He's not the messiah...

[Glaikit]

Part 3. optional, but may help!

Tomorrow night: Barry Manilow night!

Missed it for first time tonight as had to go socialise but thanks for the thread, loving it so much more than the epic, I mean tedious shows!

Actually, the Beeb didn't do show tunes until the end but they pretended pop songs were show tunes. Properly, with hands free mics and LOTS of hands spread/air grabbing/grimacing. Brilliant.

Ooh. Jodie Prenger reviewing last night's show on ITV1-now.

They've got Tim on now.

In rush hour last night I saw Tim Minchin at Kings Cross tube interchange.

Caught his eye and could see him thinking to himself, "Oh please, for the love of Jesus, don't talk to me about Jesus" as he strode purposefully on...

Oi, Judas! You bastard

Is what to shout at him.

Ah, there you are. I watched on delay last night, so couldn't follow. And tonight I'm out so will be on delay again, but wanted to mark my place on the new support thread.

It really is dreadful isn't it. But somehow compelling.

My friend is concerned that some of you may not be taking this whole thing very seriously, and is cocking a stern eyebrow in your direction. Yes, you know who you are. Yes, YOU.

However, she has finished wallowing in the hot Rogerness and has been shopping for a new lipstick for when spud introduces her to His Simba Rogerness, and is now ready to restore some order to this shambles of a thread

So:
Top of the Messianic pops: Simba Jesus (natch) 'Forgetable' (you silly people) Jesus, Fat Thor Jesus (who is surely the front-runner now with a Gesthemane-worthy performance)
On the up: Mackem Jesus. Surprising.
Slipping down the pole: (stop sniggering at the back, I can see you, you know) is Jesus Jesus. I like him but he doesn't quite have the vocals for me my friend. Shame, because he is very sweet and quite nice even though my friend is old enough to be his mother. Also on the wane are Bieber Jesus - just too twinkly and Butlins Jesus, who is surprisingly good but won't go all the way (I can still see you!).
Fading into obscurity: Glasses / No Glasses Jesus, obviously, and Oirish Jesus, who would have made a lovely Joseph and would probably be a smashing disciple but He Is Not The Messiah.

And there, my friends, we have it. Spud do let me know when you've set up that date, my friend is very excited.

I am looking forward to tonight, oddly Though I am feeling rubbish- so may be watching sober. Sober may be a step too far....

The judges must be getting bored with trotting out the same cliches now. What will they fill the time with tonight
And will they change the rules again?!

Raahh the thrill of anticipation never ends, does it?

Aspirante you your friend is clearly a martyr to the Superstar cause. i will try to treat the programme with the respect it demands.

I am still rooting for JesusJesus, purely on beard alone.

I think there is going to be a huge twist, and we will find out Mel C is Jesus

Ohhhhhhh and they are really auditioning for Mary Magdelene? That would be awesome!

I had wondered if they were going to let the runners up be disciples as a sort of consolation prize. They've the right number.

Sorry, my friend wondered.

ThorJesus has been practicing his girly hair do, so he could be Mary. They should let the others be disciples- but maybe they would get nasty, and there is only room for one Juda

I won't be here for most of tonight but might join you for the end (I have a dance class).

I really miss the obligatory slow walk forward during the crescendo with the hands going up and forwards to the patented musical theatre pose.

I wondered that too, Aspirant.

I thought Mel C was being Mary?

Right. New thread. I will go do.

New thread new thread new thread
