Poptimists Poll 2008: Lifetime Achievement Award

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

This is the last category we're polling - please please PLEASE take the time to send your Top 10 Tracks to leagueofpop@gmail.com though! Deadline on that is the start of next year.

This category has been won in the last two years by DEAD DUDES - James Brown and Tony Wilson. This year as far as I know no deaders were nominated so you get to cast your THREE votes across a wider range.

'Give It 2 Me' was SO AWFUL that I cannot bring myself to tick Madge, so Mariah and Britney are joined by a third GHOST TICK for Simon Cowell, because I predict there will be no X Factor in 2009 (at least in its current form).

Aren't they already advertising for the auditions?

Doesn't mean they're going to use them! I think they're going to do something different with it at the very least. I was watching Cowell's face during Alex's victory dance and he seemed like he'd had enough - plus a few comments he made sounded rather... final.

I've heard he wants to stay behind the scenes, so perhaps the rumours of a new male judge (my bet's on Gary Barlow) is actually to replace him and not Dannii as some have said. I'm sure there will be another X Factor, as this year seems to have been one of the most successful in terms of the buzz around it, although that was mainly cos of Cheryl's arrival.
