AIBU?

To think reality music shows should quit with the sympathy vote attempts

Just watching The Voice- so far we've had:-

My brother is in a successful band and I'm not

And

I'm only on here because my sister, who has cancer, said I should do it

What relevance is any of that other than to go for the sympathy vote?

I don't think Danny-from-mcfly's sister should have been eligible. If she wanted introductions to agents etc I'm sure he'd have helped her. She's taken a place from someone with zero connections.

Blimey, now we've got 'Adele's my cousin'

What has that got to do with anything?

Yanbu. There's one on it atm whose sympathy vote story is a load of shit so I can't take the rest of the sob stories seriously anymore.

I like those. I play bingo with them. There are so many drinking games you can play watching reality tv.

Yanbu. The set up serenade of Kylie by the one with the sob story about being homeless when he was 19 made me feel sick. The guy has a beautiful voice but the constant reference to being homeless and living in east ln

Dam phone.


As I was saying; and living in east London in a 'woh is me' tone just undermines his obvious talent. Although the one who is basically just jealous of her own brother is worse. It's basically sibling rivalry .
