X Factor 2009!

This is why I love Simon. He probably realises this year's contestants are all shit anyway so he couldn't care who won it
 
Obviously Simon wants to keep them in - J&E are all the magazines are talking about - printing up t-shirts of support, all the stars are lining up to say how much they love them. There's not really any other talking point to X-Factor this year because they're all boring. Miss Frank were interesting but they got booted out dead early.

I hope this whoel genre of tv prog collapses for the shit that it is and he doesn't add another penny to the millions he's made.
 
Well, I guess it's only fair if they got more votes than she did.

Although I know a lot of people voted for them for a laugh.

If the public vote is the fairest way what is the point of the judges?
 
Simons show loses all credibility but maybe thats the idea behind the voting , ha ha , its no longer a showcase for talent is it this year .

Jedward go ahead to win now and cover a mix mash of I wish it could be chrismas everyday and merry christmas everybody as the xfactor christmas single riding 2 plastic reigndeers with the hair done up like upside down santas beards (no change needed so its probably already been planned) and Simon leaves the country on the first plane to the USA :eek:
 
It's both, innit. Jedward are getting the column inches, and Lucie was a contender. It's win-win for Simon.
 
omfg! :mad: Simon Cowell, you are a fucking moron. :mad: :mad:

My poor mate called with a serious legal question whilst me and my other mate were screaming at the telly. :D I should call her back really. :oops:
 
Dannii gets a lot of stick (or seems to) but is shining this year. Dignified and rising above all the silliness.

Simon might get more respect if he just told us the real reason he saved them.

Interestingly, Dannii is far and away the favourite judge on the Digital Spy forums. Chezza is nowhere compared to her.
 
Oh FFS you can hardly be surprised that Jedward are still in, any pretense that its a "singing competion" is just clearly deluded.

Its a wierd one innit.

The man who said that he hates them, would leave the country if they won and *had* consistently slagged them off, suddenly had the opportunity to get rid of them. And he didnt.

So, you have to ask why.

Is it that he is using them to get rid of the better entrants that could stop any of his guys winning? (vote out the stronger in the sing-off to reduce the potential for some other judge to win).

Or is it more deeprooted than that.

Certainly the press are doing their best to find dirt on Jedward. But the best they have come up with is that they eat Special K.

From within my particular circle (meeja - yeah I know), there are not only stories about resentment within the camp that Jedward have the biggest budget spent on them every week on the performance, but also that they *were* viewed, quite a while ago as a possible new Ant and Dec - there is nothing coming through that is as good as Ant and Dec, so thats possibly a line. However, Jedward arent good enough to take over, so to promote them in a different way (such as a kids TV presenter, the new Zig and Zag, maybe the next Eurovision entrant) has had to be done.

Cowell is wise enough to know that if he states he hates something, nearly everyone else will like it (and vote for it just to 'fuck him off' as it were), as these days his profile and reputation are enough to allow him to employ reverse psychology.

The biggest problem is that Cowell had the opportunity to get rid of a duo who he has repeatedly admiited he hates. But he didnt. Which would suggest he has a vested interest in the outcome of the whole show. And of Jedward too

And if he does, then this will possibly be the last X Factor. Who would want to enter it and believe they can win if Cowell believes that he already has the winner beforehand and engineers then show around them?

And *if* it turns out that the whole show is engineered to get jedward to win, how long will it be before all your text messages are refunded.

I dont know why, but I smell a massive, massive rat on this. Cowell was painted into a corner, but failed to send home a duo who he has proclaimed he hates and would leave the country for.

I think this has more to run

(or he might have just watched Bill and Ted and thought he was Rufus :D)

To all you bitching at jeward still being in- did you vote for Lucie or any of the others lol

well no but I dont need to vote to be able to tell that the 12 yr olds that were singing and dancing outside my local tescos express have more talent than jedward but not Lucy :D

Xfactor I thought was supposed to be about singing wheras Britains got talent was for off the wall "talent" :hmm:


Im not the biggest lover of the type of music that Leona Lewis does but she really showed even me tonight how very bleak this years finalists are going to be .

Bad move by Cowell in my opinion but does he really care , doubt it , it wont be long before hes permanently on USA TV and leaves it all behind and my guess after all this it will give him the excuse he needs.

Lucy could have been good with the right backing imo as could the girl who got kicked off last week , even more so with a bit of direction but thats not the point anymore is it now that the media have gotten into the Jedward mode

It wont be long now though before they get the big press kicking and comedown but maybe not until after the xmas single in sickly cardigans that all the nans will buy for the grandkids and then they will be doing childrens tv before they get exposed for drugs and porn :rolleyes:
 
Of course, it could just be that Cowell and Walsh had a drunken chat one night where Cowell blagged that he could make even the shittest of talent famous, and that the tow of them subconsciouly recreated the film Trading Places.....

Dont forget that they (in this case X Factor) control the press via PR and virals blah blah. Up to 70% of what you read in a redtop is generated by PR companies. Its just a press release transcibed as news. And us poor proles - well we just *love* celeb gossip dont we, so they PR keeps churning out stories and most of the general public suck it up.

eta - if you dont believe me about the PR as news thing - have a look at the papers. Anything that is a survey done by 'blah' is a press release. Anything that is TV. film, radio or anything else in that general area is a press release.
Anything that is an interview is a press release.

its just how it is, but until someone point it out you may not realise. Which means that there are a lot of people reading Press Releases, beleiving its news and then acting upon it :(
 
I'm really upset that Simon effectively sent Lucie home. He's been negative about every single good act in the show all the way through because he wants to make his own shitty acts seem better. Now he's taken it to a ridiculous level and I want to punch him in the face.
 
Really upset? It's the X Factor for chritsakes? If ever there was a time to bring up that cheesy phrase about the WahBulance this is it.
 
For hatred and panto lols?

You'll be telling me that it's a proper singing contest of genuine importance next. It's just panto tv, innit?
