Today’s Top Tweets – X-Factor Special

Sunday, December 13th, 2009

toppage Phew. Got through entire series without seeing a single frame of XFactor. Or “cynicallymakesquillionsforcowellfactor” as I call it. Get me.

torybear Flirty sobo gives me the fear.

sshrpe Perhaps X Factor 2010 will be the ‘Michelle MacManus Season’, in which the premise of the show is deliberately undermined by the audience.

RealTimbone I look forward to hearing Joe sing some good songs, not like the totally predictable winners single

KerronCross “And here he is singing his song…” His song? Miley Cyrus’s. #xfactor

juliahobsbawm #X Factor. Can’t help feeling glum for Olly. That winking, grooving, saucyness deserves pop success, just as mister pitch perfecto Joe does.

BevaniteEllie FAO everyone who voted in #XFactor : if it’s ur 1st General Election next year,join @Virginvoters and make sure u vote then!

stuartmaclennan RT @AlexCornish It goes without saying but joe off x factor has got almost as much x factor as a hangover. Olly should have won

ericjoyce 200000 applicants. Soon the entire UK population will have auditioned. I can do spoons.

Herring1967 Now that’s a programme I would watch. X Factor – only one will survive.

Charonqc My interest in X-Factor? Zero… absolute zero.. but I am sure it does wonders for the crime figures

i think jeff at tactical voting has a good point about fearmongering over asian candidates in glasgow.
clearly picking on someone because he is muslim and helping the local muslim community is not on for any party or its representatives.

it appears to me as a layman that both candidates, the snp and labour one have done some work in communities that have their share of extremists. both guys do not condone those views i am sure.

but picking on one guy and not the other who you know well for exactly the same “offence” is petty politicing, and worse bearing in mind the sensitivity of the subject matter.

so could you please do the decent thing and answer him on that point?

What’s Tory Bear on about, ’sobo’? Or does he mean a sort of cross between Subo and Bojo? That would probably look a bit like this:

Having said that, Susan looked lovely last night.

Simon Cowell, the millionaire mastermind behind The X Factor, is thinking of producing a ‘political X Factor’, in which hot topics are debated and voted on by the British public.

Speaking to BBC Newsnight, he said he has an idea that the public would debate key issues like the British troop presence in Afghanistan and knife crime. He suggested a red phone might be on the stage, allowing No 10 to call in to explain its position.
