And Same Difference are pretty amusing lol.. they're not that bad, but I don't see them winning it (it would be cool though lol).

Simon is easily gonna give them a record deal by the end of it - they'll probably release a cheesy Christmas album in a couple of weeks I think. Imo They're just like Aqua or Steps :p

I only ever watch the auditions, after that it annoys me to think that they actually think they are good.

nickh

@f1tch
haha yeah the auditions are the best part probably.. some of them are hilarious ;D

But look at last year's winner, she is doing amazingly well at the moment... so some of them are alright :p

f1tch

@f1tch
They only do well because of the show, they get so much attention because of it that the 8 year old girls go out and buy the record regardless of what it's like. The only act to properly do well from any of the talent show things are Girls Aloud & Will Young, the rest are hopeless lol.

nickh

@f1tch
Well actually... Lemar, Leona Lewis, Shane Ward and Kelly Clarkson have all done extremely well from their tv talent shows! :p

....and Rik Waller!!

f1tch

@f1tch
They all have one thing in common though, guess what it is.

nickh

@f1tch
What? That they all came from tv talent shows? if that's so then you blatantly just contradicted yourself up there when you named Girls Aloud and Will Young as acts that have done well. They're just the same as the people I named

nickh

...anyway, why are we arguing about Will Young and Girls Aloud lol :p Let's talk about the current show!

f1tch

@f1tch
they have hardly all done extremely well, i named girls aloud because they have just broke america, and will young because he has been going the longest. The rest bearly sell records, just because you have a no. 1 doesn't mean you're doing well, 50, 000 records sold in a week gets you a no. 1. Anyway, aslong as the brother and sister don't win this year i don't mind lol.

Same Difference are just too annoying, the girl doing her thumbs up and stupid face .... it's just not normal for a brother and sister to be that close and happy.

I like Rhydian, I think he's the best singer and performer by far.

But Australian Idol is much better talent wise than X Factor ((:

nickh

@natasha
You can't deny that it would be funny if Same Difference came first... or even second though! :p

Rhydian should win yeah, he's the bookies' favourite by far at the moment, but I think Leon could come close

DreadLord-

I seriously don't want Same Difference to win. They just don't make good music because their not that good vocally. Every week they continue singing bad and even more crap sounding songs that Simon can only think for them and annoy Louis more.

Rhydian would be an absolute bizzare winner but he has been quite consistent with the criticism and surely got the judges vote to keep him in as well as the public. Leon I some how thought was going to go out earlier on but seems like he was given a big chance to redeem himself and could possibly win if he attemps to pick the right songs and sings them well :P.

Niki.... wtf I wanted her in the finals instead of Same Difference.

nickh

@DreadLord-
Same Difference are well funny! I voted for them last night too haha ;D

I guess its either gonna be Leon or Rhydian winning it..

nickh

gg Leon!

i did think he'd win it last night... although throughout the whole tournament it looked like rhydian was gonna win hands down. leon got so much better as the tourney went on tho

@nickh
On the night Leon was terrible, was the first ever XFactor ive seen and Same Difference (the inbreds) were terrible and will be in a high school musical style TV show and Leon will breakdown every gig and sound terrible.

Rhydian will make millions on stage - the next michael crawford easily.

From IRC -
nickh: well you need a bit of dick every now and then

You can see why Leon got nicks vote

nickh

@nickh
TO BE FAIR... i didnt actually vote last night

Leon has progressed so much over the past few months though. Same Difference were well good last night lol!

Chris0

@nickh
But not denying the quote, great.

Same Difference ruined a classic and when they dung with jason donovan the male inbred in same difference hardly sung at all, was pointless him turning up

nickh

"Last time I checked, there are far fewer Scottish people in the UK, so you can hardly blame it on a biased vote. Basically, the majority of the public realised they don't want to buy opera singles. Leon has a great voice and was given some bad songs to sing along the way. I do think the standard of contestants this year aren't as good as last year but Leon deserved to win."

@nickh
lol yeah but the Scots treated last night like it mattered.... They all voted 10x for Leon, just because he was scottish, the scots have nothing else to do. I bet they didn't realise they were paying 35p for each vote, that's going to take weeks of work to pay that off.

That proves my point that he was given crap songs, which made him sound bad and STILL won, even thought he sounded terrible. Scots are no lifers!!

DreadLord-

@nickh
I some how disagree, Leon can be credited for his entertaining voice and raw talent but who could have imagined that he was going to win it from the very beginning? Imo, he was terrible, he showed such a bad first impression where as Rhydian (quoted by Simon) said "potentially world class"!?!? I thought Leon should had gone eariler but I was suprisingly impressed by his major come back. Although I still think that acts such as Nikki and Beverely should had been in the final, you have to admit they had great voices o_O.

Also just to clarify another thing, Same Difference are just way overrated. I feel sorry for the fact they received many criticism from Louis but it was the truth. Justice was going to prevail in the end and I knew they were going to get the lowest votes in the final. You just can't imagine them winning a national singing competition with that much cheesiness.
