X Factor Thread
I'll land up watching, even if the show is old hat. In the audition rounds - watch this be the formula: Deluded wannabee - a run of no's - good singer - a run of yes's - an oddball - male/female on a journey or had a tragedy e.g. goldfish died - they become successful to the 2nd round. Expect the stereotypical gay guy every week too *rolleyes* Do ITV think we are idiots? Why not a week in each city e.g. London, Birmingham, Glasgow etc and mix and match it. Not have it "Good for TV". I suppose if the winner is bad and helped out by political voting - e.g. Leon expect the song to be Christmas #1 :( Simon Cowell - the Vladmir Putin of the music industry. Whatever he wants - he gets. Wouldn't surprise me if he pays the chart company money to keep that song as the Christmas #1.

Cliff's Musical History Bid
It is a bit desperate isnt it? I know Cliff has been going on for a while, but this seems to stink of publicity stunt to mark the 50th anniversary of his career. "Wired For Sound" is his best song, despite the very hilarious video with the people in Power Rangers suits on rollerskates :D

The Cleveland Show
I think this has failure written all over it. I could understand if they based it on Joe or Quagmire even the Goldmans, but Cleveland - he's not that popular. The whole concept of the show seems doomed, and is just the main show recycled in a bad format.

WORST decade in music
00s by far. It's too bland, samey and there is little to appeal.

Flop Follow Up Singles
Steve Brookstein's 2nd single "Chasing Butterflies" deservedly flopped at #175!

Artists you heard that were really good that you ended up
Confession time here: Westlife *awaits being throw heavy items at him* I liked the first three albums + the Greatest Hits. I still think "Tonight" is the best song they've ever done and one of the best songs of 2003. I went off them after the "Mandy" cover and the endless blandness that followed after it. Why can't they give up?

Charity Shops
I have found many a bargain in charity shops with CDs and even cassettes. My best purchase was a rare CD single of "Mama/Who do you think you are" by the Spice Girls! Yesterday when I visited my friend in Lincoln, he found an album of Celia Lawson! (She was Portugal's 1997 representive in Eurovision and got 0)

Mcfly....the Honest spot.
I personally don't mind them. They are just there to have fun and their music makes a change to all the depressing emo acts like Fallout Boy and R and B. They started off well, but it went downhill for them briefly when the second album was released. I just hope all works out for them with their own record label and fair play releasing a free album :)
