    I don't get why they would want to be on any of these shows TBH. I mean how many of the winners and runners up are actually making a living out of singing now? Will Young and Leona..can't think of any others

    Jennifer Hudson is good, plenty of them from american idol are really talented... not so sure about jordin sparks and kris from last year but other than them some great stuff has come from that show. I don't always agree with the winner though. The final last year should have been Danny and Adam but it's all about who looks good at the end of the day, talent comes second.

    Is it not about who the public 'gel' with the most....for example Jennifer Hudson was not the slim chick everyone would have voted for but she has some voice....thats the problem with reality shows....

    I can see what you mean Toto, but she can sing. Surely having a backing band she would have something to pitch against?

    Sorry, but are you listening to the French waiter..... now that is something else!

    No, I have been trying to broach the subject all day with OH ....but he is in the last week of his contract and the application he has developed has 'fallen over' so he is quite stressed.....nothing new there then......:p

    So I thought I might get over to them tonight but have spent the day with him and we have just taken Chloe swimming and had dinner and a couple of drinks at the gym...it was quite nice....for once...

    I would have loved to have seen the bunster and Snags but just not the right time for me. His contract finishes the end of next week and he will be back home for a bit...it will be nice to have him home and not stressed to be honest...


    Ah Sammy you are a lovely Wife..I would have gone and left the grump anyway!
    I hope that his application works and he can leave this job with his head held high! Sure it will be lovely to have him home when he's not stressed and you can have some quality time together :)

    Isn't going out with a footballer an integral part of that?
