Tonight Matthew I Am Having A Guinness!!…. ------------------------------------------
I don’t even know why I watch this show as it takes up time on my Saturday night. I am invited out to so many parties at the weekend that I use watching this show as an excuse not to offend folk……The show is on ITV and is usually on just after 6pm on saturday night.........
------------------------------------------
So what is the show about, you can’t be serious can you. It stars that tall guy with the grey beard, no not Santa, Matthew Kelly. My guess is you either hate Kelly or you like him, personally I find him ok but that’s because I am so easy going and get on with most people…….
-------------------------------------------
There are five contestants every week who feel this urge to make absolute fools of themselves. That is what I like about Ciao, you don’t have to leave the house to make a fool of yourself…. --------------------------------------------
I wouldn’t mind if they had even a small amount of talent but they are so crap its beyond believe. And then they have the cheek to pretend a friend or family member put their name forward for the show. How do I know they applied themselves, easy, firstly those losers have no friends and if you were related to them would you want people to know….. ---------------------------------------------
So anyway on with the show. They come on one at a time and have a chat with Matthew first. We see them in their workplace and we hear about their music likes. They then go out of the studio and reappear as who they are going to be. Now I don’t know about you but either I have not drunk enough or these people are copying someone else because they look nothing like the artist they are copying…….. ---------------------------------------------
Then comes the big build up, they slowly walk down the steps and burst into song. The audience start to clap and cheer and I am looking around the stage to see if someone else is on the stage. Then I realise that by some miracle they are applauding the loser, totally unreal…….. ---------------------------------------------
Anyway after the five have destroyed 5 good songs its down to the audience to vote who they thought was the best. Don’t even try to guess the winner as it is easier picking the winner of the Grand National. The audience must either be on the drink or Matthew Kelly knows them personally, its fixed….
--------------------------------------------- In fairness though the show has stood the test of time and does have a peak Saturday viewing time. They always ended the show with the winner singing the song again and they still do. But they have now added an extra feature that shows the winner arriving at the studio and going through their time getting changed and learning all the routines…….. ---------------------------------------------
Joking aside I must hold my hand up and admit I like the show, I enjoy watching people that have the nerve to stand up and sing in front of millions. I also think Matthew Kelly is a great host and a bit like Cilla Black in that he makes the people feel at ease when they appear on the show……….. ---------------------------------------------
Anyway thanks for yet another few minutes of your time, have a good week and if you could please leave a comment on what you thought of my style of writing………………..
Cheers…….. Art!…………………
