Honestly, the way the whole of the UK is going on about Britain's Got Talent, you would have thought the world was going to end. Now, I'm contributing to the whole idiocy of it by writing about it, which one could say makes me a hypocrit.
I just don't see the entertainment value of it at all. Does that make me an alien or something? Because I feel that I'm the only one who finds the whole thing cringe making. As far as I can see only a fair few of them really do have talent and I never agree with the judges. Yes, I have tried watching it before I critisise it and all I can do is pick holes in it and make snide comments, which just totally annoys my brother, who likes watching it. If all I can do is say "he's crap, she can't sing to save her life" or "what the Hell was that I just wasted my life watching?" then there is really no point in me watching it. I just can't get any kind of enjoyment out of watching these wannabe celebrities make fools of themselves on national television.
I really like the Royal Variety Performance because they sometimes have a commedian on I might like and I enjoy watching the musical performances that might appear. I must admit I prefer it if a dancer or dance group wins it because I enjoy watching people dance. That is the only good thing I can say about Britain's got Talent. I just hate watching people trying to sing. Ok, so the rest of Britain might think that Susan Boyle has a good voice, but it wasn't to my taste. From the little I saw of this year I really liked the saxaphone player and the dance groups.
Another problem I have with Britain's Got Talent is the question of whether children should be allowed on the show or not. I heard that a little girl broke down under the pressure of the semi final (although I didn't actually see this). Is it fair for parents to put their children under this kind of pressure? But on the other side of the coin as Simon Cowell said "why should we deny children who do have the talent and confidence such an opportunity?" It's certainly a question open for debate. We all have our differences I suppose, I just happen to be in the minority when it comes to liking Britain's Got Talent.






Work's still going well and I managed to finally meet the head teacher properly today. He's great with the students and I've heard so much about him, everyone loves him. Unfortunately he is leaving and everyone is worried about who is going to replace him. I've seen him walking through the office, but he has always been so busy. He was really nice when he shook my hand and asked me if I was enjoying it. It felt as though I was meeting some celebrity! He's a cool guy and I really hope they find someone just as good to replace him.
