The lovely Brenda Edwards has been voted out of the X-Factor, an incident being referred to by some sources as a "shock result." Why this is shocking, I don't know, because as extraordinary as this woman's vocal talent is (and it is pretty extraordinary), she is still a woman, and everyone knows that the boys do best because a) it's mostly women who vote, b) women vote for men, and c) men who vote vote for men, because boys are better at sticking together.
This means that self-righteous brothers Journey South, Andy and Shayne are in next week's grand final.
"I wouldn't change a thing for the world," said Brenda of the result. "I've had an amazing experience and I just hope that it's not over for Brenda quite yet." There was quite a lot of crying, though. Louis Walsh looked tearful, and even Simon Cowell looked shocked.
Okay, that self-righteous crack was mean. They're not. I just wanted to say it.
