Scratch Out Your Eyes
The New Zealand edition of Star In Their Eyes started just over a month ago, to be honest I wasn’t that interested in watching it until I read this scathing review which said that the show was basically shit, there was an “appalling lack of talent” and that the worst performers were winning - that’s exactly the kinda television I live for. So I finally got around to checking it out this past Tuesday and it was everything I dreamed it would be, fucking shocking, I loved it!
Meet Emmeline Pitcher, contestant from episode 6, she is a solo mother of two from Hamilton, she sold her home to pursue a career in music and became a professional “singing telegram” (LOL). She performed “Turn Back Town” by Cher, it was fucking terrible and her outfit was outright vulgar. Anyways, it was pretty clear to me that she didn’t have a fucking hope of winning this shit, especially since there were some fairly spot on impersonations of Amy Winehouse and James Taylor on the same show… well whaddyaknow she won, haha, she’s gonna be in the grand final, can’t wait.
Here’s a link to her winning performance: Emmeline Pitcher as Cher ’Turn Back Town”

oh yeah, I simultaneously love and hate this show…I always end up watching it after Coro St, tehe..but she was awful!! Amy Winehouse chic was the only good singer I’ve seen on that show - and Cher was utter faeces.

Still I think my favourite shitty NZ TV moment has to be Blair Strang rapping Jay-Z’s verse from Crazy In Love, bwahaha

But LOL @ “Cher’s” outfit… and at her pronunciation of “time”….
