So the final of 'Let it shine' happened and it was.... odd.
Robbie Williams was meant to be appearing as a guest judge but he hurt his back so would only perform instead (?) so we got a new guest judge.
Peter Kay. The comedian. I'm not sure who came up with that idea. It was a mixture of hilarity and car crash in equal measures.
He came out dressed as Honey G, the 'X Factor' contest (the resemblance was freaky. I am convinced that he is Honey G) and when he was asked what kind of judge he would be, he replied "inadequate".
And then he kept mentioning ITV shows. Good publicity that. It was on the BBC.
Martin Kemp said that he never thought that they'd find a band that were talented (he obviously had high hopes for the show) and Gary Barlow said during the audition rounds that to audition for a music theatre show, he didn't want any musical theatre songs yet tonight he had the bands singing musical theatre.
I thought the band that won were the obvious one to win. But in the defence of 'drive', they had my favourite singers in but they were 2 bands put into one, and I thought that was an unfair thing to do. The other 2 bands were together for longer and the lads in 'drive' voices didn't really compliment each other, but the judges made that decision.
I don't know what I thought of the show. I know that, in my opinion, the audition was too drawn out but the live shows didn't feel enough. I dont think 3 live shows was enough. It felt rushed and I didn't feel invested in the groups.
I did like all 3 judges and the guest judges. They all added some thing.
My favourite thing about the final? I Robbie rejoining Take That (again) and Michael Ball and Alfie Boe singing. I couldnt help but think though, as I watched 2 west end legends, that some of these lads were out of their depths.
Good luck to 'five to five' (who picked the bands name? We had a band called neon panda, which sounds like a nightclub, not a boyband) They werent my favourite but I wish them, and the show, the best of luck.
