OMG, what a sorry show of morbidly bad karaoke singers it was last night!  The soldier at the end was just a glorified karaoke singer and I could not fathom why the audience cheered.  He was NOT great.  I have heard better singers - much better - at my local Rose and Crown, and FFS, will Kelly QUIT being 'moved to tears' at every effing performance where somebody actually makes it to the end of the damn song?!  The blonde at the end, like many of them on there, just shouted all the way through the song!  But of course they gushed over her, because she managed to 'sing' without crying or saying with a quivering lip,'can I start again please?'

And I am sick and tired of people coming on all 'nervous;' so much so that they can barely get their bloody words out.  If they are calling themselves a singer, and they can't walk onto a stage without stammering and shaking and crying, they should NOT be in that business.  Do you think Madonna or Britney Spears or Elvis or Mariah Carey or John Lennon or ANY established/very famous singer like them, ever did THAT in the early stages of their career?  Of course they didn't!  They would have been booed off stage.  There is a LOT more to being a singer and a performer, than singing along to bloody Lady gaga in your bedroom!  And alomst EVERYONE who comes on X Factor is not up to standard.. well the ones they show us anyway!!!  If the idea is to show the rubbish ones more, for 'entertainment' value, then that is pathetic and it needs to stop, because it's becoming ludicrous now.

X Factor consists largely of a mish mash of people who are nervous as hell and SHIT, or really overly confident and cocky and SHIT.  It's riddled with sob stories, which piss me off, and loads of them say 'this is all I ever wanted to do, this is my whole life...' (YAWNERS!)which is a pity because they are almost all crap.   And yes I still watch it LOL.  But it's because it's a show I have got used to watching over the years and I WANT it to improve!   But I am getting very tempted to stop, because it's really getting on my rack now.  I actually felt ANNOYED watching it this past 2 nights: especially last night...  Contrived, predictable bullshit.

ARGH! 

Sorry I need that rant!
