I am not sure that not believing in sex before marriage is actually the worst thing anyone can say about you!  If that is your belief then that is personal to you.  There are always people who will come out of the woodwork and want to make a quick buck through some tenuous link to somebody famous.

 

Fact is Rhydian should have won but very often it is not the most talented that wins - Leon wasn't even the second, third or fourth most talented - but was voted on by the teeny bopper brigade.  Then after that first record he will never be heard of again.  Rhydian will not be promoted yet otherwise it negates the idea of there being a "winner" who will then get a £1million contract.

 

My feeling is that Clay Aiken was the most talented ever and he still has a thriving career which eclipses that of that year's winner Reuben Studdart.  His contract is with Simon Cowell's company - BUT he came second.

 

I am trying to watch and just think who is it that has it all.  David Archuleta is cute and had a wonderful voice but his youth means that though he puts the emotion into his voice he doesn't really FEEL it because otherwise he would not beam the moment he finished the song.  So David Cook still gets my vote.

 

Oh and I would be pouting off screen if I had just lost out in a competition.  You  have to be a good loser but only when you KNOW people are looking.  It is heartbreaking to lose.
