Anyway, this story raised many comments about live television and the common gaffs we have all become accustomed to. Now, singer Guy Sebastian has joined Murdoch in the ranks of making a very public stuff up.
Guy Sebastian who won Australian Idol is now a judge on Australia's Got Talent. Last night I don't think Sebastian was very focused on what he was saying.
Here is a link to the article entitled 'How Guy Sebastian Blew it live on Air'...http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/television/how-guy-sebastian-blew-it-live-on-air/story-e6frfmyi-1225934678320
If your thinking this title sounds strangely sexual, your not wrong....it's meant to be!
During a live video link cross to Sebastian (who had been overseas for the week), host Luke Jacobs asked him to introduce the next act.
"I met these girls on a tour ... and they blew me away and then they walked into the audition room and blew me again", he said.
Guy Sebastians' embarrassment was visible as he put his hands up and hid his face while the expression of the other hosts was surprise and shock.
The show quickly went to ad break to let the judges compose themselves. I really don't think a big deal should be made of this as it was a clear slip of the mind and I doubt viewers would be seriously offended by it. Actually, what am I talking about? People complain about everything these days! I actually found the gaff funny and don't feel sorry for Sebastian as I did for Murdoch, as he was not making a life changing announcement. He was purely introducing a musical act and didn't quite say what he meant to say.
I have a feeling though that all those angry television viewers out there will now be complaining about the faults in live TV. It's natural, people make mistakes (hopefully they aren't ones that offend a large amount of people) but we all do it.
Until next time...
