So let me just move from sitting the room where my housemate is watching Saturday's Strictly Come Dancing (which I am not following this year on no, and I refused to be sucked back in). Although I will marvel over the wonder that is Brian Fortuna’s salsa routine.

Okay, so now I’m resettled away from the Brucie’s bad puns and an excess of skin ( Read more... )

I have been psyching myself up all day, well I would have been if I hadn’t been quite so busy with work, for the inevitability that I was going to have to review Kris’s performances while pretending that my soul wasn’t dying in the knowledge that this was my last week with him. I was all ready to prepare myself for the prospect of having to review ( Read more... )

So I’ve slept on it, I’ve tried to organise my thoughts and am I any less angry than I was yesterday? Not at all, in fact, I’m almost more angry. Instead of calming down I have been stewing over it. So I figure I’m just going to attempt to not reach too far into the ball of vilification that has been growing in my stomach (and on the comms) and if ( Read more... )

Well I did it. I made it to the performances this week without reading any spoilers about how the performances went or even the song choices and it was, without a doubt, the best thing I could have done. For the first time in weeks I sat and watched the show genuinely excited to see what the contestants would pull out. And bloody hell was I not ( Read more... )

Wow!!! This was not what I had been expecting from Disco Week. You may remember that I was a little…..well…..disheartened last week after the abysmal crimes perpetrated against the human ability to choose in the name of Movie Song Week. And in my mind I had already drawn up the equation.

( However what we actually got... )

So with a month to go before the final I’ve been thinking about who might be able to win this competition and why. I’m going to go through the contestants one by one to explain what I’m thinking. I’m starting with the people I think have the least chance to get to the final and working my way down. The bottom 4 are less definite and more muddled up ( Read more... )

OK, so yesterday I was annoyed at the drivel we were being asked to consume this week so I might have been a little harsh on poor Anoop. What I didn’t mention, and I really should have, is that it was probably one of his best vocals. Which, as much as I find him one of the two least interesting contestants left, I really shouldn’t have missed/ ( Read more... )

Well I’m a little later with this than I’d have liked to have been but I am surrounded to the gills with essays if I had gills on my forehead. But it is nice to write something that doesn’t require quite as much…well…thought. No that’s not right, because I definitely over think this but…well…they’re my thoughts and not ones that need backing up ( Read more... )

There’s no way that I could have gone into tonight’s American Idol without some sense of trepidation. I mean, all over the internet has been reports of how it was the worst week so far. So when I say that I started watching while not actually looking forward to it for the first time this season I think it’s pretty clear why. But I was pleasantly ( Read more... )

Well it’s half a day, and a whole lot less work than I would have like, later but on this Friday afternoon (which it was when I started writing this before dinner) after watching the World Skating Championships Men’s being won by Evan Lysacek there is no chance I’m going to get back to doing anything useful. So I shall do this instead :-).
