feeling listless

TV I was the one all those weeks ago who knew about Alex in Fame Academy. But lets face it, next to all the leggy blondes and Will Young knock offs, did we really think she would win? Yet here we are all these weeks later and there she was singing Imagine in a way which was not Lennon but still evocative of the song, as one of the judges said, 'making it her own.' Unlike the other singers who strove to be note perfect and give an acting performance of sorts at the expense of emotion. For once, it might be that a reality TV show has found a real talent which could have longevity. So long as they let her have her own voice, don't over produce her, and she doesn't bottle it. Of course the only clean way of making this a contest would have to see all the singers cover the same song and compare. But that would have been even more tedious television.
