It's a fix! I demand a recount. What idots voted for that bunch of ants in pants twitchers? In 10 years time they'll have all done bird and be exdruggies or dead.

They may be called "Diversity", but I think Janet Jackson should sue:

"Yesterday I was happy to play
For a penny or two a song
Till a fellah in a black sedan
Took a shine to my one-man-band,
He said, "We got plans for you, youd never dream,"

Youre a star, youre a star,
A lamé suit and a new guitar,
And I know that youll go far
Cos youre a star

Youre a star, superstar,
On you go, its your finest hour,
And I know that youll go far
Cos youre a star"

Tony Bitch was, of course, the original Simon Cowell.

Winkie, wink, wink, wink.

Hughie Green was, of course, the original Simon Cowell.

Hughie Green and Simon Cowell? Don't make me laugh Stu (winkie wink)


The year of Green's big break was 1934.
First he and his Gang entered 'cine-variety', touring the Paramount cinema circuit; then he was filmed by the Pathetone Weekly playing office boy to Harry Tate; and finally Gaumont-British cast him in the feature Little Friend supporting their child star Nova Pilbeam.
In the following year he played the title role in the film of Marryat's famous novel Midshipman Easy.
Carol Reed directed, Green saved Margaret Lockwood from bandits, and the mate was played by Harry Tate.
More films followed. Green was a guest star in Radio Pirates (1937), doing a selection of his impressions, an act he repeated in Music Hall Parade (1939).
His repertoire included Jack Buchanan, Claude Dampier ('the professional idiot'), Charles Laughton as Captain Bligh, Robertson Hare, Vic Oliver, Nellie Wallace, and, of course, Harry Tate.
He saved Margaret Lockwood from the Crystal Palace fire in Melody and Romance (1937) and starred with his stage Gang in Down our Alley (1939).

Green's other career, flying, took off when he was nineteen.
He flew solo in June 1939. When the Second World War began he volunteered for the Royal Air Force.
Rejected, he went to Canada, joined the Royal Canadian Air Force, and soon became sergeant instructor for Link trainer aircraft.
After Pearl Harbor he transferred to Ferry Command and spent his war flying Catalinas from California to Russia.
After the war he found himself forgotten by show business, no longer a talented teenager.
He tried Canadian radio in 1945 without much success, played a small part in the Hollywood film If Winter Comes (1947), and returned to England the next year for a supporting role in Paper Orchid.

In 1949 Green put up the idea of a new type of amateur talent show, and the BBC radio producer Dennis Main Wilson took it on.
Opportunity Knocks, with Green billed as 'Your master of opportunities', was a swift success, with its unusual idea of big-name talent spotters.
The film star Sheila Sim was the first, and discovered talent included Jean Bayliss and Louise Traill.
Later came Louise Gainsborough, the Gaunt brothers, the Kordites, and a trumpet impersonator named Spike Milligan.
Embarrassingly, Green's rejects included Alma Cogan and Tony Hancock.

By the end of the first series Green had travelled 20,000 miles, auditioned 4000 acts, and broadcast 165 of them.
Meanwhile Green had been trying, unsuccessfully, to persuade the BBC to show the programme on television.
After the programme was dropped, in 1950, he brought a court action against the BBC, claiming that, for corrupt reasons, they were 'conspiring to prevent the show being screened' in favour of Carroll Levis's Discoveries.
Despite Lord Hailsham's taking up his case, Green lost, and was bankrupted.
Undaunted, he returned to his alternative career as a pilot, ferrying planes and working as a Hollywood stuntman.

Nevertheless he retained his European and broadcasting connections, transferring Opportunity Knocks to Radio Luxemburg (where it was sponsored by Horlicks malted milk) in 1950, and in 1954 devising a new show for Radio Luxemburg.
This was Double your Money, a cash quiz show. The first winners were newly-weds Mr and Mrs Smith, who answered a series of six questions and won the top prize of £32.
The new sponsor was Lucozade.

Hughie Green went on to shape the whole nations TV veiwing habits by discovering-
Russ Abbot, Frank Carson, Les Dawson, Freddie 'Parrotface' Davis, Mary Hopkin, Bonnie Langford, Little and Large, Tom O'Connor, Lena Zavaroni et al.

There's no comparison, Stu.

i am skeptical about the results. a gb show votes for a group of minorities doing minority etertainment over a now world famous singer.

and alabama voted to allow gay marriage... yeah right

Susan was over hyped - it was all down to looks - or lack of them in this case.

Susan's singing, professionally, was not that great. Listen to to her performance - she was singing slightly ahead of the beat.

...

Was her timing off? I thought she sang a bit faster than the music.

Apart from that, she sings very convincingly.

So SB has flipped out. Apparently "A source at the hotel said last night: "She'd been at the hotel for a few days, but since Saturday's final had been acting strangely, causing a bit of a stir.

"The staff were concerned - something wasn't right.

"When the paramedics and police arrived she agreed to go voluntarily. She didn't make a fuss. The paramedics calmly took her out through the main lobby and into the waiting ambulance.

"It was all done very calmly. They didn't want to stress or upset her. She didn't look well - she looked lost, not all there."

They've taken her, looking "spaced-out", to The Priory which is a well known celebrity nuthouse (wasn't Spike Milligan there for a while, and Gazza?).

Also apparently, SB "has learning difficulties" which doesn't surprise me. I reckon she's been hitting the mini bar like Rab C. Nesbitt ever since she came in second and dspite promises of record contracts and US tours (or perhaps because of them) the booze and the loss and the pressure have finally gotten to her.

I've also read speculation from someone who suggests they know about these things, that "Susan Boyle shows all the symptoms of having an undiagnosed case of bipolar disorder. Hope she can now get the help she desperately needs." Which sounds very plausible.

Oh, no...she's already acting like a rock star!

It was definitely murder - but was it art?

Lol! how very true?

who cares how she looks? I though she was great. Why is it it doesnt matter how any of the male contestants look?

True, Pavarotti seemed to do okay despite being a little but podgy.

Yet no one called him "that fat Italian" as Ive mentioned before.

Who is Susan Boyle?
