Diversity wins Britain’s Got Talent, Susan Boyle comes second

Well I would have thought that the result was a given, obviously not.

Diversity wins Britain’s Got Talent final

After watching Diversity perform in the final, I must say that it was an incredibly hard choice, Susan Boyle or Diversity. I guess Susan’s career and future has already been set, so I wasn’t that upset that Susan Didn’t come first.

Susan Boyle comes second in Britain’s Got Talent

Susan Boyle is an amazing talent and she is certainly no loser, she is destined for a wonderful career in music.

Wes Carr - Feels Like Woah

Feels Like Woah by Wes Carr is one of my favourite songs, I really love the fresh rock sound, a little like a softer version of Cold Chisel or Bruce Springsteen. Wes may have come from Australian Idol, but he is definintely not a manufactured musician, he has real talent.

Susan Boyle has done it again, with a wonderful performance of Memory from the musical Cats. Susan has completely stunned the world with her amazing voice and is surely the favourite to take out the final of Britain’s Got Talent.

Snake gets a free ride

A Sydney snake has got itself a free ride. The Green Tree Snake appeared from a vent near the windscreen while Lou Lineker and her family were travelling towards the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The family had nowhere to pull over at the time and the snake stayed in view for about 5 minutes before it disappeared back where it came from. When the family returned home and looked for the snake it was gone.

Paraplegic David Blancarte healed by miracle spider bite

This seems to be an amazing story, but I am sure that CNN would not have run it if it didn’t have some form of truth to it. You make up your own mind.

Lego Donkey Kong, a retro masterpiece

Donkey kong was always the game I wanted as a kid, but it was $39.95 in about 1982-83, which for all of you people less then 30 years old was a crap load of money back then. I ended up getting a less expensive octapus game instead, I think it cost about $12-$15 and was OK but oh to have owned Donkey Kong.

Anyway a few of my friends owned it and I got to play from time to time.

Below is a working lego version that I found on Gearfuse.com a really neat site that I hadn’t seen until recently.

How to open your beer in Australia

This ad was used quite a few years ago when promoting the Beer but also the Rugby Union contests between Australia and New Zealand. It’s very funny.

Fairytale of New York by Tex Perkins and Clare Bowditch

We have shown Fairytale of New York on Getalookatthis before and so some of you may have seen it already. In this post I would just like to add another version of the song. This time I have added the version by Tex Perkins ( Former lead singer of The Cruel Sea ) and Clare Bowditch ( another home grown Australian talent ). The duet by Tex and Clare was performed during a Rockwiz Christmas Special in December 2007.

For those of you who don’t know, Rockwiz is an Australian show aired on SBS Television. The show is a Rock Quiz ( hence the name Rockwiz ) and includes 2 teams each with 2 audience members and 1 musician who then answer a number of rock and music questions. It would have to be one of my favourite alltime shows, along with ABC Television’s equivalent show called Spicks and Specks. Anyway enough rambling and back to the music, enjoy!
