mind you, given that voters on these shows appear to have no taste, no insight into music and no shame, g4 should win it...ha ha ha ha.
You've said exactly what I'm thinking criticonabike . I'm a huge Radiohead fan and Creep is so brilliant because of the dynamics of the song (soft & quiet, loud & angry, soft & quiet etc.) and also the emotion in Thom Yorke's voice.

G4 have already shown they're incapable of this when they did Everybody Hurts so I expect their version of Creep to be just as awful.

Trouble is, I hate Steve's MOR, bland, sub-standard "soul" offerings so I'll be watching just to have a good laugh and may be to see Simon Cowell's face if G4 win .

I started watching X Factor because I thought the openness of the auditions might produce some actual talent but its turned out to be just as bad as Pop Idol 2. I haven't been able to watch an episode without switching channels every 5 minutes (not helped by the awful judges).

Oh well, may be the next TV talent show will come up with something......:sleep:

It may well be....I'm personally more for deep, warm mediterranean shades - terracotta, blue and gold.

Odd that I don't like Steve then - I usually like "rust-coloured" things.

Well...would certainly stop a lot of arguments....

"Oh no wonder, pastel curtains...that explains it!!"

Promote universal peace and understanding armed only with a Dulux colour chart

We're hypothesing that you can predict who people will vote for simply by asking how they decorate....early research suggests there may be some credence to the theory.

Bold, personal taste, love it or hate it decor = G4

Safe, inoffensive, subtle decor = Steve

I've just read the news item "Sharon Slams Steve", that woman is a total fecking liability! So you don't think Steve handed being insulted by Louis very well? He should have "punched him or shut up"? Yeah right on, he should commit a criminal offence and not defend himself with quiet dignity as a grown up? Sharon maybe you should look at your OWN MORONIC FAMILY....after all people in glass houses and all that.

I am a Radiohead fan, as is Mr Zip. We had a good old cringe and a sharp intake of breath when we heard it.

I'm sorry, I don't care that it's different or if it's arranged in a perfect way, or that the harmonies are wonderful or that no-one sings out of tune.

It was horrible and souless to me. It's a song about a lonely introvert. It's just a whole entity with Thom Yorke singing that. There are some songs that are special like that. I think this should be left alone. G4 made a horrible job of this. Horrible.

PS I would like to be able to say this without being pecked to death by Team G4. Thanks.

dogvod asked if there were any Radiohead fans who liked G4's version of Creep. I explained I am a Radiohead fan who has heard their version and do not like it. I explained why. I hope that's OK ?

Hmm, I still think they should perform the original "Fecking special" version, just to see Thornton have an attack.
