So I was in Australia last week and I found myself watching their version of X-Factor.
Believe it or not, I’d never seen an episode of the show – in the UK, US or Australia – and while that alone is probably one of the best reasons to live in Asia, I was kind of interested to see what it was all about.
Well, as you all know – it was absolute pants – but what I found fascinating were the ‘guest artists’ the Australian producers decided were the best choices to represent what the show is all about.
In order.
1. Michael Bolton.
2. Ricki-Lee Coulter.
3. Susan Boyle.
WHAT. THE. FUCK!
An out-of-date singing embarrassment … a current day, only-known-in-Australia, singing embarrassment and a star who might owe more of her success to people’s guilt than singing talent.
Yep, that show is really going to give singers a platform of credibility to leap off.
To their death.
