What's wrong with being a reality pop snob? They know the game. If you want credibility, don't play the scumbag cowell game. Tony DeStroi

I love the insurance ad where Ringo Starr puts his fame down to changing his name, and not those hangers-on John, Paul and George. Vince McRaincoat

How amazing is Noisettes' new single? Two weeks in, and we already have one of the singles of the year. Hannelore

Mama Goth Ziners, help us! Who won Tommy Lee's Rockstar on Tuesday? Please tell me it was Diana; she was fantastic! Magni was s*xy, though.

OK, it was Diana. Just don't ever check that, or you'll be disappointed.

To answer Brian, I did indeed get a Go-Betweens album for Christmas, 16 Lovers Lane. Very good it is too. But, unlike Brian, I'm intrigued at the ide of a Lemonheads covers album. Their version of Whitney Houston's How Will I Know is brilliant, and their Mrs Robinson and Luka aren't too shabby either.

An album of original material would be preferable, though. Their self-titled album a couple of years ago rocked with their best. The Doc

As a new Voider, I'm disappointed in some people's attitudes to reality pop contestants. The X Factor is an entertainment show which leeches off controversy and debates among true music fans over its viability. Stop feeding the animals!

Also, after Jude's view that Roisin Murphy and Annie should form a supergroup of underrated pop stars, who else would deserve a place? Maybe Yazz could make a comeback. Uncle Guj

Kitty quandary

So, WLW, if this is your real age, I have a riddle for you. Three cats go inside a pub. One is wearing fishnets, one is wearing a pretty pink bow and the other is completely naked (except for fur- fearless cats are nor pretty). Which of the three is most likely to make it to the top of Everest first? Answer will be revealed next week!

Anyone who can't hear Bon Iver's lyrics on his For Emma, Forever Ago should hear him play at one of his concerts. You will hear every word sung, every chord played and every pin drop. As the crowd are silenced in awe, you will hear every goosebump run down your back and every tear run down your cheek. Awesome. Ollie Holtam

I doubt DJ Gordy is familiar with Diane Warren's work, else he wouldn't have chosen the Star Trek Enterprise theme as a lame example. She also wrote Unbreak My Heart, How Do I Live, Because You Loved Me and I Don't Want To Miss A Thing.

Yes, they're all MOR, but Eurovision isn't about credibility. If we want a song with universal appeal that will hopefully win the judges over, I think Lloyd Webber has made the right choice. ID

3. You'd get bossed around by Papa Smurf. He's so masterful... It sounds like so much fun. I'm off to get a hobby and stop thinking about being a fictional cartoon character.

Maybe iggy pop did the Swift Cover ad because he needs the money. He can't pay his bills merely by sitting around being a icon. He was already bankrupt in the '80s when bowie helped him by releasing their co-written china girl as a single.

Since then, lots of people probably have lust of life on the Trainspotting soundtrack or a compilation but I doubt he or The Stooges actually sell many albums these days. DJ Gordy

I've just witnessed a supposed Channel Four comedy, Plus One, which features a person from Blue. Yet they jail boy george. Vince McRaincoat

My favourite album of 2008 was Clouds With Silver by Lisa Redford. Gorgeous acoustic songs with hints of Americana, and beautifully sung. Produced by Martha Wainwright's husband Brad Albetta, it's had some great reviews. Here Alone is a real "Hairs on the neck" moment. Chris Angelis

Come the day

Janie Dust has been sniping at me this time. She says that I should get my brain in gear before I open my mouth. Well, how superior and what a cliché! I live in total and absolute confidence that one day I'll know what I'm talking about and what I'm doing. When that day comes, Janie would be wise to watch her back.

Let us know when that day comes, will you?
