X Factor 2010

[markeee]

bloody hell, joel off of jk and joel tweeted that wagner was 7/1 not to be in the bottom 2 on betfair. i'm having some of that next week. instructions on how to use betfair please?

[ampersand]

lol @ people at work for moaning about wagner. how he's taking the place of a more talented singer. yeah cos i'm sure the show would be much better if that guy with the mohawk and weird ears or the fat dutch woman got through.

apparently in the first week, he got the second most votes, behind one direction. (a wee tip if you want to get money on if odds are good just now)

[Benj]

hardly anyone actually gets a career out of it though, even the winners.

Where did you hear about the voting numbers, I thought they were tightly controlled

[Ed209]

The likes of Same Difference etc, play Butlins and the like too, so even if not massively successful, many do earn serious cash from it, if perhaps only for a short term

[Snufflebutt]

Except Burke, Lewis, JLS, Vickers, Jedward in just the last couple of years. Didnt Olly Murs have a hit sinlge of late too and Joe Eldery is currently in the charts

darius was on that pop star to opera star the other year. he must still be there or there abouts. suzanne from pop idol 2 (my favourite that year) is now a dj on bbc local.

and rick waller still gets name checked on celebrity two word tango

rhydian as well. sara on here was at something the other month that he was performing at.

again, joel off of jk and joel. he tweeted last night after he revealed his bet, that his mate in the know told him.

i think he's right though. last year, and simon has to win it. and it's not going to be belle amie that do it for him. girls one direction!

[eFestivals]

well, forced to watch it last night (bloody kids ), I was highly amused to see Katy Perry make all of those no-talents look like they're got more talent than anyone who has ever existed.

[ampersand]

They release the voting figures at the end of the series. And IIRC the act leading at the start has never gone on to win it. The last 2 years its been Eoghin and Daniel who have led the voting in the first few weeks.

Just can't One Direction winning. If they do, it would be a travesty.

she was awful, wasn't she?

she was far far worse than all the contestants.

I can imagine Russell when she got home. "Yes darling, you were great".

[Snufflebutt]

who do you see winning it though?

matt, i don't see him getting the huge amount of votes needed.

aiden arsed up on saturday, and will no doubt do the same again. he's not very versatile.

rebecca, possibly. i can see it being her and one direction in the final two.

[eFestivals]

To be fair the standard is quite high this year.

really?

In which case thank f**k I've managed to entirely miss every other year.

[ampersand]

Hmm, maybe John Adaleye. Although I can't see the public voting for a black man in his 30's unfortunately, tho Andy Abrahams got to the final (another one who has made money out the x factor). I think TreyC is a bloody good singer as well. Its early days. Leona Lewis wasnt even a shoe-in to win from the first few weeks of her series.

There are groups with wee boys every single year on the X Factor and none of them get anywhere near winning - Eton Park, for example.

[Snufflebutt]

To be fair the standard is quite high this year.

This was the first time I watched it this year and was surprised how good a few of them were.

One Direction are really poor though - The propaganda that was coming from Cowell was hilarious

Next big boy band my arse!!

[swede]

I said it last week and I stand by my statement, WAGNER FTW !!
