FAME ACADEMY FIXED?

OK Alex is talented and only 19.

But could the FA Final be anymore biased towards ALEX.

I think not.- i think even she was embarassed by the situation that was created.

The whole programme led with the theme

`` IF ALEX DOESN`T WIN THEN SHE HAS BEEN ROBBED`` etc etc.

I know Alistair was my personal favourite so i do have a certain bias also but still, i didn`t have the same influence to the outcome as BBC producers and others.

Daniel Bedingfield is a complete wa*nker.- Who was obviously scared of a market rival completing for his sales.

Ok thats it. No doubt no one cares but never mind.

My friend works for the BBC, she came home p..... last night! She was told last week that if Alister wins the BBC will not recommission another series. Politics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [reply]


I do believe this to be the case also.

Haven`t seen much of FA so you`ll have to tell me was it a telephone vote? I do know that it was between Alex(The Lesbian) and the bloke Alistair. I suppose she was the interesting, most talked about half of the duo so looks like politics have come good. As to whether it was a fix or note I have no idea and I won`t be buying her album.

P.S. At my desk is a burn`t CD of Daniel B(not mine of course).

David, apart from the wa*nker bit, what do you mean by the above statement?

Have to agree DB what a fooking KNOB, to explain the 2 finalist had to sing with him, after they had finished he was saying vote Alex, you must vote Alex etc etc...... nothing about Alistair, then Patrick Keilty piped up Alistair is a pretty good singer too. Didn`t think DB was that good live either, thought Alistair was a better singer imho. Don`t think i`ll be buying Alex`s cd she didn`t really do it for me, just another point i think Alistair needed to win more than Alex because i think she would have been given a record deal anyway, just my thoughts.

Basically he pleaded for the british public to vote for Alex to Win after performing songs with both her and Alistair.

With Alistair just standing by him it was just so distasteful and i`m surprised alistair didn`t just smack him.

But DB was just going with the complete bias of the whole night.

Had to watch it though to understand.

Corrupt

One young man has just been robbed of a million pounds

Everyone involved in this scam should be ashamed.

Thing is, I really don`t know anybody who actually liked Alex. Here voice wasn`t my kind of thing, I don`t know what it was about it. Maybe its the way she jumps from one note to the next, or just sounds really dull. Maybe its because she sings like a man. I dunno, but I just wish that the program wasn`t so blatantly biased. There was no question at any point of it going to Alistair (or indeed Caroline).

And yes, Daniel Beddingfield was a total pratt, and was probably thought he might be in there with Alex.

And is she actually a lesbian btw?

I found the whole thing a bore. I only watched the final. As much as I like DB (I consider he has written a classic love song in "If Your Not The One") he did wrong in wording his bias towards Alex. She was OK (is it important to mention that she is a lesbian, on here, or anywhere?!), nothing special. Alistair was quite good, but nothing special. Fixed? I doubt it, but getting pushed in that direction, absolutely!
