So Will Young has won

Posted February 10, 2002 12:50 AM.

So Will Young has won Pop Idol. I have to confess that I'm surprised. Delighted but surprised. He's certainly the most likely to be the long-term prospect, he's clearly talented and he's obviously intelligent. But did anyone really expect the British public to go with the most serious contender rather than a young piece of fluff? One final point... I'm not saying anything, but could I just point out that I haven't read a single interview with Will Young that didn't describe his previous lust-objects as 'someone', 'them', 'an ex' and so forth. If someone could find me some more interviews with the young winner of Pop Idol, then I'd very much appreciate it....
