Wildcard Speculation

Grace Dent described Diva Fever as "sounding like a rough fight in an alley behind the Vauxhall Tavern" which i think rather talks them up somehwhat...

I hope TreyC gets through. She's got that gritted teeth determination and work ethic that La Lorenzo had. I think she'd really enjoy the competition and thrive on it.
I hope TrayC gets through but I think Paije has it in the bag.
I really do like Paije and think out of all of them (now Gamu seems definately out) he is probably the only one who could win the wildcard place and stand a real chance of winning the whole thing... however I think he could also quite easily come back next year, TrayC I fear may not.

Diva Fever were great last night.
Wagner was NOT.
Paije was fantastic, if a little empty.
TreyC was great, but she's so distant from the audience in every sense, it's slightly cringeworthy.

I think Treyc was just not comfortable or happy with that horrendous hooker meets Bet Lynch outift that she was forced to wear.She could not move and the necklaces hanging off her were a distraction.I think she did a clear, emotive and one of the best performances of One that I have heard though.

Actually, she reminded me more of Prince William's girlfriend from the Little Miss Jocelyn show (hair-wise).

Well, your post is even more rude if you think ' C H A V ' is a derogatory term, so look at yourself before you start judging me. I said "reminded me" hence it won't necessarily remind you of it, nor did I say that the character resembles TreyC exactly (which it doesn't.)benm said:
Hmpf!

What a brilliant post. Well done you.
It's not Diva Fever making you ashamed. It's your self-loathing and the fact you've been conditioned by gay society to believe that any gay man who is outré or camp is 'a bad gay'.
Here's a solid gold factlet for you: you know how on TV most gay characters are 'straight-acting'? The clue's in the word 'acting'; there are plenty of camp gay men out there. It may be a stereotype, but they do exist in large number, and no amount of internalised homophobia is going to change that.
Fluorescent pink cycling shorts and sparkly purple suits are slightly beyond discussions of camp, really. There's nothing wrong with being camp but that was pushing it to a faintly deranged level i'd say.
They shouldn't be there because they're crap, is the real issue. I didn't find them entertaining, just cringey in the same way that Same Difference, Jedward and that boyband who did 'I Don't Feel Like Dancing' were. When I watch those performances I wonder why anyone (gay or straight) would willingly go along with it.

Calm down and quit bawling, as I've said in the Diva Fever thread, it's not them being camp that I dislike, it's the fact that it just reminds me that the general public do not take gay people seriously at all and just like to have them around as big poofy fun things that like to dance. This was displayed from the minute these boys auditioned. Ignoring their Beatles song and the fact that they have decent voices, they've been reduced to dancing around to Boney M in neon spandex.
Some of us have degrees and aspirations, and it doesn't help when the stereotype that all we do is dance around with a feather boas is being shoved in our faces so all we contend with in our lives are girls who want to be our pals cos we're SO FUN and nobody taking us seriously ever.
But thanks for your amazing analysis on my self-loathing and social conditioning.
