Starmania

Due to the fact that last Friday evening was free from lectures and laboratory courses I had the “chance” to apply myself to the “extraordinary well done and praised” show on Austrian TV, to Starmania. My own wife, I thought I never would forgive her, persuaded me to switch to ORF1 at 10 pm with the intention to grant us a relaxing and maybe entertaining TV-evening. Additionally I opened a bottle of an excellent French wine. While I had been pouring the wine in the glasses the first candidate finished his performance. It was the first time on this evening that I thought that a worse wine would suit the evening much better. Anyway, I didn’t want to spoil the evening for my wife. But, the longer the show took the more awful the songs were presented. With the questions after every performance, recited by graceful Arabella, the show hit the rock bottom. From my point of view the really highlights of last Starmania were the unsparing and plain statements of Mr. Eder where he balanced accounts with the majority of the participants. He rescued the evening with his pin sharp comments as well as my wife as she asked me to switch off the TV-set after the 7th “pop-star”. She told me that she was not prepared for spending the evening with such bullshit, ups! At this moment I loved her for her tough stance.
