'Let It Shine'; the BBC's answer to replacing 'The
Voice' was kicked into the groin of ITV hoping
to impress all with its man hunt for a boy band
that sounds worse than the manufactured
monstrosity known as Take That and in the
process win a chance to appear in a musical
based on these malignant cunch of bunts
Another panel of judges led by sausage look a
like Gary Barlow sit down wafting through shit
after hit with nothing for us to to look forward
to other than death itself The show seems to
ignore what people want and decides that there

television companies make a desperate scramble to clone their previous works dumb down the
public even more and in doing so alienate actual music talent by pretending it doesn't exist What
it does indicate is that they are worried; people are waking up to real bands real gigs real
Saturday nights out at music venues and real talent When you see as many awful talent shows
as this popping up it signals that they are in a real state of emergency to control the masses
