I thoroughly enjoyed the recent one-off special on the lesser-known works of Vivaldi that she wrote and presented for Radio 3. <BR/><BR/>Here's the thing; She might have Grade 8 Violin, Cello and Kazoo. She might be a qualified neurosurgeon. She might have translated every episode of late-80s Peter Egan gentle-com Joint Account into Esperanto. However, the career path she's chosen does seem to shun those talents in favour of the less-cerebral putting-hands-over-breasts-so-Zoo-magazine-can-legally-call-it-a-topless-photoshoot route to fame. And now, that Music A Level has lead her to lend her voice to an Autotuned off-the-shelf track which was probably pencilled in as a follow-up single for that 'Girls of FHM' act, had their first track not bombed. <BR/><BR/>I'd be delighted if she actually used the talents she claims to have. Trouble is, just like 80% of today's 'celebrities', she's chosen to forge a career in being interviewed for Heat magazine, in which she talks candidly about her thoughts on what a fellow Big Brother contestant said last week when they were interviewed for Heat magazine. And then making ultra-softcore promo videos for the entertainment of Lynx-drenched Nuts readers who flick over to The Box when their parents have gone to bed.<BR/><BR/>Break out, Chantelle! Smash that mould! You know you can do better! Show the world that you're talented by actually using those talents! Even if it means recording a 'Violin Songs From The Adverts' album which troubles the lower end of the Classic FM chart for two weeks. Do it! Show us you're better!<BR/><BR/>Maybe change your name too. I keep confusing you with that dullard who married Preston.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
