Three words. The. Conway. Sisters. I am of course referring to ‘that Irish group’ from The X Factor – a show which left me dumbfounded on Saturday. Of all the tripe that is currently still in the current line up, the public decide they don’t like Maria or the Conway Sisters. Well, I applaud them for not voting for the latter, but for the former – well, I cannot forgive them. I haven’t heard the original version of Brown Sugar, but I absolutely adored Maria’s version – I really love this song now. And then the Conway Sisters sing Hold On – one of my favourites – and they slaughter it. There is no excuse for that diabolical representation of a Wilson Philips classic. But the audience cheered, and the judges stroked egos, which was a fatal flaw. And so it was left to the idiocy of the ITV1 audience – something which has been proven far too many times to exist.
Chenai also fell victim to the votes as well, when more deserving people were ripe for the picking. Journey South, Nicholas, and of course, the Conway Sisters. Was it the Irish Mafia? I seriously doubt it, but I do agree with the fact that Maria went because of were she came from. For who had the deciding vote? Louis Walsh – an Irish. At every opportunity he spouts on about Irish this and Irish that. Sure, there’s nothing wrong with praising talent from where you come from, but Louis is just in a league of his own. Add the fact that he’s so far up Simon Cowell’s arse that it’s unhealthy, and you’ve got a wrong decision set in stone. Don’t take my word from it – the boo’s from the crowd straight after the announcement, the media backing, and the revelations that are coming to light about the group of Corrs rejects – Maria, you’ve gotta see her… And the Conway Sisters – you’re days are numbered. C’est la vie.
I really shouldn’t let myself get drawn in like I do, but I can’t help it. And what are my alternatives? Strictly Come Dancing? Please – quick-quick-slow, turn-turn-kick. I don’t think so. Go outside? With all this bird flu business going around? I think I’ll stay home, thank you very much.
Until next time – Beware of little leprechauns who are a little too close to people who wear high trousers.

I apologise, but I couldn’t bring myself to read past the first paragraph of this post, I detest X Factor! But I’m sure it’s a great post!
Love You x

Thank you Darren - I did read that article. For a man with such high pants, he does have a good mind for music. And Lee, I've read your posts when they haven't interested me - that means all of them! ;)
