We're Backing Kim Susanne! 

You know, sometimes it would be nice not to be right all the time, but as we predicted, we backed Kim and she has now been voted out of the Pop Idol contest for reasons best known to the mysterious world of the minds of the Great British public. We are rather disappointed by this as she was incredibly ace and was one of the few people in the show who actually looked like she was enjoying herself on stage. Grr for your bad voting abilities. Grr!

Anyway, as a result of her premature exit, we have decided to transfer the black curse of being our favourite on to Susanne, which, once again, we apologise for. Susanne, too, is rather fab, even if the Judges are constantly, and extremely patronisingly, describing her as quirky. Quirky presumably being their word for someone who actually has a personality. She's got a great voice, is extremely beautiful and actually looks like someone who would stand out amongst the blandness which seems to be a pre-requisite for being a solo pop star these days. Unfortunately, however, our backing has now doomed her to failure and a lifetime of singing in dodgy pubs and clubs, looking back on what might have been while cursing our name under her breath. A massive disappaointment, not only for her, but for us as well. So, please, do us a favour. We really, really want to be wrong about this, Susanne is the only one left out of the finalists who posseses any sort of spark. Pop needs her to win. And besides, the novelty of us being wrong would be an interesting experience as well.
