X Factor

Every year, a new set of hopefuls battle it out to be crowned the winner of X Factor. The auditions see people that can sang and then there are the ones that leave you wondering ‘are they for real?’
Is it me or is this year even more sob story ridden. Everyone has one, whether it be their wife/mother/father/granddad/great aunt *delete as appropriate* died and this is what they would want, or they came from a poor background/never accomplished anything etc. STOP. IT. Get over it, there are things that happen in everyone’s life. My main wonder was, how is it that Alexandra claimed she shares a single bed with her sister in north London when my girl was rocking outfits that weren’t sold in Primark. What. A. Lie. And then she had a Blackberry to ring her family and tell them she was through. Priorities first, phone or bed? I like her, but low the sob story.

So Sunday night I tuned in to see who was making it to the next stage. There was one girl who I really think should have got through, Suzie. The reason I say this is because she could sing, the guy with the wife that unfortunately died didn’t deserve to get through neither did the Spanish lady. How many times can singing in Spanish impress you? Oh and 26? I need to see some ID love, cos she looks like she is pushing much closer to 30.

I just don’t understand some decisions, I just really don’t……but back to work now.

Gossip Girl

This is going to be a change from my usual type of blog…not that there is one.
But I love Gossip Girl, it rocks. I don’t think any other TV programme has got me this excited…except for Making The Band, ANTM, Prison Break, Real World, One Tree Hill…okay well this is different!
Gossip Girl just goes to show you don’t need to be on the west coast to have a glamorous show. Forget the OC, Gossip Girl is where it’s at.
Imagine walking down the Upper Eastside and being in GG’s radar. Imagine going to a high school where everyone gets a text update on the latest goss. Where the ins and outs of going to an American high school could be so interested.

You know you love me XOXO
