  • I was gutted when Jamie was booted from the show, but it's great that he has given MSE a 'celebrity' endorsement!

    I think he is great. So different from everyone else and I am sure we will be hearing a lot more from him after the X Factor has finished.

    I was at the vote off show on sunday with my dd , jade who had brain surgery for her arachnoid cyst in gosh on friday 13th, the 13th op for her condition in the last 14 months.we were there as the charity single was to be released & 6 kids from gosh got the chance to go to the show, my dd one of them. we met jamie before when he came to visit the kids in great ormond street with Ollie & Joe, my dd appeared in the star newspaper with him a few weeks ago, he had so much time for the kids in the ward,and really put himself out to talk with the kids, a really lovely fellow, who truly didnt deserve to be voted off xfacter, Anyway we got to meet him again at the end of the show, & he remembered jade straight away,he said out of all the kids at gosh he remembered jade the most, which of course made her day! then gave us both a big hug....I know this has nothing to do with bank charges, but just wanted to say what a lovely fella jamie is, & we wish him all the best of luck in the future, thanks jamie if your reading this, yourve made my daughter very happy at a time when she has been so unwell from her illness & really appreciated your kindness xxx :T oh! another thing to add is if anyone out there has had some bank charges riemburst why not go out & support gosh charity & buy the single, I promise you, your pennies will be going to a very good cause "great ormond street hospital"
  • Lets hope he used a small part of that money to GET A HAIRCUT!!!:rotfl:
  • I find the idea that people should have to reclaim unfair bank charges to be an outrage.

    The banks should be forced to run a computer program on their records which identifies all the unfair charges and automatically refunds them with no intervention needed by the account holders.

    great another high profile moneysaver spreading the word :money:

    I enjoyed his performances the most this year but was not surprised he went out since rock is not main stream in the pop industry, he should have gone out after the freak show thou :mad:

    I would pay to watch him sing queen
