Sorry EVM, but lively debate continues on this topic - I see one of our members commented here on Ronan Collins decision to play Buckley, not Burke.

Feck X Factor. What about K factor?

Kila's Christmas gig is on next Sunday and I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

Terrific gig. Sorry you all missed it.

The energy was incredible - pity the fools who bought seats rather than standing space and couldn't dance.

Still bouncing, Kate P ?

Yep.

Might even offer you some competition in the MN Bouncing Queen Stakes (for a short while at least!)

Oooh! I call a bounce-off!!!

I can't help laughing at the comedy of people who decided that they did not like the Burke version of Hallejuh and decided to download the Buckley and Cohen versions to to make a statement against Simon Cowell. For guess who owns the rights to the Buckley and Cohen versions? Why Simon Cowell of course!!!

So people who thought they were hitting Cowell in his pocket by not buying Alexandra's version, ended up giving Cowell THREE hits in the charts instead of one.

Oh the irony.

I didn't know that - now I'm even more depressed.

Luckily, I haven't downloaded any version - I bought Grace when it came out. Please don't tell me Cowell's malign influence extends to that also.

He has even contaminated the good name of Marmite
