Would have been a bigger surprise if Eggnog Quignog had been No.1!

Please tell me that I am not the only person in the world who cannot stand the song Hallelujah (sung by anyone).

Let's say I am not impressed with this X factor winner and especially her Christmas #1. I don't like how Simon Cowell has ruined the Christmas #1 contest. Oh no, Robert will be upset, I've already mentioned Xmas this year. Have the department stores put up their 2009 decorations yet? I couldn't believe John Lewis, Bhs and M&S had their decorations up in early October last year. :shock:

And I despise how Leona Lewis has ruined the Snow Patrol song Run. :cry: I don't like her either.

Ever heard of a female singer called Sia, Jeff?

I believe I've heard one or two songs by Sia. :wink:

Please don't tell me that Sia has recorded Hallelujah. :cry: The other day I heard Il Divo sing it and it was certainly painful. :evil: Simon Cowell needs to disappear for a long time.

No, Sia hasn't recorded Hallelujah you'll be pleased to hear.
I'm not a massive fan of the song either.

I certainly agree with everything you have to say about X Factor and Simon Cowell, Paul. I'm sure that all these performers - Leona Lewis, Alexandra etc. - are very much "here today, gone tomorrow" types who wll be forgotten in a couple of years' time. And quite rightly too.

X Factor's Minimum Wage
Posted Fri 9 Jan 2009 12:19PM GMT by Mitch Carter in The Guestlist

Despite becoming the first British female solo artist to sell over 1 million singles in the UK, Alexandra Burke is only earning £250 a night for live appearances according to the Daily Mail.


Her debut single Hallelujah outsold Leona Lewis' debut and is set to become the best-selling single by a female artist this decade, ousting current record-holder Kylie Minogue who has sold 1.1 million copies of Spinning Around.

Alexandra is currently performing alongside Laura White, Eoghan Quigg, Diana Vickers and Rachel Hylton as part of the X Factor tour. Her co-stars will receive a similar amount but boyband JLS will only earn £100 each per night for their performances.

Tax, a 20% management fee and expenses will also be deducted from their earnings.

Tickets for London's O2 arena start at £28.50 meaning a sold-out performance could earn organisers over half a million pounds.

I saw her on tv yesterday. Her voice didn't sound bad but was rather drowned out by the music, she spoke well though. I'm afraid I've forgotten her real name already.
Marian :D
