I thought that the French were meant to have good taste

[Buenchico]

but they've just voted this guy the winner of their X Factor programme. (Perhaps they don't have karaoke over there, 'cos that's about all he's good enough for!)

whatever gave you the idea the French had good taste?

Yet another time I'm glad my pc doesn't have speakers I guess :)

"whatever gave you the idea the French had good taste?"

Charles Heidsieck Champagne, any decent St Emilion Grand Cru claret, Remy Cognac . . .

Not very good, but I have heard worse - somewhere.

[emmie]

he's not that bad, and beside look at the winners of UK ones, most disappeared never to be seen again

[Buenchico]

I've certainly heard worse, Scotman, (usually around closing time in the pub!) but I've also heard a lot better.

"Not that bad" is a bit of a back-handed compliment, Em10, but it's probably that the best that can be said for him.

If a Brit is going to win in France, it would be nice if it was someone whom we could really be proud of!

buenchico - what you quoted as good taste in the French doesn't feature highy in my life I'm afraid but I did live there for a while, hence my comment. ps I still love you

If this was the winner, I shudder to think what the rest were like!
