X Factor
 

Chico has now gone!Who is going to win?

we have Brenda
Andy
Shayne
Journery South

SO WHO WILL IT BE?

Re: X Factor
 

The one with the most votes. As I dont watch it gonna guess at Brenda.

Re: X Factor
 

Brenda Is Very Good Great Guess

Re: X Factor
 

Don't care, don't care, don't care - singing lalalalalala with fingers in my ears. I wanted Chico to win and I wanted Jimmy to win I'm a Celeb - so disappointed. Although I suppose I could have actually helped them both by voting!

Re: X Factor
 

Brenda has the better voice & I would love her to win it, but think it will be Shane as it tends to be women who vote.

Re: X Factor
 

Now what does that say about these kind of programs?

Re: X Factor
 

Please all vote Brenda. She has one fab voice.
I cant vote cause i have premium numbers blocked on my BT line.

Brenda to win !

Re: X Factor
 

Ok jimmi will have to take your word for it as I dont watch it. Is she worth a shot at the bookies?

Re: X Factor
 

I think ... Shayne will win.

Re: X Factor
 

I think its between Andy and Brenda, but I am getting a little tired of the sob stories.... boo hoo I'm a binman etc.etc.

Re: X Factor
 

Come on young Mr Timmins, why don't you open a book up in the betting shop?

These ackers are burning a hole in my pocket.

Re: X Factor
 

Proberly not sporty enough for him

Re: X Factor
 

We had a book on Big Brother, and I won more ackers than I ever dreamed of.;)

Re: X Factor
 

Think it may be Shayne that wins, although I like Journey South.

Re: X Factor
 

I think Journey South will be the next to go, leaving Brenda, Andy and Shane as the most well deserved winner :)

BUT I will miss Chico this week :(

Re: X Factor
 

I think Andy will be next to go - he's a bit of a one trick pony, good crooner but limited beyond that.

Re: X Factor
 

Hmmm I couldn't imagine Andy on Top Of The Pops some how ........ a cruise ship maybe!

Re: X Factor
 

Brenda to win, I think.

Re: X Factor
 

Brenda ...Brenda....Brenda .....

Re: X Factor
 

See I was right......................................:)

Re: X Factor
 

oh well Andy back to the bins!! Wonder how many people will give him a christmas tip!!!

Re: X Factor
 

no way ,he was too good to be discarded...........bet he is just as poppular as shayne,,,,,lets watch this space.

Re: X Factor
 

cant stand shows like the x factor - fuelling yet more corporate blandness into the charts and stopping decent new music getting radio air-play.
pop music IS dead :(

Re: X Factor
 

Unlike the sixties with all the manufactured bands cashing in on the 'Mersey Sound'?

Re: X Factor
 

thats the problem with pop music; whenever something new and pure and good comes through, the industry keeps reproducing it until it is bland, tasteless turd....thus creating shows like this to find the next wannabe turd

Re: X Factor
 

It's always been the same. Music is an industry of men in suits, from Col. Parker to Malcolm McClaren.

Re: X Factor
 

Malcolm McClaren just needed an energetic medium to sell clothes.
He didnt care about the music or what it stood for.
As is the story of 99.9999999% of the 'suits' in music.
Of course there is always the odd Tony Wilson bobbing around somewhere...

Re: X Factor
 

The same Tony Wilson who wears a suit, and made a fortune from bands and clubs?

Re: X Factor
 

never 'owned' a band Tony Wilson
never held a contract to a band Tony Wilson
constantly looking for new talent Tony Wilson
discovered Joy Division (& New Order obviously) and Happy Mondays!
in my opinion the industry could do with a lot more Tony Wilsons!!

Re: X Factor
 

totally agree GC I never voted on any of these programmes before but last night I did vote for Andy.............he'll make it regardless, look at Will Young......he too came 2nd! Wheres Gareth Gates these days?

Re: X Factor
 

yeah the one you shared a pod with Rindy!!! XX:p

Re: X Factor
 

Think Will Young actually won!

Re: X Factor
 

Sorry i thought he was runner up? oh well, where is Gareth anyhow maybe he's giving out scratch cards as well!!

Re: X Factor
 

No just the guy who wore the suit, and owned the said bands record labelm making him ooldes of dosh.

Nothing against the geezer, but he's not at total altruist.

Re: X Factor
 

No Will won, Ggggggggggggareth came second.

Will did this with his eyes when the result was announced, beating the favourite-

Rindy streetches eyes wide, looking more like lovely Will, than the rubbery faced Anthony Wilson.:eek:

Re: X Factor
 

actualy the label you're talking of, Factory records, all the money made from it went straight into his Manchester nightclub where he lost a lot of money due to no one buying drinks (because of the escalating drug scene at the time) and forking out for big name DJs etc.

i know what you mean though he is no way straight but he does run his label for a lot of the right reasons, looking for great new bands in unthinkable places instead of owning a conveyor belt running off thousands of Kylies.....shudder shudder

Re: X Factor
 

He did make money. I 'know' him.;)

Re: X Factor
 

The Hacienda was going for years before the E-scene started as well.

Again I was there.

Re: X Factor
 

ah the Hacienda - couldnt remember the name; came up with some rather silly ones haha.

i know it was there a while before the whole Madchester thing, just saying that he lost a lot of money in the place.
i just admire the guy for finding one of my favourite bands (Joy Division) and for the whole ideaology of Factory records, "the artist owns all their music and publishing rights and everyone else can f**k off" in his own blood! bonkers!

Re: X Factor
 

We won't fall out, as we basically agree again.:)

Bit worrying.

Re: X Factor
 

rather!

btw i saw 24 Hour Party People the other night which is why i got on my high horse ha ha

Re: X Factor
 

I set the video for it but it didn't work. Arrgghhhhh.:mad:

Re: X Factor
 

wasnt too great, Steve Coogan trying to be Tony Wilson and coming off as Alan Partridge yet again!
Ralf Little appeared as Hooky from Joy Division which was great!
the hallucinations in the Happy Mondays section of the film were hilarious, at one point Tony Wilson 'saw God', and of course - it looked exactly like........Tony Wilson!
all because of some great gear Shaun Ryder brought back from the bahamas
haha
