I mean why is she a judge on X factor? Has she even had a top ten hit? And what on earth good will she be to her contestants if she doesn't know how to make hits?

I missed last year - she won do you mean she was a contestant? I'd rather the bin man who came second a few years ago was the judge TBH!

Interested in this thread?

Leon Jackson. God knows how he won. She must have done something right to make him win.

LOL @ WMMC!

No she wasnt a contestant. Her act won.

Piffle · 04/10/2008 22:06

she is quite pop credible
I prefer her to kylie musically
But
She is the only one to buy that shade of lipstick in 45 years
It's grim chick. Grim
Too much makeup

She looks like ehr sister

and

even went as far tonight as wearing a head scarf that made her look like she had had Chemo

hughjarssss · 04/10/2008 22:07

I think he's got an album coming out soon (god I am so sad)

But I think the answer to all three (rich, famous and succesful) is NO!!

TBH though that is nothing to do with Danni. She done her part by helping him win

Piffle · 04/10/2008 22:08

beety I thought that too
And was stricken with shame
Am relieved I was not alone

No.

He was supposed to perform at Hogmanay, I think in Edinburgh.

But he bottled it and claimed he had tonsilitis.

Then Amy MacDonald, who did perform live on Hogmanay in Glasgow, revealed that she, too, had been to see her doctor that morning for tonsilitis and showed off her prescription box of antibiotics as a jibe.

Well, her record sales went through the roof and he's hardly been heard from since.

Well I may well be wrong and he will be very successful but I remain a bit about her.
LOL @ the headscarf

I dont think it was to make it look like she had chemo seeing as most of her hair was clearly visable.
If she had been covering her hair I could have seen your point.

DISCLAIMER: I AM NO DANNI MINOGUE FAN!

Beetroot · 04/10/2008 22:10

who is Leon Jackson

notnowbernard · 04/10/2008 22:10

I have heard of neither Leon or Amy

Was she on X-Factor too?

Moomin · 04/10/2008 22:10

she looks like a balloon with a face drawn on it, her face has been pulled so tight

Beetroot · 04/10/2008 22:11

You LOVE Danni

HAve been discussing her surgery on another thread

Ranting described her as a JOan Collins lookalike

Piffle · 04/10/2008 22:13

well the only other reason is that she is using Joan collins -circa dynasty period or elizabeth taylor in her bad her day decade or 4.
Tis a worry
The earlier option seems preferable in hindsight

expatinscotland · 04/10/2008 22:13

Amy would probably rather be stood before a firing squad before she appeared on anythign like The X-Factor.

Oh, no, Amy's a Glaswegian girl who can actually play:
run

expatinscotland · 04/10/2008 22:14

Moomin, PMSL!

Too right!!!

She and Kylie are definitely no lookers.
