Like Emeli Sandé?

The number of different places that claimed Emeli Sande when she first hit it big, they must have thought she was an oil field

Watched two videos of incredibly talented North Easterners tonight.

The first one is a 14 year old lass from Hesleden, County Durham, who came 6th in America's Got Talent.
British teen finishes sixth in America's Got Talent

The second's a 21 year old lad from Billingham who even reduced Cowell to tears on an X Factor audition!

I'm not into talent shows but thought these two were brilliant.

Hopefully neither video has been posted before.

if cowell is in tears its cos he can see the pound signs

he does have a great voice mind but sums the show up as he's got nowhere

Canny article in the Guardian a few days ago;

Nadine Shah: ‘My personal life was so awful I wanted to escape’

The old fella at the end of the bar in the Jolly Sailor is ex Sunderland director Ted Evans.
