Geordie Shore Episode 3

Back to the shore this week and plenty going on as you would imagine, first off I get a lot of people asking if I know where the Geordie Shore house is, no.  That would be the short answer.  If I had to hazard a guess though I would say Jesmond, week three saw Jay and Vicky in "Spy" alone, which is a bar in Jesmond, just a thought.

Since I have mentioned them already we will start with them, it has been obvious for the last couple of weeks that Jay and Vicky fancy each other but, they do like to tash on with other people, usually making the other rather jealous.  Two things were confirmed last night 1.  Jay and Vicky will not be tashing on with other people, just each other.  2.  Vicky is nuts, certified loony bunny boiler territory, if I were Jay I would strictly limit the tashing.

"He's popped me brain oot me skull", that was Charlotte of course describing her night in bed with Gaz, referring to his Sky remote looking manhood.  Gaz wasted no time in showing it off to the rest of the girls in the second episode, he now has them referring to it as either looking like a Parsnip or similar in size to their forearms.  That did not leave Charlotte light on her feet the morning after, she was hobbling round the house like John Wayne.  Good going Gaz.

Holly's very understanding boyfriend decided that he would pop around on the latest episode.  Holly decided this would be a good time to confess she had kissed someone else the night before, which went in hand with refreshing his memory that she had "ergh" kissed Gaz on the first night in the house.  Gaz happened to be out at the time but came back right in the middle of it.  For whatever reason Holly's boyfriend did not really fancy his chances and decided just to shake his hand, I'm sure whilst muttering under his breath something something similar to "TWAP".

Party time last night also as it was Jay's birthday, VIP style in Tup Tup Palace.  I can personally confirm that this is one of the best nightclubs in Newcastle.  Last time I was there was a stag doo, it just so happened there was a cat walk underwear modelling show on.  £4 a bottle of Peroni seemed very reasonable at the time.

So that is all the latest from the house and MTV's biggest show.  One thing is for sure I won't be getting bored of this one.  Don't forget subscribe to the feed "top right" have all the latest delivered straight to you and oh yeah one more thing, leave you comments.  These Geordie Shore posts are amongst the most read one's I have, so go ahead leave a comment.

Luther Series 2

Now to that British Drama that I have been promising you all week.   I know this is not exactly breaking news but I first heard it last week right in the middle of the BGT posts so I couldn't squeeze it in then.

So Luther well if you saw series one, you will know this show stars Idris Elba, you know.  The guy from the wire.  He is a great actor probably one of the most underrated one in my opinion.

Idris plays Detective Chief Inspector John Luther in the dark gritty psychological police drama, the first series consisted of only six episodes and not only was it shown in the UK is also went to BBC America and ABC1 in Australia. 

Luther is a troubled man who lets nothing stand in his way of his job allowing it to even cost him his marriage.The battle between Idris Elba and Ruth Watson, who carried out the seemingly perfect murder on her parents was fascinating and the first series was a massive hit.  A show that I loved and can't wait for the second series.

Luther Series 2 starts BBC 1 HD, on Tuesday 14th June 2011 and will be in two parts each lasting two hours, cant wait!  Check out the trailer below.

Want to catch up?  You can buy series 1 here.

Hope you enjoyed the latest, lets just hope that the Event gets a second series.  There are a few Internet rumours going round about that but, we will have to wait and see.

Must Have Songs For Your iPod Week 14

It feels like I have not done one of these posts for ages now, you know with all the Britain's Got Talent posts going up in the last week.  But we are back to it now as BGT has finished for another year meaning I'm back to reporting on the movies and TV shows, and Geordie Shore of course.I have got some great ideas for the music post for the next three weeks two of which are older music, not that old Simply Red (don't laugh) and Seasick Steve but this week I'm going to go with the newer one as I have rattled on about older music for the last couple of weeks.

You may remember this one from the Graham Norton show post a few weeks back now.  Cee Lo Green performed live on the show promoting his new song "I Want You", live it was awesome you can check that here.  Below is the official music video which had not been released back then, let me know your opinion but, I think the live version was better.

Now to a band that I've never mentioned here before.  Some of my readers if not all of my readers in America won't have heard of these guys.  The Wanted are sort of the big competition for JLS at the moment and their fairly new track "Glad You Came" has been overlooked by me lately.  I had a listen the other day and thought it was worthy of a slot here, check out the video below.

The last one today, I have been meaning to put this one up for ages.  Mann ft 50 Cent "Buzzin", not that often Fiddy does a good one these days.  He tends to do better when he features on other peoples records.  the video is below.

So that's the latest on the music post, what can I say there was not much coming out this week, alright who will it be next week then Simply Red or Seasick Steve.  Why don't you choose, leave your suggestions in the comments below whatever you choose I will go with.  I'm going to be back tomorrow with the news on that British drama that I promised you on the BGT final post.  Cheers.

Britain's Got Talent 2011 Winner Jai McDowall

Well what can we say about Jai really, an unassuming guy 24 years old from the Ayeshire village of Tarbolton.  Jai has never received any professional training or lessons in singing he only knows that when he sings it make him feel good.

Oh yeah ladies, Jai is single and up until his appearance on Britain's Got Talent he has been a care worker.

We first met Jai in the auditions when he performed "Anthem" for the judges, in the pre interview he admitted that he was nervous having never done anything like this before but, he did not let that stop him and sailed through to the semi finals.

As we know Jai performed in the semi's and sang Evenesance "Bring Me To Life", a big rock song.  He toned it down and done a beautiful version with his big powerful voice.  Up against Edward Reid the nursery rhyme singer and Steven Hall the dancer Jai won the public vote on the night securing his place in last nights final.


He has not been in the press at all really, and not a great deal has been said about him.  All of the hype was going to Ronan Parke and he was hot favourite to take the show on the night.  The press have really put him through it the last couple of days though since the story broke on Thursday about the blogger who claimed that Ronan had been secretly managed by Cowell for two years and the show was set up for him to win.  We know that is of course not true even more so now that on the night Jai took the prize with a fantastic performance of Josh Grobans song "To Where You are".  Enjoy.

So that is it for Britain's Got Talent for another year, what are we all going to do until the X Factor comes back to our screens?  I have and idea on something you can watch and you can read about it here on Tuesday, just be sure to subscribe to the RSS feed and come back then.  I will be back Monday with the weekly music post as there are two new posts today for you, so catch you then.

Britain's Got Talent Final 2011

So here we are the final of BGT 2011, we have been here for the last two and a half months giving you the lowdown on every show and most of the acts.  As you know some have been good, some have been bad, and some have been truly awful.  The show as always has been a massive hit with the public but for me this year I found it a bit boring, not because of the acts (well some of them) but just due to the fact that it has been on for two hours every night, I think they over played it a little.

So to last nights show the finalists were, Michael Collings, Les Gibson, James Hobley, Ronan Parke, Jean Martyn, Jai McDowall, Razy Gogonea and New Bounce.

First up then Michael Collings, a guy who has majorly impressed in this competition, and Simon Cowell loved him in the semi final.  A great performance from Michael in the final, he sang Driving in My Car again by Tracy Chapman, unfortunately it was not good enough on the night though.

Les Gibson now, you know the guy who does the impressions.  My favourite act if I'm honest.  A really likable guy and I hope he goes on to do really well out of his performances on the show.  Hilarious last night and topped it off with impressions of all the judges apart from Amanda Holden.

James Hobley, I really thought this kid would have done better than what he did, I think the Queen would probably love this type of act.  He is a ballet dancer and a pretty awesome one at that especially for an 11 year old.  A great job last night and he should do well following the show.

Now Paul Gbegbaje the pianist, everyone has been impressed with this guy and I was looking forward to see what he could do in the final.  Again another act that was very impressive on the night and a shame he had big voices to compete against.

Onto Ronan Parke now the favourite to win the final this year.  Remember yesterday in the press it came out that a blogger had published something about this kid being coached by Cowell for the last two years, yeah.  That was not me.  The blog has now been taken down, and it's not true.  There were a couple of moments when I thought his voice was going to go last night but, he pulled it back and gave an incredible performance.

To Jean Martyn now you know the lady who plays keyboard and organ, with a massive cheesy grin on her face, it may not be your favourite act but you can't help but like this lady.  Last night she was full of smiles as always but, it wasn't for me.

Razy now, the Matrix dancer guy who saw off the challenge from French dancer Michael Moral in the semi final after Simon Cowell brought him back.  This guy is an amazing dancer no doubt but, can he step it up in the final.  He was very impressive last night especially with the fire.

New Bounce now the boy band who really stepped it up in the semi final and were tipped to win by a couple of the judges.  Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone is a pretty big song to pull off especially for a bunch of teenagers.

I know you have noticed that I have not mentioned this years winner Jai McDowall yet, well that's because I thought you could go check him out on his very own post here and find a little more out about the guy.  Go to the home page and you will find it there.

Thanks for dropping by, and sticking with me on what has been a massive week for this blog.  Views have gone through the roof here in the last week with all the BGT and Geordie Shore readers, so thank you again.  Remember I report on all things entertainment so be sure to subscribe to the RSS feed and keep dropping by to leave your comments.  Cheers.

Britain's Got Talent Semi Final 5

As you know I missed BGT again last night, like the night before I think I enjoyed it more watching the videos on itv.com following the show. 

Last Night's acts were Michael Collings, Razy Gogonea, Pip & Puppy, Michael Moral, Antonio Popeye, Follow The Right Path, Mr & Mrs, The Celtic Colleens and Marawa.  Yeah don't worry I don't remember some of those either.

Follow The Right Path, the rappers from the auditions.  They sang the same song as the auditions with a little extra added on the end, not to much to add to that really.

I don't even remember these guys from the auditions Mr & Mrs are a singing act, yeah they are ok but nothing to impressive, It did not take Simon long to buzz.

Popeye!

 Onto Antonio Popeye now, is popping your eyes out of your head even a talent.  Literally that is all he does stands there and sticks out his eyes.  He ends up looking like that little guy Alec Baldwin sits next to in Beetlejuice.  Not entertaining at all and the first person to get four buzzes and cut his act short.

Celtic Colleens, I really could not remember who they were until they came out.  I have to be honest here this was pretty impressive.  The girls are an Irish dancing group with a twist check out the video below.

As you know I really don't like dog acts, go to Crufts already.  I did not have high hopes for Pip and her opera singing dog tonight.  Well actually he can't sing he just howls along conveniently at the same time as Pip is singing.  That's about all their is to say really.

Now to French dancer Michael Moral, the guy who did not make it to this stage initially but he was invited back by Simon to give Razy a little healthy competition. His dancing on the night was good but for me not as good as Razy, get on France's Got Talent.

Now the second place act of the night Michael Collings, this is the guy who sang the Tracy Chapman song Driving In My Car at the audition, he was amazing bit of a Susan Boyle moment really.  Last night was no different, as the judges said when you have got it, you've got it and you don't need all the fancy dancers and backing singers to prove it.

Razy Gogonea now, last night's semi final winner, again here he done the same dance as the auditions.  Yeah he is very good at it but it would be nice to see what else he can do.

So nearly there now, all the 10 acts through to Saturday nights final have been chosen and the public will decide who will be crowned champion of BGT 2011.  I will review the final of course and then back to normal Sunday with the music post and some great news on a British drama returning to our screens in a weeks time, in the mean time;

New Cinema Releases: 3rd June 2011

So the Hangover Part II is going down a storm here in the UK just as expected, the movie took a massive $30 million on it's opening weekend in the states, granted it did not do that well here but, they never do.  I still haven't seen it yet so I'm still on it, promise.

So new to the cinemas this week, well, there are some pretty good movies coming out this week.  Let's take a look at them below.




X Men: First Class

Starring: James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence

Ok so I know this movie was actually released here on Wednesday June 1st but, I figured that no one would be going to see it until the weekend.  I have seen the first three X Men movies but not the fourth and they are pretty good, special effects are amazing.  I have only seen the third partially but figure I can fill in the blanks.

This new fifth installment of the franchise is taking us back to 1963 the prequel to the original X Men movie.  Charles Xavier and Eric Lenscherr otherwise known as Professor X and Magneto are the best of friends working together with other mutants.  A rift causes the friends to start a war between Magneto's brotherhood and Professor X's X Men. 

The trailers for this movie look amazing and you can be sure I will be getting around to watching it at some point and posting my review, in the mean time check out the trailer below.

Senna

Starring: Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost and Frank Williams

Now I'm a big fan of Formula 1 racing, unfortunately not so much when this guy was around.  I don't know a lot about the movie other than it's a documentary.  I probably won't be in a hurry to see it but, you can be sure that if I get the chance and it comes on TV then I will give it a watch.

The footage of Senna is of course from archive but, the movie charts the decade he was in the world of motor racing winning three world titles, looking at his fierce rivalry with Frenchman Alain Prost, and also the saddest weekend in motorsport history which was watched by 300 million people on TV when the greatest motor racing driver of all time Ayrton Senna was tragically killed in the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix.

Screwed

Starring: James D'Arcy, Noel Clarke and Frank Harper

I saw this one whilst researching for this weeks posts and it took my interest due to the British acting talent that is on display.  The movie is based on a book of the same name and looks like it will be worth a watch.

The movie is a semi-biographical story of Ronnie Thompson, who for seven years worked as a prison guard in some of the UK's most dangerous prisons.  The story revolves around Sam who has just returned from Iraq and taken a job as a prison officer, soon he is exposed to the underworld of prison life including corrupt guards and drugs trafficking.

Ok so that's it for this week's movies, hope you enjoyed the latest, it's been a busy week here with all of the Britain's Got Talent semi finals going on and new MTV show Geordie Shore to report on but, I got there. 

I've not banged on about this for a while so I will do it now, get subscribing to the the RSS feed the button is top right and it's FREE, also be sure to "like" the Facebook page and follow us on twitter, cheers. 

Britain's Got Talent Semi Final 4

Your AWESOME man I love you.  Sorry sorry, Hasselhoff is starting to rub off on me again.  The fourth semi final of BGT last night and guess what, I enjoyed this one more than the other three, why?  Because I didn't watch it.  Seems to have done the trick to, as you know I have been getting bored with the show, not because it's bad, it's just on to long and to often.


Tonight I'm actually at work, and managed to log onto itv.com to check out the videos from the show, that way I don't have to see all the ads or listen to them rambling on.  Never mind on with the post.

Tonight saw Edward Reid, Steven Hall, Jai McDowall, Nathan Wyburn, Out Of The Blue, Mexican Mayhem, Jessica Hobson and Dance Angels.  Now that is a pretty impressive line up for the night, three or four of those would be in with a shout of reaching the final.


First up it's Nathan Wyburn, remember the guy who painted Michael McIntyre's face using toast and Marmalade.  Tonight he done three pieces of art work again not with paint brush's or pen and paper.  One with fire one which looked like glitter and one with candles, I have to be honest I was bored 2 minutes into this video.


Out of the Blue, you know the guys from Oxford and Cambridge university, no.  Ok the clever guys who put an awesome spin on a Lady GaGa track in the auditions, this week they done Jump.  I don't know who sang it but it was in the movie Love Actually, the bit where Hugh Grant is dancing through 10 Downing Street.  The performance was ok but I enjoyed the first one better.

Mexican Mayhem, well it was mayhem nothing mis advertised there, this is another dog act.  Well more a lady with two dogs who stare at her as if to say no "I'm not doing that".  Then she goes to give the dogs some Tequila, I'm pretty sure the RSPCA would have something to say about that.


Jessica Hobson, she is a singer.  At least that is what her act is, the audition was not that bad from what I can remember but last night she was terrible.  That is pretty much all their is to say.


Edward Reid now, the guy who came third surprisingly.  He is the guy who takes nursery rhymes and sings them with the backing track of a more modern song, when he starts you kind of think what the!  But then you realise how good he is and it is pretty iimpressive.

Steven Hall, the telecommunications engineer from Cumbria.  I enjoyed his first audition he done a mad mixture of dances, it was very enjoyable and last night was no different.  I would still go back to what Ruben my regular commenter said though, It does look very similar to the Evolution of Dance video on YouTube.

The winner of the night now Jai McDowall, in the auditions this guy was amazing really powerful voice and a nice guy to.  Last night even more amazing when he sang an opera version of Evanesance Bring Me To Life, check the video below, amazing.

So that's it for another night of semi finalists.  Steven Hall and Jai McDowall through to the final, I'll be doing the same tomorrow night and watching the video's online after the show and will be back on Saturday morning with the review of the 5th Semi.  Cant wait till then?

Geordie Shore Episode 2

Ok so I was really ready to give this show a shocking review this week, as you know I caught it late.  What with BGT on for two hours every night it has been hard to keep up, not that I'm complaining.  If you have read my Britain's Got Talent post from earlier then you will know I' getting bored with it, without doubt the funniest thing about the show is Michael McIntyre. 

Last week I watched the first episode of Geordie Shore and thought like a lot of people did,  what on earth is this tripe, right?  wrong.  I watched it again this week as promised and I have to be honest I laughed my ass of for an hour,  in the first review I gave it a bit of a kicking probably because I couldn't believe what I was seeing.  This week I have changed my opinion, as you have probably guessed and I think this might be my new favourite show, don't ask me why.  Maybe I just like trashy TV, who knows?

It's obvious now that Jay and Vicky are going to become an item, they clearly fancy each other and Jay has managed not to sleep with anyone else yet.  he did "Tash On" as they say with some bird this week but, Vicky seemed to let him off or at least that's how hit looked with the two of them in bed together.  Lucky Git.


A SKy Remote!


Now to Gaz and Charlotte, I said last week that Gaz was keeping Charlotte back for himself.  If he does not manage to pull whilst out in Newcastle, he will take Charlotte back at the house.  She knew that is how he felt and has been managing to fight off his advances, well at least until he took of his pants to reveal that he is hung like a horse, he compared it last week to a Sky remote, if it does look like a Sky remote Gaz then I would be getting that looked at. 

Greg and the lads decided on a dinner party for some girls they had met last week whilst out.  Mr smooth rang them to arrange for them to come to the Geordie Shore house for some dinner and tashing on.  That went well and the girls at the house who at first were not bothered, seemed pretty mad later on in the night, threatening to chin one of the girls for coming upstairs, to be fair the invited girls were a bit crazy.

Holly the one with the boyfriend, sorry that should be very trusting and understanding boyfriend.  invited him round this week as she was missing him, aargh int that nice like.  She confessed that she had kissed someone on the first night in the house, well Holly if that is what you constitute as kissing then a large group of my friends would very much like to meet you.  And one I forgot to mention Sophie she got laid, and then her dad decided to pop round the next morning whilst the guy was still in her bed, I don't think he knew.  Well he will now, never mind.

That's all the latest from the Shore, I think I will defiantly be watching every week now.  Since Britain's Got Talent is getting so boring these days Geordie Shore for me has got to be one of the best shows on TV.  Now I have not banged on about this for at least two posts so I'll mention it now.  If you are not following me on Twitter, Facebook or subscribing to the feed then get on it.  I promise you won't be disappointed.

Britain's Got Talent Semi Final 3

So on we go with the BGT over kill for the week, is anybody else getting bored?  No, maybe it's just me.  I know it's a talent show but why did they put so many talentless people through, I don't think Simon Cowell is very impressed.

Last night saw a couple of good acts one which could win and another that won't up last night were, Les Gibson, Wachinraporn Tirpack, Gay and Alan, Abyss, Angela and Teddy, The Circus of Horrors, Jay Worley and James Hobley.

I'll start with Wachinraporn, or watchingporn as she is referred to by some of the judges, this is what I'm referring to when I say why do they put through talentless people, she does an act if that's what you want to call it, no one actually knows what the act is she just comes on dressed as various characters and prances around the stage, granted she is pretty attractive but that's as far as it goes really, she has no talent.

The Circus of Horrors, you may remember me mentioning them a while back.  I enjoyed their first audition although it's not something I would go and see I thought they were pretty good at what they do last night though, I was was not impressed.  It was in fact what they say Horrors, not good and very boring, again maybe it's just me let me know.

Angela and Teddy now, and I don't need to tell you again that I don't like dog acts, if you want to see a dog act then watch Cruffs on TV, that would be my advice.  On BGT they all seem to do the same thing.  Angela is an older lady and very nice with it, unfortunately for her Teddy the dog is pretty old to and can't really be bothered to do tricks in front of millions of people.

Now to Jay Worley, a singer who to be honest should probably be on the X Factor rather than this show,  He is ok last night he decided to sing Use Somebody by Kings Of Leon, a great song I'm sure you'll agree.  He did an ok job not as good as his audition and he did not make the final three on the night.

Gay and Alan, they are a couple who do a bell ringing act, I talked about these guys in the audition if I remember rightly.  I thought they were going to be terrible but, they proved me wrong and where actually pretty impressive at what they do, last night again they where good and managed to get into the top three, It's not something I would pay to go and see and you do get a little bored but at least It's original and they have mastered it.

To really impressive now James Hobley was awesome in the auditions he is a Ballet dancer, and at 11 years old he is very impressive, again I have to be honest It's not something I would go and see but you have to admire the dedication it takes to be that good, last night he done a dance to a Leona Lewis song and rightly so he is through to the final at the weekend.

The winner last night Les Gibson, this guy was fantastic in the auditions with his impressions of Kevin Webster, Ross Kemp and his hilarious take on Dec the co host of the show , last night he was equally impressive adding in Alan Sugar and Gordon Ramsey, he had them off to a tee and won the public vote taking him through to the final.

I start late shift at work tonight so won't catch the show, what am I going to do?  I'll watch it on YouTube probably about midnight at work type tomorrows post before I leave work and post when I get up tomorrow, you see the dedication here.  Speaking of dedication I watched Geordie Shore last night as promised and have the review ready to come out later today, don't want to miss it then make sure you subscribe.

Britain's Got Talent Semi Final 2

I know you were expecting  a review of the second episode of Geordie Shore this morning but, I did not get time to watch that last night mainly due to the fact that BGT is on for two hours by the time we get the results, I had to catch up with the last episode of the Event also which will be reviewed some time this week.  I will watch Geordie Shore tonight and report tomorrow, promise.

I don't know if this is just me but I feel like BGT is just on TV to much now and I'm getting bored, maybe it was just last night did not really entertain me that much who knows?

Up last night were New Bounce, Jean Martyn, David and Karen, Enchantment, Lorna Bliss, Herbie Armstrong, Up and Over and Two and a half Men.

Remember Lorna?

I'll start with Lorna Bliss the girl who has devoted her life to looking like Britney Spears, why?  Well that's what I thought, she did not even get through to the semi's originally straight No's from all the judges.  Then Hasselhoff goes and argues her case and they bring her back, again why?  Other than the fact she wore no clothes in the first audition she was not impressive.  Last night she managed to get two buzzers and really bad comments from the judges, note to self Lorna wear less clothes next time.

Herbie Armstrong was quite good last night, I wouldn't say that I enjoyed it that much.  You would expect him to be good as he was a set musician for years before he ran pubs, last night he sang Mandy, it was ok but it is not good enough to beat either Ronan Parke or New Bounce.  Herbie did not get through to the final.

Two and a half Men now, they were quite good their dancing act told a real story kind of like watching an old Laurel and Hardy sketch, enjoyable to a point but I got a bit bored of it half way through.  Up and Over also featured last night, they are Irish dancers formally part of Riverdance, they do Irish dancing with their hands.  Simon Cowell was not impressed and neither was I to be honest, they are out to.

David and Karen are the magic act who do some great illusions, the one they done last night was pretty impressive and I have no idea how it's done, unfortunately they did not make the cut last night.  They got into the top 3 but where pipped to the post by Jean Martyn.

Jean now, she is the 59 year old retired school teacher, my wife and I were sitting talking about her.  You would want this lady to be your kids school teacher, it would be the best class in school I'm sure.  I said last time that at times she looks like she is not playing the keyboard and is simply pressing pre set buttons.  She did prove last night that was not the case and she does in fact play, it was great and she was in the last two winning the judges vote against the magicians.

Now to the winners of the night New Bounce, I was not to impressed with them in the first audition.  They made no real impact for me, their performance last night was by far and away the best they won the public vote, and they are now favourites to take the competition.

That's the latest, hope you enjoyed the post.  Don't forget I'm here everyday this week giving you the low down on each of the semis and then the final, want to read more then why not subscribe to the RSS feed the button is on the top right, or follow me on Twitter and Facebook, thanks for dropping by, whilst you are here why not check out the first semi final.

Britain's Got Talent Semi Final 1

Britain's Got Talent Live Semi Final 1

I'm a little late on this one been busy this morning, sorry.  The first semi final of Britain's Got Talent 2011 saw the return of Simon Cowell, he came in to the Superman music putting in his best effort not to be topped by any of the acts that where to follow.  It did not take long for Ant and Dec to knock him down a peg or two either, when Dec asked him if he could understand their accents ok.  It was probably the funniest moment of the night and only Ant and Dec would get away with that.

Now this week saw Donelda, the Arnie guy, Paul Gbegbaje, Ronan Parke, Joe Oakley and Girls Roc. 

Simon had not met Girls Roc yet and as thought he was impressed.  They came on once again with little to no clothes on, not that I'm complaining.  I mean they can't dance that great but, who cares as Simon said, are you really watching the dancing anyways.  The girls did not get into the top three on the night, and went home with no place in the final.  Maybe Simon will book them for his birthday party.

Now the Arnie guy, Stuart Arnold is the Entertainanator, or at least that is what he calls himself.  It was entertaining to the point I nearly fast forwarded it.  Maybe it's just me but where is the entertainment in a guy putting on an Arnold Schwarzenegger mask and then doing impressions of other people, he said I'll be back.  Ergh no Stu you won't bye.

I have mentioned already in last weeks post that I don't like dog acts.  Not that I don't like dogs.  I just don't find it entertaining to watch them doing tricks, they are clever no doubt but just not for me.  Donelda came on with her two dogs last night and really done nothing more impressive than what she had done in the first round of the competition.

Now Joe Oakley was also back last night to show us some more tricks on his stunt trial bike, no doubt this guy is good but other than jumping off higher platforms there is no where else balancing on one wheel can really go, so yeah pretty impressive and excellent balance but no place in the final for Joe, he did make it to the last three but went out on the public vote.

Paul Gbegbaje will be back in the final this weekend, I mentioned him in the last post also.  He has only been playing the piano for 5 years and man can he play it, I think his performance in the semi's went through about 5 songs all equally impressive.

Now to the winner of the night.  Ronan Parke wowed the judges in the first round with his rendition of Feeling Good.  He came back in the semi final with Adele's song Make You Feel My Love, I love this song and am impressed that some one as young as Adele has a voice that powerful never mind a 12 year old, the song was certainly not let down by Ronan who sang it beautifully.

That is all the latest from the show, hope you enjoyed it.  Want to stick around then why not go and check out some of the other BGT posts and don't forget leave your comments in the section below.  I'll be back tomorrow reporting on the latest from the 2nd semi final.

Britain's Got Talent Auditons - Episode 7

YOU ROCK, sorry, sorry.  I was having a bit of a Hasselhoff moment there, back to the auditions, not that many to tell you about today plus I'm still a little hungover from the Bank Holiday weekend festivities, be expecting a short post. 

First up this week is Joe Oakley, a trial bike stunt rider.  I'm a big fan of cycling and don't get out quite as often as I should, this guy was great, balance, technique everything and whats more it is the first time I have ever seen anyone do bike tricks on BGT. 

This week I'm taking you from the good to the bad and then back to the good again.  Hendrick Huelsman is a German Navy Commander currently stationed in Plymouth, UK.  I have to be honest here I thought this guy was going to be quite good, I mean he has a pretty important job and you would think he would not want to make to much of a joke of himself on TV, turns out he does.  Hendrick has even performed for his crew.  I think they may have been winding him up, well either that or he was doing this for a bet.



Now back to the good as promised.  Jean Martyn is a 59 year old retired music teacher, again you are thinking she is not going to make a joke of herself on TV.  Unlike Hendrick she didn't make a joke of herself, she plays the organ and piano, and man can she play them.  There were a couple of moments when I thought is she playing or just pressing pre set buttons but, no she is actually playing when you watch close enough. and it was a lot of fun.

So that is all the latest, pretty much.  Last night also saw the judges whittle down the 270 acts put through initially to just 40 to perform every night this week on the live semi finals, a couple of surprises.  First up Grils Roc got through, a little surprising yeah they could move a bit but they are not going to win the show.  The fact they wear very little clothing may be helping their cause.  Next surprise of the night was a battle between Razy Gogonea and Michael Moral, both great dancers who I expected to get through.  Of course one had to go home and it ended up being Michael, never mind give it a week, or maybe just a day and you probably won't remember anyway.

Ok thanks for dropping by for the latest on Britain's got talent, and oh yeah do I have to keep reminding you.  Get subscribing to the RSS, follow me on Twitter and like the Facebook page, rant over.  Want to stick around then why not check out this weeks music post or take a look at the earlier BGT post's.  I'll be back tomorrow reporting on the first live semi final.

Must Have Songs For Your iPod - Week 13

It's that time of the week again when I get to publish my favourite post, although I think Geordie Shore may be taking over just for the pure hilarity more than anything.  As always I'm here to give you the low down on both new and old tunes that you should be adding to your iPod or MP3 players.  So without further ado;

First up this week It's Pitbull again, he is back with his new single which I heard a couple of weeks back but, last Friday I went out to party it up a bit.  The nightclub I ended up in played this "Give Me Everything" featuring Ne-Yo, Afrojack and Nayer, maybe I was drunk I don't know but I enjoyed it and figure it would be a good one to gee you up before you go out on a large one.

Next Up, now what kind of music blog would I be if I didn't mention Take That, especially when they have kicked off their latest tour In Sunderland, North East England, not where I live but it's not to far to travel, NO...I'm not going to see them.  Their new single not yet released is taken from the new X Men First Class movie and called Love Love,  it's live below enjoy.

Now remember a couple of weeks back when I told you about the locker incident at work and I managed to catch some of Radio 1's big weekend on my way home, well I managed to keep a gem back for this week.  Yeah U-Hu, you'll get it when you watch the video of Whiz Khalifa "Black and Yellow" below.

Now that was a bit of a mix up this week, right?  Hope you enjoyed the latest, I'll be back tomorrow with the latest from Britain's Got Talent.  If you want to stick around then why not check out Cee Lo Green live on the Graham Norton Show from earlier in the week when he performed "I Want You".  Cheers, see you tomorrow.

Movie Review: JUST GO WITH IT Starring Adam Sandler

So onto the second movie review for the week, Just Go With It.  I was actually looking forward to watching this as I had been told that it was quite good.  You may tell by the review that the person who told me that may well have been referring to a different movie.

Who Is In It? Adam Sandler, Jennifer Aniston, Brooklyn Decker and Nick Swardson

The Plot

Sandler plays Danny Maccabee a Doctor who is about to marry his high school sweetheart, that is before he hears her talking about another guy she is sleeping with and is only with him for the Doctor's wages.  Maccabee walks out of the wedding and becomes "fake married" wearing the ring in bars for years to come and telling women a story in order to get them to sleep with him.

Maccabee eventually meets Palmer played by Brooklyn Decker (extremley hot) at a friends party, sleeps with her on the beach then she finds the wedding ring.  Maccabee decides to go after her and tells her that he is married but soon to be divorced, she of course wants proof of this.  His idea now is to get his assistant Katherine (Jennifer Aniston) to pretend to be his wife and takes along her children with him and Palmer to Hawaii.  He of course falls in love with his assistant and not Palmer.

The Verdict

The best bit of the movie.  Andy Roddick is a lucky guy.


This has got to go down as one of the worst movies I have ever seen, yeah really!  About ten minutes or so in I thought lets give it a chance, there were a couple of good gags and yeah I laughed but mostly it was just stupid I would expect this type of thing from Adam Sandler but not Jennifer Aniston.

Don't get me wrong I really like Adam Sandler movies they are all pretty stupid but they make you laugh and I like them.  This was stupid and did not make me laugh other than the couple of gags at the beginning.  I really found it hard to take seriously that any woman would be that stupid to beleive the blatant lies that Maccabee is telling her.  I know it's not real and Brooklyn Decker is not stupid but her character plays a teacher in this movie, come on.

I even got up to get myself another beer at one point and said to my wife this movie is shit, guess what.  She agreed with me and she loves this type of movie.  I know it's a rom com genre movie and the story is typical of that.  It does not take you long to work out what the story will be.  Maybe I was just expecting to much.

Would I Watch It Again?

I don't think so, I don't even think my wife would watch it again.

Star Rating: *

If you like this kind of movie then watch it why not, maybe you will agree, maybe you will disagree let me know in the comments section below.  If you want to look at a more positive movie review then check out The Mechanic review from earlier this week.  Thanks for dropping by the latest post and dont forget I'll be back tomorrow for the weekly music post.

New Cinema Releases: 27th May 2011

Ok so as always the movie we put at the top of last weeks movie post Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger tides is on top of the UK box office, no surprises there really and I don't mean because I mentioned it, simply that it's a Pirates Disney movie which stars Johnny Depp would be enough.  A good opening weekend here in the UK saw it take over £11.5 million.

On with this week now and again not really that much coming out, only one really good one to mention, another that I think was a kids book turned into a movie and I'll see what else I can find that will be worth your while going to see this weekend.  First up;

The Hangover Part II

Starring: Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis and Ed Helms

I have to be honest here I have not seen the first movie I don't know why, I have heard it is very funny, maybe I just have not had the time.  This is quite a highly anticipated release following the first movie so I think I should get round to seeing it before I watch this one, I'm on it don't worry.

The guys have just finished up with Stu's bachelor party over in Vegas and head out to Thailand for his wedding.  I would imagine from what I know about the first movie, which is not a lot.  That Stu's plans don't exactly go as they should.

Diary Of A Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules

Starring: Zachery Gordon, Dean Bostick and Robert Capron

I would have to say that if you have kids then I would imagine this is the one you are probably going to see this weekend, I know absolutely nothing about the movie but imagine it is aimed at children or just turned teenagers, knowing nothing about it I can't tell you much either but lets try.

Basically it's about two brothers Greg and Roderick they are dealing with their parents attempts to get them to bond whilst taking the leap into middle school.

Ok so that is pretty much it for this week as I say there is not really a lot happening at movie theatres this weekend, I suppose Pirates will still be on so you could go check that out.  It will probably be a bit quieter this weekend anyway.  Enjoy the post then why not check out this weeks movie review The Mechanic and come back tomorrow for a review of Just Go With It, thanks for reading and I'll be back Sunday night with the weekly Britain's Got Talent post.

Geordie Shore

I know I had promised you a review of Just Go With it today but, I have just managed to catch up with the latest TV show from my area.  I will get round to the review Saturday hopefully as I could not go without saying a few words about this.

This week saw the premier of MTV's latest show Geordie Shore.  England's answer to Jersey Shore a show which I have not seen so I can't compare.  The shore and its cast have had some pretty big pimping thanks to MTV and it has opened to record ratings for the first episode.  Now as a Geordie myself I can't speak for everyone but there has been some uproar over here on local radio calling for the show to be cancelled as it sheds such a bad light on Newcastle.

I watched the show and have to say I agree with the local radio, it does not shed at least in the first episode a very good light on Newcastle.  If you have not seen the show then basically there are 4 girls and 4 guys sent to live in a house and be like millionaires for the weekend.

Now the guys are not exactly my cup of tea, they are all gym boys and just a little full of their selves for my liking, with the exception of one I might add Greg a Plumber not a Gym boy and to be honest he seems pretty down to earth doing what most single guys would on a night out.  The other Guys Gary, James and Jay are the gym boys and tell a tale that this is what a Geordie should be like pumped up to the hilts and fake tanned or a sunbed worshipper, this is very different from the Geordie's that I know.

The girls again a little full of themselves attractive, no not really with the exception of Vicky.  She works in a call centre for Sky television and seems like a pretty nice girl.  Next up it is Holly the only girls in the house who has a boyfriend, although that is a little hard to believe following her behaviour in the first episode, she has hair extensions which to be honest look like she has borrowed from Amy Winehouse.  The other girls in the house well, you have Charlotte a little bit of a cutie who Gary already has his eye on and then you have Sophie the party animal mortal drunk within hours of being in the house and throwing up on the bathroom floor, classy.

Now there you have a short introduction to everyone, if you would like some more detail then a fellow blogger of mine has set up an official fan site you can check that here  http://www.geordieshore.org.uk/ for me being a Geordie I will be watching the show every week, not because it's a great show but it caught my interest enough to watch it every week and write about it here.  I will be providing you with a review of every episode what was good what was bad and what was truly ugly, be sure to follow us on twitter and join the conversation twitter.com/@MoviesMusicNTV I am also over on Facebook be sure to "like" the page the button is over on the right and you can subscribe to the feed here and have everything delivered straight to your inbox.
