sell records as I don't buy them anymore. Alls I knows is that the lad was a good singer and for an internet no mark to call him talentless is probably a bit rich. He can clearly sing, won the nations biggest talent show and sold quite a lot of records.

I've no idea who these individuals are.

You're clearly into X Factor in a big way aren't you?

Yeah!
