The Sun journalist. So that says it all.

He's a top grade bellend. If he dislikes Louis, then he's probably a top guy.

Urgh I hate him but these tweets are true http://a.mod-site.net/s/appl.gif

Gary is complaining about Nick's song

On Xtra Factor tonight Gary told Louis that Candy was a horrible song choice for Nicholas. Didn't he write that song? :joker:

he probably just meant that it was a poor choice for Nicholas and that he couldn't do it justice :joker:

We all love it when "the gays" become mega queeny and get into a bitch fight. My money is on Dan. You go girl.

I quite liked it actually, but needed more oomph. Nick is not good uptempo. :hugesmile:

But im sure there is more up tempo stuff in charts now than 5, 10 years ago. Which is why everyone goes crazy for rare ballads from adele and emili sande.

Depends who sings the ballads. Nick sends me right to sleep.:laugh:

Ballads generally work imo now if the singer isn't a typical ballad singer eg Eminem has done of the best (rap) ballads. Wrecking Ball would have been a mega flop if someone obvious like Celine Deon or Sam B sang it, but Miley with her twerking scandal, nudity and carefully contived pseudo controversity stopped it from being s slushy dirge.

In the 1980s the best song writers would lend their songs to big name established divas like cher, celine and tina turner. Now they give their best to younger chateuse like ella eyre, rihanna, miley, iggy azealia etc. Sharon and Gary are deluded if they think sia will want to give her songs to a Sam or Nicholas.

the problem is Nick has no charisma which you really need for a song like that, he's no Robbie Williams. Robbie doesn't have a great voice but he's got so much personality he can pull it off

True. I was hoping Nick would pull it off, but he fell short.

that's the big problem with nick AND Sam , they are competant singers - in a West End way - but yes you need charisma for Candy, a good voice is not enough. Ithink Gary could have been bitchier but spared Nicholas' feelings imo

Apparently Sam Bailey only sold 45K of Skyscraper this week. Geez. Sales are low this year! :eek:

he need to be happy he placed at all

ouch
that bad

That is so true, Marcus! :joker::joker::joker:

a day and a half =/= a week

Nooo. Sam would have sold more she got 1m votes :conf:

I know. I think it reflect the low viewing figures we've had this year. The show is in rapid decline.

Most people who vote don't buy the records. Look at Leon Jackson.

From Buzzjacks : Tuesday mid sales of X-Factor winners singles:

<36,600* Leon Jackson 'When You Believe' :joker:
