Disappointment

Well...

I will live, I promise...

Life can be such a disappointment sometimes...

You know how I love to watch all those 'kick someone out each week' kind of programmes?

Well.. I knew from last year when I was here for the xFactor final that that format was very similar to the one I saw in the UK. I think the UK version was much better though because of the fighting of the famous judges, the Dutch ones didn't reach the same emotion I think. It wasn't as huge a success here as xFactor is in the UK.

Anyway!

Remember there was also one where Andrew Lloyd Webber chose a 'Maria' for the Sound of Music musical they wanted to produce? And this year they looked for Josef and his coat?

Well.. we have that too now but then looking for Evita, absolutely brilliant in itself but only now it becomes apparent how one gets cheated with those programmes.

It was all so exciting with the search for Maria which was the first one. You saw the audition episode and a very worried Andrew Lloyd Webber saying to everybody how worried he was that there wasn't enough talent to go around and how this whole idea would blow up in his face.

And of course.. silly me, the exact same thing, even the exact same setting was repeated when I was watching the Dutch version of this programme and the Dutch musical mogul was looking worried and was saying that it would be merely impossible to find someone out of those people auditioning.

I must admit... it takes the shine of the whole thing.

Is this the first step to being cured?

Hope not.
