Ive just been reading an article on msn that suggests it is and to be honest it does look a bit fishy.

It suggests that Simon Cowell's voice coaches were grooming Leona BEFORE the auditions.

It also says there is footage of Eton Road and Ray rehearsing together that suggests he was originally in the band and that the band was manufactured.

Also this clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVq_g9NyQUM would suggest that Simon Cowell has known Anthony Hannah (the spooky one in Eton Road) for at least 3 years.

I think my dreams of one day being "discovered" have just been shattered :-(

It will be a fix if Leona doesnt win it Smiley

I agree totally but does it not scream of a set-up if she was being coached BEFORE the auditions?

She's been trying to make it as a singer for years and dont people get voice coached to help them do that?

Nothing wrong with a rookie singer getting coached IMO

Yes... but it was Simon Cowells voice coaches who were helping her.

Eh?

I am confused how can the show be fixed? I don't watch it but my understanding is its a reality show (tosh) where they choose a singer to give a contract too.

Is that right?

rather than a fix, i think it is set up to give a certain performer the best chance to win whetehr down to coaching or fashion etc, but utlimately down to the viewers/voters.

Surely that's the point of the show though

Yes I think perhaps this is a better way of putting it.

The point I am trying to make Flushy is that we are led to believe that all the contestants are your average Joe Bloggs who have just walked in off the streets...this is obviously not the case.
