The first thing that needs to be done, is for the x factor producers and ITV to admit the phone voting was unfair, and not operating properly. Once they admit this, then rhydian will be awarded the crown.

Other weird happenings on the final night:

when the x factor rejects were supposed to come on stage, some scandals happened.

1. The muscular men that carried the fat girl in the wedding dress, had to much oil on their bodies and hands, and almost dropped her.

2. Some of the rejects never made it onto the stage, because the door they were behind would not open.

3. One of the old female rejects was so nervous, she fell down and broke her arm.

While rhydian fans are crying fowl, and blaming his loss on the phone scandal and an inability to vote, there was much more going on that x factor fans had any idea about. these happenings were the most exciting turn of events. here is only a couple of them…

The worst x factor rejects were phoned 2 days prior to the final, and offered to be part of the final. They came from all over the country and were put into a hotel nearby.

The x factor producers doubled the rejects into the same rooms, and this caused a major warning signal amongst them.

The lady in the red scarf is a crazy psycho killer

Icaro happened to be walking in the hallway to the rejects floor in the hotel room, on friday night, when he saw the japanese reject in the hall crying in a panic. Icaro approached her and the japanese lady said her room mate was going to kill her.

She begged Icaro to save her from the lady with the red scarf, who she said had an assortment of knives laid out on the bed. She was whittling a piece of wood with one of the knives. The woman in the red scarf was talking to herself all night, and told the japanese lady that she was planning on murdering her.

Icaro went into the room and saw a gigantic drawing of a person thats head was chopped off, and knife stabbings throughout the body.

Icaro immediately took the japanese lady to the lobby and asked that the japanese woman be given another room. Far Far away from the crazy psycho killer with a roomful of knives.

This is a letter from an x factor fan site reader….

To whom it may concern.

I cannot believe that Rhydian didn’t win the xfactor. I have nothing against young Leon and thought the youngsters may vote him in.

However, Rhydian’s number was not put on screen until nearly the end of the 2nd half with only minutes to vote. Leon’s number was on at the beginning. After reading comments about all who couldn’t get through and also the Judges comments to Rhydian at the end, I now believe that it was all rigged, particularly after all the problems with voting systems recently.

However, I still feel this was fortunate for Rhydian, he is free to do his own thing and will get many many offers, not tied into a year’s contract. Like many others I wish him all the luck in the world and can’t wait to purchase his first album and I guess it won’t be long before he is in a West End Show. His rendition of Phantom was truly amazing, I saw the original cast with Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman, but Rhydian took my breath away.

What techniques did leon do to win the x factor?

1. planting the suggestion that he is desirable by women, and that girls in hope wanted him.

by having a relationship with x factor finalist hope member emily biggs, and talking about private trips to the toilet, it made him desirable to women, and kept his name as a sex symbol alive.

2. strategically calling the relationship with emily biggs,  off as soon as she was kicked off the show, then denying anthing between the two left the door open for a girl or boy that was dreaming about marrying or dating or something else with mr. jackson. creating a sense of openess and availablity helped.

3. michael buble and the comparisons. as mentioned many times by the x factor fan site.

4. the whole of scotland, voting for leon jackson

5. If you have to choose between leon or rhydian, the vote for an available man cancelled the votes that rhydian had been receiving. girls, boys, adults and everyone were forced to choose 1 man only.

6. music choice. while rhydian went for opera and stage songs, this missed the voting audience in the end, who voted for a singer they could possibly listen to and even buy. so, what I am saying is rhydian’s audience for his style was way to small and segmented. Sure gay people love songs like that, but not young girls.

7. X in the city. If you remember my article where I said x factor was grooming leon jackson for a career in TV after the show, you know that they felt all along that he was the most marketable of the x factor finalists. If he had to come up with things on his own, it would be boring and lifeless, but if he had a script, he could come out with a personality and even make us laugh.

8. CRY CRY CRY.. nobody cried better than Leon… and it worked!

here is what my friend stuart at heckler spray had to say about the crying:

“Leon Jackson cries at everything all the time, and X Factor viewers love it when people cry. And although he’s cried out of nerves and a love for his mother in the past, on yesterday’s X Factor Leon Jackson went the whole hog and actually cried at a homemade pamphlet about Hinduism. Leon Jackson cried about Hinduism. A man with that amount of tears deserves to win everything, right? ”

Do you think Emily and Leon can now resume their relationship, now that he does not need to be unattached to win the x factor? Although he might need to stay single if it helps to sell his music.

How many people have turned off the x factor, and at what point did they stop watching?

The x factor fan site peaked on Saturday, November 3, 2007  (after the live show.)

The following week was half the visitors, and half after that.

Why did the x factor lose visitors to the web site, and people watching at home?

What kept the show the most watched in the UK, and what happened? 

1. Auditioning is the best part of the show, and creates the funnest characters. People loved watchig this part of the show. They love the comments, and harsh treatment of the judges.
2. Before the final 12 are picked, people love the variety of contestants. Even during the x factor boot camp (seX mansion)

3. Sisi Jghalef

a. created excitement

b. was sexy

c. controversial

d. law breaker

e. drug user

f. a good singer

When Sisi Jghalef was forced off the show, half the viewers left. We must also point out that breaking the rules to allow rejects to come back and form groups was unfair to the many groups who were much more promising. This also was a major reason of lost viewers. Even though the x factor fan site tried to keep their names alive, and even requested they send in video’s to promote, it really hurt.

4. Icaro

a. The funnest part of the show every week was unpredictable Icaro

b. Singing and serenading the judges was so much fun to watch

c. Bath Tub stress release - was hilarious

d. Mentor to leon and rhydian

e. The only real personality on the show

f. Phantom of Love was contagious.

When Louis Walsh tried to destroy the show by getting rid of Icaro, he succeeded on many levels. So many people turned the show off, and no longer were entertained by anyone on the show.  No more soul, heart, laughter, personality were left.

5. The Rugby Disaster.

When ITV decided to replace a week of x factor with rugby, many viewers never returned. They found other shows like strictly come dancing or did other things with their time. The cycle had been broken of repeatedly being the most watched TV show in the UK.

Lastly, when I saw the interest in same difference by children, and placed the high school musical song at the top of the web site sung by sarah and sean, and no longer placed rhydian videos at the top, many people left and never returned.

Why I support same difference to win

In my search of x factor web sites, I did not encounter any place besides forums that devoted space to same difference. I tried to create an environment for them, and felt their voting was much stronger than any other finalist. The reason I kept the high school musical video is because that was they turning point that push the button of all teens and children to get behind same difference. They were not only voting for the x factor winner, but they were voting for their love of high school musical. Anyone representing their favourite movie, favourite songs, favourite stars is who they would vote for. Sean and sarah did not upset their fans, and continued by singing everything in a high school musical style.

Simon Cowell is a genius

I applaud their technique and the savvy understanding that simon cowell has for gaining the publics interest. He found the niche of the children, without keeping young contestants. He sucked the young audience in, by allowing young teens on the show and it worked. He is really brilliant. Unfortunately, he could not keep many other people watching.

Tell me what your ideas are, on why people stopped watching the x factor and why people stopped visiting this web site. your comments are most appreciated.
