How would Chris winning (perish the thought) reflect on the people of Liverpool in any way whatsoever? The fact that he was born in Liverpool was simply an accident of birth.

If I was a scouser i'd be offended by your condescending post, but being from manchester I find it mildly amusing.

bump.

as fresh as a few insects . grant you that

It has to be said that a lot of late teens/early 20's would be out on a Saturday night & its more likely that oldies would sit in and watch the X Factor. Hence the popularity of acts like Jahmene and Christopher

I think you've pretty much nailed why the X Factor - and shows like it - should stop being 'current'. They need to appeal to a wider audience.

He's going home to Liverpool this week right? Home visits I want to see the support in Liverpool first hand.

For everyone who says Liverpool hates him - go check his Facebook, and Twitter. Most of his fans are from there.

hes better.

Wash your mouth out, blasphemy!

If the beatles were bigger than jesus, and chris is bigger than the beatles then that means....

Our father who art in heaven, maloney be his name

Really? I find it very strange to think that scousers would think that! I know they can be very united, but seriously? Chris? His music is a very acquired taste, if you like dated 80's stuff, so not sure why he would be seen as a 'fresh' alternative, when he's already stale.

So when your friend said scousers, did she mean two old dears she chatted to at the bus stop, or is there some sort of massive thing going on in Liverpool and everyone has staged a 'we love Chris' thing?

Obviously I'm not a fan of Chris, but even in loyalty, can't see why anyone would pretty much make such huge declarations about someone who actually isn't that impressive and offers nothing new. Pretty sure there must be other Liverpool singers who are way better than him who they would feel this about?

But hey, if it is true - you know what they say, there's nowt as queer as folk!!!

Well if Liverpool does like him so much, I have no problem with them taking him back and putting him in a hall somewhere where they can go and listen to him when they have the urge. As long as I never have to hear or see him again, that will be just fine! Liverpool - he's all yours!

Thanks but we don't want him.

Oh, go on. Please?

I really don't think people are voting for him because of the Hillsborough incident :S. I saw a thread the other day suggesting such.

Laura Palmer, thanks for that! Yes we need a champion because of Hillsborough? Are you insane? I am proud of my city and was long before Baloney came along! Yes he can sing in tune, but he does nothing for me!

Not all of Liverpool like him, although I do know a few who are supporting him because he is from here!

James and Jahmene have a home town too .Why all this hype about Liverpool backing Chris.No one round here does and I don't know any scousers who do.

I heard on twitter that his mothers mother is Chinese and called Mee Naan.
And her motto was 'it takes two to tango, your face!

He's apparently a massive success and the locals are loving him and have massive hopes for him etc.

just LOLZ!!

How nice for Liverpool. And after all they've been through.

How can Liverpool (population 450,000) get him millions of votes ?

The people voting for him are those that like his character, me nan, etc and i'm betting there's a growing backlash vote because he gets abuse from the judges every week.

Bump.
