    so true, like the ads using sick kids and animals, get you to part with your money..

    oh yes the lady has got guts to go and sing in front of such a big crowd and be filmed for tv.

    as for the producers, i wonder if it was the same ones who were producers on 'soap stars super stars' where the producers ignored the telephone votes of the public and decided to keep the star who they thought would make a better tv show

    and amanda holden , poor les dennis , they married when she was 24 and he was 40. They separated following her affair with actor Neil Morrissey

    ...and what's wrong with a big age difference??? How many of us have much younger wives. Obviously we hope they don't run off with younger blokes.

    I am pleased that none of my TV licence money goes to subsidize this pile of rubbish.
    The BBC is no better and hate to have to pay for something which is not worth.

    But there you go......

    Yes you do have a point, I must admit...

    I ceased watching TV months ago, as there was nothing really interesting on view to keep me entertained.
    I am not being difficult, it is only that I would rather watch a movie that hasn't been shown before on one channel or the other....
    Soaps have no attraction for me, chat shows only make celebrities out of nobodies that want to plug their autobiographies at the age of 21 and a 1/4....
    Decent programming is gone, I used to watch the Sopranos, but it ended.
    So now it is early nights.... Mind you Jet doesn't take too kindly having to remind me to get to bed........

    all tv is good, if it means i don't have to talk to the misses

    we don't watch soaps, why waste your life watching people pretending its real life and getting paid lots of money for it

    films, yes, don't like watching ones that have been on b4..

    mostly we watch stuff i download, legally of course

    early bed, with 2 kids and studying , not waste me life sleeping.. can do that when i'm brown bread

    I was very worried about Madonna because from all I could see she is probably here illegally! She says she arrived on a student visa to "study music". That is OK but they only last 6 months, you have to pay all your own fees and support yourself. whilst you can do a limited amount of work you are very specifically barred from working as an "entertainer". Unless there is something I have missed she may well be doing the UK Filipino community a bad disservice. As we all know her story is far from unusual and although her voice is OK it really is nothing special, not by the high standards found all over the Philippines. My Filipina wife, Connie, is also a successful singer and a very popular member of a band called "Groove Unltd". For anyone who would like to hear her go to their website grooveunltd.co.uk. They put on a really fun show and I recommend them to anyone needing a function band.

    she is suppose to have a workpermit

    from http://www.gmanews.tv/story/80421/Ma...-talent-search


    ..She was discovered last year while singing in a music lounge in Liverpool by a British couple, Steve and Judi Jones, who runs a small talent management company, Steve Jones Entertainment, and later gave her a working permit and started singing in various places in the UK.

    Well I for one downloaded and enjoyed the cip of "Donna" a lot
    I thought she has a phenomenal voice and she had the whole crowd on her side. OK, she cracked and became emotional, but who wouldn't in her position being thousands of miles away from her two kids.
    It was emotional to watch and she really did belt out that hard song to sing live.
    Good on her
    I did not see any other of the acts so can't comment....

    Madonna Decena's voice is average for me though i consider her also a good singer. I've heard a lot of filipino singers and they really have a fantastic voice. She forgot that she's not in the Phils she should not be telling sobbing stories just to win the judges/audience sympathy. It may be a cultural thing. Filipinos are well known as family oriented and they always do everythng for their families hence they always mention their love ones. Just my opinion......
    " The people who mean something to your life are not rated "the best" don't have the most money, haven't won the greatest prizes....
    They are the ones who care about you, take care of you, those who, no matter what, stay close by... "
