The Jive Aces are OK, I mean if you hired them for your teenage kid’s birthday party and paid then £50 you’d be pretty happy. They have performed together hundreds, if not thousands of times, and this shows as they are quite polished.
But clearly they aren’t good enough to shine in a national contest.
And their performance showed a typical cultic naïveté. They performed a lively rendition of a song from Disney’s ‘The Jungle Book’ for their audition. Anyone with a bit of common sense would have told them that they needed to up their game and do something a bit extra. And different.
So, what did they choose?
Another song from the same film, a ‘Bare Necessities / I Wan’na Be Like You’ mash-up. So immediately, the judges think, “Oh, they only perform Disney. Boring.”
Actually, I’m a bit disappointed that they got kicked off, I was looking forward to them appearing in the spotlight and some awkward questions being asked about their ‘church’.
But, no doubt they will be consoling themselves with the thought that clearly their music is far too theta and high-toned for the degraded wog public who just aren’t uptone enough to even be able to vote for them.
