Ive followed this competition for the last few weeks, concept is exactly the same as Xfactor and other such shows just a bit more 'underground' and 'cool'.The main reason i followed it was to follow the Scarlet Harlots from Birmingham and one of which is associated with the much loved Bigger Than Barry nights.
The Final saw 2 bands, the Scarlet Harlots, Hip Parade and the solo artist Tommy Reilly go up against each other and the winner decided by the public.
Personally trying to keep an un-biased descision i honestly thought Scarlet Harlots were definatly the better act giving an origional approach to their music, the others, although being very good musicians seemed a bit standard and didnt take much of a chance in their songs.
The Winner was Tommy Reilly who im not sure if he was very bashful in his new record deal with Universal and his £60,000 advance or he was just dopey as he had acted this way throughout the whole competition.
Scarlet Harlots will be performing at chicks dig jerks at the rainbow pub on the 31st and a few other events that follow, I beleive this band can go long way and wish them all the best.
