How shameful was XFactor
My point is that fairness went out of the window in the most shitty and disgraceful action on the part of everyone involved. Laura should not have been sent home. In my way of doing things, Diana should have been eliminated and then yes the contest would carry on as normal, in the voting aspect. For Diana to stay in the contest, then Laura should have stayed; no voting that week, would have been the right decision. Laura was cheated, but she has nothing to be ashamed of, she has a great voice, she is a great singer and I hope we hear more from her.
Xfactor took advantage of their own stupid and pathetic rules (whatever they may be) and so it may be that they have destroyed the prospects of a great artist. SHAME ON YOU XFACTOR.
Now, yes we know who is going to win. There are still 6 contestants as I write this, but she is young and so many producing years, she has sex appeal, I think she makes Louis ( and Mr. Vanity ) go home and exercise his right hand, she has a fantastic voice, she is an artist and she will make millions to the parasites that will use her. Alexandra will win Xfactor 2008. Does she deserve? Yes, but so do Laura, Ruth and Rachel.
If I had the power, that is, if I was in the industry, I would take all 4 on, after this shitty Xfactor. Each of these ladies has so much to offer.
So we ( I ) know that Alexandra is going to win; in the final, all the blokes are going to vote for her.
Ruth. When she sings, she gives the shivers. The best all round artist. Singing this fantastical, in a language that is not her native, makes me dream of listening to her singing in Spanish. Ruth should in fact be the winner. Although Simon fancies her, Ruth is so much more than legs and a pretty face, she was born to sing.
Laura got cheated out of the contest.
Rachel. Here we have a problem, I mean, she has an unique voice, she is just fantastic. This girl can be queen of Sole any day she wants. Sadly I know she will never win Xfactor. You see, Rachel has nothing posh about her, she is a woman that had enough testicles to be honest about her past, she came out of a life that was not right, she rose of the shit and she can sing like hell and heaven together. She speaks basic, localized, slangy English and that makes people in business, run away from her. You see, they mix and talk to her now, because of the contest, tomorrow when it is all finished, they will feel to be better than her and will turn their heads away. I hope someone takes Rachel on and shows her the way to be one of the greatest singers of this century.
Diana. Well, she is a kid right? Even if she was not a kid, I don't think she would do the honourable thing. She should and could have influenced the mess Xfactor made, in a more positive manner. Diana could and should have given up, gone home, if they didn't bring Laura back. Diana will never win, but if she does, she will carry for her lifetime, how she won; by cheating and being greatly helped at it.
For those of you that think I am nasty or wrong, look at Leona Lewis and what Simon has done to a marvelous voice; he converted her into a money making machine and she will never be the true artist that she is and can be. See how he uses her body, Leona's music and presence, are all about sex.
The unfairness of contests like this, is that yes, great talents turn up, artist are born in a few months and killed in a few minutes. Why, because people are stupid, because people only buy what huge marketing machines push right into their eyes; people are ignorant. Guys like to look at a nice pair of legs and dream. Girls, aspire and dream of being like those whose legs the guys drool for. It is a sad state of things and in a way, that is also to blame for the present global economical situation, but that is another matter.

Thank you Laura and please don't stop.
Poor Simon Cowell. Put a pair of legs in front of him and he will say anything. “...Mariah Carey is the biggest star in the world...”, so he says. She might be fairly good at writing little pop songs and with a huge marketing machine behind her, she sells. Voice? No way, tonight on the Xfactor, she was struggling to sing her own song. Actually, that wasn't singing, it was more like reciting; if anyone calls that a voice, then 2 or 3 of the contestants truly deserve the title of stars and have far better voices than Mariah. Mariah was stammering during her so called performance and I have a better voice than that and I don't claim to be a singer.
Simon, you are an idiot mate. Please don't claim a title for someone, when you know fuck all about so many artists throughout the world, who can sing, who have spent years actually learning music and how to sing. Many, who are not objects that people like you transform into money machines and most, don't even bloody know what a musical note looks like. Any pop singer, is nothing else then a show person. Sometimes, great voices come along, but get lost in the pop/money world.
I actually missed most of the first part of today's Xfactor, but was in time to see Alexandra and no doubt, she has a great voice, but today she was shit. I don't know if it was the wrong song for her or what. She was totally out of note, made a mess of the song, as simple as that.
Ruth and Laura, have to battle it out and one of the two best voices, is going home!!! What the fuck is wrong with the British public? Or could it be another of those phone messes that our channels practiced in the past and now they invented a new version of fuck ups?! Pathetic, one of these two girls should in fact win, as should Alexandra. In fairness, the others should go home. Laura and Ruth are versatile, they can fucking sing, they have the voices. It seems to me that people are kicking them out because what? They don't have the (body) package that appeal to the buying public? Because they are not thin? What two fantastic voices, voices that need coaching and that do have a place in the world stage.
Okay, Laura was sent home. I understand that it is a contest and not everyone can win, but this is so damn fucking unfair and I am truly pissed off with the voters; you people are simply ignorant and it is beyond my understanding why you did not keep these two girls in right from the beginning. Ohh ballocks, go and learn something about singing, voices, people's abilities...
...you seem to be on your way to being as dumb as Mr. Bush.

The pathetic ways in air travel and other lose bits
I thought that Human Beings were supposed to be intelligent, respectful, considerate, sensitive, inteligent, oh yes and intelligent; oh bull, I should know by now that many are simply pathetic, starting on those that make rules.
Watching daytime TV, sometimes shows you what is really going on and you just feel like go live on the Moon.
Watching a program called “Airline” showing on ITV2, that portraits the stupidity of Easyjet, really can make anyone with the most basic of intelligence, sick. Someone that is afraid of who knows what, decided that people in the UK, flying domestic routes, say from London to Bristol, have to have photo identification. In this program in particular, two cases are shown. One of a lady 28 weeks pregnant, flying to a Medical appointment. The lady failed to see the new rules, published after she bought her ticket and so presented herself at the airport without any photo ID. Easyjet was ready and pleased to stop her from flying, getting the lady to a very upset state and the stuff shown no consideration at all for her condition. Apart from that, they have some “TV show star wannabe” that is already some sort of manager, when the guy is freshly out of nappies, no life experience apart from numerous drinking parties, but that insists that rules are rules no matter what. So, after a long period of seeing this lady truly upset, in tears and distress, they had her phone someone at home in Glasgow, to ask them to take her passport to Easyjet at Glasgow airport and maybe once they verified it, they would allow her to travel.
The other case, was that of a lady in her 70s with an expired passport, that they did not accept, because it was expired for longer than 2 years. Confronted with the stupid problem, the lady consulted another company, who did accept to allow her to travel, no problem.
People, governments are only afraid, when they have reasons to be. Let me explain. Although I do understand that a politician cannot please every single citizen, if they are truthful, honest, open and less damn crafty in their ways, then no one would want to kill them, right? My point being, why would a 28 weeks pregnant lady be a threat on an airplane? Was she carry explosives and not a baby? I think not. Was a lady in her 70s, a terrorist? I think not.
This has become a plastic society, bureaucratic as hell, where the rule makers are mistrusting of the citizens in general, the government is incapable of dealing with those that are a real threat because maybe, of too much political correctness, but they do allow companies to bully and mistreat passenger and clients, based on rules that years ago were not needed, did not make any sense and do not make any sense now.
It is sad to see almost on a daily basis, how a government, any government, is incapable of dealing with the true problems within the society, brings out pathetic rules, does not deal with the root causes of a degenerating society (and I am on about our youth in particular), yet they want ID cards for those that are from outside the EU. You know, it may be that if instead of seeing people that come over, as a problem and try to learn from them, why their children do so much better at school, why their children do not call their mothers, bitches. How their children learn to respect not only family, but everyone else in the society.
Ok, so I diverged into other matters,. I guess because one sees the problems growing, the solutions missing and the political solutions are those of cuffing the population, when this country was the shinning example of civil liberties, but sadly no longer. Oh and by the way, here is a new one. If you make your pet dog fat, you may end up in jail for it, but if you rob a person, you get a slap and are sent to do community work. You are fined, road fined, left right and centre and if you don't pay up, pretty soon what would have cost you £60, may very well turn into hundreds if not thousands of pounds and the damn bailiffs will not leave you alone. Go rob a senior citizen and frighten the life out of them and you get sent to some social project that is supposed to teach you how to behave in society. Fuck it all, the world is upside down and politicians are totally out of touch with the world of today, the needs and the people and they fail to see the damage they are causing, in the medium and long run.
Back to transport and to finish, it is just amazing the delays, the treatment received by the clients, specially on the part of the budget airlines, but BA is almost as bad. It is ridiculous when they spend precious minutos telling people they can't board, when in the same time, they could and should process the person and take her to the plane, the damn thing stays there for another 30 or 40 minutes, doing fuck all, but they will tell you they are doing something and just can't put you on-board. Yes they are doing what should be done earlier, if they were organised.
Traveling by air is expensive in every way, out of date as well, as there are ways today, of traveling without so much cost and fuss. No, I am not going to give solutions to the politicians, they earn hundreds of thousands of Pounds, I earn nothing in comparison, they should bring in better solutions, but maybe they just favour the interests of the few and theirs, because once they leave office, they get nice plump contracts of millions. By the way, I wonder what Tony Blair has the capability of teaching!!! How to cheat?

Obama? Really? Different drum, same music...
Without a doubt, a gigantic little step in the history of Bushland, I beg your pardon, USA. Fine, the man is the President and I am sure many people manage to see that this was an effort on the part of the people, those that understand the bad standing that the country has in the world, to change. I am happy because at least just over half of the voting population is not as thick as Bush.
When I say of Mr. Bush being thick, no doubt he is, but poor chap and maybe because of that, he just didn't know how to fight those that directed him. He was President, but the only thing he probably had, was the key for the nuke launchers. Sadly he was a puppet of mysterious powers that move in the dark alleys of the interests of the few. It may be that the economical crisis caused by a hot-air economy, will tame those dark forces or even have them lose their grip on power. I do hope that Obama, has the balls to truly be a President and not a puppet. I hope Obama starts the process of changing what has been a greedy and arrogant country, into a decent country, but he will have an extremely difficult job. I hope Obama, will not go looking, not for WMD as there aren't any, but for Weapons of Minimum Destruction. I hope Obama knows more of Mathematics then Bush and his puppeteers knew. The Mathematics are simple and I take this opportunity to say only a few words on this. September 2001, no doubt was something that was a disgrace to the Human kind. Over 3.000 people died and not only Americans as they seem to insist or consider. Bush seems to have thought in terms of an eye for an eye. Well, bad equation because thousands of Americans have died, are physically and/or mentally impaired; this on their side. On the other hand, a country that even under a dictatorship, people had jobs, kids went to school, no one was hungry and no so called terrorist organizations populated or had support in Iraq. Getting back to Mathematics, who then has and is losing out? The so called terrorists? I don't think so. USA has and is. More importantly, Iraq is, for it is now a country in pure shambles, with millions desplaced, over 100.000 dead, a country that will take much longer than it is believed, to grow out of the damage caused by an illegal invasion of a sovereign Nation. America will never learn, because while with half of their mouth, they say they are working on changing the world opinion about them, with the other half, they are provoking and practicing illegal incursions into Syria; if this is how they make friends, then they will never have true ones. They dragged with them those that they see and proclaim as their friends, into a war. Well, those countries are not really their true friends, if they were, they would act as such and would have had the balls to say no. No, we will not participate with you in something that has no reason for being and if you do that alone, we will impose sanctions on you. Hell, is it not what those countries do on other smaller or less powerful, or less rich, when those countries don't comply with what the big bully wants? Mind you, they must love Robert Mugabe, because they are letting him get away with murder and just stand and watch.
They claim that their warmongering actions are to defend their country. Bullshit. You defend your country, any country, at your borders and only attack outside, when someone declares to be an enemy and so gives you the right to fight that enemy at their borders, if you can and have the means. In peace, you defend at your borders, not by invading innocent countries. If they were so concerned for the Iraqi People, why did they “forget” to support what come to be only an attempt, to overthrow Sadam? I will tell you why. It was already written somewhere, their intent to attack Iraq; who knows, maybe a promise from Bush junior to Bush senior. “Hey dad, don't you worry now, I will invent something and attack them in the name of Democracy.”
You know, a few days ago I watched a program about a theory that the 9/11 was an inside job and there are many Americans that believe it and I, I am almost believing that.
Anyway, back to Obama. I am pleased for him, I really am, but I am even more for the Americans because now, they truly can say that, not that they are the shinning example of Democracy, but that they have now initiated Democracy in the country. I guess they chose John McCain to run for the Republican party, because they knew he would never win, he never did before right? What would be different this time, after that same party took the country to its present state in the several and different fronts?!
Yes he is young and bright and seems to have the energy, but do you know what? Mark my words, he will NOT change the ways of America. America is in deep debt, an economy deeply wounded and if anyone thinks that they are going to be “nice guys” now, you are very wrong. Now they have all the reasons they need, to incentivate them to go out there and rob as much as they can. I feel seriously sorry for the developing countries that have Free Trade agreements with America and, if by chance have natural resources or anything (such as a large population) that will make the Americans a buck. The day they torn down Sadam's statue, an ignorant American soldier said that the avenue they were on, would look great if full of shops of particular chain of fast shit, sorry, of fast food, if you prefer. They will use every trick, old and new, old and recent, to revive their economy, without giving a damn about who they hurt in the process, that is America and the way they have been, since the day they became a Nation. No, I am not bitter, I don't give a shit about them as long as whatever they do, does not affect who or what is dear to me.
Beware everyone, beware Administrations of other countries, America just got an injection of confidence and they will be knocking on a door near you.
I just wonder why so many countries/people, follow such arrogance and greed, as something to be like!!!
Yes, I am happy for at least half of the population, they saw the light and wanted change.
Will the now over 30 million be brought out of poverty and the misery it imposes? NO. The bigs dogs will carry on barking like mad and biting you when they are not barking. In 2 years time, many people will be, probably not saying, but thinking that after all nothing changed.
Damn, don't they love themselves, There is some idiot speaking of how America is great and sort of loved in the world. What?! Fuck off, you live under some really pathetic mirage. And this makes me ask something else. Who the hell asked them to be the Police of the World? Who asked them to take care of everyone that is their friend and fuck up those they decide are their enemies? What a load of crap and ignorance. Apart from that, they are bias, if they were the self-proclaimed protectors of the World in truth (which no one wants them to be, apart from the boot licking leaders), why do they act in some places and do nothing about others?! Certainly not if there is no gain for them, they stay away.
Good luck to them. Personally I need 10 years of good behaviour on their part, to believe that they are changing, until then...
...nothing personal Obama, I am pleased for you.
P.S. Is he not Muslem? If he is, should he not say "Allah bless America.", instead of God bless America? What people do for power hey?! Maybe he renounced his religion, I don't know and I don't care a bit about that, just raising a point, if he in fact he is still a Muslim.

The XFactor UK - 4 great voices + 1 sole artist
As I have stated, I am not into idols, I do not idolise anyone, instead I do appreciate and respect all those who have talent, true talent.
I am happy with the final 12 acts selected for the run to the final, although two or three acts that did not make it, should be there. Anyway, here go my thoughts, opinions, call it whatever.
The boys, I am sorry guys but you are not worthy of still being there. Yes you can sing a bit, you are aided to put on your little show, but as artists, you do not have maturity; you are too young a wine, get me?
The men group JLS, sorry guys, it is bad enough seeing girl bands around only because they have the legs, the right cute face or any other attribute. A group of guys, would have to be really extraordinary and you are not. Groups like you remind me of rejected pieces of some choir, if only you could play instruments...
... no I don't want to see you as a band; I guess groups just isn't to my liking.
Diana
Nice little chirpy voice. I think you need to be sent home to go and mature, come back in two or three years and good luck.
Daniel
The man. Daniel, you are emotion and somehow I am tempted to say that your wife is somewhere loving and missing you. She left this world but she is with you all the way. I thank you for bringing to the world, such a demonstration of love. Daniel, whatever happens, please do carry on, you have “your” voice and with some professional coaching, you can become a heart breaker as a sole singer. And Daniel, don't worry about Simon's comments, he is the one that cannot sing, or do much else for that matter. Yes yes I know he is rich and all that crap, I still say that all he can do is make sure everyone sees his false teeth.
Alexandra.
Here we have what Simon calls a full package. I would not be surprised if Alexandra did win. Does she deserve it? Yes. The problem is that if she wins, she will become a money maker and her talent will vanish because money is more important that talent. Alexandra is almost any man's dream, hell she is hot, sexy, pleasant, great voice, a sexy stage presence and, that will be her downfall if she wins, but she will not be the one to blame completely; she wants money and I think that winning or not, she will be caught by some label or agent. No doubt, a man's dream she is, but given the chance, would I marry her? No thanks.
Rachel.
Oh my goodness, has this woman got balls or what? Raw as anyone can be, but what a voice, what a voice. And she has got balls because after her torments in life, she was wise enough to see her talent and face this cruel world and show that people that make mistakes, need to be respected and considered, need to be given a true chance, need to be supported. Rachel, you have my greatest admiration and respect. You have talent and I hope that whatever happens, someone takes your hand and puts you where you should be; singing for us. I hope life will treat you beter than up to now and may you be a shinning example of what is to follow a dream, to believe in oneself; go fighter go. And Rachel, don't you ever let anyone even try to tame your roar and if they aren't confortable with your rawness, it's their problem.
Rachel, you just had to fight to stay in and once again, you shown what you are capable of; congratulations.
Laura.
What a gentle soul with a giant voice. Watching you and although I am not a religious person, I imagine an angel. Such a docile personality. Laura you are like a rose bud that surprises us every time a petal opens, you fascinate. I do not find anymore adjectives. Laura, don't worry about Simon and his package thing, he is looking for legs and yes, you do have them, but you know what I mean. Far too many people now know what he is about, you just carry on being who you are and don't you ever, hide that fantastic voice from us. Do you remember Nicky Evans? She is out there, has a single and, if it comes to that in your case, so be it, but you will still be a hell of a voice, a hell of a singer, a huge talent.
Ruth
Ruth, Luis de Camoes (Portugal/Middle Ages, Google it please) wrote: “...Love is fire that burns, unseen.”. Well Ruth, you are fire, you are emotion, you are feeling, you are talent, you are grace, you are sensuality (no wonder Simon fancies you), you are love, love for what you do and can do, you are a tremendous voice. Singing in a language that is not native to you, is a point in your favour. Please Ruth, whatever happens in your future carreer, don't do what Shakira did when she started singing in English, she lost the fire; money became more important, don't you dare lose your fire. Be Latin and proud of it, be hot in every way you are.
I hope that one of the four girls wins, all four deserve to be made known to all of us, all deserve to have a place amongst the talented ones in the category of singers, all of you are four people that can make us smile, can make us cry, can make us dance, can bring warmth to our hearts. Each of you has, can and should develop your own styles, you are four fantastic people and whatever happens, you are four winners.
Daniel, I just saw the results and you just got the proof that there are millions out there, that want you to carry on, please do so.
Simon, you are an arrogant pain in the ass, but even so, I say one thing in your favour. When you think that you are succeeding in being horrible, you are in fact making people stronger and better than you. You have money and a life style that millions can only dream of, but that does NOT make you special; in fact it makes you one of the most annoying people on the Planet.
