You're doing it wrong. Shouldn't we be voting (or not, of course) for the best potential popstar?

Fr'instance: in a stand up fight I bet Danii can technically sing better than Kylie but Kylie is the better popstar. Colgate Man might technically be better than Austin but he's a shit popstar. Hard Knocks Hard Face might be techincally better than Bleeding Diana but she's no popstar either. Will was/is a better popstar than Gareth. Gavin? Gareth?

Or am *I* doing it wrong? I used to go out on Saturday nights you know. :(

well, yes the vote is for the act with the 'x-factor' and as I said I vote (though not actually vote) if I were to my vote (I won't) would be based on the best overall performance tonight and not simply the best singer. Thus my 'vote' goes to Diana Vickers. I think, were she to go for the creepy strange angle, would make the best pop star.

O course the x-factor was always a reference to the unknown cause of clumsiness in clumsy people in my day (when I was a young dog and had one)

Oh my god, I would lose a limb in order for Fame Academy to come back.

Most people think it was just the same as X Factor et al, but it WASN'T. Oh it was wonderful....

love the emphasis on the WASN'T.
Appropriate use of capitals ftw

i disliked parks, he was too 'industry' fro my liking.
jeremy made my skin crawl a little.
carrie and david were lovely, so very nice. do you know they are now making children's programmes.
dancer man was cool, i loved it when he shouted at them
good old days
 
also it had the big brother stylle reality aspect.

didn't lemar have an affair on it? i'm sure.

oh and that darkhaired gothicky girl who snogged horrible indie boy who went out with fearne cotton a bit.

he was awful. he told alex parks she had bad breath.

:D Yes you are quite right. I misread your post as I am slightly drunk and coming down off a Wispa rush.

Let us all marry!

none of that rings a bell.

i did like it when they did some sort of leaving celebration and they all got dressed up and had dinner, am i the only one who remembers that?

Ha. Darn, so close!

Jeremy was a creeepy get.

I loved Ainslie from the first series, and Alistair from the second. (And Pete.)

i wanted alistair to do really good, he was so nice.

pete was idiotface though. although maybe i just think that now cos he kept stumbling around celeb parties? i think i liked him when he was on the programme.

he kept kissing carolynne. that was her name. she had a fella i think, or he was attached. there was some scandal there.

she was purdy.
 
Yeah, Pete and Alex the 'lesbian' apparently got up to some stuff just before they all moved into the big house and started filming. But then he went off with boring Carolynn. Naughty. And he had a proper girlfriend too!

no they need to sing again then the judges vote off the loser. you should know how this works by now
think it's a good idea that they get to choose their own song for what will be one group's last song.
 
i want badlashes to stay i think


poor louis. there's something about him that makes me sad. maybe it's cos he doesn't have a wife. i imagine he's quite lonely.

this is all conjecture.

I'm sorry. I'm not being a snob but I haven't watched X Factor past the regional auditions before so I don't know about this finals stuff.

So why were the public voting if the judges get to decide?
