I would've loved to see the shot that nearly landed right in the singer's mouth, that's such a horrible thought! Though surely if the naughty pigeons were loitering in the rafters, surely they could've just stood on different parts of the stage and avoided the onslaught of their avarian critics?

Given the success of pigeons in getting shot of Kings of Leon, does anyone else fancy trying to smuggle a load of pigeons into the X-Factor audience?

@ Film One - I KNOW!!! Either that, or as Willow says, get a bloody canopy up! WTF? Ann x

PS: Re your X-factor idea: you bring the pigeons, I'll bring the bird feed injected with super-strong laxatives....

It'd be awesome to unleash them either:

a) when they do the inevitable key-change at the end of the song and go for "the high note".

b) when they're doing the inevitable sob-story (e.g. my dad died when I was four because grandad had a heart-attack at the wheel of the family steam-roller and ran him over).

I know!!! That's what I tell people when they say to me I should go on X-Factor - I say, 'I couldn't possibly, I had a really happy childhood, neither of my parents are dead and no-one in my family has a terminal or uncurable illness.' I am therefore vastly under qualified for the show!

And yes, the key change bit does grind my gears somewhat too! :-)

You have to feel sorry for them, though. Have you read Ben Elton's 'Chart Throb'? The book suggests that all the researchers on shows like that spend ages telling the really pants contestants how amazing they are, just so their reactions when they get booted off are even more intense. Reality TV is a horrible industry, I really hate it.

I can't stand reality TV talent shows. I get the whole "you should go on x-factor" line all the time myself, all the more unusual as I'm not a singer, I'm a SYNTH PLAYER! Admittedly if they ever had a Jean Michel Jarre week, all the boy-band and diva wannabes would be screwed.....

The Stunners bless them, they look like they were airlifted out of a day-care centre by Cowell and his execs and they gave them the name for comedy value. Still, stick a bit of auto-tune on there and they'd be just as good as the rest of the garbage pedalled by "the man in the high trousers".

@ Film One - Cool! Would love to see you stick it to 'em on X-Factor with Jean Michel Jarre! Kick-ass! :-)

Re the Stunners - yep, I agree with you, mate, put the vocal through a studio 'tidy up' programme and it would be just as good as the rest of the usual dross... The poor things, though, they were clearly more nervous than their bravado (or perhaps the edit?) made them seem!

I can't imagine performing "Don't Stop Believin'" on the laser-harp would go down too well though!
