Strombo on The One
George Stroumboulopoulos has sent members of his Myspace page a short update on his thoughts about The One:
I know that there’s a small, passionate group of people who are surprised to see me do this show, and that’s cool… I get it…
That being said, I’ve gotten a kick out of the way some of the Canadian media has reacted to me taking out my nose ring… the funny part is, they’re the same people who were freaking when I went to CBC with a nose ring in the first place. You’d think that Justin Timberlake exposed my breast on TV during a halftime show… I hope I’m never at a point where my jewellery defines me…
As for The One (The show)… the contestants can really sing the roof off the place, I’ve been blown away by some of the voices and musical ability.. I know that there were some major audio problems on TV, they seemed to have worked them out now. The house that they are living in (The Academy) is killer… And the experts (Andre Harrell, Kara Dioguardi & Mark Hudson) have been awesome to watch…. They are all so passionate about music that everyday we just shoot the shit about the industry, the songs, the artists and everything in between…
I can’t wait to ride the bike back to Canada to launch season three of The Hour.

I used to have a cat that liked to swallow the tinsel on the Christmas tree. I remember the sight of that cat passing the tinsel – reminds me of George Stroumboulopoulos. Why in the world would anyone poke holes in a perfectly good body for something as frivolous as style?
OK, that was hilarious. At about: 20 or so from Tuesday’s show the “experts” gave what Strombo called “tough love”… they then proceeded to tell the candidates that the show was crap, that they sung poorly, etc. One quote that I loved was that all of the women had to show “less breasts”.
They continued to complain about the show as they went into their next segment.
Quite the turnaround from the week before when they were just *gushing* after every performance. My god, do they not think the audience has no memory? Or are they assuming anyone watching this week didn’t watch last week?
Come to think of it, that’s probably a good bet.
BTW, in case anyone’s wondering… the singing isn’t much better.
I still think Austin Carroll is going to win. Maybe I should vote…

there’s a “spotlight on George” now (in the left hand column). I don’t know how long it’ll stay on abc’s front webpage, so here’s the direct link:

I’m just glad he spelt jewellery with two L’s and not with one (jewelry) – the U.S. way.
It’s a small thing – but it’s a good thing.
