Laura White voted off X Factor

Wow. I don't even know where to begin. Oh yes I do--why the fuck are these little kiddies voting a gazillion times for little boys who can't sing or old pervy men that wink all the time for odd reasons, when there is actual talent this year on the X Factor?

Laura White and Ruth Lorenzo in the bottom two is like saying no one in the country heard Rachel Hylton's constant sour notes or noticed that Alexandra Burke sounded like she was taking a shit! I am NOT going to apologize for being blunt tonight. I am truly shocked at the public's decision.

People keep saying, "Oh don't worry Laura, you will have a future in the business no matter what." Really? You really think people will remember these contestants 6 months from now? She needed the boost of actually winning the show...or at least coming a bit closer to the final!

I was so thrilled that finally there was a singer who was technically good as well as vocally. It takes more than a little raw talent to be a musician, which is something people keep forgetting. Laura had that musician's ear. She has never hit a wrong note. Why does everyone think it is OK for people to hit "bum notes"...they do matter you know? If you paid £50 to go see a show on the West End, I am sure you would be annoyed if the lead was tone deaf. In the real world people aren't only judged by their looks, but by their actual TALENT!

Whatever I say or write, it will never change. Little girls are always going to vote for little boys, people are always going to vote for people out of spite, others will cast their vote out of emotional blackmail(Daniel...Rachel), so what is the point of a talent show, when the talentless always win?

Re:

Dear English Opium man or whatever your name is,

Some of us here are British, and some of us are American. We all live in London, and we all think the many many comments you left on here were ridiculous. No one here is trying to put British fashionistas against fat annoying Americans. No one here is trying to put anyone down. This is a BLOG. A blog is for analysis, for opinion on whatever happens to be the subject. Will we offend some people? Obviously. But that isn't our intention. When we write about fashion, television or politics, we discuss these things from both a British and American perspective. Why do you have such a problem with this? Ida herself, yes there is actually an Ida, is dealing with far more serious matters and barely ever posts anymore. Don't take life so seriously!

Good-Bye Republicans! Obama has won!

Personally I didn't even like Obama, but I am relieved to be rid of the republican way. It is currently 333 to 155. I think Obama's number will grow. Good for him. And McCain...it is too little, too late. If you were really that compassionate, why did you wait until you lost to let us Americans know??? Why did you choose that idiot Sarah Palin to stand beside you. Not all women have brains, and she is the perfect example. Come on...a former beauty queen??? Stupid stupid stupid. You didn't have a chance once you picked her to be your running mate!

I am not one of those people that invests all of my hopes and dreams into Obama. Do I think he will really help build a national health care system that works? No. Do I really think he will fix the economic crisis we are now in? No. Do I really think he gives a shit about the impoverished? No! But I do think it will be refreshing to hear a president not abuse the English language. I do think it will be nice to have a leader with more than half a brain. I do think it will be nice to bring the troops home, and it seems that Obama was the best bet to end this bull shit "war" we are in.

Have fun packing your bags Bush. Too bad you can't erase the past 8 years of highly embarrassing behavior. Good luck to you while you go back to your ranch and suck on a grain of wheat. Can I say this now? FUCK YOU!

Oasis rocked the Electric Proms

BBC Two aired an Oasis Electric Proms special tonight, and I have to say it was fab. They could have lost the choir though--seriously, what was the point of them?? You couldn't even hear them, and the looked so dorky swaying off beat to Oasis, I just wanted to scream!
