Ok, i'm not exactly unpatriotic, but when it comes to talent...i don't really know how to say this in a nice way...so i'll just say it....Australia sucks!

When the series "Australias got talent" was on Channel 7 i used to watch it thinking, here we go, finally some quality television to give me a break from the relentless onslaught of Big Brother-esque reality television or super confusing dramas. I was hoping to be entertained and even amazed by what i would see. I gotta say i wasn't either. I mean half of the "acts" were freakshows and it felt like i was watching a circus rather than a talent search...

So imagine my surprise when i came across this on the British version of the show called "Britains got talent", thinking it'd be much the same, and found myself totally blown away, and for the first time in my life...appreciating opera.

Watch...





Then i thought, yeah i'll search youtube the source of all goodness to see if this was a once off freakshow or whether they actually do have talent. To my amazement, Britains really got talent.

Acts like l'il Conn'ie were amaz'in....





Dominic blew me away with his smooth tones..





And the animated choir made me laugh...






The man with the monkey was far better than anything i saw on the aussie version..







So finally, not to diss Herb too much..cos i think it actually takes a bit of talent to do what he does...i know i wouldn't be able to blow a tune on a gu leaf.....but if this is the MOST talented person in Australia...then Australia.... we have a problem....
