  I am staggered by the amount of people who watched that X Factor final..one third of the entire population 31.1 million, with 10 million of these people voting. In the seventies television viewing figures sometimes reached peaks like that but its unheard of in recent times. As some ould rocker said recently, the whole show is nothing more than "kareoke for the masses". Alas im not qualified to talk about it as Ive never seen it but am impressed by those staggering viewing figures.
  
  Getting on that show and winning it is a license to print money because of the sheer mass appeal. You may not like it, its a kind of Tesco for the TV age, but its success is staggering. These people voting pay to vote too..perhaps thats how the politicians should do it.
  
  I heard an item on one of the peak time news programmes which said that Simon Cowell might singlehandedly save the fortunes of ITV. This guy to me looks like a reworking of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein but I guess thats another matter.
  
  But by not watching it from day one...I now feel the whole nation is having one heck of a party and I havent been invited...boooo hooo! sob!
