Buffalo Bill Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I suspect that the most substantial chunk of that million pounds makes its way to Simon Cowell's production company in management and admin fees. It's better than a poke in the eye but don't be fooled into thinking that the winner walks away with a million spondulicks. Indeed, and what's more, Cowell will dump them as soon as possible if they're not to his taste. The entire show is stacked in his favour. The female judges (DM in particular) are terrified to cross him, or vote off his acts. Cowell always gets the last word, hence his 'emergency meeting' at the weekend.

I P Knightley Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 The xmas single which they usually bring out will be You Are Not Alone by Michael Jackson.... not looking forward to that one. Cant cover that tune. You know what's coming... don't you? Indeed, and what's more, Cowell will dump them as soon as possible if they're not to his taste. The entire show is stacked in his favour. The female judges (DM in particular) are terrified to cross him, or vote off his acts. Cowell always gets the last word, hence his 'emergency meeting' at the weekend. I loved that story. Cowell (some years ago): "What would be great would be if we had a talent show where the GBP vote, thereby indicating the performer that they are most likely to buy lots of records from. I sign up the winner and make an absolute mint." Cowell (Sunday night): "The GBP don't know what they're on about. I want to change the rules."

I can see Cowell (or the production company) having to pay them a substantial amount of money quite soon to come and say something really offensive to the GBP to lose the vote. Or alternatively get Sinitta to spend the whole of next weekend voting for everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I P Knightley Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I'm coming round to enjoying their presence on the show. Someone a while back on JKB described Simon Cowell as slowly killing music. The ongoing inclusion of these two awful singers is a kind of two fingers up to Cowell and his brand of dull, lifeless, money machines. Danyl has got some genuine performing talent. The rest are "just" very good singers who will do whatever they're told to do and do it reasonably well (except the hairy one who can only rock - nothing wrong with that - and the wee Welsh bloke who's ended up out of his depth). If Danyl doesn't win it, I kind of hope it's the twins. Wouldn't part with 35p for the pleasure, though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavsy Van Gaverson Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Hopefully John & Edward go on to win the competition, as it could spell the end for X-Factor. Once they have a winner that goes on to be an absolute failure, the show will lose all respectability (cough, cough). It's ironic that it is the fans of the show that could **** it all up. Happy Days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambo 71 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Those pesky twins are causing problems in the house http://xfactorblog.spaces.live.com/default.aspx?GT1=61503&ocid=today Cops At X Factor House After Jedward Flashing! The X Factor house could be SHUT DOWN by police after numerous complaints from residents. The Sun claims that police were called after teenage girls flashed their breasts at John and Edward Grimes, who allegedly responded by performing a Michael Jackson style skit and grabbing their crotches. Later the crowd chanted and cheered as the Irish twins danced around by a window dressed in nothing but their boxer shorts. If nothing else the boys will be getting a telling off this morning from their mentor. The girls may have gone Jedward crazy but the wealthy local residents are not impressed. The last thing the show needs is the house to be literally busted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am only a bit part watcher of this programme, but never again. What a carve up, my missus said that because the tone deaf lad had a wee sniffle they will get round it by going to deadlock. He was murder last night and was even worse tonight even allowing for a wee sore throat. I think X-Factor lost what little credibility it had tonight and will lose a lot of viewers in doing so.

There's one thing Simon Cowell is, and that's a very good business man. He knows what he's doing. They wont win it, but they're a bit of a cash cow for the show at this early stage.
