But the talent was probably much better in the year JLS were competing. This year the talent is lame.

No. Sweet, innocent, middle class blue eyed baby faced cutie pie megastar Janet will win.

I wouldnt be to sure about that as that year we had Bad Lashes, Girlband, Scott Bruton, Diana Vickers, Austin Drage, Laura White, Daniel Evans and Eoghan Quigg.


The only good ones on that year were Alexandra, Ruth and JLS.

The Risk are in danger of being in the bottom 2 this week.

Boybands do not win. If G4, JLS and One Direction couldn't win. What makes The Risk different?

Quite right and here's how Crazy should have sounded http://www.youtube.com/user/janetdev...12/4R__uz1FLbE

She sings it better in her house than they do with the full X-Factor production.

Austin Drage and Laura were both pretty good!

(Eggnog, ugh)

She always has the same smirking, simpering expression on her face no matter what she's singing. I just cannot warm to her at all.

So you prefer The Risk's insipid version instead? Have you actually listened to it?

Yeah, I do

I think they could do it, and I personally hope they manage it

Good luck to you then. You probably have all your walls painted beige and that is fine as well.

The Risk are good - they've all got decent voices, they can harmonise well, they're good-looking boys and they seem to get on. Just a bit worried that one of them has glandular fever (don't remember his name) - having suffered from that myself (and still suffering nearly 5 years later) it'll really wipe him out and probably affect the performance of the group. I never usually like groups, especially manufactured ones, but I think these lads are good together.

All my walls are covered in pix of The Risk

Yes, that's a shame. They all need a level playing field to compete fairly. Let's hope no-one else in the house gets ill with anything.

Just like I said then

lol. Charlie isn't beige.

I like the risk,. And dare I say they have the scottish vote since they are the only act this year to have a scot in it, so while they will may not win I think they will get far.

Which one is Charlie?
