Idols watch out…

27 Jul

A failed Britain’s Got Talent contestant is suing the show for £2.5million and accused the makers of not putting up clips of her singing ‘beautifully’ on their website.

She has even been quoted as saying ‘I do have the ability to move people. People have cried when they have heard me sing.’ I think maybe you should judge for yourselves…

The former nurse claims the show erred by failing to take into account a medical condition she says affected her performance. She says she suffers from cervical spine neuritis which can affect hearing. Symptoms include head and shoulder pain and and can mean that suffers may not be able to hear their own voice in noisy environments.

Since the whole event took place, she said: ‘My health and wellbeing has been damaged. I have been going downhill quite markedly this year.’ And despite having once built up a reputation as a singer at charity events, she added: ‘Last year I had no phone calls at all.’

Mmmm…after watching that video, I would be interested to hear just how popular she was at charity events…

Brandon Flowers new solo album

22 Jun

In the aftermath of the devastating drop-out of our Mighty Bafana Bafana from the Soccer World Cup, I didn’t think I would be able to find anything that could possibly put a “smile on my dial”…until I spotted these magical words “Brandon Flowers has released a solo album” whilst perusing the interweb.

On the off chance you don’t know who this genius is, Brandon Flowers was the lead singer of one of the greatest bands of our time…The Killers. Remember them? Came here last year, did a concert at Val da Vie…awesome concert spoilt by possibly the worst traffic jam in living memory. Yes, that was The Killers. Anyway, the lead singer has gone and done a solo album and one of the songs…Crossfire…has been leaked to the world.

According to those in the know on the interweb (obviously as trustworthy as the tabloids) this is not the end of the Killers…just a hiatus for the band. They are hopefully going to be recording a new album soon.

Anyway, Listen to it right here on That Blog (Crossfire)

I love it, what do you think of it???
