100 not out!

Here it is... the 100th post on the Youniverse blog! Only a millionth of the way to the number of Susan Boyle video views...

Speaking of Susan Boyle (and jumping merrily onto a bandwagon all in one go), how amazing was she on Britain's Got Talent? It's quite nice to hear a voice that's as pleasant to listen to as hers coming out of one of Simon Cowell's shows. I know Leona Lewis and Alexandra Whatshername also have belting vocals, but there's a warmth and depth to Susan's that they don't quite reach- Leona can be just too shrill at times.

But Boyle's not the only one to shine in that talent competition so far: there's been all kinds of press coverage about Shaheen Jafargholi, a Welsh boy with a "Motown voice", who is tipped to be a big challenge to her.

My personal favourite so far is Flawless, a dance troupe with amazing choreography reminiscent of Thriller-era Jacko, whose team play and hard work show through in visually breathtaking routines.

I'm aware that right now I sound like I've spent every evening on the sofa doing nothing but watch this show, but actually I've just selected clips from youtube and followed links from there. Thankfully, such is the wonder of social media, I've been able to do this show in bitesize chunks, selecting the best bits (can 100 million people be wrong?) and foregoing any cringeing. Ace.

One other routine I thought was brilliant (not quite flawless, though) was Stavros Flatley... Trust me, you just have to see it.
