I wonder how the stats would change...

I'm note sure which is more depressing - the rise and rise of IE6, or the fact that everyone in Australia seems to be enamoured with Australian Idol... (I mean, I did watch an episode, and the URL was up on the screen every, oh, 30 seconds or so...!) John. Busy lad.

The only word which came to mind, following some caterwauling for some minutes (and the expressions on the faces of 'the panel' - forced to listen) was Execrable. THIS is Entertainment - World Class, 2004 ?? Shit, it's Worse than I'd imagined and I'd imagined: Pretty Bad. Pity.. the Oz-merchants ain't got no cuth, either, apparently. Condolences, Ashton, crank - not easily mesmerized by Puuuuure Crrrrap - and there's only a tad of the Scottish somewhere back there in the couplings.

I've heard the winner's current song - it's not my style of music, but yes, he can sing. But he sounds identical to everyone of his genre, there's nothing that says "I'm Guy Sebastian the fab new singer!". It's just "I'm Guy Sebastian but I have to tell you else you wouldn't pick it". Guess they never said that about Bing, or Ella, but then they weren't the result of a talent quest, were they. Sigh, I dunno, maybe I'm just too old for the TV shows that The Kids are into these days! :) John. Busy lad.
