Jonathan.. bet he drops the rest of them like hot potatoes
BurlyBeaR

Whats the betting that Jonathan "Voice of an angel... face of a cindy doll" G4 drops the other three boys within a year... regardless of tomorrows result?

Lets face it, the other three aint that pretty (although i do have a strange attraction to the italian looking one with the dodgy teeth and bushy eyebrows... although i thought he was cuter when fat) and from what I've heard in the occasional bits when you here their voices solo they aint that good at singing either.

Jonathan, on the other hand, undeniably has a voice and a pretty face.... he'll be in the west end playing one of the leads in Les Mis before you can say Cameron Mackintosh.... or rather, after they've had their obligatory one hit single and then disappared into oblivion a la Mick McManus.

We'll then see G3 at it for a while, before they realise its not working and recruit a Jonathan soundee-likee to take his place and start doing summer season at Bridlington.

I'll put a tenner on it.

I'm not a G4 fan, but I still think this is a little unfair on Jon.

I think BurlyBear has got it pretty much spot on myself.

I can't disagree either.

My feeling is that as a solo artist Jon wouldn't be able to be as vocally adventurous as he can in a group. I also don't necessarily see the other three staying with this as a long term simply because their original ambitions did not lie in this direction.

I'm sorry but I my crystal ball's in for MOT so I can't see the future just at the moment but so long as they enjoy working together and are happy with the music they are enabled to produce I hope they continue and all then find success when life takes them on different paths.

I'm just looking forward to seeing what they can achieve as G4 simply because they are a much-needed shot in the arm for a rather stagnant music industry.

shot in the arm of what? horse tranquiliser?

these four frankly make me wanna gag. the clever remarks to the judges, the desperate hand signing of 'phone-G-4' every time theyre in camera shot, the faux self deprecation, the tears, the desperation, the general 'luvviness' of the lot of them. total spuke.

and its not the music industry thats stagnant, its TV's representation of it thats at fault... responsibility for which lies, in part, with the X-Factor and its predecessors.

I think the music industry is stagnant. Full stop.

Very perceptive, BurlyBeaR. The whole set-up is false and motivated by the vested interests of Cowell & co. I tend to think that the thing is rigged anyway. Whose to say how many votes each act gets? We never get any proper voting figures etc. Does anybody really know? G4 are not a NEW phenomena either! Remember 'The King's Singers' in the 60s. Operatic, music-school trained voices, singing a variety of stuff. I think there were 5 of them....

Will G4 win tomorrow? Are we bothered?

precisely. the whole deal for me is the fleeting moment of tension when you're about find out the result. they certainly know how to get you back after the commercial break, but we would expect nothing less of course.

but its like a thrill ride at a theme park... within seconds of it being over you've forgotten it and youre looking for something better.

anyway, enough of this... do you thing fatty eyebrows is gay?

In answer to your question, yes I'm bothered if they win, I have enjoyed the show for what it is and am looking forward to tomorrow night.

Doesn't bother me that your not though, I didn't really need to know. :yawn: :yawn:
Lovin G4's Jon!

Not that many reality show winners go that far, but you may as well enjoy them while they last

Jon's the worst one in the group. I think the group should drop Jon. When they sing, all you can hear is Jon's ear-piercing high voice and it spoils it.

There's no evidence of that.

he reminds me of gerri halliwell, she was always the one to make her gob go. she was the one who took a lot of the lead vocals, and said how close they all were....but she soon turned her back on them when the offers came in for a solo album deal

i disagree, they've definitely got the x-factor as a foursome

Last week on GMTV they had a couple of *music people* who said Jon has a great career in front of him and went on for quite a while about this

someone said But ! there are four of them to you think G4 have a career in front of them
And they both just mumbled no

So looking at it from their point of view ,Knowing that they most likely will ask Jon to leave the group and go solo Yes IMO he would drop them
after all did he not audition for IlDivo (sp) what was the rest of the group doing then ?

What?
He likes them and their voices compliment each other, of course he wont drop them!

Unfortunately this is the music business and if Jon is offered a contract on his own he would most probably accept it. Friends or not.
It seems that usually the front man/spokesperson is the one that ends up doing better than the rest. Obviously there are exceptions to this...Robbie Williams for one.
