Hubby and I spent the day (and most of the night!) at a friends wedding yesterday. Needless to say, we didn’t get much sleep and definately drank too much. Feeling much the worse for wear I swore that when I came onto my pc tonight I would just do the essential stuff then switch it off and have an early night. As if!

While checking my google alerts I came across a link to the Google idol site. Being a huge X Factor and American idol fan I was immediately hooked.

Basically the idea is that people have recorded themselves (and their friends) lip synching to a song of their choice and submitted it to the Google idol competition via Google Video.

The videos are then judged by a panel and voted on by the public. The competiton is in its semi final stages at the minute.

Some of the videos are absolutely hilarious! I especially loved Pomme & Kelly performing “Respect” by Aretha Franklin and Anthony & Katy doing “Since you been gone” by Kelly Clarkson. I’m not the sort of person who laughs out loud at TV shows and the like but this had me rolling about the floor. I spent the evening choosing my favourites then making hubby watch them all again with me, then trawling the web for more information.

I even toyed with the idea of doing my own video, but deep in my heart I realise that I am just not funny enough. I can’t wait to see who wins and then the competition will begin all over again!
