Jay Kay on the X Factor

[smurfchops]

Did you see Cheryl and Danni ignore him at the end of his 'song' which was complete cr@p by the way. I read what he said about them so am not surprised. What a plonker. google Jamiroquai X Factor to see what he said ..

As far as an overweight winner - remember Michelle Macmanus?

For some reason, the voting public decided it would like a fat pop star, and we'd all pretend that she was dead good, and it didn;t matter that she was rather plain and not an especially good singer ...

then the novelty wore off, we remembered we like our pop stars to be fit, and she vanished without trace!

As far as Jay Kay goes - I think he's just filling in until Stevie Wonder starts making hit records again.

Anyone who thinks Jay Kay is cool - check out any of the first four SW albums to see where he stole it all from

I quite like the music, but he is a bit of a nob-end by all accounts.

[andy-hughes]

Pretty succinctly summed up there ludwig!

[ummmm]

Jay Kay couldn't clean SW's boots...

[China Doll]

While I think he could have phrased it better, I would find it hard to disagree with the sentiments behind his comments. I don't think either of them are particularly talented.

Im not sure why the whole Stevie Wonder thing is/has been brought up? JK is a massive fan of Stevie Wonder and he has always said that he was his biggest influence and more than likely why his music does sound very similar. I still think he has done an amazing thing by making the type/style of music that he does, for a white boy he has a lot of soul and not a lot of other people from the UK were doing that and certainly not with the sucess that he has had.
Every artist has been influenced by someone else or genre of music thats how it works, even the legend that is Stevie Wonder was influenced by Gospel, Jazz and Blues!
I know JK can be a bit difficult and arrogant but he does make a good tune and isnt afraid to speak his mind which i find quite refreshing in a world full of plastic, robotic wannabees.

Not at all Butch , i think it was a very smart PR move. He has a new album out to promote and despite him always slating the show he was still asked to be on it and presumably he was paid as well, i think that is very ironic and funny. Any PR is good PR isnt that what they say?!

[whiskeysheri]

Yet the stage of The X Factor was still good enough to perform on? :/ Arrogant git.

What ludwig said...

[andy-hughes]

Sooper - there is a mile-wide line between being influenced by an artist, and ripping off their sound and style.

Led Zeppelin were influenced by Willie Dixon, Jay Kay is 'influenced' by Stevie Wonder - can you spot the difference in the results?

[Sooper]

I know, its funny isnt it! Made me chuckle when i saw he was going to be on the show!
Yes he is arrogant but loads of famous people are, lets not forget Simon Cowell is one of the most arrogant people in the world but he seems to be able to get away with it!
It was a brilliant move from JK!

jay kay was bang on the money, at least he can write his own songs

We will have to agree to disagree on this one Andy!
There is no way that JK is in the same league as Mr Wonder, only a fool would suggest that but i still think he is very talented and i have been a big fan of the music for many years.
Acid Jazz meets Soul and Disco, works for me!

[Sooper]

No your right Butch i dont expect we wil see any of those artists appear anytime soon, i didnt say that they would. I meerly pointed out that i think it was a bit of a coo him going on the show after always slating it and getting to promote his new album. Afterall we are all still talking about it so i guess it has had an effect and is why i think it was a clever move from JK!
You dont like him, i get that but i do so there!!

[Sooper]

Nice one Butch, ive not got a copy yet but i will do. Ive got all of the others and have liked them all , proper toe tappers!
