The X Factor

The X Factor

Hail hail the victor Alexandra Burke as x factor champion

Posted: 13 Dec 2008 05:25 PM CST

Coronations are fantastic affairs - three generations have not witnessed a real coronation as our marvellous Queen Elizabeth II has been reigning for 50 years. They are full of drama, elation and wonder.

The nearest the ordinary mortal can come to such a crowning, is through shows like Xfactor where an eventual winner is crowned king or Queen of our hearts and repetitive strain dialling fingers.

This year we salute the winner  and what an unbelievable journey it has been.

Alexandra almost had an anxiety attack - it was more emotional and disjointed than the Oscars when Hale Berry almost wet herself pouring her heart out.  She cried more when she saw her pictured on her new CD released on Monday. She showed guts, determination and performed like a real professional. Voice breaking mid song into tears, she made me cry again.

I love this girl. The defeated finalists including the two timing diana Vickers swamped the stage in group hugs and a love in, but Alexandra kept singing it out as if God himself had kissed her and given her voice. It was moving, marvellous, magical. She is an inspiration and a role model. She truly deserved the win.

simon cowell thanks x factor fan site for all the dramatic writing.

Posted: 13 Dec 2008 05:11 PM CST

Simon has acknowledged that this show is not everyone’s cup of tea, but has thanked all the people who have watched, enjoyed and WRITTEN ABOUT IT.

I wanted to thank everyone who visited the x factor fan site, commented on our posts and especially thank my team of writers for their great writing. The best present I could have received was finding the cherry on top of my Ben and Jerry’s ice cream surprise, and that person is my favourite blog writer Candy Warhol.

Thank you Candy and everyone who made this year a success at the x factor fan site.

x factor winner 2008 alexandra burke to duet with her mother mellisa burke to make it bigger than soul ii soul

Posted: 13 Dec 2008 04:56 PM CST

x factor winner 2008 alexandra burke, has finally eclipsed her mother. What a better present to her mother than a duet with her mother, the sweet the sexy the sultry voice of Mellisa Burke.

look for the song or songs in 2009 on itune or wherever music is bought or downloaded for free.

ALEXANDRA BURKE recovers from kinky sex tape scandal

Posted: 13 Dec 2008 04:38 PM CST

Well the game is up. Danii Minogue told Alex Burke "Get ready for the red carpets and limos" and I agree with her. Alexandra Burke's performance, whilst slow and a bit dirgie at the beginning, her performance burst into the most emotional and hair raising version of Silent Night you could imagine.

Beyonce, Leona Lewis and all the other black soul warblers must be quaking in their boots already. Even hard to please Mr. Grumpy Simon Cowell said she was outstanding.

The game must be up if the second song is as good as the first one. HOT NEWS - the live reporter from Alexandra's fan HQ revealed that she WILL be singing a duet later in the show with beyonce…. So get your earplugs ready because the roof will be shouted down. My prediction is Mariah Scary's "All I want for Christmas is you". That will shatter glass. Alexandra Burke is truly a super star.

Creepy ex boyfriend D'andre West's kinky sex tape has just increased in value.

Alexandra looked fabulous, sounded fabulous, acted fabulous. She is fabulously fabulous.

compared to eoghan guigg jls had to make it

Posted: 13 Dec 2008 04:32 PM CST

when you compare the awful talent this year on the x factor, and the awesome talent they let go so we could have more drama and theatrics, jls had to stay in it. they got the looks, the screaming fans of boys, girls, young and old. they have the gay vote, the straight vote and the old cockers vote. (alter cocker vote for those that know what I mean). they also look good with their clothes on and their clothes off as witnessed more than once by all the topless shirt press photos.

the producers of their music could do and will do wonders with these boys. just look at boyzone, westlife and take that for all the proof you need.

Alexandra burke’s rendition of Halleluiah was a heavenly chorus

Posted: 13 Dec 2008 04:25 PM CST

Its not often someone makes me cry, but Alexandra's performance just now singing the Leonard Cohen classic song Halleluiah was simply breath taking. It was sincere, faultless, emotional and it reduced me to tears. She was simply stunning. She looked good enough to eat and this is going to be the must have song for anyone who has lost a loved one or simply loves good music.

If ALEXANDRA BURKE doesn't win after the ad break, there is no justice in the world. It was as if she was kissed by God himself. A beautiful performance.

Go Alexandra!!

Beyonce says she wants to drink beer and chase after girls.

Posted: 13 Dec 2008 04:17 PM CST

What is the point of beyonce? She is appearing now on the x factor final live and Dermott ants in the pants O’leary built her up into s near Godlike figure, saying ‘She is singing live'. Well you could tell it was live. (As opposed to the mime britney spears did on the LIVE show with womanizer)

She wore a golden leopard print dress with skin tight black rubber leggings. The sound was truly abyssmal as she sand that dirgy 'If I was A Boy' song which has been infuriating me all this past week on the radio. Surrounded by pulsating, guitar wielding escapees from the Mad Max movie, she warbles, howled and oh-oh-oh-wa-woah-woed her way through her performance.

This has to be one of the most talked up, hyped and pointless celebrities in the world. She can't sing, she resembles one of those chocolate Lindt reindeer (and is about the same size) and her being on the x factor was nothing more than an attempt to boost Alexandra Burke.

I'm a bit disappointed

eoghan quigg is voted off the x factor final but not before we find out about his newest fan

Posted: 13 Dec 2008 04:15 PM CST

eoghan quigg was voted off the x factor final, although he still got a chance to meet his biggest fan barack obama.

obama loves eoghan quigg

if beyonce were a boy would she still wear makeup?

Posted: 13 Dec 2008 04:04 PM CST

If Beyonce Were A Boy, would she still wear makeup? would she be gay? would she sing? How big would her tool be? Would he/she design her own clothes? Would the sex appeal be there if beyonce were a boy?

singing live on the x factor final is Beyonce Singing ‘If I Were A Boy’.

Eoghan Quigg sheds gay tears and is off the show - Latest!

Posted: 13 Dec 2008 03:13 PM CST

We all know that gay men tend to have more emotionally charged outbursts than the non gays. There's a genetic hysteria gene in there that says turn up the waterworks. Eoghan Quigg, the chirpy potato faced Michelin man from Northern Ireland honoured those rivers of gay tears as he added his own ocean full on tonight's show as he was booted off.

Despite his earlier chirpy air punching and cries of come on, he was squashed flatter than a pancake as he received his news that he was booted off the show. The false sincerity and fake emotions from surviving contestants JLS and Alexandra Burke but most notably from the judges, led me to feel the only real winners were the show's producers. Doctor Dermott was there to pour on the false disappointments and lead the nauseating love ins.

Youngest contestant
The problem was, that despite the chirpy charm and the youngest finalist card being played at every opportunity, EUGHAN QUIGG is basically a singing potato with a dead cat on his head. Tonight, his clothes, jewellery and make up were all wrong on so many levels. The famous aerodynamic hairdo he has been wearing was in overdrive tonight ridiculously too big, ridiculously tousled into Christmas tree sized proportions.

Performance not good enough
He has been given the just reward due. The dream of show success is over. The verdict a damming one. His performance just wasn't good enough and while it's a shame to see a boy cry his eyes out on live television, how smug did JLSlook, knowing the golden haired one was thrown back to the ranks of the plebs, the wannabes, the vanquished.

No doubt a single and album will be forthcoming, but who remembers George Sampson (BGT winner) ? Flash in the pan like so many others trying to follow their Osmondesque dream of world domination.

He came, he saw, he Quigged.

ALEXANDRA BURKE and her defining momemt on the x factor final

Posted: 13 Dec 2008 02:53 PM CST

was Alexandra Burke singing ‘You Are So Beautiful’ the defining moment of the x factor or was it just better than eoghan quigg and jls? I would say, it is not her defining moment, because with producers working on her, she will be very different in the future from this. Yes it was the new winning x factor star, but I don’t believe it was her defining moment. Not until her mom comes up on stage to give her a big hug.

eoghan quigg tries to gain children voters with more high school musical songs

Posted: 13 Dec 2008 02:46 PM CST

‘We’re All In This Together’ from High School Musical is eoghan quiggs last ditch effort to win votes. it worked before to keep him on the show, but it won’t be enough this time. Will kids equate eoghan quigg with zac efron? NO. Will kids equate Vanessa Hudgens with eoghan quigg? NO. Then, will they at least equate the high school experience of a disney film with eoghan quigg? AMY WINEHOUSE SAYS IT BEST. no, no, no.

somehow we are not in all this together….

Beyonce disappoints on X factor final

Posted: 13 Dec 2008 02:38 PM CST

Beyonce disappoints on X factor final

Beyonce is one of those love her or hate her characters, rather like a female Adolf Hitler or Marmite. After her performance tonight on the X factor final, I think there will be more haters than admirers. Despite chirpy turnip faced ginger nut Dermott O'Leary and his unbelievable build ups, the so called mega star beyonce took to the stage in godlike stance, only to fall to earth with an almighty crash.

Lack lustre

The song was terrible, the vocal yelling and screeching almost unbearable at times and the fake sincerity with which the judges fawned over her was truly sickening. I wanted to grab the nearest bucket, not just to be sick in, but to somehow throw over beyonce's head it was so lack lustre.

Outfit cheap and rustling

Stick insect thin, compensated by what can only be described as super sized platform shoes and the skimpiest of dresses. I swear through that cheap rustling fabric you could tell she had no knickers on. And what is it with this woman - do we owe her anything just because she was the only one who escaped Destiny's Child and achieved something? Do we owe her allegiance for musical genius? Has she any talent at all?  The answer to these questions my friends is a resounding no. We owe her nothing - she has no real talent.

Beyonce's ego fest

Frankly I would rather have sat and watched the wallpaper for 4 minutes. This TV spectacular proved itself to be an ego fest with very little entertainment value. X factor fans would rather have had some more of the misfit freak rejects from auditions, than have to suffer  vocal onslaught beyonce threw at them.

I am telling you to listen to me that I am beyonce and you are not.

Posted: 13 Dec 2008 02:30 PM CST

when beyonce tells you to LISTEN, you better turn around when she is talking. This is a perfect grounding song for ALEXANDRA BURKE because she will never be as talented, sexy or in the same league as beyonce, even winning the x factor.

can someone tell me what happened to Brian McFadden on the x factor final?

Posted: 13 Dec 2008 02:23 PM CST

Brian McFadden was a no show for tonights x factor final. can someone write in and tell us what happened to Brian McFadden?

Quigg sounds better with someone famous backing him

Posted: 13 Dec 2008 02:02 PM CST

Clearly trying to build him up into a Northern Irish Donny Osmond, the promoters picked a song that almost any bad karaoke singer could get away with. At his pre arranged cue and intro, they brought on Bozone singing their own song with gusto. Potato face could only stand and poke his tongue out at them and although comfortable in the middle of them, it was impossible to hear his voice above the cacophony of trumpets.

This was good planning by the promoters to drown him out with one of the best known and liked boy bands in history.  Ronan Keating said "He's amazing and he's Irish" Well actually, he's from Northern Ireland and that's part of the UK - he's British so cut the Irish swamping issues Ronan.

They were only there because Take That refused to appear on the show because the rubbish Westlife were duetting with JLS.

cheryl cole was a school drop out or so it seems from her lack of english skills

Posted: 13 Dec 2008 02:00 PM CST

How can this not be made fun of more? How can everyone in the press not attack cheryl cole and her misuse of english, her disgusting tramp stamp and other ill placed tattoo’s, and her inability to speak proper english?

sample of cheryl cole on x factor final tonight:

Cheryl tramp stamp cole excelled with the fake sincerity and modesty telling the boys "yer a gate bunsh of leds and I'm proud of yer" - elocution lessons would definitely help her, especially on live television.

Everyone, that is besides the x factor fan site, HEAT magazine and mediaguardian for the following brilliant coverage:

Cheryl Cole has threatened legal action against Heat magazine over its cover story this week.

Cole’s legal representatives have written to Heat editor Julian Lindley today claiming allegations carried in the article, headlined “Cheryl’s Fury”, about a Vogue photoshoot, were untrue.

The X Factor judge’s complaint claims that Heat, published by Bauer Consumer Media, took no steps to verify the article with her representatives or Vogue prior to publication.

“If you had put the allegation to Vogue before publication, you would have been told that it was false,” the letter, seen by MediaGuardian.co.uk, stated.

“In the circumstances, it is inferred that your dominant motivation was to publish a sensational front page story in order to sell the magazine without any concern about whether it was true.”

MediaGuardian.co.uk understands that Cole has threatened to pursue a claim of libel against Bauer and seek damages for defamation if the company does not meet demands for a full apology and retraction to be printed in Heat and payment of legal costs.

Cole’s legal representative David Price, of London law firm David Price Solicitors & Advocates, confirmed the letter had been issued, but declined to comment further.

A spokesman for Cole declined to comment. A spokeswoman for Bauer also declined to comment.

Oh no she isn’t…. beyonce transformed into pantomime freak by factor stylists

Posted: 13 Dec 2008 01:52 PM CST

In what can only be described as oozing backstreet hooker trash chic, Beyonce exploded onto the X Factor finale stage shaking her booty for everything it was worth. Fans who may have wanted to see a more demure and elegant Beyonce were sorely disappointed. Nothing worked for her from the cheap tacky shoes through to the zillions of sparkly bits that lunged laser beam like steaks of light everywhere. "I am beyonce and I have come to destroy your planet".

The hair was wrong, the makeup made her look more like a Bollywood dancing extra and there seemed to be fierce competition in the skin toning down wars, as to who the producers wanted to look more white - her or ALEXANDRA BURKE, who over the past few weeks has become more pale skinned, in some sort of freakish ethnic cleansing exercise. Perhaps inspired by the Michael Jackson influence on the show, these girls are losing their ethnic heritage, faster than the Australians stamped out the Aborigines.

And what is going on with all that vocal shrieking and shouting? The cocktail glass I was sipping almost shattered as beyonce screeched higher and higher up the  vocal scale. I'm so pleased I had my earmuffs to keep me warm during our cold spell. They helped to drown out some of the noise during beyonce's performance. She sounded like a cat being stabbed. Coming to a pantomime near you soon…. She's behind you!

JLS it looks like their last Christmas

Posted: 13 Dec 2008 01:43 PM CST

The drama over Aston's underpants must have been solved because they took to the stage unfortunately dressed in white Moonie wedding suits. The choice was WHAM'S Last Christmas, another huge Christmas classic.

Luis Walsh showed a teddy bear that he has on the desk, his JLS mascot. "Which one is the JLS Mascot?" O Leary asked. The only catchy part of their appearance so far was a bespectacled nun who clapped and whooped saying she loved JLS. On your knees and repent at once sister, because this was their most lack lustre performance to date.

Cheryl tramp stamp cole excelled with the fake sincerity and modesty telling the boys "yer a gate bunsh of leds and I'm proud of yer" - elocution lessons would definitely help her, especially on live television.

JLS need to push harder and more in tune during the rest of the final otherwise their Christmas will be sunk faster than a Nigella Lawson soufflé.

Hail hail the victor Alexandra Burke as Xfactor’s champion

Posted: 13 Dec 2008 01:34 PM CST

Coronations are fantastic affairs - three generations have not witnessed a real coronation as our marvellous Queen Elizabeth II has been reigning for 50 years. They are full of drama, elation and wonder.

The nearest the ordinary mortal can come to such a crowning, is through shows like Xfactor where an eventual winner is crowned king or Queen of our hearts and repetitive strain dialling fingers.

This year we salute the winner  and what an unbelievable journey it has been.

Alexandra almost had an anxiety attack - it was more emotional and disjointed than the Oscars when Hale Berry almost wet herself pouring her heart out.  She cried more when she saw her pictured on her new CD released on Monday. She showed guts, determination and performed like a real professional. Voice breaking mid song into tears, she made me cry again.

I love this girl. The defeated finalists including the two timing diana Vickers swamped the stage in group hugs and a love in, but Alexandra kept singing it out as if God himself had kissed her and given her voice. It was moving, marvellous, magical. She is an inspiration and a role model. She truly deserved the win.

Cheryl cole thanks concealer make up manufacturers

Posted: 13 Dec 2008 01:21 PM CST

If endorsement for products on television is valued, then concealer make up sales are set to go through the roof.

Cosmetic endorsements:
Thank God for Rimmel's Hide the Blemish stick and industrial strength foundation and concealer cream. It managed to cover up those awful tamp stamp tattoos she is desperate to hide. It was such a marvellous job, I thought she almost looked human tonight. I say almost….

Fashion endorsements:
Cheryl Tramp Stamp Cole outdid herself tonight. Our favourite style icon week after week has not disappointed us with her choices from Primark and Matalan in her own blend of thrown together white trash categorisation. Yes this woman is the epitome of dressing cheap on the cheap. Bad hair, bad makeup and drapey scary fabrics giving her that just dragged through the hedge look.

I'm surprised she was able to sit comfortably in this weeks fashion offering. Badly designed, badly fitting and by no means, badly worn. A giant turkey tinfoil affair down to her ankles. Thank God it served one purpose.

Suggestions:
The best suggestion for cheryl cole is to convert to Islam immediately and she could wear one of those black coveralls and a Burkha mask. That way, we wouldn't have to look at anymore of her Twiglet shaped body, pin thin legs and refugee camp chic any longer. Its not working for you cheryl. Give up the fight now and embrace the Hijab with some degree of dignity.
