Is Pop Idol rigged? << And will anyone still care? Pop Idol is back for a second series, going head-to-head with Fame Academy on Saturday Nights. Kids are still queuing up to audition for these shows - despite the lack of success of recent contestants (talented Fame Academy runner-up Sinead's album was a new entry at no 48 last week). But the odds are stacked against most of them even more than they realise. Earlier this week we met a girl who had been confirmed by Pop Idol bosses as a final 10 contestant - she's already had to agree to terms. But the ten finalists are supposedly decided on a public phone vote, so how can this be? |

Popbitch is never the most reliable source of information, though cc100.
I don't know about this year's - but my own view is that last year's Pop Idol couldn't have been rigged . . . . . if it had been, then Gareth would have won. And he didn't - Will did! |

Quite right Kaz - everyone was convinced that Gareth would win but the great British public put a spanner in the works and chose the best.
Even the single was picked to suit Gareth rather than Will and I think Simon Cowell was really shocked. |
