Hobgoblin11 Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 If anyone else has just seen the Uk show of X-Factor, they will know that Leona has won. I haven't really been following the show much, but listening to her tonight, I think that some of the major world supertars have their work cut out to compete with her! She is the first woman to reach the final of X-Factor anywhere in the world, consequently the first woman to win it. Singing 'I will always love you' tonight, she was just absolutely phenomenal. Leona has now won a ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã1Million record deal, and her single (which is just awesome) is tipped to be the UK Christmas number one. Pop critics have said for a long time that Britain will never produce a world class singer that can compete with the likes of Mariah, Whitney Housten, but I think we have now found her. Please, go out and buy her single on Monday, and I promise you it will not disappoint.

Anesthesia Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 It is a stupid UK programme similar to Pop Idol or American Idol. It probably involves voting off. Ever heard the song "It's Chico Time"? No? Be thankful. Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

assassin_696 Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 I hate that program normally, the auditions are a freak show and the eventual winners tend to sound like every other generic "has a voice but nothing special" popstar nowadays, and are forgotten quickly. But my sister was watching it last night and I was in the background, and wow, Leona really does have a voice. She clearly deserved to win, I don't know how far she'll get but that girl really does have a special voice. I just hope her single really tests her voice like those two songs did, it's when she performs at her best.

Hobgoblin11 Posted December 17, 2006 Author Share Posted December 17, 2006 Lol, erm, those 'Freaky people' Were the others who were competing on the live shows I think. Anesthesia, you clearly have not seen the show, judgoing by your 'probably' included in your last sentence. It is therefore highly unlikely that you have heard Leona sing, and as such I don't think you are any place to comment. 99/99 Fletching, 99/99 Cooking, 96/99 Strength Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever heard the song "It's Chico Time"? No? Be thankful. But they're good shows, like How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria, and EuroVision. You cannot be serious, EuroVision is a complete joke nowadays, nobody that goes on it can sing, the only real reason to watch it is a bunch of Macedonian girls in short skirts attempting to sing. In any case, this Leoanna will probably be forgotten in a few monthes like so many of the people that alledgedly had the 'x factor'. Face it, the only point of those shows is the phone-ins, thousands/millions of people ring who they want and the producers make millions. Perfect illustration of corruption. However more people vote for these shows than they do the general election so what does that tell you about the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobgoblin11 Posted December 17, 2006 Author Share Posted December 17, 2006 [However more people vote for these shows than they do the general election so what does that tell you about the country. Actually, that is complete rubbish, 26.4 million people voted in the 2001 General election, the total number of votes for Saturday nights show was 8 million, and you can be sure as hell that it wasn't 8 million different people voting. And as for Reality TV shows, some of the winners do take off, statistically though the runenrs up have as good a chance as the winners at 'making it'. Lemar was runner up, Liberty X were runners up, however Will Young was the winner (but has since faded somewhat), Girls Aloud were winners (I think), but they are the only ones to really come out with anything. Granted then, that the likes of Shane Lynch, Gareth Gates, G4, One True Voice and Hear'Say have all faded into nothingness. 99/99 Fletching, 99/99 Cooking, 96/99 Strength Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caligula101 Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 8 million in one night granted, however its been going on for about 12 weeks. Hardly complete rubbish afterall 8 million times by 12=96 million which is of course > 26.4 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobgoblin11 Posted December 17, 2006 Author Share Posted December 17, 2006 Whilst it got more votes overall than the General election, the General election was at a somewhat disadvantage due to the fact that each person can only vote once. Not every show got 8 million votes either, it was only because it was the final that it got that obscene amount. Anyway, we are getting off-topic... 99/99 Fletching, 99/99 Cooking, 96/99 Strength Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually why would anybody want to vote at all? Where is there money going, do they think about this? Because i'll tell you where it's going, in the pockets of sum rich [wagon] producer, who's laughing at the stupidity of the British public. Honestly that 'million pound recording contract' is but a needle in the amount of money the producers are raking off this show. Leonna is but a puppet, they don't give a damn if she can sing, they put a price on her head and people fork out the money to buy her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You remind me a hell of a lot of someone I know, who thinks that every prson in the world is out to make money and to screw other people over. He also thinks that everything is fascist or going communist. Basically he is a bit of an idiot. And actually, a decent chunk of money goes to charity, so these 'money grabbing producers' are clearly not all bad. Have a little faith in people, it will get you further in life than being continuously pessimistic. We digress!

kelem_ryu Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 The Austrian offspring of this type of show has produced somebody who is actually quite popular in these lands (and has won some awards in germany). She only landed on the 2nd place during the show though. One of her songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
