To be fair to Olly Murs, he's had consistent musical success as well now. He's pretty big over here, hear his music all the time. Girls Aloud were also around for a while, and obviously Cheryl Cole has continued that a bit as well. Jessie J is just as manufactured, I reckon. Agree that Joss Stone has talent though.
how'd you get an agent and the money to hire such firms though? thats what i don't understand? theres many a goup ending up on x factor having failed to do it.
Yes, but you need the money for it. A lable will also probably have more experience in the industry. You can probably do it without, but you're essentially becoming you're own label then and it's a lot of money and risk.
I dont think Girls Aloud were from X Factor, from a similar show years back though. Jessie J at least writes some of her own music though. I like Jon Lajoie's piss take on the music industry:
girls aloud were from pop idol the rivals. one erection were from x factor. so were little mingers as was that whiney girl with the give up the ghost or some such ****e...... and leona big nose... and many many others who'd no muscial writing talent what so ever. they all got cowell's quick buck treatment. Olly murs is drivel... but you lot like the hoff so god knows.
I didn't say Olly Murs was good, just that he's been successful. It is impressive how popular the hoff still is with a certain age group over here.
Guys like him because he was Michael Knight, and chicks like him because of all the time he spent running around semi naked and muscular in Baywatch.
Well thats why the Germans like him, for sure. That and his god awful 80's pop music The Krauts love it!!
Muscular on bay watch..... I only remember a fat aging hairy bloke. Perhaps it was cos he only allow shorties or balding as men on it. Did women watch baywatch
From what I recall women were the only ones who watched Baywatch. Men looked at it, but I don't think it was for it's rivetting stories or compelling acting.
I dunno he wore a lot of tops and sucked it all in as far as I could tell there. The girls were what we poor unfortunates called porn back then.. you needed a sleeve ball down the video shop for anything else.
