FAME ACADEMY

As the final two of Fame Academy students have been anounced, i was wondering who you thought might win?

Eugh. Pass.
But Alex does have some amount of talent, so she's the lesser of two evils, pluss her ego is only as big as a Mini compared to Alastair's stretch limo.

Oh Hell, does that mean she's going to release an album!? 8O Save us from the manufactured morons!

But seriously, if you rearange the following sentence you'll get my opinion of her: Moron, Talentless.

Testify
05 Oct 2003, 01:44

Right Heat,you've called me a heathen once tonight,so right back at ya...

HEATHEN

:lmao:

I can't stand these "talent" shows.The first was sort of interesting due to curiosity value,but it's all getting very tiresome very quickly :zzz:

heat
05 Oct 2003, 11:29
I am in complete agreement with ya Mousie - not about the Heathen bit though!!!

But seriously - have you heard this girl sing??? I personally thought she was fanf**kingtastic!!! :lol: :twisted:

Rob The Badger
05 Oct 2003, 12:09
It was the last straw when she buthcered Yellow on TOTP and THEN she slaughtered Imagine with a pick-axe. . .GOOD LORD!
As a musician, I have an inbred hate for these peole.
Besides, neither of them can write a decent song. . .
Give me Annie Lennox anyday. . .

Alex is unique, she has a wondererful quality to her voice. I don't believe she will ever become one of these manufactured artists :!: Alex can also write lyrics, did you hear and see her own song last night - fabulous, sent a shiver up my spine, I for one will buy her first album without even listening to any tracks, such is my faith in Alex.

WELL DONE ALEX

Rob The Badger
05 Oct 2003, 15:17

i agree, i thought her song was fantastic. I never watched the first fame academy, but theres summin bout her. she'll go far. :D

GO ALEX

Rob The Badger
05 Oct 2003, 21:38
but theres summin bout her. she'll go far. :D

I strongly agree, she's going the same way that Sneddon bloke went, in the bargain bin and up the record company's ***. To put it bluntly. I'm bet on that.

heat
05 Oct 2003, 23:05
Eyeore...I'm gonna hafta disagree with you on this one..

She is one of the few artists that can make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up - to quote someone rather famous...

She's got a voice like a horny f**king angel...

who said that??

im gonna definatly get her album when it comes out, shez great :D

Rob The Badger
05 Oct 2003, 23:07
Yes. She has got one helluva voice. But in the hands of the record company, she's going nowhere. Is it a shame? Yes. Is it innevitable? Unfortunately, yes.

dottie
24 Oct 2003, 23:07
Anyone here also see Alex on Top of the Pops, she was fab. knocked that manufactured lot into a ~~~~ hat :lol: Can't wait to buy that single, she penned that herself,and then the album.

Testify
24 Oct 2003, 23:24

I thought she would be the epitomy(sic) of manufactred pop. The whole 'writing songs herself' thing is a gimmick. They tried it with that Sneddon bloke and well, he didn't get anywhere. Won't last. Sorry.

Testify, Heart Radio have been playing Alex today, love that song, on the brain all the time now. Going to buy next week

Rob The Badger
25 Oct 2003, 21:53
Oh how I hate to admit this. . .Just heard that song, well half of it on the radio, didn't hear the name. . .and um. . .yes. She can write a semi-decent tune. Props to her for that. Shame really. Record company's gonna milk her (no pun intended) for all she's worth. . .

Looks like I'm the only person who prefers Alistair :oops:

I think Alex's song (If That's What It Takes I think it's called?) is very downbeat and depressing. Give me Alistair's Bring It On any day. Much more upbeat and cheerful. Sky TV are using it as a theme for some football programme. Would make a great single. :D

Testify
27 Oct 2003, 22:49
Alister is ok, hez ended up with near enough the same record deal as Alex, and is bringin 'Bring It On' out as a single near christmas i think, the song by Alex is called 'Maybe thats what it takes' think it is a hit it will get to number one me thinks with the right promotion, it got a very good reception at Top Of The Pops and with her doin more apperences a number one shouldnt be a problem, so is Alisters maybe.... not too sure bout his, its got the patential to be a hit. :D

I disagree wit it bein down beat, tis just me tho :wink: hehe.

Testify
28 Oct 2003, 02:06
Album is out on the 24/11. :D :D

Thanks for the website Testify. Looks like a good sight.

I bought the album on Saturday so we've been listening to that.

So Alistair's single is out on the 29th (Thanks Sapphire Lady). Will probably get that as I kept finding myself singing it.
