the horror, the horror
Oct. 11th, 2010 10:45 pmMy reaction to the whole X-Factor bullshit is to play this 'highlight' of the 1970's:
Galaxy of stars?!?! when he said Les Dawson I thought he was being sarcastic, sadly when he went onto Peters and Lee, Lena Zaveroni, Pam Ayres, Little and Large etc the realisation came crashing down he was serious. AAARGH! THE HORROR, THE HORROR.
Hughie Green was a nasty little shit, as demonstrated by the Radio Trent 'interview' below and the fact he dropped the father of Paula Yates in it to get rid of him, even though he'd actually cuckolded him and fathered Paula. Nice. I'll spare you his Thatcherite anti-worker musical rant 'Stand Up & Be Counted' about the 1970's which should go side by side with the Sex Pistols...and would lose as it's exactly the sort of pro-authority crap they were kicking the shit out of. Well the strange b-side 'Land of Hope and Glory' said 'For god's sake Britain Wake Up!' - it did shortly after, but not as he planned....
Anyway New Faces was no better, harsher X-Factor to Opportunity Knocks 'Britain's Got Talent' but really...nothing has changed, auto-generated lazy pre-programmed pap for the masses, cynical 'let them entertain themselves and create false hope through building up C-List stars just like them'. I won't even go into Stars in their bleeding Eyes, or New Faces 8x et al *puke*. No wonder people striked and rioted if this is what was on their screen.
Why not now?
