Well, it's a couple of days early but I'm THAT excited. I missed it last week but I'm back on the bandwagon this week.

Oh and Gary makes my heart melt :)

Thoughts on Gary please. As filthy as you like.

Raah - Red or Black is from Simon Cowell? I've only watched a few minutes but it didn't impress me.

As for past winners, Will Young is by far the best thing to come out of a reality search for a star. Leona has a great voice but not the star quality IMO and will not last as long as Will. Alexandra Burke and Shayne Ward could have done so much better. The dregs are then Joe McEldery, Michelle McManus, Gareth Gates, Jedward, Steve Brookstein, Leon ? and the rest of them!
(All just my v humble opinion of course!)

I have RO B muted. Is that actually Helena Bonham doodah in a sailor suit?

SuePurblybilt · 03/09/2011 20:13

Shane Ward was rougher than a hedgehog sandwich. Who was Steve Brookstein?

sjuperwolef · 03/09/2011 20:13

ooooh anyone remember fame academy? patrick kielty presented and looked delish he argued with the head judge constantly and half the singers were at it in the house Grin i think its where lemar came from. david sneddon was a delight, he writes now from what i gather..

TaudrieTattoo · 03/09/2011 20:15

I was thinking about Fame Academy the other night.

It gave us Lemar.

I quite like Lemar.

sjuperwolef · 03/09/2011 20:16

ooh i watched one of the musical ones on and off, the one where jodie prenger won - she was fantastic right from the start i knew she would win even tho the judges seemed to hate her for not being 'pretty' enough

sjuperwolef · 03/09/2011 20:17

eek its starting

FellatioNelson · 03/09/2011 20:17

I am another one who never saw the merits of a young Gary Barlow but MY GOD that man has aged well. He makes me go all squirmy in my chair. He looks like he'd be really strict in bed. Grin

SuePurblybilt · 03/09/2011 20:17

Off we pop then. Bingo cards everyone?

LeBOF · 03/09/2011 20:17

Patrick Kielty must be the man most easy to punch on television- something about him is just profoundly irritating. The judges on Fame Academy were super crappola too- I just don't think the BBC does shit talent shows properly.

sjuperwolef · 03/09/2011 20:18

mmm, strict barry

SuePurblybilt · 03/09/2011 20:18

YY to Patrick Kielty being a slimy gobshite

SuePurblybilt · 03/09/2011 20:19

They're all crying , is there a bingo in that?

tak1ngchances · 03/09/2011 20:19
