The wonderful Dailymail.co.uk (my fav site for gossip) has uploaded an interview today with my favourite X Factor judge, Louis Walsh. He is claiming that fellow judges Danni Minogue and Cheryl Cole have turned the show into 'a fashion show' branded them a pair of 'peacocks' because they are constantly reworking their looks. Whilst I love a bit of fashion spotting (like train spotting but more fun), having witnessed Cheryl and Danni try and 'out fashion' one another in Rupert Sanderson, Alexander McQueen and Louis Vuitton creations, I happen to agree.
I guess I just can't comprehend why judging a reality tv show requires such glamourous attire. When Cheryl and Danni turn up for a new day of auditions wearing designer labels, when most of the audience (like me) can't afford them, whilst teetering in heels they can barely walk in that can't even be seen beneath the judging table, it strikes me as absurd. I want to see Cheryl and Danni looking gorgeous but 'real' in flats and a mix of high end and high street fashion. Something a bit more attainable, as Dianah Vickers demonstrated last X Factor wearing Temperly one week and Topshop the next. Plus their fash-offs seem to deflect attention from their judging skills which should be the real issue in scrutiny here. Congratulations on looking fabulous in Matthew Williamson and YSL girls, but what do you really know about music?
This is my fave post so far. Fashion, bitching, X factor, although your taste in x factor judges is slightly offensive (i HATE walsh!) I always liked Diana's style, not many people pull it off that well xx
ReplyDeleteHope they have another Dianah Vicker type contestant this series, she was a babe! Who do you prefer of all the judges? Not Cowell! Neena please help I am thick and can't work out which is your blog so I can have a look at it. What's the URL???
ReplyDeleteha, well I really like Cheryl Cole last year, I thought she was sweet, but I think it has to be the Cowell-machine, I think my love for him has something to do with my hate for Louis!!!
