i hoped telling you all this that i would open a debate.
firstly, i agree that pop idol is at heart a malicious show.
i do however take a small amount of joy in watching the talentless fools put themselves up for ridicule in front of millions.
many people say it's cruel. how would they know if they don't watch it?
people say none of the contestants are talented. again, how would they know?
will young is as good a vocalist as i have heard in many a year. and he has the added bonus of his voice ACTUALLY being distinctive and not just sounding like dean martin or sinatra or whoever.
i don't think he's the bees knees or that he's the most talented guy on the planet but i think he desrves to have the 'pop idol' rod taken from his back.
as for all the pop stars who berate pop idol , what a bunch of jealous tossers. so many of them would have jumped at the chance of a contract had the medium been around at the time.
i got 2 tickets for £150 - a lot of money. NOT POCKET MONEY you note. adults like will young, adults buy his records, adults buy the tickets.
oh and my missus just bought me a breitling so i thought i'd do something for her.
