Sad but somewhat unsuprising.
She may be a consummate professional in this business but am I alone in finding her unappealing? The antithesis of erotic, plastic yet wooden, it wasn't a shock to hear she was going to be on X Factor with all the other cabaret wanna-be's. Ambition when coupled with genuine talent (displayed by proper stars) is to be admired, the kind of amition shown by Ms Thorne and far too many other charisma-free muppets is just sad... The ability to merely carry a tune should not mean you can be a pop star, these people have no real talent and are too busy chasing the fame to master anything. Cowell uses them up and spits them out, and as much as I hate the crap he signs up (all of it) he gives the idiot public what they want - he knows the public are stupid, he knows the records he makes are crap, and it's clear to me what disregard he shows to the minnions that are lining his pockets buying the latest MOR dirge put out by the latest winner of one these shows - and in that respect he has it spot on.
