Stick to the real news please, not the trivia!

I very rarely read the newspapers any more and I never watch the news because it’s so depressing and miserable . If I need to know what’s going on I can rely on the internet. But for some reason, on Monday night I actually found myself watching one of the news channels at 10.00pm. Monday had been a grim day as we had all heard about the ‘dissapearance’ of the Air France flight from Rio de Janerio to Paris and feared the worst. There was also the ‘mysterious’ death of a couple and their five year old son at Beachy Head, an infamous suicide spot.

The news opened with the headline story, the Air France flight, a tragic but newsworthy story. This was followed by, you would think the tragedy at Beachy Head, but NO, the next story was all about Susan F**king Boyle and her admission to the Priory Clinic following her breakdown. I for one don’t care about Susan Boyle’s breakdown but I do care about people who have real problems like the loss of their loved ones. The Beachy Head story received a small mention in the second half of the program.

I remember when news programs were about news but now they seem little more than extensions of the ‘reality TV’ craze that is sweeping our nation. I have nothing against reality TV and watched Britain’s Got Talent (although I must bee the only person in the world who hasn’t watched Susan Boyle), but they are entertainment programs and don’t parade themselves as anything else. News at Ten was once ITV’s flagship program dealing in real news stories but it is now watered down and largely irrelevant. Come on guys, stick to the news and leave the entertainment to someone else.

Britain does have talent but it’s not Susan Boyle

What a huge relief, Susan Boyle didn’t win Britains Got Talent! Last Thursdays show proved that the great British public finally came to their senses and realised that Susan Boyle is nothing more than an average singer who had only got to the finals because Simon Cowell, the judges and the rest of the UK had sniggered when she first walked on the stage, and we then all felt sorry for her. But let’s not forget the show is about talent, not sympathy and although Ms Boyle clearly does have some talent, she really did not derserve her place in the final.

Piers Morgan said she is a global superstar. She is not, she is nothing more than an average woman with a great sob story while a superstar is someone like Shirley Bassey, Frank Sinatra or Madonna.

On the other hand, dance troupe Diversity who beat Susan Boyle into second place to win the worlds biggest talent show, thoroughly deserved their victory.
The ten-strong dance troupe from Essex and London worked incredibly hard throughout the competition and continually amazed and impressed at every stage. Their routines were original and flawless, but more importantly TALENTED!

Diversity’s choreographer Ashley Banjo was blown away by the result, told Ant and Dec, “When you said our name I thought I was dreaming. Everyone who has voted – you have changed our lives”.
The group have only been together since 2007 but with members aged 12-25 they blew the judges away with their incomparable ‘transformer’ dance routine.
Earlier this evening, Simon told them, “This is the only performance of the night, if we were giving marks, I would have given a ten. It was sheer and utter perfection.”

The group claimed the first prize cheque of £100,000 and will now go on to perform at the Royal Variety Show in front of the Queen. Well done lads, thoroughly deserved.

Susan Boyle VS Megan Fox Naked

What the hell is wrong with you people?

Susan Boyle, never heard of her up until a few weeks ago. Not exactly a looker, maybe a really nice person and OK so she can sing but for christs sake, 150 million hits on you tube. Compare that with a video of the absolutely gorgeous Megan Fox and she gets a paltry 1.5 million views.  Now I don’t know what floats your boat but I know what I would rather look at. Maybe Megan doesn’t sing but does that really matter? You people really do need to get a life!
