Reality TV satire beats the real thing
p2pnet news view TV | Music:- “If the British public have all bought a CD by a man dressed as a female transvestite singing a song about every reality TV show cliché, it proves that the British public have had enough of reality TV.”
The quote comes in the story in Britain’s The Independent saying comedian Peter Kay thrashed X Factor winner Leon Jackson with a parody.
The X Factor is a Pop Idol wannabe and Kay is an English comedian, writer, producer, and actor whose work includes the immortal Possibly a New Celebrity Jesus Christ Soapstar Superstar Strictly on Ice.
Now, his single, lifted from his Channel 4 comedy Britain’s got the Pop Factor talent show satire, “performed by Kay as Geraldine McQueen, an overweight transsexual from Northern Ireland,” has beaten the unreal real thing.
“Kay has beaten X Factor winner Leon Jackson in the singles chart with his spoof reality TV show song, The Winners Song,” says the BBC, adding:
“Geraldine sent a message of consolation to Jackson. She said: ‘Leon is a lovely wee boy, he’s a Scottish Michael Buble. There’s enough room for everybody’.”
