The great little champ in action! Kai's wins seem even more impressive cut together like that. :D
Someone spent a lot of time putting that together.
Funky remix at the end - still listening to it. 8-)

Great stuff! Although I often wonder who has the time to put together these sort of things (unless it was someone in Kai's family)

Excellent vid. Had to stop watching it, cos I've yet to see Kai's last two programme, and I guess there would be lots of spoilers there. Will have to come back and see it later.

I liked it too, that's why I've listened to it a few times. I particularly like it around 40 seconds when Kai says "Plonk, assent, omental" in time with the beat. Magic.

Hello, everyone!

I took a break from posting on this forum because I didn't think Kai had known what to say to me after I did talk to him privately.

Kai, I want you to know that you are a great guy and I will post a more positive but less angry song for you in my songs thread.

Thank you!

I love that video. The Countdown music goes surprisingly well with the image of anthropomorphic, jobsworth trains.

However, the video was in very bad quality.

On top of that, under-aged contestants weren't even playing!

Something tells me that Kai could easily have a career in television if he wanted it. Not only does he appear very relaxed and natural in front of the camera, but he always seems to know where the camera is and when it's on him. My favourite mannerism of his is the way that, whenever he's scored some points and the audience applaud, he looks straight into camera, gives a little half-smile and narrows his eyes in an "I've been expecting you, Mr Bond" kind of a way.

Oh, and did anyone else besides me used to cringe whenever Des O'Connor said "Good boy!" to Kai? I can't imagine Jeff being so patronising somehow.

I'd agree with all of that Phil! Kai's style brings together a wonderful mix of TV professional and psychotic murderer. He pulls it off magnificently in that I usually find myself both scared and impressed after watching him. And yeah, Des... "good boy" - cringe.

Yeah, I know. But most contestants ignore it. Actually, I thought it was red - or is that not a reflection in your eyes? :twisted:

Thank you Lesley!

However, his singing repertoire extends to a rendition of "It's raining men" at a Karoake night (it was the only song he recognised, so he said), and was rubbish!
What Kai calls 'dancing' definitely isn't, and the only kind of acting he does, is acting up at home! I think he should stick to using his brains off the stage!

Love you really Kai! :)

Maybe Kai can perform in a solo Eurovision song contest sometime soon, but somebody else will have to arrange it!

And I don't think Terry Wogan or Graham Norton would be the host, either!

Maybe Richie Litchfield?
