but it’s quite a thing over here at the moment.
I’ve heard of this programme, but it’s not the sort of thing I watch.
It’s called “Looking for Germany’s Superstar” and it’s been around for a couple of years by all the media hype you can’t get away from.
It appears to be the equivalent of “American Idol” and whatever it’s called in the rest of the world and involves a mix of
– people with zero talent who are the butt of jokes from a panel of minor celebrities, one of whom is brutally ignorant and uncultured
– people with moderate talent who are the butt of jokes from a panel of minor celebrities, one of whom is brutally ignorant and uncultured
– people with supposed talent who are the butt of jokes from a panel of minor celebrities, one of whom is brutally ignorant and uncultured.
So Lisa Bund evidently belongs to the latter group, because they’re down to the last 3 and she’s still in.
And she’s a local girl. (Sort of, at least)
She works in Mum and Dad’s “Sock Corner” in the Augustinerstrasse, which has now become a sort of local Lourdes for the terminally starstruck, with people turning up from all over the country to leave talismans (talispeople?) for Lisa and sticking letters of praise and affection on the windows.
Honest.
I didn’t see many socks in the window, though. Mostly pretty raunchy-looking undergear.
Not that I have a clue about stuff like that……
Postscript: She got the chop last night. I’m not sure if that’s good or bad…

>Had to laugh when I read in a newspaper that “American Idol” is proof that Americans have abominable taste. Guess we’re not the only ones! PS. May I still be your friend if I refuse to give up Starbuck’s coffee?
>We have a version here. Some people are that bad, that they shouldn’t be allowed out of the house. At least you haven’t got Simon Cowall!
>It would be interesting to something of the sock shop
>I really enjoyed reading the post today about Lisa and your version of American Idol. It sounds like your version has the same nitwits onboard as judges too. I would think they are put there to arouse people and get their blood pressure up. I don’t understand why they bring on people who cannot do anything unless the judges need to get the public to agree with them that this or that person is a real dullard and they toss them off the show.Anyway. I like your picture of the performer and wonder what will now happen at the sock store where she works.Abraham LincolnBrookville Daily Photo
