The British Idol show. You know, Simon Cowell & co wink



thanks-I was wondering too lol



We used to have Pop Idol before the U.S had American Idol but Pop Idol had a age restriction, 16 - 25 i think, then there was Pop Stars where a girl and boy group were formed to rival each other then came X Factor where the singers are split into groups under 25s, groups, girls and boys. it's all a load of cack anyway!

cool

Whitney said it best a couple of weeks ago when asked about the talent on the show.... she said they are all young... they have time to improve.


He was ok I suppose, but not really very good....he will need time to improve so should have left this song ALONE sad

Cowell said he picked it himself as it's one of his favourite songs and also very hard to sing, I personally don't like contestants trying to sing P songs, like what's the point? they're never going to do them justice!! and as much as I like Danyl [I even think he has a bit of a P look about him] I didn't like the way he sung it at all - he changed the words around and was all over the place!!

Just heard a rumour (someone text me) that Danyl will be singing Purple Rain on Saturday.

Glad someone with a bit of talent will be having a go.

Only a rumour. But will give him my vote if he pulls it off.

The guys a joke...he thinks he's a star before actually making it and he's a clone of Will Young

I thought it was okaaay... but I wanted to scream at him "Get your hands out of your pockets!!!" I mean WTF? How can you sing PR with your hand in your pocket, where was the passion??!!! I still think he's good. I think the X Factor takes a lot of the 'rawness' away from those people like Danyl and Jamie, and it all starts to look 'manufactured', just give me some passion rather than perfect vocals any day, if they already have a good voice it's going to come across. And Danni's comment about screaming "Don't scream" eh... Prince is known for his screaming, so if you're going to do a Prince song, and you can get away with it, yes SCREAM!! I'm so tired of blandness .... but if he can get through this and be true to himself I think Danyl has a good career ahead of him.

Oh, but doesn't it just show, again, how incredible Prince really is....
Actually, thinking about it, the tribute band Purple Rain would have blown this rendition out of the WATER... and the X Factor really has become BORING!

Rant for the day lol

Danyl was shit as fuck and Prince should break his legs.

The arrangement was cheesy as fuck, his vocals were piss and for fucks sake you can't do Purple Rain with no guitar.

Nothing special tbh. It was good to know that PR is one of Cowell's favorite songs of all time though.

Do they even have rights to perform it? I'm not too sure Prince would agree to this!

You don't know that. Prince himself performed on American Idol. And why would a major television show go all pirate and okay a song that they didn't have rights to? Did you not hear the major hubbub about David Archuleta's dad making him sing a few different lines in some song that Fox didn't have the rights to? MAJOR brouhaha. Remember the first couple of years of American Idol where the songs were very limited because not every publishing house or record company had opened up their doors to allow rights to the majority of songs?

YES they have the rights.

They, meaning Warner Bros? Not Prince.

Boring. Is it just me, or does is he incapable of singing a melody? He can scream and shout well but he never sings the tune of a song. I think Whitney told him something along those lines when he sang in front of her.

He should be my favourite contestant but he really isn't.

I think it's because he tries to do his own versions and doesn't want to copy the original. Unfortunately he fails at it.

The Purple Rain performance was utterly boring and I don't understand why non of the judges seemed to think so.

it's a shame that the only Prince song EVER done is Purple Rain. I guess the other 29 years of songs aren't worth considering. To be honest, The Beautiful Ones is a much better song to show off your vocal talents (bearing in mind this week's songs were from films)

I think Danyl did OK apart from being a bit late coming in here and there and not getting the atmosphere Prince creates with it.

That spanish chick Ruth Lorenzo did a far superior job on it last year, plus she was kinda hot, a little on the thick side but yeah, hot.
