AS THE race for the Christmas No.1 kicks off, X Factor winner Matt Cardle is the hot favourite to scoop the top spot.
It's obvious to anyone who owns ears that rival finalist Rebecca Ferguson was robbed.
If it was a competition based on pure talent then the 24-year- old mum-of-two from Liverpool would have sent Matt packing. He'd have been pulling on his painter/decorator overalls again and offering to do up Simon Cowell's latest London pad for a discountin a flash.
I think Rebecca lost because she lacked the raunch factor.
It's deeply depressing that in 2010 there are such double standards on Britain's most popular television programme.
Shabby Matt romped home despite spending the majority of the contest in a dodgy hat and taking to the stage in the final with the most lurid luminous yellow trousers imaginable.
And the message was loud and clear to young women everywhere: To stand a chance of making it as a female pop star in today's world, you have to take your clothes off.
No wonder the show inspired a flood of complaints from viewers to telly watchdog Ofcom. Platinum-selling singing sensation Christina Aguilera burst on to our screens wearing virtually nothing during the X Factor final. Dressed in a black, low-cut dress,she turned heads with a racy routine that was entirely inappropriate pre- watershed.
As Christina cavorted with her backing dancers in G-strings to promote her new film Burlesque, married men all over the country quietly choked on their beers baffled that soft porn had just entered their living rooms.
I was hugely relieved that my six-year-old daughter was already tucked up in bed. But many more girls who rate the X Factor as their favourite show would have witnessed it.
It's even more incredible that the show was repeated at 9.30am on Sunday morning. Multi-million-pound selling female artist Rihanna, who sang with X Factor winner Matt, didn't do a lot for feminism either.
The 22-year-old Umbrella singer stripped down to a pair of knickers, fish-net tights and a bra as she gyrated on stage.
Her dramatic striptease revealed the most startlingly beautiful pair of toned thighs but what was that really Her dramatic striptease revealed the most startlingly beautiful pair of toned thighs but what was that really saying about her new hit What's MyName?
Robbie Williams, on the other hand, strolled on to stage looking effortlessly cool in jeans.
Dirrty singer Aguilera and Rihanna should take some tips from a true diva, Aretha Franklin. The 68-year-old queen of soul, who sadly revealed that she is Dirrty singer Aguilera and Rihanna should take some tips from a true diva, Aretha Franklin. The68-year-old queen of soul, who sadly revealed that she is fighting pancreatic cancer, has won 20 Grammys, had 20 No.1 hits and was the first female to be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.
A music legend, her song RESPECT became an anthem for wronged women everywhere.
And in my book, respect starts with keeping your clothes on.
