"Faking It last night"

That was very amusing, seeing all the 'bad-boy gangsta' types making a fool of the Lawyer man. Almost as cringeworthy as The Office, seeing him make a fool of himself and really look like an Outcast. And then he mucked up at the Nightclub..

Class stuff :-D

The mentor, creed, was the reason for georges ineptitude. The scene in which he was trying to get george to come in on the beat was tearful. It wasnt the fact that george could not get it, because i was listening to his timing and he could get it. The fact is that creed could not explain to him the concept of counting to 4. In my opinion, anyone who is in the music business apart from the paper filers and cleaners has to be able to count to 4. Creed, in my opinion, was not the right person to teach george, as he diddn't know himself.

I also laughed when Creed buggered off for a week and left george with the 'payg' crew. That was really funny, seeing these kids dress him up in tweety pie gear, but more annoying was that his mentor gave up on him and left him with a bunch of kids. The trip to jamaica was also a waste of time. i wonder if channel 4 paid?

Because of creeds complete uselessness, i thought george was gonna fail. if he had a mentor that used his whole <> instead of half of it, he might have done it.

But then he did win!

I never thought of faking it as a fix until now.

Apart from all the stuff above, there was another obvious flaw. Goatboy will agree with me here, that being in the music industry kind of forces a music knowledge on you. You hear about up and coming acts, you see a lot of local stuff and if someone is breaking into the big then you know. The three other people on the competition night were currently playing in places that even i had heard of, and I don't follow the garage scene. Surely the judges would have heard of the acts before?

Faking it is a class series: I thought the easiest (and worst) episode was when the bloke had to become a "modern artist". He succeeded to fool the "experts" with renderings so inept a colour blind five year old would say they were pants.

Talking of rappers though:

I wanna be a Rapstar
Don't copy me on Napster
I really own a Hamster

I hate rappers that just rhyme for the sake of it...

I also hate kids rapping full stop. Even worse is when Dazza raps "School dinners are cool dinners, school dinners are for winners" (emphasing the rhyming words in the couplets with his unberable stretched larynx) in front of everyone in assembly (that takes me back), to the accompaniment of his mate Spod, spitting into his cupped hands in an attempt to be a human beat box.

I missed it - will there be a repeat anytime soon?

My favourite 'Faking It' was Ed Devlin the chef. Best. Faking it. Ever.

All i remember was the ministry of sound bit. I had subtitles up while i was watching it. I went like this:

MC Justice: "If you are having a great time say 'bo'"
Subtitles: "Muted response"

He really embarrased himself in the Ministry of Sound.
