Big time.
While watching a bit of music telly last night on C4 we was quite happily sitting there with a cup of tea and viewing some quality indie / punk / etc vids presented by the lovely Camilla, that was until Christina Elenni came into our lives.
Welcome to a real "what the fuck" moment.
We’re huge fans of GOOD New Zealand music, we could almost go so far as saying some of the best indie albums of the last 15 or so years have come from here. (see Chris Knox, The Clean, 3D’s and so on) But in saying that we’re the same as any country, with the great comes the terrible. The oh so terrible. Case and point is this travesty.
Normally we’d let something like this slide as there’s usually some sort of comedic value offered but there is no saving grace here, she can’t sing, can’t dance and her stylist has based her "look" entirely on Becky, our big titted, regrowthed "Don’ts" doll.
See for yourself because surely this has to be a joke, right?

“never let it be said that c4 has no sense of humour”
Do you even pay attention to what you’re watching?

This isn’t about C4 in the slightest, they (probably you) just played the thing..the fact it even got made is what we were in complete disbelief about.

are you kidding? you don’t see comedic value in this? this is basically tv carnage, and it’s happening right before your eyes, you lucky bastard!

new zealand = not that bad.
they did give us “what becomes of the broken hearted?” starring Temuera Morrison. even the USA holds a soft spot in its heart for large breasted blonde women who are not talented, but i do say, we are much more skilled at covering up the whole not talented part.

the video was worth posting, but the author of this article deserves to be fired for having a bad attitude.

If I win the loto one day I’m going to have millions of copies in every format made of this clip and buried until just before the sun burns our little rock to a meaningless nothing.
In those final moments,I think we owe it to the future race - in about two to three billion years - to show what the peak of human civilisation produced.
We not only owe to them, but to ourselves.
Her song better get number one over there.
Does anyone even remember Bad Taste ?
Kiwis have got it all. You should hold your chilli bins high in salute to this modern marvel.

If I was any good at that bolt of lighting thang anymore I would have sent a whopper ( and I don’t mean a hot meat sandwich + relish + stuff in a bit of paper ) right through that creatures face and made the eyes pop. Alas I have got real bad RSI from doing it so much during that Genesis period, and plus my fingers are too busy wanking my universe sized cock. Even if it is a man or a woman it fails the basic “singing” ability test. All those involved in the making and production of that blob of Satan’s stinking trouser custard / abortion of a video etc etc should have been turned in to pillars of salt for that kind of offensive waste of energy… you don’t even get a good look at it’s ass. In my day that would have started a war…
That aside big up New Zealand for my mates Fat Freddy’s Drop, the best thing to come out of New Zealand since… Well I can’t think… That’s being god for you… It’s kind of becoming a drag and you bunch of Muppets down there really are not helping. Rather than waste your time watching, commenting on or mussing about this kind of shite go and kill that dumb monkey face evil cock sucker… The one and only George WW3 Bush… Blame him for that crap and then kill him till he is dead. Please.
P.S. C4 really is pretty wank nowadays, since Whitely left for the better place… and their insistence on pumping total dog shit TV to the kids ( The OC!, Smallville, T4, Hollyoaks ( I mean come on!!! ) + that abortion of a program Big Brother. It really has fallen in the abyss of mega shiteness…

For Mr “you idiots, she’s a transsexual. get it? that’s funny” Why are transexuals funny? Is it cos you don’t understand? As GOD I’m OK with Transexuals and they turn me on… but the novlety comedy factor wore off a few decades ago with people like Danny La Rue… It’s not fuunt, it’s normal.

you guys have got to be joking right?
Christina Elenni is awesome and so talented and has such a unique voice.
you all sound like your stoned anyway, you barely even make sense! I have seen this girl on myspace.com and she is so popular! the video you are talking about is very cool and if you can’t see that she is just having fun and being cheeky on purpose you are more stupid then you sound!!
maybe you should go and read her space with all her comments and see what everyone else thinks about her! she is the next big thing in NZ. Go NZ!!

ok whoever posted this first has their own opinion and everybody does which is ok but come on!
lets just see who’s the better one here..you who posted this sitting on your couch or her who is on TV and has made a music video! ha ha!
feeling a little green are we??
C4 is a music station they are not going to put something on that isn’t decent! it would have to be approved before they were allowed to put it on.
I just went on that space site and looked her up too and if you read her profile you’ll also see that the same C4 voted her top kiwi newcomer for that year!! Suck on that!!
she is so hot and she so rocks..eat your heart out!

finally NZ gives us a video that is not boring and that has someone nice to look at and a video that makes you want to keep watching. so many of them look the same. shel go far cos you can remember her voice it sets her apart from the others.

After reading all this I figured that there must be something about this girl so I went and had a look.
what I can’t believe is that VICE let this be posted!
This is some pretty harsh stuff from also what is clearly some very “disturbing” people up the top. You do sound like you’re on something the way you are talking!
Do you not have a life? that girl is so sweet and is somewhat of a hit on that site from what is said about her.
shame on you ones for judging someone who at least is HAVING a life and clearly making it in the music world.
Shame on you vice for letting people be taken under attack.
I say GO CHRISTINA ELENNI you’ve got what it takes to be a huge star, I’ll be looking out for you.

I love this girl, so refreshing to see a new face out there and one who is a real entertainer, you can see from her stuff she just wants to enjoy what she does and put a smile on your face. what a change for NZ! this is what we need, someone just like her. her energy and love for life is really inspiring and makes you want to get out there and give life a chance and chase those dreams. not to mention a beautiful voice, one that you will remember.
this girl is great! I am now a big fan!

everyone is on abut christina elenni, she is the talk of the town, ive seen her music videos on juice and C4 and have also just recently seen her on that new music tv station- alt.
does she know how to work that camera, it loves her, she seems like such a lovely sweet genuine girl and the type of person even tho she is becoming well known someone you could approach.
this girl has something special about her, something we haven’t had here yet, she is the total package- beauty, talent, amazing different voice. i don’t think NZ knows what’s coming:)

this is nuts , how the hell can this woman get all this attnetion , she cant sing , she cant dance and who the hell is she kidding with this garbage?!? i mean honestly i feel sorry for the fact that shes getting this attention while good hard working and might i add brilliant bands are slipping through the cracks to make way for this terrible horrid rubbish
lets look at the facts , fake tits fake hair .. so shes not being true to herself for a kick off , cant sing cant dance , i would think thats important??
if this ” performer ” gets any sense she will give up and go back to being a man

I cannot believe society is stupid enough to buy into garbage like this, dear god! Where does someone like this get off on thinking they have talent, and secondly who are the tone deaf people that have been encouraging it. Now look I am all for people have a dream, but to inflict a dream thats this far flung onto everyday people is cruel. Plus did she get a NZ on Air grant for this, if so how? Did I just use my tax money to pay for this? I want a refund.

C4 PLAYs shit as videos like this because people PAY to them!!
People like her are the reason shows like american idol are so good, they tell people who are decidely average that that don’t rock!
She’s probably surround by a bunch of yes men who SHE IS PAYING to make her CD/vids. They are sucking all the $$/life out of her til there’s nothing left.
I feel really sorry for her.
Some needs to be honest with her
