Literally nobody, even those who supported her (Cowell, the WUM's, the deaf etc) won't give two hoots now the show's over. The moment's passed - she's done!
Absolutely... Unless she starts selling units. Then, they'll come for her like piranhas fighting over the flesh! I hope she does pull it off. I can see her touring primary schools doing 'awareness' talks about 'issues' like saying 'no' to drugs & sexual health. Go Honey G!

All you guys that watch X Craptor really should start watching Rupauls Drag Race - its so much more fun than slimey Cowell & the queens have far far tougher daily challenges than this parade of fools!

H O N E Y G ! Shes gonna "Knock it outta the park!"

It's not as simple as that. If we all live and let live the over aggressive and dominant ones will just sh1t all over everyone. I didn't have a favourite act in the lives and never challenged the outcome as contentious as the judge's vote was. I love life, don't believe in holding grudges but won't hesitate to speak up if someone needs to be challenged or held to account.

Time to go stamp collecting and train spotting. Have a great weekend
You have a great weekend to try and reign in all that negativity and sadness before your crippled with a dead end job watching soap operas and moaning about the storylines.

Honey G giving talks on sexual health is a bizarre turn I didn't expect this thread to take!

To be fair the lyrics to her single are no better or worse than tinie tempah
Utter nonsense. Fair enough you probably don't like Tinie Tempah or rap music in general, but that's a ridiculous comparison.

Marmalade sales! I can never look at honey again without that annoying line she parrots when she has forgotten the words going through my head, "I say honey, you say......."

He is the only rapper I would listen to. Surprisingly for me as I hate rap with a vengeance, it is the most pointless music form ever.

It's bizarre that Cowell perseveres with certain acts who clearly weren't popular with the public. Cher Lloyd was another one who they had to seriously pimp to keep her in the competition.
Well I'm glad he does, if he only persevered with the acts the X Factor public's fond of they would've never found some of the stars they did as it's usually a snoozefest. The public loved Matt Cardle but I haven't heard of him ever since... Simon has to pimp the commercial ones if he wants to make a business out of his show.

What do you class as a dead end job?

But how is a woman who can't rap, has no personality, no charisma, no likeability and did badly each eeek in the voting a good commercial prospect? I think he's lost the plot on this one

There is absolutely no market. Once the single/album has amongst the worst ever sales for any X-Factor act ever, the powers that be then will belatedly come to recognise the folly of taking this very, very poor "act" and thinking anyone in the public (even four year olds or those who have been lobotomised) might be able to ignore the total vacancy of any singing, rapping and dance ability.

I actually don't mind Rap as it does take skill to learn it, and the lyrics are really important to get right in that genre probably moreso than in any other genre as it lives off that probably more than it's Music imo.

The Music style that I truly don't get is Swing as it's just a bunch of guys in suits half singing through a song as they swing their hands about, I've never understood that genre and I have no respect for it.

The gullible ones not dissimilar to WWE fans

It's pretty obvious that they wanted to keep acts in who would appeal to widest possible demographic to prop up the ratings. Look at the final five:

5AM - young/urban
Saara - older audience who like theatre
Emily - Scottish
Matt - teenie girls & housewives
Honey G - Barney the purple dinosaur children's entertainer
Is that HG's demographic or her future job?

Tinie Tempah has some classic lyrics.

'Yeah, she looks delicious. She likes to talk a lot, thats why I call her Trisha'

'I got so many clothes I keep some in my Aunt's house'

'Been to Southampton but i've never been to Scunthorpe'

'Would you risk it for a chocolate biscuit'

'Shake shake shake shake shake shake trampoline'

Those arent even the worst, just the ones I can remember off the top of my head

I honestly think Honey G could make a lot of money out of being a novelty act if she didn't appear to take herself so darn seriously. She's really kinda humourless and her Twitter account is probably about as entertaining as the shipping forecast.

how is it a ridiculous comparison?

"tell JK I'm still rollin' tell Russell I'm a brand"

"I've been southampton but I've never been to scunthorpe"

"I can make a girl give away her last rolo"

same lyrical ballpark but he gets away with it because he looks the part and she doesn't

and I like rap

Sorry, but there is nothing novel about her at all. But I guess if people are daft enough to waste their money on buying her crap single it is up to them.
The sad thing is I don't know if she thinks she's a novelty act. The BBC Charlie Sloth interview proved that for me.

Yeah but he does pop-rap these days. He's naturally engaging though, dresses well, is entertaining. She is none of those things. You can't compare the two. I love hip hop myself also.

It's a big gap. There's hope she might fall in never to be seen or heard again.
