And 6 out of 7 bronze medalists
Girl power!
2 female winners: One is a global "superstar" and the other has sold over 1 million albums so far.
I'd go out on a limb and and suggest that women make up most of the voting audience.
Yeah and just like X Factor, most of the male winners flopped and the most successful winners have been females.
Women usually have to be spectacular to win and do better because female singers are generally more versatile and seem to be dominating the charts; Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Kesha, Duffy, Amy Winehouse and so on.
Err, no it isn't.. It's statistically not very significant.
Try tossing a coin in batches of 7, it very often won't come up a heads / tails split of 4 - 3 or 3 - 4.
There's actually a 45% chance that there would be 5 or more heads or tails in a batch of 7.
i.e. without any bias there is a 45% chance that there would be either at least 5 males or 5 female winners in 7 contests.
Since when has the X-Factor been about chance?
It's about who the ladies fancy
so the lesbians were out in force in Series 3 and 5 then
Which is why winners with a modicum of talent and longevity are rarer than rocking horse shit!!
... particularly given that the majority of those from within that demographic with any taste in music either don't bother to watch or don't vote.
Given the winners you should be grateful...
Had she won it would have been 4-3, and no-one would be complaining.
Year 1 had Rowetta Satchell, year 2 had Brenda Edwards and Maria Lawson and year 4 had Niki Evans (though how anyone beat Rhydian that year is still beyond me).
god they were so dull though. Backing vocalists at best
Gammmmmmuuuuuu!!!
Rowetta was a backing singer, mostly for the Happy Mondays.
I don't think you can seriously call her or Brenda dull though. If anything, Rowetta's personality and persona was so big that they annoyed some people. Brenda also has a big personality and as a performer is about as far removed from dull as it's possible to be. The other two I will grant you. Maria has a very good voice and Niki had several stand-out moments in the show but they both displayed the personality and performance skills of ironing boards.
Why should they?
You could just as easily make a claim that men or boys won't vote for women. It seems to me, that despite not really knowing who votes, people are all too ready to blame women and girls in these shows for results they don't like or wonder about (which is much more telling, IMO). I suspect the reasons for people's votes are varied.
