I get some grief for my non snobbish attitude to Britain's got talent, X Factor and American Idol. Last week I was happily watching Britain's GT when this little lady who hadn't been kissed before and lives in a wee Scottish village (Ewemon's neighbour?)appeared. The cynics on the panel and in the audience including myself thought she was going to be awful................. F*** me gently did she raise the house with her beautiful voice singing something from Les Miserables. The place was on its feet and there were many an open mouth disbelieving what they were hearing and watching. I was off the couch whoopin' and a hollerin'. Since last weeks episode she has been feted from everyone from Larry King to Oprah and Piers Morgan has offered to take her for a romantic meal so she can get rid of the kissing 'duck'............ poor woman. The video from the programme has had more than 27 million hits on you tube and ITV's site.

Watch, listen and be astounded here

It's entertainment, pure and simple. Dad's Army was funny and that was scripted - not just some army blokes milling about having a larf. Of course Cowell et al know who the talent is. Its like American idol, it has been clear for weeks that Adam Lambert is a massive talent and so far ahead of the competition................ but I can't imagine anyone watches it on here, you're all so high brow Roll Eyes Winker

He didn't win - pah............. but it was worth watching to see Adam sing Detroit Rock City with Kiss, followed by Rod, Carlos Santana and the remaining members of Queen............... great show Cool

Erm' except Dickensian Dad's Army was meant to be scripted ......BGT isn't! ...it's meant to be a reality show that is what it appears to be ..and if it isn't they should have the courage to fess' up!

PS Kiss ROCK!
