I’m normally not a big fan of shows like American Idol or America’s Got Talent but I do like to see disasters as they occur. Who can forget memorable performances like William Hung’s version of She Bangs? These types of things are pure entertainment for me. I know that by admitting this, I run the risk of appearing to be a huge jerk but I know I’m not the only one because TV producers keep giving us these train wrecks.
Yesterday I received a link from my boss telling me to check it out but to not be judgmental. It was a video clip of a 47-year-old British cat lady that is in severe need of a lip waxing from Britain’s Got Talent. In my mind, the producers of this show set her up to be a complete crazy, a la 75% of the people on the first six episodes of American Idol every season that think they have talent but really don’t. Given my desire to see some good public humiliation, I watched it expecting to see her get run off of the stage within a few minutes. Boy was I wrong.
My boss told me not to judge and, despite my best efforts, I judged. Sometimes it’s so hard not to be judgmental but when we are, we run the risk of missing something really cool. I learned a bit of a lesson. I hope you have too Judgie McJudger.

It looked like Simon was in love. I liked your Judgie McJudger comment, cept when I say it, I add a “son” at the end…so, it’s Judgie McJudgerson.
Very nice.
Okay, Okay…thanks for making me cry! (I blame it on the pregnancy hormones). I absolutely LOVED the stunned looks on the judges faces – and it’s not very often you see Simon smile so big!
Susan Boyle is an exceptionally talented lady who’s been subjected to considerable ridicule in the media. IMHO she deserves every bit of success that she is experiencing.
