[Chairman Meow]

Anyone watching?

 

[Geri]

Yep!

 

[strung out]

not as good since they started doing auditions in front of an audience

this girl is good though

 

[Chairman Meow]

Wow, she's great!

 

[madzone]

The crying's started already

 

[Geri]

She gave me the shiver when she opened her mouth, which is always good.

I'm fairly convinced she was singing through a pitch corrector.

That, or she's grown up listening to a lot of modern pop and thinks that odd metallic sounding twang on certain notes (autotune) is how singing is meant to sound.

A bit odd really.

 

[madzone]

Would that be allowed?

i did think that tbh, even though i thought she was good.

 

[Geri]

I thought she sounded like Cher, but not in a bad way.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Would that be allowed?

You honestly think this is a fair and even playing field?

 

[softybabe]

Shut up Geri! oh dear

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

I thought she sounded like Cher

Singing "Believe" by any chance?

 

[Steel Icarus]

I think I'm in love. Gamu was really good.

Love her speaking voice, too, Zimbabwean with a real Glasgow twang.

 

[madzone]

Why do I watch this?

Well I don't know, do I? Seems like cheating to me but there you go.

 

[softybabe]

Why do I watch this?

To poke fun at some idiots who think they can sing...entertainment factor innit!

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Think through the format of the show. Do the maths. Work out if the voting public actually has any say in what happens.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Oooooh, these guys are brilliantly bad

 

[softybabe]

Oooooh, these guys are brilliantly bad

oh dear oh dear!!! 'how was it?' LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[moomoo]

Lol at the stunned silence!!!

 

[Steel Icarus]

Lol at the stunned silence!!!

Was expecting the sound of spooky wind, like used to happen when Vic told a joke on Shooting Stars.

 

[softybabe]

someone pls release her from this torture!!! Have mercy!!!

 

[Steel Icarus]

There's definitely auto-tune involved here. No need.

I have to point out I'm not watching this, but the missus is.

 

[Geri]

I'm lost for words.

 

[Steel Icarus]

I'm lost for words.

Here are some:

Shite, awful, cacophonous, ego-maniacal.

 

[moomoo]

Oh lordy!!!

 

[moomoo]

We had to pause it to do an impromptu rendition of Any Dream Will Do. Think I might fast forward a bit...

 

[softybabe]

I need releasing......

 

[strung out]

good on her
