Do you watch this clip of Britney Spears singing 'Womanizer' on X Factor and get the same feeling you get when you see a middle aged woman walking around a pub with a pint glass getting men to chuck a quid in before unveiling her ropey tits to the 9 1/2 Weeks soundtrack on a beer soaked carpet with a solitary mirror ball?

Just me then.

 

But seriously - how can any of the contestants on X Factor take this woman seriously? Shit dancing, no singing, not even the barest attempt at showing any interest in either the show or the contestants or indeed the audience. At least Girls Aloud had the chutzpah to sing live (badly) in the verses when they appeared (leaving those tricky chorus notes to that good old uncle DAT).

 

As Johnny Vaughan used to say when he was funny - "A sham of a mockery of a mockery of a sham."

 

Up yer game, Britters, at least hitting a car with an umbrella was original.
