Darren and Shane
 

Well, Darren Gough won Strictly Come Dancing and Shane won X-Factor. Are we happy with the results?

Re: Darren and Shane
 

It was a real feat to watch then record both programmes.

Very glad Shane won, though they were all fantastic tonight.

It was great Dazza won Strictly, though I agree with the judges and thought Zoe was the best. She was robbed, but again they were all really good. Colin's free style dance with the dummies was dire, though other than that he was brilliant.

Re: Darren and Shane
 

I know, I thought the dummies thing was bizarre. Definitely wanted Darren to win SCD - he just seemed like a really 'sound' bloke.

Since Chico left X-Factor I haven't really been that bothered about who was winning - although I did want Journey South to beat Andy for some reason!

Re: Darren and Shane
 

I wanted Andy to win.. though it dosn't really matter as he'll still get a record deal which will no doubt change his life around.

Re: Darren and Shane
 

I thought Andy was the weakest before the show, though he did up his game, his Christmas song gave me goose bumps.

To Journey South all I'd say is G4 and Steve. One won and was never heard of again, one was runner up and is still in the charts a year later.

Re: Darren and Shane
 

True, Garinda, I think they have more potential although Shane reminds me of Will Young a bit and he's still got a good career going!

Re: Darren and Shane
 

Yes Shane does have a touch of the Wills about him. I hope Kate won't be demanding young girl's money back if he comes out.:eek:

Didn't rave about the single, though I did love Somewhere Over the Rainbow, fantastic.

Re: Darren and Shane
 

i have watched strictly come dancing every week and i am so glad dazeling darren won......i watched x factor for the first time tonight and i thought andy and shane were both fantastic,,,, shame they couldent both win

Re: Darren and Shane
 

thank god they have both finished for twelve months, have you ever watched are heard so much crap in your life? this is my license fee going down the drain, i want entertaining not being told to pick up my mobile and that is another 35p to us thank you!are we becoming a sad society are what ? where are the good old films like whistle down the wind,jason and the skelly wags, we are paying for sh...e. 14 episodes of corrie ,22 episodes of eastenders whats the world comming too?:mad: wake up you sad lot!:engsmil:

Re: Darren and Shane
 

Shayne :wub8:

Re: Darren and Shane
 

What's X-Factor, some sort of new fangled sun creme?

Re: Darren and Shane
 

I'm glad Shane won X Factor it means Sharon Osborne will never speak to us 'the Great British Public' again :) Only joking, at the time I thought Shane had been cheated because the last song was more Andy's style and I thought he made a better job of it but sense prevailed for once and the right man won. I don't think Andy will ever be a bin man again as he too will get a recording contract, Gareth Gates did. The one I felt most sorry for was Andy's little boy and can well understand his tears.

Re: Darren and Shane
 

Perhaps next year they can do 'Who the Fox Idol' for you.

Each week people could vote for the cutest little fox to be hunted by the nasty men.

Boom boom.:)

Re: Darren and Shane
 

Forget who won and think of this 10,000,000 calls or texts were made last night to vote for the winner.At 35p a go that makes my reckoning 3.5 million quid.Its all a con.Only thing i liked about it was that the CD is being made in Blackburn

Re: Darren and Shane
 

It goes to char-i-teee, Simon.:)

Re: Darren and Shane
 

Every penny?

Re: Darren and Shane
 

strictly come dancing said they made 1 and a 1/2 million for children in nead,,,,,,thats not to be sniffed at....

Re: Darren and Shane
 

lets just hope shayne's career doesnt go the same as that other guys did - the one with a lisp*searches google*

gareth gates i think it was...

andy will no doubt release an album of cover versions next yr... the fact that all the finalists are already gearin up for a nationwide tour next yr...

Re: Darren and Shane
 

Oh dear more "manufactured" pop star is all we need. :(

Re: Darren and Shane
 

whos and where 1 child in every ten in the british isles is deemed as below the poverty line and goes hungary not having proper food down there necks,so who dishes out the dosh?

Re: Darren and Shane
 

I would be more worried as to who does get it because an inch tells me it wont be where we expect it to.

Re: Darren and Shane
 

Total Drivel. I watched my microwave instead.

Re: Darren and Shane
 

Brenda had to have the best voice i have seen on the programme but it all boils down to sellability.Looks and the like.

Re: Darren and Shane
 

Not sure I'd say the 'best voice' Mik, a good voice yes, but I do think the best singer won.

Re: Darren and Shane
 

Your poor hamster won't know if he's coming or going.:s_fire:

Re: Darren and Shane
 

The excitement of watching a tv dinner cooking is oustanding entertainment compared to the goggle box.

Re: Darren and Shane
 

I just had another poke around the BBC Children in Need website and found the following info

http://www.bbc.co.uk/pudsey/about_us...north_west.pdf

All the money that came to the North West in 2004.

I think Staggeringman that the majority of the Children in Need money goes to the UK - I think it's Comic Relief that is split half/half with foreign causes.
