My Voice on the Logies 2012

Firstly how great was Adam Hills being honest about channel 10's desperate attempt to create interest in the failing station with the Shire? Who gives a fuck what people from God's Country are up too. Anyone remember the Cronulla riots?

I was nervous for Channel Nine sitting down to my first outing of free to air TV in ages. Thank god for the Internet.

The Voice started off with what I can only describe as a dull judging panel and some more singers hoping for a little bit more success than Natalie Gauci or poor old Wes Carr.

Does Australia really need anymore talent shows? Young Talent Time, X Factor & Australia's Got Talent surely have us covered? Were a country with a population of just under 23 million and with many series of Idol past, who could forget Popstars (Scandal'us Anyone?) and X Factor kicking back off plus Australia's Got Talent. I don't want to be a stick in the mud, but really another show? And really Delta.

My thoughts were, it lacks something, I recently watched three episodes of the English version and I was rather bored, so I am not sure about this Aussie version, it's a gamble, Seal hasn't been popular since Kiss from a Rose, Keith Urban has never had much of an audience here and Delta, OMG! The guy from Good Charlotte also seems very outta place.

Now to the Logies and Adam Hills was the highlight for sure! One Direction proved they are killing it! And Packed to the Rafters dominance shows Australians are happy to watch a boring family exist through boring story lines.

Good to see the ABC doing well as they seem to be the only station putting forward new and exciting Australian series such as the Slap.

After my night of being bombed by comercials for reality shows (the god awful Celebrity Apprentice - Patti Newton - go put your son out of his misery and drop him in a loony bin & 7 O Block - fuck me sideways, I would prefer to do an exchange with the Bali Nine than watch that), listening to painful cross promotion and seeing some awkward behavior.

Thank god for Kath & Kim.

Anyway The Logies and the Voice, what a night, glad it's Monday morning really.
