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?


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


*Recording a new album*


*which is where most of the FA people from last year are - they didn't have all the songs pre-written ready for them of course*

Where has Sneddon been for practically the last 6 months!?, he very rarely appears on any non-BBC shows which shows that the only people interested in FA is the BBC, whereas with Pop Idol, "everyone is talking about it"!

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.

what about gareth gates? a new single off an unreleased album got to number3 not 1 despite heavy promotion and the Jordan saga. from watching some of the top50 this week and last week of PI i cant see an idol among them.

Alex, on the other hand, has star quality. A unique voice, angst, self-penned songs, individuality.
Peter - he may not be to my taste but he gives a cracking performance to keep your attention and has the attitude to his genre just perfect. he wont win FA but he would do very well to go find himself a band to front.
Carolynne - amazing voice, looks great and also extends her talent beyond being pretty to writing songs.

I wont comment on Alistair cos i dont like him.

Chris from last weeks PI and Brian from this weeks PI are exactly the same. boring. bland. GG's.

you couldnt fit any of the 4 finalists in FA into the same box. (not literally). thats why i prefer it to PI.

No you weren't asking at all. You were asking a question whilst making the statement of "Fame Academy is fabulous and can do no wrong" that you and Kat seem hell bent on portraying to the forum.

Yes, during which time the pop world has moved on and he'll return and release a mediocre middle-charting album/few singles because whoever is Pop Idol this time will get all the column inches....

Really? I think he's a bit of a *DARK HORSE* myself

To be fair of Ison's favourite person though number 3 is still pretty good and he did have the propaganda machine behind him.

number 3 may be good but with the promotion etc and if you think along the lines of "PI this, PI that" it should have gone to number1. but it didn't.

If Hymagumba and I were THAT hell-bent, we'd have spammed all the threads Digifiend-style saying how great it is by now! Except we haven't. We've kept it all in the same thread thereby not annoying other forumers and adhered to the rules of this forum.

What's hell-bent about that?

Could Hymagumba please correct the topic title, "Dark Horses" should read "Dead Horses".

Thanks very much.

but Kat we all know it's impossible for anyone to like Fame Academy don't we.

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

Oh please, the way you try and justify your viewing of the programme in that FA is giving some sort of public service to the nation!. I thought it was just meant to be some simple Saturday night light entertainment

I'm sorry, but are people hell-bent on coming over to the FA thread because the PI one seems to be dead?
