It appears that Rugby Yawnion
fans are up in arms about the World Cup theme
music, sung by a certain Paloma Faith (Who she? Ed.).
Opinion is hinting that the
songstress has drawn a blank, as it were… Una Paloma
Blanca? Hotcha… hotcha… hotcha!
I gave it a
listen for a few seconds, and it came across as pretentious, tuneless screaming…
so what’s new in popular music?
However, Faith has shrugged
off the criticism, saying: "I mean I'm quite pleased with it, so that's
all that matters really.”
Well… no it doesn’t
actually… as all you amateur Thespians
out there know, because you pay attention to what the class acts have to say
about performing, don’t you?
We did work – and worked extremely hard at our routines
– so that the final result appeared effortless, and the audience appeared
merely to be eavesdropping on us having a good time.' Ernie Wise
If you're a
comic you have to be nice. The audience has to like you. Fanny Brice
I'm honest with my audiences. I never fool them… the
public has learned that I will be there with every ounce of entertainment I can
give. I respect my public. May Irwin
Entertainment is about people, on both sides of the
footlights – performers and their audience. Al Read
A joke makes people laugh. An entertainer performs for
people. The audience is supreme.
Gene Perrett
Let a fellow try to outsmart his audience and he
misses. Stan Laurel
An audience is never wrong. An individual member of it
may be an imbecile, but a thousand imbeciles together in the dark… that is
critical genius. Billy Wilder
