  1. Listen to this, from beginning to the end and tell me: isn't this one of the most magical things you've ever heard?
  3. I am not a fan of that kind of music. But she sang really good
  4. That was awesome


  5. Then look at those two videos:




    And tell me the same thing and I'll never talk to you again.

    These people could beat the shit out of 95% rock bands.




  6. The first one is Paul Potts, right?
    Awesome stuff Bono wouldn't be able to do that for sure (except for one note during Miss Sarajevo )

    But you know, what amazes me the most are these people...you know they have their lives, they're not professionals, but they're capable of stuff that are outstanding, amazing.

    And that is the reason why Paul Poots or even Bono touches me more with their opera singing then Pavarotti or Placendo Domingo... They're not perfect singers and that's what makes them even greater then professionals I mentioned. When you hear professional, you know, he's just doing another show but when you hear Potts, Bono, Andrew Johnston and that lady from the first post...they're voices of struggle for their lives. Wow.
  8. Britain's Got Talent, X Factor, Pop Idol, call it what you will, it helps Cowell keep his stranglehold on a docile British public, blithely swallowing the shit he feeds them. Seriously, watching crap like that (the talents/abilities of some of the performers is not in doubt, of course) only helps keep most true talent undiscovered.
    Bring out some delusional fools, hype them up (at least to themselves) and then cart them on to a stage for us to point and laugh.
    Take people who ARE gifted and give them piss poor standards to sing.
    Show the public the processes (as if) behind the 'discovery' of the 'stars of tomorrow.' Then sit back and count the cash as they buy the ordure produced.
    Ever wonder how they always 'find' the interesting 'characters' while they wait to audition/perform? The whole thing's a set up, encouraging people to buy shit music/spend a fortune on premium phone lines.

    Here's one you may not know...

    Remember all the furore about Hallelujah being the X Factor winner's single? And all those Facebook/Bebo/MySpace/Whatever campaigns to buy Jeff Buckley's version and get it to number one for Christmas? Almost did, too. Hallelujah, numbers one and two for Christmas. All these groups professing their hate for Cowell and all he's done to the British music scene... The thing is, who do you think owns the British publishing rights to Jeff Buckley's version? That high waistbanded knobend was laughing his arse off...



  9. No truer word spoken. Most of them here (in Australia) are pretty much 'production crap'.

    Now there's something. That first guy you might believe it. The second kid, you wouldn't...and to think he gets bullied for a great talent at such a young age.

    I was bullied at his age.


  11. U were bullied? i've always thought that u were the coolest guy at school or something.


  12. Why did you think that? : ))

    No, at former school I used to be bullied physically because I was fat and always had all the best grades. But I believe that helped me and made me stronger. Things changed in high school and I could say I was quite popular (not that I think that's important at all). Now I'm at college and it's perfect.
