Xfactor Final Tonight.

[Georgiesmum]

Well, I didnt expect that result tonight, did you?

ummmm - //Did Diana Ross and groups like that write and play their own music?

(serious question as I don't know) //

No they didn't - neither did Elvis.

There has always been a market for production companies and labels and writers who combine variously to produce pop music, it has been like that since the start.

That's why I have always said that Stock Aitken And Waterman were the Holland Dozier Holland if their era.

Rather than dismissing this format as 'invalid', I look at it as being a different way to write, record and produce music.

The Motown version appeals hugely, the modern pop equivalents, less so, but that is the way the pop world works. If I was sixteen now, the current pop output may well appeal - although I missed out on seeing T. Rex because I dismissed them as a 'teenybopper group' in their day, so maybe not.

But for me a huge part of the pleasure of music is debating its pluses and minuses, ever may they be out there.

Thats the result I expected, he is excellent, they both were!

JLS may have mimed that time jj, but they sang live every time on X Factor and sang well. They were a good band and I was sorry when they split up. I too through Saara would win, but I like Mat.
