    That was Sting I think - he was on the One Show last week and they asked him about it.

      Ah, yes that rings a bell.

        Strange thing about the One Show is that it always seems to be interesting when I do catch it.

          It's not bad, I seem to catch it fairly often - although that Christine one is too sweet to be wholesome.

            Wish I had seen it!

            It is a joke, most of the contestants are talentless and the public know it. They will probably vote Jedward for a laugh. Might even put a bet on it
            They just panned out, to see him turn round bend over and slap his arse a few times then run out the back of the stage.

            There was three of us watching and I was the only one to notice it. I rewound it to see it again a few times.

                  If only for the look on Simon Cowell's face
                  Cowell knows exactly what he is doing.

                  "Deadlocked" judges panel? Over to the viewers to phone in. More money made.

                  Publicly say he doesnt want them to win? Cue more people phoning in to keep them. More money made.

                  They guy up against them to be voted off is actually pretty good? Give him a crap song to make him look worse and ensure they stay. More money made

                  Watch them go out in the final, or just before, to ensure that he has a "credible" winning act to exploit afterwards.

                  Cowell may be an arse, but he is a clever and calculating arse.

                    I really despise all that the X-Factor stands for but I do sometimes flick onto it to shout at the TV. When my dad used to criticise the acts on Top of the Pops he was doing do because they were different or controversial rather than some homogenized slush performing a second hand kareoke impersonation of Mariah Carey or Whitney Houston smultz. Along with transatlantic accent and vocal aerobatics (a way of disguising lack of vocal range). If that is talent these days, then Rank Xerox are the most talented company in the world.

                    On top of that a truely cringe worthy performance in aid of St Ormond street. Really patronising and pretty sick if you ask me. Especially as they were singing a song by an alleged child abuser directly to one of the sick kids.
                    Chris Morris couldn't have made that one up.

                    The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

                    But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”
