ha..ha..ha..ha. So sad old Will Young failed to win a single poll and could only limp in at 5th place. His face was a picture, as he attempted to smile his way through the ordeal.

The Norwegian (once a nill point nation) guy won every single country's poll, with (not surprisingly) the american girl second.

Now can people see that the 'best' of British Pop is no longer world class as it once was. This is the damage that Waterman and Cowell have done to our culture.

Very, very, sad....

Did anyboy notice how will young went and put his arm around the belgian rock guy at the end.

WTF was going on there...

unclebuck

lol.

I reckon the only reason this show was staged was to 'make' WY the No1 pop idol in the world, but it all went badly off script. His smile got more and more fixed as he watched his future career evaporating in front of his eyes. Funniest thing I've seen for ages.

The "HOBBITT" had a g8t voice well done that man.

Why the hell did they have Victoria Beckham on she was sh!te, can't sing can't dance, just bloody mimes all the sodding time.
Good old Elton John, he's getting too be a little porker but at least he wasn't miming

i'm sure Will Young is crying into his champagne as we speak....

...like it really matters....

unclebuck

Of course it matters. He will now be perceived as a loser instead of a 'winner'. He's as good as finished.

UB

Freak

zzzzzzz

ianmiller999

Don't think so, I am certain my mum will keep buying his records. Wonder how long it will be before he releases a greatest hits album.

unclebuck

I was thinking more of companies that use his image and name to endorse products and such. They are notoriously fickle about these sorts of things. Once that happens it's the begining of the end.

ub,

FFS you're like a stuck record with this - give it up will you!

You have your opinion - you've told us what it is at least 100 times - we do not need to hear it again!

Are you some sad jealous wannabe pop star that never made it because you sure sound like it?

Happy New Year btw

tiggers.

unclebuck

Happy New Year to you and yours too....

You have your opinion

I do. But this post is not about that... It's about the *facts* of the votes on World Idol.

I agree that the results support my opinion though.

The "hobbit" seemed to be more popular than Simon Cowell... must be a message in there somewhere

Oh, and Ian, I'm sure the Belgian guy appreciated so much genuine warmth

tiggers

ub,

WOO HOO - HYPOCRISY ALERT!!!

According to your posts in the last month or so these Pop Idol voting things are all a load of sh1te. Now you're using the result of one to support your opinion of Will Young - how come it's OK when the result matches your opinion?

Added to that you think Pop Idol is complete tosh so why does the fact that Will gets voted fifth on a 'vote of votes' (if you like)matter one iota - once again becuase it matches your opinion I suspect!

Anyway fact or not at least he's not been voted World Idol so can you please please please at least give us a week off on your opinion of Will Young?

You still didn't answer ny question about why it bothers you so much - wannabe pop star who failed or not? - come on tell us all

tiggers.

That's what statistics are for.... Don't be a sore loser

BTW - I'm glad you care as much as me about this debate.

TelBoy

UB, you *do* realise Will Young savagely criticised the World Idol format as a purely money-spinning exercise, and only took part to fulfil a contractural obligation, don't you?

Mickle

To me it looked like Will was there because he had to be, didn't look like he took any of it seriously

unclebuck

No, I didn't know that, but that only makes it funnier. He must have suspected he would get flattened. Then, bye bye career. LOL.

UB

TelBoy

We shall see Mr B.

Still, if two number one albums is a failed career, i'm Father Christmas!

unclebuck

HMV and Virgin take a bow for massaging the figures to give Will his 'Number one'

Time will tell what happens to Will... wait and see.

UB

ianmiller999

Does it really matter if his career goes down the pan, he has already showed that he is in it for the music, by taking time to release the album he wanted to when he wanted to.

And he has made enough money to be able to live a good lifestyle and continue to do this.

Kurt was simply the best singer out of the lot and is a deserved winner of the title.....I thought kelly was pretty hot, good singer as well but did you look at the expression on her face..................BAD LOSER (she almost believed her own hype...diva crap)

:eek:

Kurt outclassed them all, his voice was totally amazing. Ok, so he ain't no oil painting......but who cares ? The guy made the rest of em look like a bunch of 'also rans'

I'll answer it for him. Basically he's one of the reasons that I'm a hardcore raver today. IIRC a hardcore rave promoter of the past. Respect, as they say, is due.

Had to watch this with my family at christmas.I thought the Norweigen was brilliant.Didn't think anyone would be able to carry that song off other than U2 but was very wrong.

Mickle

Think that's why he won, U2 is already a known global success.

UB seems convinced that WY has seen his career evaporate,thing is i doubt if he really cares as hes probably already earned more than ub will in his life

fair play to the bloke
