  1. ... and then Zebedee muttered something and all retired to their bedchambers...
  2. Right off to watch some really talented and credible celebrities as they clamour for publicity in an Australian jungle- or mayebe I wont :0)
  3. @RAH13 very true.
  4. @RAH13 I'd rather keep my soul. Though I can't sing for toffee so I'm "safe".
  5. @RAH13 Go for art over shallow, primary coloured rubbish. Give a few quid to a busker maybe? (unless he's drinking and smelling of wee :)
  6. @sezi13 @RAH13 Thanks for putting up with me :0)
  7. @RAH13 and that... is art.
  8. @RAH13 I guess i get annoyed cos its this rubbish that clogs the charts/airwaves etc purely because they are willing to be shafted by Simon.
  9. @Amicabiliter xfactor as a religion? woah. So that makes Simon umm a messiah? No one expected a second coming wearing such tighttrousers...
  10. @RAH13 BUt then some shhots have to come thru the shit-pop concrete. Kasabian, The Big Pink, La Roux etc all great, credible and WITHOUT SC
  11. @sezi13 Exactly. So who benefits? They dont really when their dreams shatter (Leon Jackson?) Simon does & thats whats it's about, not music.
  12. @RAH13 To a point but it depends on who's really in charge. Arctic Monkeys sell albums by the bucket, thats pure talent and credibility.
  13. @RAH13 Theres a difference between credibility and making £££. If Simon is willing to fund a video/track, everyone gets 'exposure'.
  14. @sezi13 I like his honesty, but the fickleness of the audience is tragic. Someone could sound awful and if Simon criticised they would boo!
  15. @sezi13 I guess its because its all a hyper-reality, pretending to be about music, but really it's about cash, not the art. That's just sad.
  16. @RAH13 ... do as you are told, when your'e told and hopefully we'll break even"
  17. @RAH13 It never looks like they have much say once they have been signed "Be on this kids tv show, be on this radio station at 6am...
  18. @sezi13 .. from the show itself and the sponsorship/advertising. As soon as christmas comes along he has already made the money he wanted.
  19. @sezi13 There are loads of artists/bands with real talent and real cred who are blown from the water with SC's lucre. The ££ for him comes..
  20. @RAH13 seriously... proper industry credibility, from x factor? There is no one. Leona has an great voice but her stuff is really dry.
