This Rage Against the Machine campaign? It's pathetic
Posted on 3:42pm Thursday 17th December 2009
NOT a sentence I ever thought I’d write, this: but I want JoeMcElderry to be number one for Christmas.

I'm not saying I told you so...
Posted on 6:57pm Monday 14th December 2009
THAT’S that, then. And I won’t say “I told you so”. After last week’s blog, I could adopt a Simon Cowell-style air of smugness, but come on, did anyone not predict Geordie Joe to win?

The last post
Posted on 12:30pm Monday 14th December 2009
I’ve been so convinced for so long that Joe was going to win, that Sunday night’s X Factor final ended up being something of a long, drawn-out, formality. It was lent even more of a predictable air when Dermot handed the Geordie teenager a CD of next week’s number one single – yes, that’s right, The Climb by Joe McElderry. Yes, I know all three finalists recorded a version but it seemed a bit, well, surreal.

Why Joe is the X Factor Terminator
Posted on 1:04pm Monday 7th December 2009
SO, Danyl’s out, Olly cried like a big girl, and Lady Gaga took a giant bath with a dozen dancing sous chefs. It could only be the X Factor semi-final.

All hail the dullest X Factor final ever
Posted on 10:23am Monday 7th December 2009
Why dydn’t you lyke Danyl? I liked Danyl. And once upon a time, you lot did too, before the tabloid headlines about his sex life and his bullying, and Cheryl’s relentless refusal to say anything nice to him.

It’s been a long slog but we’re nearly there, the X Factor Final.

Predictive text...

I’m getting good at this. Predicting who’s going home on the Sunday night edition of X Factor I mean, not this blogging thing.

Is Simon on the button?
Posted on 10:09pm Tuesday 1st December 2009
I LIKE to imagine that, behind Simon Cowell’s desk, there are a row of buttons, like the controls of some arch-villain’s lair.

The show is over...

SO, Britain finally tired of the six-week phenomenon that was Jedward. Either that, or the “young kids” that Louis insisted loved them finally ran out of texting credit.

When you wish upon a star...
Posted on 11:28am Monday 23rd November 2009
YOU know what they say, be careful what you wish for. Well, some of us got an early Christmas present on Sunday night, the demise of Jedward and perhaps the return of X Factor to the singing competition we all thought it was.
