It’s quite different from X-Factor or American Idol, principally because it appears to feature people and groups with talent, rather than a parade of idiot wannabes.

But there’s a glaring, glaring issue with the device. Have a read: Hi Ewan, I am looking for some advice. I recently [...]
O2′s deal with LiveNation/AMG shows they’re serious about live music
“It’s all very well for folk in London”, I thought, as I walked through the O2 Dome the other day, “But if you’re sat in Hartlepool, there’s not much value to be got from being an O2 customer.” The multi-year sponsorship of the Millenium Dome is rather nifty.
