    Oh My God, Fouad sounded like Vic Reeves pub singer!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    It is, but, who people gel with is engineered... literally. A sound guy can make anyone sound reasonable... ok, they can't polish a turd but they can mix to make someone sound better than someone else. You will notice that the judges sway public opinion too. Simon is out to make money, as much as possible. Last year in american idol is a perfect example. He knew that Adam Lambert would sell, a lot, Adam didn't need to win to make simon money. Kris on the other hand probably wouldn't sell without winning the show, so... Kris won.

    So true and how the program is edited is also a massive factor in who wins and how the public vote!
