snakehips 0 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I bought Geordie Joe's single in Sainsburys for mrs hips this afternoon (£1.99). That boy can sing. Lacks a bit of charisma for me, like. As for the 'battle' - who gives a fuck? I'm sure when I was 12 years old, the kids my age were just as mesmerised by perceived good music (and buying a hell of a lot more records that are purchased these days, into the bargain) as the kids these days. As for people of 25 - 60 buying it, who knows. Maybe so many folk have cd players in their kitchen/car etc and want 'shit' to play on them????

Guest alex Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I was going to say Wool. It was them. And aye, it was a good gig. Not the best I've seen at the Mayfair like. That honour would have to go to Faith No More. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I think the mistake you make is assuming that x factor is largely to do with music...its chiefly to do with making Cowell, Fuller and a revenue starved ITV a ton of money. I'm under no illusions that it's about the art. It's about giving the majority exactly what they want. Apart from that I can't really argue with the points you make, other than Alison Clarkson wrote and recorded all her own material, and indeed produced most of her first album in her bedroom....all this after touring the US with Public Enemy with her first group,late 80s hip hoppers the She Rockers.She was hugely successful and popular and wrote, as you seem to have appreciated,great pop tunes.She also sold millions of records. Can you spot the differences between Betty Boo and Leona Lewis? I'm in no way a musical snob but Simon Cowell is stopping a 21st century Betty Boo coming through in the same way by saturating the market with a 3 month prime time tv promo campaign before the x factor single is released. He's strangling individuality and creativity at birth for a lot of pop artists, the only outlet for their talents is being lined up in front of a bunch of know nothing twats and possibly being humilated by them in front of 15 mill people on tv.Nice. Someone corrected me on that before when i thought betty Boo had been a one hit wonder. I don't think the X-factor stops anyone else doing the same thing these days though. MIA and Speech Debelle spring to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
