So, as the majority of you from the UK will know, The X Factor is now well under way, and today was the first live show. For those reading from other countries - you'll know what X Factor is - the US get there's come next September....
Now, people say The X Factor is always taken a little too seriously. We've had, so far this season, Gamu and the deportation row, Cheryl's malaria, Dannii's baby, Shirlena's mad dancing and then being kicked off, Cher going through despite breaking down, and Katie forgetting the words - twice. And we've only just begun....
So what we needed was a good dose of fun. With nearly 15m people watching the show every week, someone needed to come in, and just make everyone laugh and enjoy themselves. With the original 12 finalists, there wasn't anyone like that, but with the 4 wildcards, WAGNER returned, and normality was restored.....
Supposedly.
Now Wagner, or Male Shakira as he is known on my Twitter feed, is a retired PE teacher, who originates from Brazil. He isn't the greatest of singers, but he's certainly game for a laugh. Tonight, he performed a mash-up of 'She Bangs', by Ricky Martin, and 'Love Shack', by the B52's. Complete with 4 females fondling themselves, bongos, staging that was bright orange, and a maroon velvet jacket. I mean, come on!
I love Wagner - I think he's brilliant. He doesn't know any of the songs Louis has picked for him so far, but has given them his best shot, and you can tell he is having fun. I really hope the British public keep him in for a while just so he can keep this buzz round the show alive, before we get all serious again.
So, WAGNER, good luck, and you are the Day Dedicatee for Saturday 9th October 2010.
