mc_squared Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Well................... Eoigan came a surprise third No surprise at all. He got more than he deserved by even making the final.;) which left the final two- JLS and Alexandra and the winner was... Alexandra! Well done to her :D It was the right result. She fully deserved it, but overdid the crying again afterwards. She needed it more than JLS, who will do fine anyway. The song sucks, though.:dozey: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iPsy Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Well, Eoigan deserved 3rd BUT i thought he was really popular and did you see Alexandra snatch the CD from Dermot's hand? :lol: I love the song! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixed Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Thank fuck Egg Nog didn't win. The winner's song should have been Peter Kay's "Winners Song". I see there's going to be another series? How long is it going to go on for?! The very first one that See Hear won was quite novel and interesting - wow, manufactured pop before our eyes! But now it's just cringeworthy; all these NORMAL people who DREAM and go on JOURNEYS. Fuck off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenjie Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I can't believe Alexandra won. Out of the last 3, would rather have had Eoghan or JLS. Out of all of them, would rather Laura or Ruth. I've seen somewhere that a revolt is planned! Instead of having her for number 1, people are planning to download the Jeff Buckley version so he can be Christmas number 1 :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mc_squared Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Reality cheque: How the stars of BB, BGT and X Factor are now raking it in!! Reality cheque: How the stars of BB, BGT and X Factor are now raking it in By Liz Thomas Last updated at 9:36 AM on 29th May 2009 Comments (12) Add to My Stories The cynical among us dismiss it as the home of self-absorbed fame-seekers. But it seems a stint on reality TV really can pay dividends. According to a rich list published yesterday, some of those who managed to launch careers on the back of shows like Big Brother and The X Factor have gone on to bank millions. Unsurprisingly, the list is topped by the likes of Girls Aloud, Will Young and Leona Lewis. But even the first Big Brother winner, Craig Phillips, creeps into the top ten, having amassed himself an estimated ?5million since he came to public attention in 2000. Girls Aloud, who first came to the fore on ITV1's Popstars: The Rivals, head the list having earned more than ?25million in seven years. Will Young and Leona Lewis, who made their names on singing contests Pop Idol and The X Factor respectively, are ranked in second and third place. While Young is now on his fourth album and has had a string of top ten singles, Miss Lewis has signed a ?5million multi-album deal in the U.S. More... Saxophone smoothie Julian Smith and double act Two Grand make it through to the Britain's Got Talent finals The Hackney-born star is also planning her own line of accessories to build up her fortune. Jade Goody, who died earlier this year after battling cervical cancer, built up an ?8million fortune. She was the poster girl for reality television because she made millions after her appearance on Big Brother despite having no discernible talent. High earners: Leona Lewis and Will Young both profited from reality TV Myleene Klass also made a career out of reality TV. She first hit the headlines in ITV talent contest Popstars, before going on to try to earn a living in failed pop band Hear'Say. Her career was ailing until she appeared on I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here! in 2006 sporting a white bikini. The shots of her taking a shower in the jungle helped turn her fortunes around, securing her a modelling deal with Marks & Spencer worth ?750,000. She has also gone on to enjoy success as a presenter with jobs on The One Show, Last Choir Standing and Ten Years Younger. James Du Bern, of online channel Current TV, which conducted the survey, said: 'The Reality Rich List proves that, for a select few, the genre really is a source of both fame and fortune. It's amazing how financially lucrative a relatively short stint on TV can become.' Also in the top 25 big earners is Paul Potts, who won Britain's Got Talent in 2007. He is now worth ?5million. Castaway star Ben Fogle, has made ?2million. The list was compiled from detailed interviews with agents, producers and financial experts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
