"No CD factory this year? Where the **** is Andy Peters!?"

Apparently Andi Peters was due to do the CD factory last year, but ITV could only do 3 OB's on the show, and last year there were 3 in the final and the OB's were in the finalists home town. Were there only 2 in the final in 2006 then????

Chris Moyles did the 'cd factory' thing in the first few series!


Nothing to do with Andi Peters spoofing the CD pressing OB in the Peter Kay show then...


Doubt it considering Andi didn't do it last year either.

Interesting break down of the voting, and good on ITV for releasing it:

Just to put on the record, Cheryl's tears were totally put on and over the top.


You can't put that "on the record" unless you're Cheryl herself.

Take yourself too seriously much?


I said that because no one else mentioned it.


Then why not use the much clearer, "In my opinion..."?

Please - don't take lessons from Brekkie, who manages to state his endless stream of opinions as if they were a matter of fact, or "record".

Its deeply offputting.


I'll write whatever I want thank you very much.

Oooh i love how this time of the year brings out the cranky side in people.

I would like to add that if anyone buys or sends me Alexandras single for christmas, i shall take it as a declaration of war.
However that Kaiser chiefs ft girls aloud mash up was brilliant.

So Alexandra is an almost a dead cert for the Christmas number 1.. surprise surprise. /stirring Wink Rolling Eyes

Still plenty of life left in the Cowell marketing machine then. Interesting ITV News report by Phil Reay-Smith earlier too.

Unless he slipped on a banana skin and landed on a microphone, I suspect Mr Buckley's rendition was "manufactured" too.

Its just that you weren't required to vote at each stage of his career. Shocked
