Nice bloke Pete Waterman.What a decent chap he is...

Well,after my disparaging remarks about Pete Waterman and his desire to produce New Order,after watching last night's "Popidols" I have warmed to him immensley.To be honest,I never watch dross like this but it has to be the funniest,cringeworthy prog on tv in ages. The perfomances by the general public,and I use that term lightly,were embarrasing,awful,dire.etc.....How people who sing in the shower expect to be famous by crooning like a dismembered fish is beyond me. I feel this to be cult viewing.Anybody else in the UK see??

Yes,tonights episode was even better.One tuneless fuckwit thought he'd kick the crap out of our Pete,but he stood his ground. You really must watch this.I find it amazing that the tuneless fuckwits get offended when told they can't sing.Then they have a go at Kylie(Minogue),tiny sex goddess that she is.

Do you ever get that feeling Chris, do you, that you are talking to yourself?

Do you think I'm going slightly insane???

Cris-py, you are not alone in your ranting. Me and me bird have watched the Pop Idol show on consecutive days. What a belter of a show indeed. Peter Waterfish has to be (in a perverse way) one of the coolest cucumbers in his own pond. What on god's clean earth was that knob-jockey doing offering Waterfish out for a fight?!!! - me bird was trying to stick up for him for some reason, then as he walked off at the end he did a somersault for no apparent reason and she now sides with the Watercarrier.

Its funny that all of the good looking birds and blokes make it through and the ugly fettlers get told they stink. What about that poor lad who stuttered so much he couldn't even say his first name for about 6 minutes?!!!

The bloke singing 'We are the Champions' was also very funny. The only downside is in 6 weeks time we'll have another 'Hearsay' on our hands

The fact that the boy 'Darius' will be appearing on the next episode is very, very exciting. Will he sing 'Hit me Baby One More Time'?... the anticipation is almost too much to take.

I wonder, if Barney had stood their doing an acapella version of 'Rock the Shithouse' introducing his 'Doing the Corgi' dance routine during the chorus, he would have made it into the next round?.. mmmmmmm. Would've been a real rare treat for us all.

Briggsy that guy was vey funny... I mean, did he really think he was Freddy or what?! - he had a strange eye-close thing going on. Perhaps if he had opened them, and looked in a mirror, he would have killed himself under a passing coach seating the england team.

Are you sure that bloke actually had any eyes?I may have looked away when they appraied his performance, but I never saw any evidence of any viewing devices beside his nose.

Glad to hear I'm not the only sad case who has derived immense pleasure from this dreadfull "Oppotunity Knocks 2001". I bet the guy with the stutter wins.The girl with the tasty Union Jack bra had me going,until she opened her mouth.And as for Darius twat features making a forthcoming appearance,what's the betting he gets selected or rejected??

*hangs head in shame*

Have you guys got nothing better to do?

Well Liv,I could think of a few things,if you know what I mean,;) but I'm afraid I'll probably be censored.

"Those type of people"?????? You mean chronic wankers???!!!! ;)

There's a very similar show to that here in the States, "Your Big Break". It used to be hosted by Kid from Kid 'N Play, now by some fuck-off from Fresh Prince of Bel Air, and it features "normal, everyday people" trying to out-do each other in bad imitations for prize money and, you guessed it, their big break. I caught one where some guy was doing David Bowie. He had me til his voice cracked on "Let's Dance"! Funny stuff, though I'm ashamed to admit I actually watched that crap, but I suppose I can be forgiven.

Is "Popidol" on tonight? Unfortunatley I'll miss it as I'll be watching some moody Mancs on their "Get the bath chair and warm blankets Ready" comeback tour .

Is there such a thing?? They're all bloody frightening !!

That's why I put it in quotes. My theory: No one is really normal, they just fit into certain groups that may or may not be more prominent than others, and anyone who doesn't fit into their group is "abnormal". Anyway, yeah the people are freaking idiots, and you know there's no superstar agents waiting in the audience to discover the next Elvis impersonator. There's enough Whitney Houston wannabes at beauty pageants, why put them on the tele!
