Amazing scenes from the Trafford Centre:

Two possible explanations:

Arrow The Fame Academy viewers are so committed that every single one of them turned up

or
Arrow The "fans" were screaming as they were trying to get out but prevented by the barriers

Not strictly necessary, that comment, was it?


I wouldn't take what Brekkie Boy says seriously, for instance his statement that Casualty would never beat Heartbeat in the ratings last Sunday in another thread was proved to be wrong, and he's wrong about a lot more else, he just thinks he's right.

If he doesn't like the programme, why can't he stay out of this thread instead of posting stupid, unintelligent remarks like that.

Yes - even though it prepares its students more thoroughly for stardom....

Not well enough though clearly. Word is that Sneddon is to be dropped by Mercury for disappointing record sales, but not until after the completion of the second series of FA, so as not to reflect badly on the show.

Indeed - plus it has more with "star quality." Who do you think has the most star quality Kat?

Definitely Alex - she's got that refreshing 'different' vibe about her... if only she'd relax more on stage....

You mean after the third single got to number 15 after the hypocritical TV shows tried to be clever and did the "oh we don't want any reality TV people on our show thing* and then went and obsessed over FA2?

The critics aren't responsible for David Sneddon's poor single sales - the people are. Seems David Sneddon doesn't have a shelf life anything like other artists produced by reality TV shows. Does this not say something?

Exactly - it's also a trifle odd that the second-placed competitor on the first series is now more popular and successful than the winner, who seems to have disappeared......

Yes - it says "where is Will Young at the minute?"

If you had cared to do your research then you would be well aware that Will has been in America for a while and has also been working on a new album.

Yes - the public don't appreciate more intelligent SELF-PENNED music composition....
