X-Factor in credible winner shock!

The only winner is Simon Cowell, wise up suckers

I suspect everyone knows that.

Hopefully, this show will not be around too much longer either as it has had its day.

However, your comment was pointless in as much on the principle of the show, did someone 'win' the show or not?

Cowell, as much as I dislike him, is not a winner but I have to admire him for his business acumen. He takes a no brainer of a concept and watches the public buy into it. I'd be pretty happy if I too had come up with the concept and made millions from manufactured singers.

But as I stated above, James Arthur 'won' last nights show and he is actually relevant and a pretty decent singer, so was my statement correct or not?

I am pleased he won. Either him or Ella would have been fine for me. Now I hope they release albums with good songs that I can buy! (yes, I know I am donating to the Simon Cowell Ferrari/Maybach fund, but hey, at least he is spending the money on cars).

Never trust a man with a butterfly cake for a haircut.

Car fan or not, the bloke is still a very clever, but equally foul twunt.

yet I was thinking today (shock horror) - the X-factor must cost a few quid to lay on too you realise. PsyCo will have to tee up all the auditions around the country, the rental/dressing of venues, crowd control etc. The production won't be cheap, plus all the overseas guff.

I know it is a mahooosive cash cow and tax on the young and stupid, but I would be intrigued to see the accounts for the series all said and done.

If only it were shown on a national commercial network.

You know, the sort that would pay Syco millions to show it.

The same one that is insistent on a 10 minute rolling advertising schedule.

So James Arthur aka "sugar puff teeth" won. I really think he will do the normal male X-factor thing and fade into nothing. Hope not, but think he will.

Found James Arthur has got a few tracks on Soundcloud under the 'The James Arthur Project' - Done a few months ago. Pretty good!

Says on Wikipedia that it was 7.4% of Maloney from the freeze. Whatever that means.

Just downloaded James' Impossible track.. Sounds very good on a proper production/not live.

On the Saturday night they will have frozen the voting and seen who was in 3rd place. They then recommence the voting with the final 2, I would imagine this is where the 7% for Maloney comes from.

James' votes shot up after he was in the bottom 2.

I think this is the first time a bottom 2 person has won.
