I have to confess to voting on the X Factor. Only because a young lass I know was a close friend of Jonathan Ansell of G4 and she asked me to....had a look...liked G4 so I humoured her and voted.
Loved that Susan Boyle found a platform for her voice.
Not a show I watched other than voting for G4 and watching Susan Boyle but it was popular for a time and did no harm.
Same with BGT. I watched Stavros Flatley for strange family reasons not to be disclosed here. Bit of fun at the time and again did no harm.
gness I thought Stavros Flatley was hilarious on his first routine.
I voted once for Shayne Ward because I liked his singing and he was from Manchester like me.
He seemed to give up singing and take up acting but I've no idea what he's doing these days.
He was one that won and yet just like so many others, you don't hear from them now.
