"And I'm like WTF"

  • April 9, 2010
  • Popjustice

Meet US 'singer' Brandon Hilton.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO SPELL OUT THE H T T P COLON SLASH SLASH W W W DOT TWITTER DOT COM SLASH NAME IN FULL!

THERE'S NOBODY ELSE IN THAT ROOM, IT'S AN OFF-CAMERA NOBODY THAT MAKES MASTERCHEF LOOK LIKE THE LAST WORD IN OBJECTIVE DOCUMENTARY MAKING!!

THAT CURTAIN ISN'T VERY NICE!!!

Meanwhile, in unrelated but oddly similar news, here's the video for Starman's 'I Don't Wanna Dance'.

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZVWHIpiSJg

The song's not quite as bad as you think it might be, is it? Yet, at the same time, it's still extremely bad. 

Overseas readers may not imme­di­ately grasp how cul­tur­ally mean­ing­ful the Starman video is. Basically there's this show running on British TV (well, Sky) at the moment — it's a docusoap based around Pineapple Dance Studios in Covent Garden. It is the greatest tele­visual achieve­ment of 2010.

This clip intro­duces Andrew Stone, and Starman.

Here's a meeting with a bigwig.

And we couldn't let a mention of Pineapple Dance Studios go by without a bit of this.
