X Factor Winner, Women on Top - Part IV
Mini Mariah/Whitney sound-a-likey Leona Lewis has won the X Factor 2006 beating cheeky chappie Liverpudian Ray. In all the madness wish someone would thank the telly host Kate Thornton. She carries the main ITV show week by week all by herself and her consumate professionalism makes it all look so smooth. Simon Cowell looks like the cat that got the cream, both his acts were in the final so he couldn’t lose, probably Christmas No. 1, another cash cow for you Simon? Totally predictably right after Kate announced that the single was available for download, visit the site and get a “Service Unavailable” on the download link. These kind of sites always go down, that initial spike in traffic must be phenomenal as millions pile from TV to computer in a matter of minutes, a few minutes later get through but page minus graphics/low bandwidth version, bet the web devs are frantic right now to get back up to flog the download Update 22:56 and graphical version back Bravo! Well done Leona and Kate and web bods in the dungeons 
Update 23:13: on the post show on ITV2 Simon Cowell’s in the studio and just said “it’s the fastest download of all time - twenty thousand in five minutes”. £1.50 a throw, wow, if it kept up that astounding selling rate for a day it would be bringing in over 8.5million quid in sales, and that’s with no iTunes in sight.
