Well it's not like X-craptor's ever been about getting good singers is it, otherwise how can they use autotune and call it a 'singing' contest? Heard some reviewers on 5Live earlier (including Boyd Hilton, someone I never thought I'd see eye-to-eye with) who said it's NOT about being a good singer and never has been, it's about who Cowell thinks he can package to the masses.

Exactly. It's not 'The Best Singer' Factor, nor 'Nice' Factor.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

No, it's a money-making con that Cowell benefits massively from while he screws over almost everyone else involved. Maybe if it didn't cost the public to vote etc, the autotune and crap wouldn't be a problem...

Do what I do. Watch it, don't vote and don't take it too seriously. Ok he manipulates people but for all his sins Cowell does give a few people a year chance of a lifetime because they (normally) get a number one record despite being a bad singer. I can't blame him entirely for the crap thats in the charts at the moment

Is he related to Nick Grimshaw? They look pretty similar and are both really camp and come from the North West.

I doubt it. Maybe some distant cousin? Not sure. I wouldn't really say either of them are that camp?!

Joe McElderry was amazing last night. Usher? Who cares.

Guys, do any of you like Mary? Please God, I hope not..

OMASM. Radio presenters are like fruit. Matt is my kumquat and Scott is blatantly my orange.

He's just another bland average x factor artist to be honest. Yes he can sing and he's probably a nice guy but there was nothing to that song or the performance.

I think Mary isn't right for the X Factor. I hope she leaves.

I think Aiden can do covers, and many people said Diana had a unique voice, but she was on The X Factor, and did well.

I downloaded Barbara Streisand - Diva Fever today.

Aiden's only done 2. Everyone was crazy about the version Madworld he did, but personally I didn't think it worked, likewise his version of Jealous Guy last night. But he was to sing something new, something we haven't heard before, with that voice, I reckon he would be a big star!

Mary is the X Factors Susan Boyle. Great voice, lovely lady... but will never win the X Factor in a million years.

Apparently he did, although I have no recollection of this whatsoever. :confused:

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

I see you as an angel freshly fallen from the sky...

    • He's alive and doing Calgon promotion! Those five weeks off have to pay somehow 😂
    • Annie did the Friday night dance show as well so I think that made her more prominent. She's an excellent presenter at new music and I think Jack is the perfect successor for this show. Clara was always in the 'good' category for me. She's been around since I started listening to R1 so feels a bit weird she's leaving. Think it's only Greg, Matt, Danny Howard and Pete Tong left now!
    • See I don’t agree…I think the three way dynamic is not really working. Vick & Katie are really great together and I enjoy Vick & Jamie together. It’s something between Katie & Jamie that’s not gelling for me. However it’s early days and they are still much better than some other combos. Plus Matt & Jamie were radio comedy gold for me so I don’t think Jamie’s the problem. Just maybe didn’t need to be a three. 
    • HAppy birthday Scott mills I hope u like the photo sent to you and I hope u recived my massive birthday CARD as I sent it to BBC RADIO 2 broadcasting house on special recorded delivery for you as let me if u have got it as I wrote a very large letter to you inside the card and sent a photo inside the card as well your biggest fan Yolanda xxxx LOVE 💖 YOU MILLIONS SCOTT  MILLS 
    • It's rather sad that Pink News is even running this - they should know better.
    • I was invested in the show when it was Vick and Jordan / Katie - now I don't pay attention and might leave the station when Jordan starts on Capital.  What I do hear is a mix of formulaic and awful.   It's strange how one person leaving a station can affect your outlook on the whole station.
    • Happy birthday Scott! Hurry up and get back on the airwaves 😊
    • Think it just depends on his commitments but agree he's a good listen. 
    • I liked her last show, but I don’t feel it had the same impact as Annie’s show. Also, I feel her tenure was quite short to be honest, so don’t understand what the sentiments are all about. I mean Annie did this show for 6 years and Zane Lowe for 12, compared to Clara’s 3 years. Looking forward to Jack taking over from her - I think he has a lot of influence from Zane Lowe and we need that energy in 6pm slot.
    • I wonder if R1 will do a big event type thing on the week that Jordan starts on Capital? It will minimise the number of people turning over I’d guess 
    • Hard to believe that all the new shows from September 2021 are now pretty much over, aside from RMC on the live lounge show, and even then, they seemed to change things up after 18 months or so. It feels like yesterday since 6th September 2021 when all those new shows began!  
    • I've never listened to Rylan before this week but have found him to be excellent.  He should be Scott's main cover going forwards
    • Always thought Arielle would get this show. She's the most natural presenter to Annie Mac. Maybe it was something to do with her Dj career and residencies in Ibiza
    • Sad that she said she felt different to others at Radio 1 having come from 1Xtra. Lovely how supportive Greg was through her career. 
    • To be honest she never filled Annie’s shoes in my eyes. It’s been a disappointing tenure having not been able to grow her show. It’s a stark contrast from her mid morning show where I preferred her to RMC.
