He should have just sang "The Rose" week after week, he'd have won it no bother.
He can always advertise heavy woolen grey coats for a living now.
Was it just me or did he have a tiny wee heid?
I think I'm still drunk.

I dunno. I keep my gaze above the midriff at all times.

Oh Lordy McLord, I need a brain bleach now Jackie!

Sorry about that Mrs Mac. I'll take the high road now

Oh, dear god.

No famous musician ever came from Liverpool?

The Beatles! John, Paul, George and Ringo!

Only one of the most well-known and respected groups/singer songwriters' ever.

Are you being deliberately obtuse?

The real travesty is that he made it to the final.

I am not an x factor fan, this show went crap years ago, HOWEVER last night i listened to, and watched all three singers. and IMO Chris was far better, one tried to sing like a girl, and the other sang in a language, that was not English. and looks a right scruff. so yes write to ofcom.

I plead selective amnesia with that one.

I also don't believe the OP is serious. This is all a wind-up. And not a very clever one, either.

It’s an outrage.

My neighbours and I are compiling a strongly worded letter which we will send to the Prime Minister, if Ofcom fails to act appropriately.

Thus far, I’ve sent 400 complaints into Ofcom.

Were they an eighties band or something?

And you're source that there is 'no way' he didn't get the most votes? How exactly are you arriving at the conclusion that he couldn't possibly lose?

You're not funny. At all.

I was not trying to be. I simply do not know the troubadours you speak of.

A matter such as this, where a bright light has been snuffed out by dark forces, is not the time to jest.

Please sir, rally with me to give added impetus to get Christopher back in the final!

No can do I'm afraid matey. Word on the "street" is the orange one has had a few too many blue wickeds and been barred from tonight's shindiggery.

What a shame. They should have let him stagger on p*ssed and start shouting the chorus to 'It Should Have Been Me' when Dermot does the long pause. It could have been TV gold

Brilliant idea...."Somebody call the PO-LEECE, James Arthur down there is a goddamn thief! IT SHOULDA BEEN MEEE!!" oh oh, me nan, me nherves....

Na I've not got the DT's like I always shake like a sh*tting dog
