Isn't Wagner going to be booted anyway, now that the Mirror's set him up for drugs?

Shame as I did bet on him.

Its an interesting point - I guess if its proven that he is then he could well be.

I wonder if they'll wait and see what happens tonight.

Would be a way of getting it down to a 3 person final without another double too

Lest hope so, he has had his 5 minutes of fame and more, time to send him back to the lions!

Have they learnt nothing? Your common or garden pop star is SUPPOSED to take drugs. It's so we common proles can live vicariously through their excess, hubris and stupidity. ...And hopefully they will make some interesting music in the process that sheds light on the human condition blah blah blah.

To quote Bill Hicks....

'You see, I think drugs have done some good things for us. I really do. And if you don't believe drugs have done good things for us, do me a favour. Go home tonight. Take all your albums, all your tapes and all your CDs and burn them. 'Cause you know what, the musicians that made all that great music that's enhanced your lives throughout the years were rrreal f-ing high on drugs. The Beatles were so f-ing high they let Ringo sing a few tunes.'


Then again I wouldn't want to have what Wagner was (allegedly) using. That hair? Erm. No. Best stick to the Horlicks, mate.

Seriously I think you would have to be deluded to think that great art will come from talent show contestants getting well and truly off their gourd. Perhaps the MInistry of Pop should introduce a Drugs Proficiency Test. If you can generate a Sonic Cathedral of Ecstatic Noise That, Yay, Speaks Verily of The Gods after a quick puff on the wacky backy then go ahead, make friends in the Space Cadets Union. If you make inane self-indulgent dribblings that go on and on and on, you should be on caffeine free diet cola stat.

Not unless the police arrest him for it.

They would have to be very careful before they take the step of eliminating him or engineering an elimination.

Firstly that the allegations can be proven and that they won't result in Wagner having a legal case against them and secondly that "disclosing" these things about one contestant doesn't lead to disclosures about another who they would probably not be as keen for the truth to be disclosed about.

It would be rather rich to kick out a contestant wanting to make it in the music industry for taking drugs.

Why dont they kick cher out then. Her whole family are bag rats and if you think shes never had it before your clearly off your head.

Yeah I bet Cowell has never been at music industry parties where half the guests are nipping in and out of the toilets.

No-one seems to slate The Beatles for writing the Sgt Pepper album under the influence - or many many acts since. Plus we're talking cannabis here, not cocaine/similar.

Well they would be complete hypocrites if they did boot him...


They should have booted Cher for underage drinking if he goes....and they had Robbie Williams on last week who only a few months earlier said "cannabis is a lovely drug".
