...does anyone ever laugh at John Clegg's jokes?
|
|
By:
Only when they are funny
|
|

About as funny as NIck Clegg

Cowell:
“I genuinely think that, having gone through their songs, the favourites to win are Bars And Melody and Collabro.” http://tellymix.co.uk/reality-tv/the-x-factor/185170-britains-got-talent-2014-simon-cowell-admits-acts-havent-been-great.html#ixzz33qc4hI5l |

Quote from Cowell there...“I am trying to judge things that aren’t good and I get grumpy on the bad acts.”
Yet he gets a class act like Jodi Bird...and votes her off the show...what a Tw@T! |
|
By:
Have to disagree Stu. She's sexless and unattractive, the West End may have her.
|
|
By:
Harsh
|
|
By:
Yep, have to echo bear there henry - not sure why sex has much to do with talent? She's a singer.
|
|
By:
If the mordacious bear calls me harsh I need to have a long hard look in the mirror.
|
|
By:
Jodi Bird was a horror, very punchable kid
|
|
By:
Seems I've started an ad hominen attack upon her! (poor from this forum IMO)
However, I still don't see how she was not very talented if that was the thing Cowell was bemoaning! |
|
By:
Will people stop calling me things I have to google
 |
|
By:
It's not ad hominen at all. It's entirely relevant to whether she could have won or whether she'll be successful.
(But it's not relevant to us or BGT oc) |
|
By:
For Bear:
Ad hominem when it is used in English refers to the unfair or illogical argumentum ad hominem, and not to the literal Latin phrase ad hominem. |
|
By:
For Henry:
Thanks |
|
By:
 the fun we have |
|
By:
I read the wiki for Ad hominem , I had to stop when my head started to hurt
 |
|
By:
Jodi was a typically annoying stag school kid. Not as annoying as many, but never really a runner
|
|
By:
Not sure people seem to be getting my point: Cowell said there was no 'talent' (which apparently annoyed him, yeeeeaah ok....), she had 'talent' (as a singer). Was merely pointing out he was talking like a tw't as usual...
|
|
By:
she had more talent than the teenie magnet lad that sang later and prob stuffed her in the vote.
|
|
By:
Flip flop cometh. BAM my biggest red.
|
|
By:
off topic but exquisite watching inverdale interviewing bartoli now on itv after calling her ugly last year...#awkward. Sharapova odds against to lose the first set I see.
|
|
By:
The flip has flopped. Amanda said Collabro had hacked up so no surprise. I have BAM not winning so staying loyal to that despite twitter.
|
|
By:
just one backer seemed responsible for the BAM price drop..once the 2.34 lay got sorted the inevitable drift started.
|
|
By:
|
|
By:
they remind me of a young Hall & Oates
 |
|
By:
I have laid BAM top 3 but stupidly at 1.25 when they have traded at 1.1 today I think
|
|
By:
Is the running order public yet?
|
|
By:
nah
|
|
By:
Except we know Cowell will be pimping BAM and Collabro but can't see two singing acts closing the show...need something like a violinist to break it up a bit.
|
|
By:
looking at the market I'd say it's
9. P+N 10. Lucy 11. Collabro |

By:
A forecast market has been added on here.

Just laid Toju, £1.50 at 1000. Who waits until an hour before the final to cash in a £1500 red? Just that big green on Ricky to get rid of now...

In what sense could a magician be the most talented?
