Tommy Reilly - Gimme a Call (I was sent this tripe...)

So this little soft-voiced fellow is the best thing that the Orange Unsigned Act had to offer? Well then that’s proof, isn’t it? These supposed “alternative” talent shows are no better at churning out the same mindless trollop as x-factor and pop idol. Do they take pride in glorifying the talent-absent hopeless cases who appear on their show? Who knows and who cares. It appears evident that it’s just another way to highlight how television puts these creative lacking morons on a pedestal of advertising and company exposure.

We can completely disregard Tommy Reilly after this simpleton folk tripe has graced our air waves. His dully penned debut lacks any graspable substance and I think its agreeable that it would sound more at home in a school hall where his acne-covered cohorts can cheer him on before his third period science class. What is clear however, is that these mind-numbing programs are just another way to boost the already gargantuan egos of the celebrity-come-clueless judges who pander around act after act as if they’re fucking John Peel!

So what needs to happen? Well to start lets take these chart derby dullards off the air with their helpless criticism and their shameless self promotion - It‘s sickening and your no better than Sharon Osborne! Secondly there’s already too many thoughtless teenagers documenting their aching aggression with acoustic guitars. It’s cliché and its tired out, but probably more importantly, there’s people doing it better than Reilly, it’s just they didn’t lower themselves to appear on such a documented hopeless case of a program. On your bike Reilly, your time is over, and it’s a shame that it ever came at all.
