It's the very nature of pop music, surely? One hit wonders have been with us longtime.


And X Factor is our fault: us, the mighty collective 'we'. People watch it in their millions, in the same way that they read Heat and Grazia and the News of the World, and yes, even Popbitch (I think I'm so special!)


It's part of disposable celebrity culture. I don't blame the people who want to make a living out of it. Why the hell shouldn't they, if it's there for the taking? I blame (if that's the right word) the people who feed the beast, the people at home who tune in, who ooh and aah over Ashley's latest infidelities, and Cheryl's latest hair extensions.


They wouldn't give it to us if we didn't lap it up.

Ah yes ? do we blame the junkie or the pusher?


Always had one-hit wonders yes, I just don?t remember so many people debating their merits (and paying premium rate phone lines every week to do it! In a recession no less) In fact there is a long history of people groaning about shit one hit wonders. But I do it now and I?m a snob?


You managed to sound quite snobby yourself there btw ? only about millions of people rather than a TV show

Heh, touch? mon ami.


I am quite snobby about many things: the correct way to pronounce bruschetta, Dan Brown novels, misplaced chardonnay snobbery ("hate chardonnay, but I do love a nice glass of Chablis" - I snob the snobs), and yes, Heat / Grazia are right up there on my hit list.


Yet somehow the show manages to suck me in...

Narnia, not quite sure if you're being sarcastic or not.


TT talentless, non!


They are vocally sound, they write their own stuff and their concerts are flawless. I wasn't a huge fan the first time around, however have grown to love them.


RosieH, I never understood, back in 1995, why all the slightly 'older' women were screaming for Howard. Now, 15 years later, I totally get it.

    • I went last week and would recommend. I was very happy to see pricing based on hair length and especially a fringe trim price. I live nearby and don’t need it fully styled / blown out after a cut (curly so usually prefer to do it myself) so I like that it is variable pricing in that way. 
    • Memes top of lordship haircut shampoo blow dry about £25  dulwich barbers hair cut about£22  jazzes haircut about £26 
    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.
