I put €10 on daniel being the last over 25 in the competition. Do i have any hope.....
I see you were going for value!:p:pac:
If we have learned anything from the past few weeks it is that anything is possible. Chris Moyles and Edith Bowan (sp?) both have campaigns to try and get people to vote for Daniel. It seems to be working as Ruth and Rachel seem to have an unstable relationship with the public; they'll vote for them one week, the next they are in the Bottom Two. I think this is now two weeks since Daniel has been in the bottom two.0 -

Source The SunDJ Chris Moyles is throwing his considerable weight behind X Factor’s Daniel Evans — to annoy Simon Cowell.
Radio 1’s Moylesy, 34, urged listeners to vote for Daniel, 38.
And he hopes the pool cleaner survives for another week, to entertain the nation with his bad dancing and ability to infuriate judge Simon, 49.
He said: “Daniel looks like Rick Astley's dad and has no chance of winning and that’s why we all have to vote for him!
“The people at X Factor will hate us doing this. It’s going to be brilliant.”0 -
Interesting short video with John Barrowman. What he says about Laura is what I've always said all along, except he has an actual word for it.:pac:

Yeah, where did I say I didn't? I accept other people have different tastes, different opinions. Doesn't mean I have to understand them, doesn't mean I don't have the right to be baffled by them.Don't be so narrow-minded, you know that other people have different tastes to you yes?
And in my opinion (remember, it's just as valid as yours) her quirks such as the hand movements, the yelping and the ludicrous accent are contrived, irritating and forced.her gestures with her hand and her overall style really strike a chord with me and obviously with a lot of people. It's my opinion that she has a very distinct singing style and her performances are different to virtually any recording artist in the world today.
LOLIt also helps that Diana is hot. I also suspect that this may be part of the reason she annoys you so much.
suspect away! Because of course any time a female is critical of an attractive (in some peoples' eyes) female, it can only mean jealousy of her looks, even if her looks have zero to do with what's being discussed. Remember, you're the one who has brought looks into this. And by making an accusation like that, you're dissing my opinion and telling me I'm wrong, which you made clear at the start of your post is something you disapprove of (and rightly so).
Funnily enough, I think Diana is extremely unremarkable looking - that's another thing actually which I don't understand about the Diana worshipping, the way her looks are spoken of as if she's on a par with Cheryl Cole. But you think Diana's hot - "I suspect that this may be part of the reason" you like her so much.
So if she wasn't hot, would you still have such a high opinion of her style? Because you've kinda discredited yourself with the "it helps that she's hot" tacked on at the end.
I think Alexandra's far better than Diana. I also think she's far better looking than Diana, so your theory fails...0 -

Yeah, where did I say I didn't? I accept other people have different tastes, different opinions. Doesn't mean I have to understand them, doesn't mean I don't have the right to be baffled by them.
But you see, you said that you cannot understand why people like her. Then you contradict that by saying you understand that people have different tastes. Are you now saying that you cannot understand why people like her, you just don't like her and wish people would vote her off.And in my opinion (remember, it's just as valid as yours) her quirks such as the hand movements, the yelping and the ludicrous accent are contrived, irritating and forced.
I know your opinion is valid and I appreciate where you are coming from, however, since Diana was performing in the same way at her first audition I don't think her style is as contrived as you are making out. Of course, all artists and musicians contrive their style to a degree, Michael Jackson wasn't born doing Moonwalks.LOL suspect away! Because of course any time a female is critical of an attractive (in some peoples' eyes) female, it can only mean jealousy of her looks, even if her looks have zero to do with what's being discussed.
Women just have a tendency to be militant in their opinions about hot, successful blonde (even ginger dyed blondes like Diana) women.And by making an accusation like that, you're dissing my opinion and telling me I'm wrong, which you made clear at the start of your post is something you disapprove of (and rightly so).
I'm not dissing your opinion, I am saying you are wrong though. But that's how discussion and debate works.Funnily enough, I think Diana is extremely unremarkable looking - that's another thing actually which I don't understand about the Diana worshipping, the way her looks are spoken of as if she's on a par with Cheryl Cole. But you think Diana's hot - "I suspect that this may be part of the reason" you like her so much.
You are right, it helps. Cheryl Cole is far too skinny these days for my liking anyway, it's a shame.So if she wasn't hot, would you still have such a high opinion of her style? Because you've kinda discredited yourself with the "it helps that she's hot" tacked on at the end.
Yes, I would still have such a high opinion of her. I'm a big fan of AC/DC, I do not want to bang Bon Scott (live or dead versions).I think Alexandra's far better than Diana. I also think she's far better looking than Diana, so your theory fails...
I would tend to agree with you on both points actually, Alexandra for me is too stage school and she always seems to be acting a role when she is talking to the judges/thanking them etc. For that reason, I feel she is less Member of the Public turned X Factor contestant and is more Stage School Graduate who has plenty of training.
She is very hot though, I'll be very torn if they are both in the final.0 -
I don't see it that way. I appreciate people have different tastes but it's not unreasonable to wonder why about certain tastes.But you see, you said that you cannot understand why people like her. Then you contradict that by saying you understand that people have different tastes.
Sorry but that's a ridiculous generalisation. I agree, SOME women are very jealous of attractive blonde females but not "women" full stop. The jealous women who try to find reasons to bitch about good-looking, successful women do so to make them feel better about themselves. However, in this case, I'm critical of Diana because I think she's sh1t.Women just have a tendency to be militant in their opinions about hot, successful blonde (even ginger dyed blondes like Diana) women.
Wait a sec... In situations like this there's no right and wrong, there's just opinions/perspectives. It's all pretty much subjective.I'm not dissing your opinion, I am saying you are wrong though. But that's how discussion and debate works.
Yeah I agree. She's still very beautiful though, and would be incredible if she put on some weight. (As a side: if I said that on After Hours I'd be accused of being jealous, bitter, probably fat etcCheryl Cole is far too skinny these days for my liking anyway, it's a shame. yet you said the same thing but it's not ok for me to say it because I'm a woman!) 0 -

They have no basis to this but the boys and girls over at Digital Spy reckon this is what the winner will be singing;
If it's true, I wonder which contestant they had in mind when they picked it.:pac:0 -

Very doubtful, previous winners who have sung covers have never used a song released in the UK charts as a single. Evergreen was just an album song for Westlife and A Moment Like This was never released in the UK as a single before Leona did it as far as I know.0 -
I don't see it that way. I appreciate people have different tastes but it's not unreasonable to wonder why about certain tastes.
That's not what you said though, you said you don't understand why the like Diana, even though you perfectly well understand that it's because of their personal taste.Sorry but that's a ridiculous generalisation. I agree, SOME women are very jealous of attractive blonde females but not "women" full stop.

I can't be blamed for inherent sexism in modern society when it comes to opinions on members of the same sex now can I!!! By the way, if Cheryl Cole put on 6lbs then you could basically close the book on FHM Hottest Woman competitions for the next 5/6 years in my opinion.0 -
