The X Factor - Series 6

So the colour-coded gender-alternating winners pattern goes on.

2005: White guy
2006: Black girl
2007: White guy
2008: Black girl
2009: White guy

And people say it's not fixed?

Well, that's a ridiculous analogy to make. You conveniently missed Steve 'white guy' Brookstein in 2004.

Who?

yet HE never got Christmas no1, that went to band aid 20 even band aid 2 was better

Either way, the race thing is not the issue. Cowell's bulging pocket is.

Only because they didn't release it in time - his first single was released after the cut-off for Christmas #1. I think Band Aid would have made it anyway

Joe winning it pretty obvious now for tonight's Fix Factor. Not to worry, this time next year it'll be Olly with a more successful album while Joe fizzles out and ends up in the west end... where to be fair he should've been anyway. Should've been on a Lloyd Webber format, not a Simon Cowell one...

No he bloody shouldn't. If he wants to be in the west end he can bloody spend three years or more training for it like the rest of us.

Am I the only person then who thinks an upset is on the cards? For me last nights show proved that though Joe definitely has the voice, it's Olly who has got what they're looking for - The X Factor!

Isn't half the x factor in the West end?

Er - no?

I'd love to know whose copy of The Stage you're reading.

what about "im looking for two random people form Andrew loydl show with graham bouncing around in hype show?

I don't think this will pass the 18.5 million ?
