Who has been tuning in? I've been watching but I can't say I've particularly enjoyed it. Some of the naff acts are getting through - which makes it a bit more entertaining - but I honestly believe Britain does not have talent judging from what I've witnessed this week.

FINALLY! I shall now vent my anger.

Monday-

Ronan is obviously good. He's like ten and everyone's going on about him being gay, which is really mean. Although, very true. His version of Adele's song was amazing. He has a good chance in the final, but it all depends on his song choice.

Paul Blahblahbedabagedi was pretty good. I didn't like his semi final performance too much, but his audition was amazing. I hope he does a really fast piece in the final.

Joe the Biker was pretty good. He seemed like a decent guy and stuff. Not sure it was that exciting after you've seen it a few times though. I reckon the right two people did go through.

Tuesday-

Jean Martin- SMILING IDIOT. CAN PLAY AN ORGAN OKISH BUT I DO NOT LIKE HER. Meh.

New Bounce- A load of annoying 10 year olds standing on boxes and singing bloody JESSIE MEHHING J. No.

Wednesday-

I don't remember. I know it wasn't the bloody bell ringers though (THANK GOD). Oh, wait.

Ballet dancer guy- He was good. Not my sorta thing but the kid seemed nice.

Impressionist- Paul Burling off of last year is so much better. This Les guy is still pretty good though.

Thursday-

Jai- BREATHTAKINGLY AWESOME. I was expecting to hate him, but then he came out with that Evanescence tune and I was instantly OMASM'd. It all depends on his song choice in the final. I hope his does something similar, but it has to be even better. I liked when the doors opened and the choir started singing behind him. Amezzin'.

Stephen Hall- Cosistantly funny, I do like, but I'm with The Hoff on this one. Prefered Edward Reid.

Edward Reid- Amezzin'. Camp and awesome. Loves it.

Out Of The Blue- Good. Reminded me of Dalton Warblers off of Glee. Better than CERTAIN acts who don't deserve to be in the final.

Britain's Got More Talent-

Of course, I did watch last night's episode quite a few times, as a certain Scott Mills was on. He was looking attractive enough in blue. Not orange enough though and his nose kept distracting me.

Stephen Mulhern is beautiful, obviously. I liked him in green on Wednesday (I think). I like watching BGMT. I get quite obsessed with television. I'm hoping to go and see the BGT tour. :)

OMASM. Radio presenters are like fruit. Matt is my kumquat and Scott is blatantly my orange.

Didn't watch it this year much, only the audtions are funny and worth watching really. But I really don't like Michael McIntrye on this, he's just not funny.

And I've gone off him a bit comedy-wise as well, I've found funnier and less annoying people.

The sheep is not a creature of the air.

    • What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.
    • Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard! 
    • The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.  
    • I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly. 
    • Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...
    • Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
    • Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?
    • I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.
    • Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.
    • I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.
    • With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot.
