lowdown Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Seems there is a use for Viola players after all. Not sure she will ever get another TV gig again though........

CPBass Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 A great publicity stunt, a great target. Nice to see the balance tipped. He handled it really well though. She'll be on top of the call list for any self respecting music loving viola bookers I reckon He's not doing anything for quality music, just turning out lurid karaoke crap. An egg is the least she could have done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 It was a very awkward moment, as i think the only way it could have been more obvious that it was staged is if the georgie fellas had announced her as the egg wielding viola player (which incidently sounds like a decent act). The whole show is a joke, and the fact that a non-British talent won the show sort of sums the whole thing up really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a limit to how many repeats of Grand Designs and Foyle's War that one can digest. I do agree, though, that BGT is utter rubbish - although holding a rabid fanaticism for The Voice, while not quite agreeing with all the judges' preferences.
