For No Good Reason But That...

[vetuste_ennemi]

and like both Ms Ferguson's voice and the video:

[vetuste_ennemi]

Do have her first album on MP3. Anybody remember who won (X Factor?) that year?

[dannyk13]

Matt Cardle

[Old_Geezer]

I couldn't tell you who won, or even appeared as a contestant, in X Factor for any year.

[vetuste_ennemi]

Got a preference, Danny? Matt or Becky?

(Personally I'm so old-fashioned/bigoted/societally stereotyped that's there's only one option)

[andy-hughes]

That's as good a reason as any vetuste.

[naomi24]

I like her. As singers go she's unique.

[andy-hughes]

Naomi - // As singers go she's unique. //

Surely all singers are unique?

[naomi24]

Oh no, definitely not ... many are two-a-penny.

[Mamyalynne]

Rebecca is fabulous and truly deserves her success.

[vetuste_ennemi]

...another non-winner MissHenderson:

[andy-hughes]

Naomi - // Oh no, definitely not ... many are two-a-penny. //

That addresses a sense of individuality, which is essential for any art for to succeed, but it does not gainsay my point that all singers are unique, because all human beings are unique.

[Patsy33]

Love her voice! She's a lovely person too.

[naomi24]

andy-hughes, how very profound....

[andy-hughes]

Naomi - // andy-hughes, how very profound.... //

Thank you - does that mean you concede that my point is accurate?

[naomi24]

No, andy-hughes, not at all. As I said, some singers are two-a-penny. Nothing unique about them.

[SparklyKid]

As a person I am unique, ie, there is only one of me.

Some singers on the other hand are ten a penny with no unique talent.

Visit any karaoke night and you will get my drift.

[andy-hughes]

They may sound similar, but they remain unique.

[SparklyKid]

Only unique as a person , not as a singer.

[kvalidir]

Yay, fight fight fight fight!

//some singers are two-a-penny. //

yes, that would be most products of the x-factor genre, where the makers and songwriters are pandering to the tastes of the Saturday night tv audience. it's good that some singers break free of this and branch out into the interesting - and also interesting that many of those that do were not winners.
