I watched the youtube this morning and couldn't believe these two so called judges! I thought the contestant held himself together rather well and cudos to the other female judge who defended the contestant. They should never have spoken to him that way. What ever happened to 'constructive criticism' to help the contestants as the main purpose of being a judge?! I was like 'seriously lady...are you for real?!' And the husband/judge guy said some totally bizarre things! ETA: The MC guy told the contestant that the audience seemed to be supporting him. I was glad to see the support. Those two judges were, to me, absolutely CLASSLESS!

Also, has this brilliant little amendment to a heinous piece of state legislation been discussed. There is a bill similar to the Arizona one which the Arizona governor was essentially shamed into vetoing allowing businesses to not serve gay customers for religious reasons. Rep Virgin attached an amendment which requires these businesses to clearly post signs on their physical and web premises which says they do not serve gays (she includes race and gender). A sad state of affairs but a brilliant rejoinder. Oklahoma Lawmaker Wants Anti-Gay Businesses to Post “No Gays Allowed” Signs. Excellent!

Anti Discrimination bills have been introduced in many States this year. Texas Gay Man Denounces Father's Antigay, Discriminatory Bill Lawyer Beau Miller objects to his legislator father's proposal to keep Texas cities from enacting or enforcing LGBT-inclusive nondiscrimination laws. BY Trudy Ring March 09 2015 7:57 PM ET A gay lawyer in Texas is taking a stand against antigay legislation introduced by his father — and calling on others to join him. Houston attorney Beau Miller is the son of state Rep. Rick Miller, who last week introduced a bill that would prevent Texas cities and counties from enacting or enforcing LGBT-inclusive antidiscrimination ordinances. It would nullify such laws that exist in Texas cities including Houston (where a court challenge is ongoing), Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, and San Antonio, notes The Texas Observer. www.advocate.com/politics/politicians/2015/03/09/texas-gay-man-denounces-fathers-antigay-discriminatory-billAND www.advocate.com/politics/2015/03/13/texas-rep-wants-protect-antigay-bigots-conscientious-objectors

So embellishing your age I well say is more appropriate then actual lieing. BBC 2 in the uk I think targets more older listners. But BBC1 is more Top 40 Younger based.

Re Natalia Kills. If she thinks she can tell Nzlnders to I won't say what she said. Then she is in the wrong country. Her statement "I can do what I want". No you can't you have not earnt that right. Someone needs to ground her, because clearly her success has gone to her head. Sorry to get OT. But Bullying has been a big focus in NZ. And for her to make light of it in such a destructive way really annoys me. Shes no Lorde .
