23: 18 - Reality TV; Singing Contests
Saturday, August 23, 2008

Argh sorry, I know I haven't been posting much, or at all for that matter... There's just been a lot going on like GCSE results and settling a sixth form for 2 weeks' time - all hectic business I can assure you!
That aside; as I was watching TV absent-mindedly today I came accross the X Factor. By the end of the programme I realised amusingly enough that I'd laughed hysterically over more ridiculous 'musical' voices and 'star-quality' characters than I'd actually been impressed by any good voices! And this was a talent competition, again?
See good TV isn't just made of brilliant talent (although that is the obvious aim by the end of the show), but mainly the many arrogant self-deluded personalities that pass our screens for our amusement alone. True, good singers come few and far between nowadays, but I'll bet that you wouldn't be half as entertained by 5 weeks or so of just the good (and mediocre) auditions than you are with these truly... interesting people. And their dance moves, can't forget the dance moves - I saw a church co-ordinator do some right down and dirty choreography today!
In conclusion, if you haven't seen the following video, you haven't lived!
This is definitely the creme de la creme of such programmes.
Thank god for reality TV singing contests. Without it these sorts of talents might never come into the public eye!
PS: that woman's actually got a job in showbusiness now due to that audition. (I'd pay to see if it was singing!)
