View Full Version : Britains got... sympathy.
I'm sorry, I'm not usually the type to watch the X-Skating with wannabe's get them off my telly type of "talent" shows. But it was just on the TV whilst I was getting ready for work.
On walks a guy who, fair play, had the courage to stand up in front of so many & look like a complete nerd (and I say that in the nicest possible way due to being a geek myself).
He starts recounting poetry, quite obviously written by himself. But his delivery seriously bored me to death. Writing he's good at, performing, certainly not.
His poetry was just a sob story about his life really - I'd wager a fair amount was actually made up too.
Part way through, I commented that he was playing for the sympathy vote.
Guess what, he got a standing ovation & all 3 of the panel voted him through to the next stage.
I'm sorry, wasn't that programme supposed to be looking for some sort of talent?
Anyway, I'll get off the soap box & get to work...

Dancers, singers, they annoy me as well, how many dancers and group dancers go through? millions! (ok theres the odd dancers i think yea actually their good like the blokes that dressed up and put celeb face masks on) singers, go on the x factor thats what its for :mad:
