Yellen Degenerates

Yuck yuck and thrice yuck. The normally erudite, savvy and downright tasteful Ellen DeGeneres just blotted her copybook by inviting the Devil's spawn James Blunt onto her show. Apparently, 'You're Beautiful' is Ellen's favourite new song (precisely what did you listen to in 2005, Ellen?) and there he was, performing with those stalker eyes, delivering his heartfelt ode to a girl who sensibly rejected him. Not only is the song sickly sweet and thus vomit inducing but he writes his languid lyrics to fit in with his American audience. And so where 'underground' should be, we now found ourselves in a 'subway'. I mean, I'll all for fitting in to your surroundings but have some pride man! Do you walk on sidewalks or pavements? Open the boot or trunk? And, crucially, use or omit the letter 'u' when spelling certain words? Don't know about you, but I feel he's found "favor" over here precisely because of the lack of "color" in his life. Well, we all know one universal four letter word that contains a 'u' in it James and you can add "off" to that my friend. Almost as bad, however, was the mainly female crowd who shrieked and shrilled throughout his performance. Ellen made their year by informing said rabble that they'd be leaving with a copy of his album. Cue mass pandemonium but, in this world of complimentary CD's, you get what you don't pay for. Unhappy listening...
