I wonder if this could cost her the win. I hope not! :shocked:

[Marc]

It's most likely true though

[Kazanne]

The Daily Fail !!! nuff said.

[Benjamin]

Sharon is 61 :shocked:

[MeMyselfAndI]

Lol, the press trying to stop her from winning.

[Vanessa]

She needs to be careful. You don't bite the hand that feeds you.

[Vanessa]

Sharon is 61 :shocked:

She's had some help. :joker:

[King Gizzard]

Won't be complaining when her gran helps her win it will she?

That whole thing last night was pathetic

[Vanessa]

Won't be complaining when her gran helps her win it will she?

That whole thing last night was pathetic

Probably not! :laugh:

[Me. I Am Salman]

it's so true though

[Brother Leon]

Sob stories haven't been that big this year tbh. In fact Sam Has probably been the worst with her kids etc.

[Headie]

No Sam... you're supposed to diss the show AFTER you've already won it.

[Marc]

She didn't know her nan was there

[Vanessa]

Agreed. It was too much. :bored:

[Vanessa]

No Sam... you're supposed to diss the show AFTER you've already won it.

Exactly. She may be handing the win over to Nick now. :shocked:

[Jordan.]

So she got rejected one year and thinks if she mentioned a sob story she would have won, big headed much?

I think she needs to realise it takes more than just having a good voice to be a popstar and the XF producers know that.

[Headie]

The prison officer auditioned for Simon Cowell’s talent contest in Birmingham in 2007, but was rejected after just 30 seconds.

'I bet if I had mentioned back then that my dad was poorly I probably would have got through – I would have been in the final. I probably would have won it.

Imagine if she had won instead of Leon Jackson :love:

[Vanessa]

So she got rejected one year and thinks if she mentioned a sob story she would have one, big headed much?

Agreed.

Actually it shouldn't take much more than a voice to be a popstar. Noone could accuse Sam of having no personality and not getting on with people. She has all she needs - the voice and personality.

The shallow stuff such as age, looks and youthful sexuality should be irrelevant. Unfortunately in the shallow world or bubble-gum pop where teens are the biggest consumer group - it isn't. Which is why hardly anyone past of age of 25-30 takes pop too seriously. Pop is for those going with the crowd, thankfully most usually develop their own tastes when they grow up a bit. There is a hugh market out there for those who want to raise their goals and have a long-term future in other areas of the music industry - Sam has a very good shot and x-factor has given her the platform she needed. I have a feeling she may well outlast x-factor, which, lets face it, has seen its day with all the manipulation of the contestants and voters.

Even worse is how it is blatantly used to act as a vehicle for fading pop stars such as Nicole, trying to establish herself again as a solo artist. She needs the show every bit as much as the contestants do. I almost feel sorry for her, especially after last night's performance - it was so desperate.

I like Sam, but she just doesn't grab me the way Luke does. I guess it's down to personal preference. We all like different things. :hugesmile:

Yes we Forget she is a Rigid Prison Officer
or was.

I have to be honest. I'm disappointed by these comments. :(

[Kazanne]

Lol, the press trying to stop her from winning.

Exactly:hugesmile:

Why I would have said the same if it was a male in the same place

[Vanessa]

She should be grateful for the opportunity. Not everyone gets to sing on national tv every week.

yes its a mega 10,000 crowd there

[Vicky.]

Should have waited a day really. But meh, she speaks the truth. And she will still win anyway, she has so much support at this point that she could refuse to sing, and fart a song on stage instead and she would win by a landslide :laugh:

I wonder if the Scottish vote could seal Nick's victory. It worked for Leon Jackson. :suspect:

[Pete.]

Sam Bailey as the UK vote though (excluding Scotland Ofc)

[Vanessa]

Yeah, i still think she will win. England vote is bigger than Scottish.

[Vicky.]

It doesnt matter IMO. People dont vote based on where the person is from, thats ridiculous D:

Leon, I think anyway, won because Rhydian was such an obvious winner. So people voted for the other one.

Something I think might possibly happen tonight...

I'd be surprised if Sam doesn't win to be honest. But shocks have happened before. :hugesmile:

[Gstar]

Anything to make her not win *rolls eyes*

[Samm]

wtf I though Sharon was 50!
