so, recorded both sat and sunday shows as i cant be bothered with the thousands of adverts and crap inbetween and me mam and dad happen to drop by.

We were sitting watching the recordings and as usual, my dad is quite hard to impress music wise with all the current crap that is roaming around, (i guess ill be the same when im older)! He never watches the show.

So, he watches and this is his take:

Chris - not great but can hold a note and sing in tune
Jahmene - thought he was pretty good
James - absolutley shocking! and wondered who was voting for the guy.

Before i could tell him that it is Chris who is getting victimised by the judges and James who is receiving all the plaudits, he says "you can obviously tell the judges are spoon feeding that James Arthur to the public, the way they are standing up after his performances and glowing praise"

"manufactured crap" were his words of wisdom...

thing is, i find it hard to disagree with him lol

I find it hard to agree with him. It might just be me, but for some reason I'm extremely lucky that I usually pick the winner (only twice I haven't). By pick I mean they're the one I like the best. Some would say that it's the shows manipulation doing it's job and that all the winners have been who the show wanted people to vote for. I disagree, because most of the time they've been my favourites right from the start.

I thought from day one that Jahmene was the one who would win, he seemed to be the producers favourite right the way through to me. I don't understand why people think it was James.
