Apprentice star talks up about winner

'The Apprentice' runner-up Claire Young has criticised the winner of the show, Lee McQueen, saying he would be happy working as a cleaner for Alan Sugar.
The 28-year-old runner-up told Heat magazine: "Lee likes everyone to love him - in that respect he's easy to manage. He won't cause any disruption."
"If Sir Alan said to him 'Lee, you're gonna be a cleaner for the next year' Lee would be like, 'Fantastic, because I'm doing it for Sir Alan'. If Sir Alan said that to me, I'd tell him to naff off."
She also said in the interview that she felt she had more general experience than the show's winner and could see why Sugar felt that Lee would have more to learn.
Young said: "I'm much tougher and probably more well-rounded. Lee's fantastic at sales, but that's pretty much what he does for a living, so in an apprentice sense he's got more to learn."
"I could have gone into Sir Alan's businesses and really had a different perspective, challenged him and shaken things up. But maybe he wants a quiet life."

Jay-Z Tickets Not Selling Well In The UK

Despite Jay-Z signing a deal worth $150 million with tour company Live Nation, it seems fans aren't so eager to flock to his shows in the UK.


The rapper is playing several UK dates this Summer which are still on sale, as well as a large event at Milton Keynes Bowl later this month with Linkin Park as part of his 'Projekt Revolution tour'. However, only 40,000 tickets out of 75,000 available have sold.


Jay-Z has been blamed by some for the reason Glastonbury Festival hasn't sold out this Summer, despite previous years selling out in record time.


The unsold July events are:


Bournemouth International Centre � 15

Cardiff International Arena � 16

Manchester, Evening News Arena � 19

Glasgow, SECC � 20

Aberdeen Exhibition Centre - 21

Dave Brubeck has long served as proof that creative jazz and popular success canful go together. Although critics world Health Organization had championed him when he was unknown seemed to contempt him when the Dave Brubeck Quartet became a surprise success, in world Brubeck never watered down or adapted his music in order to acquire a wide-eyed audience. Creative engagement (being unmatched of the showtime groups to play on a regular basis on college campuses) and a bit of fortune resulted in capital popularity, and Dave Brubeck remains one of the few home name calling in nothingness.


From closely the start, Brubeck enjoyed utilizing poly-rhythms and polytonality (performing in two keys at erstwhile). He had classical training from his mother, only fooled her for a long flow by memorizing his lessons and non eruditeness to show music. He studied music at the College of the Pacific during 1938-1942. Brubeck light-emitting diode a service isthmus in General Patton's Army during World War II and and so, in 1946, he started studying at Mills College with the classical composer Darius Milhaud, world Health Organization encouraged his students to play jazz. During 1946-1949, Brubeck light-emitting diode a mathematical group for the most part consisting of swain classmates, and they recorded as the Dave Brubeck Octet; their music (released on Fantasy in 1951) static sounds sophisticated today, with complex fourth dimension signatures and some polytonalism. The vIII was too chemical group to make much work, so Brubeck formed a trio with drummer Cal Tjader (world Health Organization two-fold on vibes) and bassist Ron Crotty. The trio's Fantasy recordings of 1949-1951 were quite an popular in the Bay Area, but the mathematical group came to an end when Brubeck hurt his back up during a serious swimming accident and was put out of action for months.


Upon his return in 1951, Brubeck was persuaded by altoist Paul Desmond to make the grouping a quartet. Within two old age, the band had turn surprisingly popular. Desmond's cool-toned alto and speedy mentality fit in well with Brubeck's much heavy chording and data-based playing; both Brubeck and Desmond had original sounds and styles that owed small to their predecessors. Joe Dodge was the band's early drummer simply, after he tired of the route, the virtuosic Joe Morello took his property in 1956; piece the revolving bass chairperson finally settled on Eugene Wright in 1958. By then, Brubeck had followed his popular series of Fantasy recordings with some big sellers on Columbia, and had appeared on the wrap up of Time (1954). The brobdingnagian success of Paul Desmond's "Take Five" (1960) was followed by many songs played in "odd" time signatures such as 7/4 and 9/8; the high quality soloing of the musicians kept these experiments from sounding care gimmicks. Dave and Iola Brubeck (his married woman and lyrist) put together an anti-racism demo featuring Louis Armstrong (The Real Ambassadors) which was recorded, merely its only if public appearance was at the Monterey Jazz Festival in the early '60s.


The Dave Brubeck Quartet perpetually traveled around the world until its dissolution in 1967. After some time off, during which he wrote religious works, Brubeck came back the following year with a new quatern featuring Gerry Mulligan, although he would take several reunions with Desmond ahead the altoist's death in 1977. Brubeck coupled with his sons Darius (keyboards), Chris (electric bass and bass trombone), and Danny (drums) in Two Generations of Brubeck in the 1970s. In the early '80s, tenor saxophonist Jerry Bergonzi was in the Brubeck Quartet, and beginning in the mid-'80s, clarinettist Bill Smith (wHO was in the original octet) alternated with altoist Bobby Militello.


There is no shortfall of Dave Brubeck records currently available, practically everything he trim back for Fantasy, Columbia, Concord, and Telarc ar well-off to place. Brubeck, whose compositions "In Your Own Sweet Way," "The Duke," and "Blue Rondo a la Turk" take become standards, remained very officious (contempt some bouts of forged health) into the 2000s.
