Not long now kids. Soon you’ll be able to smash down the door of your local record shop to buy the sound of the X Factor winner destroying Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah.
So who will be the next person to launch a singing career that will make some industry types richer? We’ve already had a look at how JLS will fare, but today we take a look at one of the more colourful characters of the show.
Here’s the X Factor recap for Eoghan Quigg.
Apparently he’s actually called Owen, even though his name looks like it could be pronounced ‘Ego Han’ ‘Eggnog’ or ‘Eeeeeeeeeeeeee Og Han!’ Just to have an exclamation mark in his name would have made him automatically cool in our book. However, we’ll put his funny name down to the fact he’s Irish and because whoever wrote his name on the birth certificate was probably drunk on Guinness.
Even though X Factor hasn’t finished, the young Irish scamp has already caused all sorts of problems for people. Diana Vickers – aka the limp-wristed blonde – has reportedly split up from her boyfriend of eight months so she can be with Egohan. Maybe it was his leprechaun style that took her fancy. Whatever the case, if Eoghan doesn’t win we’re sure some magazine will pay megabucks for the exclusive love story involving the two.
For someone his age, Eoghan does have a remarkable voice and we’re glad he’s out making grannies happy instead of collecting ASBOs with his friends. Sadly he hasn’t got any sort of original sob story and is actually copying the crying boy tactic of last year’s winner Leon Jackson. Whenever he could, Leon Jackson turned on the tears and forced people to vote him as the winner. Good thing we did pick him, or else he’d still be crying now and the country would be under 60ft of salty man-water.
But will Eoghan win? Because he decided to cry when his friend and supposed lover Diana got voted out, most people probably lost a bit of respect for him. Jesus, one of you was going to be booted off the show at some point. That’s unless Simon Cowell had plans to fuse the pair together to make sort of crying hand monster that only eats bats.
Tomorrow, the X Factor final countdown recap for the probable winner, Alexandra Burke.

Eoghan Quigg is not a name, it is a noise you make when you’re being sick.
Put kindly, his face can be described as intruiging. It looks like he’s had a bad reaction to a wasp sting.
The Irish are no friends of the letter H. Any consonant followed by H is not pronounced, as a punishment. Sometimes H appears at the start of a noun but the following letter is capitalised instead.
This bitter dislike originated when the Irish were confined in prisons called “H blocks”.
He looks like someone drew a face on a tree stump, hit it with a chain for a week, smeared it with cheap butter then threw a wig on it.
Surely the shape of his head doesn’t actually follow his hairline?
He is rubbish. Always seems to have backing singers and plays up to his ‘high school musical’ fans. Louis Walsh seems to like him just because he is irish. Ireland will probably make him the winner because he’s irish too
At least he’s better than boring overrated Leona clone Alex.
Heyheyhey, tats hursh!!
Leon Jackson won coz ppl lyk him!!
(compared 2 opera singer Rydian)
