cry me a river.

Since when did talent become synonymous with sympathisable (as in “eliciting sympathy”)? Because it’s beginning to annoy me. The latest case of this crazy definition of talented is observable on the current series of X Factor. What the f*** is Daniel still doing in the competition? He is, without doubt, one of the weakest singers there – I’ve heard better at karaoke events – and yet he’s still in for the running. On the other hand, uber-talented, Austin was given the boot just last night. Why Rachel and Austin even ended up in the bottom two is a complete mystery to me. But what I’m sure of, is that Daniel is surviving on sympathy votes alone. For those of you who are unaware of his situation, his wife died shortly after giving birth to his daughter about a year ago (I think) and her dying wish was for him to audition at X Factor. Awwww! How sweet! He’s doing it for his late wife….my arse! Does he look like he’s doing it for his wife? Does it look like he’s in anyway unhappy? He’s loving it! It has long since gone past the point of fulfilling her request. So open your eyes, Britain!! Stop picking up the phone whilst dabbing your eyes with a hanky. This is a singing competition. Not a charity.

Daniel for the chopping block!
