Y Factor

 
Five people entered the local talent contest, which resembled the TV hit the X factor, however their contest was called the Y factor and why indeed! Their talent was of a very dubious quality. Unfortunately, Simon Cowell was not available to give judgement.

What was each person's stage name, who was their idol and what position in the competition did they achieve?

Positions: 1st to 5th

Stage name Idol Position


 
Maisie Space warbled away, but not like any song bird, in front of the audience and was applauded rather ungraciously after tripping off the stage, she certainly wasn't 1st, she actually finished 1 position behind the person, whose idol is Mick Hucknell, this isn't Feisty.

The contestant, who tried playing guitar with his teeth, idolised Jimi Hendrix, this is not Ed, but they came 1 place behind Feisty, whose singing rather resembled a parrot that hadn't quite mastered our language and certainly couldn't carry a tune, her idol isn't Eminem.

Jim Safeway came in midway at 3rd place; his idol's name began with a vowel.

Harry Bow finished 3 places ahead of the contestant that idolised Britney Spears.

Who idolized Avril Lavigne?
