When the last series of Made In Chelsea drew to an end, Louise Thompson and Spencer Matthews were building bridges and had turned a corner in their relationship.
They seemed all loved up, even though Spencer had to break the heart of his best friend Jamie Laing to land the pretty brunette, but just a few weeks later, despite all the drama he caused on the reality TV show, he announced that they had already split and blamed a series of ‘petty’ arguments on the break up.
It all sounded a little bit suspicious to us, especially as rumours had been circulating that the hunk was to be the new star of the Channel 5 series ‘The Bachelor.’

Jazz singer and songwriter Jamie Cullum reckons that Sky1 talent show Must Be The Music was axed because it wasn’t “cruel” enough to the contestants.
Speaking to The Sun’s TV Biz, Jamie said of the show ending, “Not enough people watched it.
“Maybe it wasn’t cruel enough.
“The inherent drama in those shows is the human interest element – when you see people with their screws loose getting pushed around by people who should know better.
“That’s what’s enjoyable about those shows, no matter how much we don’t want to admit it.”
Do you think that’s true? I’m inclined to agree with him. Read more & comment »

The Pictures were the fourth act to take to the Must Be The Music stage tonight.
The show is airing live from Wembley Arena and the boys were determined to prove to Jamie Cullum and the massive crowd, that they are original enough to win the prize tonight.
They opted to perform their audition song ‘Earthly Treasures’ for the final show and we loved the whole vibe and feeling on stage. Weirdly we thought we heard a bit of an Irish lilt at times……weird because the boys are all from London! The lead break on violin was amazing and a little bit Led Zepplin-esque we thought!

Irish teenager Daithi took the Wembley stage in the Must Be The Music final tonight.
The violinist combines his fiddle and a recording loop station to create distinctive sounds for his music. His last track, played on the show’s semi final, reached number three in the alternative UK music charts earlier this month.
Tonight, Daithi played a composition named CI, after his girlfriend Ciara who celebrates her birthday today. We quite liked him, we love his energy and he definitely knows how to work a stage. However, for us, Daithi just didn’t compare to the two acts who preceded him (Pepper and Piano and Missing Andy) and we don’t see him winning tonight.

Dizzee Rascal has admitted that he has no problem Must Be The Music being compared to The X Factor but insists that his show is better.
The ‘Bonkers’ star is preparing for this Sunday’s final of the Sky One Talent show and points to the fact that they promote their artist’s songs on iTunes, allow them to keep all of the profits and give them complete control over what material they perform, to prove that his show is more credible and beneficial to the music industry than the ITV juggernaut.

Must Be The Music judge Sharleen Spiteri, has claimed that X Factor bosses should never have used auto-tuning on their contestants voices.
As the Texas star prepares for this Sunday’s MBTM final, in which Daithi, Emma’s Imagination. Hero, Missing Andy, Pepper and Piano and The Picture will compete for the £100,000 prize, she hit out at the rival ITV show which famously used voice altering technology on it’s first audition show.
Sharleen told The Sun:

11 year old Hero performed on tonight’s Must Be The Music semi final.
The young singer has already earned enough from busking to record her own album but wants to win the MBTM prize money so that she can afford to purchase her own harp too.
Tonight she sang her own composition ‘Swept Away,’ which the judges first heard at her initial audition. Hero previously admitted that the song was dedicated to a boy she met on holiday, who took her phone number but never called when they returned home.
