Ooh yeah, feel that X-Factor magic at work
Ah, the time approaches when we’ll have to evaluate G4’s progress. To be specific, the challenge of “As for you folk boosting G4, come back in two years’ time and let’s see if they’re selling big then.” (It’s still my most commented-on post. It’s always the way - something you jot down in a couple of minutes gets a vast reaction. Anyhow.) Let’s wait until December..
From the latest edition of popbitch, so possibly not true, but then again it does have the ring of truth:
X Factor winner Steve Brookstein’s second album sold 200 copies on its release day, Monday.
Ey-owch. Will Young is still going strong. Gareth Gates is history. Michelle McManus.. hmm, not even Gillian McKeith could save here. (Possibly something wrong with previous sentence.) Alex Parks.. anyone? One of the birds from Popstars is in Corrie, not singing. Anyone seen the others?
Though having seen X-Factor last night, I have to say that Dionne was fantastic - what’s up with folk to put her in a singoff and not any of the other rubbish ones - and that the more I listen to him, the more I think Simon Cowell is absolutely correct in what he says - whatever it is.
- These posts might be related (the database thinks..):
- You work too hard, it breaks - Chantelle and Preston, the unsurnamed couple. Are they on Facebook then? (27 June 2007; score: 40.47%)
- G4 perform 'Creep' on the X-Factor: is there a tree high enough to hang them from? (12 December 2004; score: 36.8%)
- And like magic, the phone disappears! (27 August 2004; score: 36.67%)

Apple’s completed the Intel transition, so G4s are yesterday’s news already.
What do you mean, X-Factor? OS X came out YEARS ago, we’re waaaay past that now.
Sorry, Opera? Doesn’t everyone use Safari or Firefox or Camino?
Oh, right: Wikipedia has informed me their third album will be out at the end of November. A nation breathes a sigh of relief, and crosses out “mum” on their “What to get for Christmas??” list.
And their web site informs me they’ve been on Songs Of Praise recently. I wonder if they did Creep.

Hear, hear, Dionne was brilliant. I think she might be suffering from the being-too-good problem. She gets my vote every week from now on. It maybe complete Saturday night tat but X Factor is sooo entertaining and Cowell is unmissable ;-)

I think it is hard to disagree with Simon Cowell sometimes and then I remember Robson and Jerome.

Ah but then Robson and Jerome sold millions and Simon Cowell’s talent is knowing what the public will buy, not necessarily what is good quality music. Sometimes the two overlap, though.
