Rejoice... Rejoice... and Again I say Rejoice

Amen. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord.

Everyone... Elvis has left the building.

Ok, maybe not Elvis, but Diana Vickers certainly has and that is reason enough for me to be elated. I mean, who told her to use four letter words on national TV before watershed? I have been told she actually said 'ship', but anyone who watched that performance will be able to tell you that that is not the case.

For the past few weeks, I have been going on and on and on about how she needs to go home, and it seems that God has blessed me with a belated birthday present. There will be no more homeless tinkerbell looking, straggled cat sounding, Worzel Gummidge hybrid gracing my Saturday evening TV screen, and I really cannot put into words the joy I felt when it was announced that she was leaving.

But now she has left, we can concentrate on more positive things. I mean how great is Alexandra? She is phenomenal. I mean, I wouldn't buy her album but I do confess, I would probably download it. She is good enough to grace a bigger stage already, and after some coaching and further mentoring, she could very well become a global superstar. She was given two very difficult songs to sing, and nailed them both. Having watched many talent shows, I can honestly say, not many people even attempt to perform Toni Braxton's 'Unbreak My Heart', let alone not manage to leave me crying tears of laughter at them when they have finished. I seriously suggest if you haven't seen any of Alexandra Burke's performances you search for her on You Tube.

Well... I am off to watch the Footie.

Liverpool won. Diana Vickers has gone home.

It must be my birthday all over again!
