Irish teenager Daithi took the Wembley stage in the Must Be The Music final tonight.
The violinist combines his fiddle and a recording loop station to create distinctive sounds for his music. His last track, played on the show’s semi final, reached number three in the alternative UK music charts earlier this month.
Tonight, Daithi played a composition named Ci, after his girlfriend Ciara who celebrates her birthday today. We quite liked him, we love his energy and he definitely knows how to work a stage. However, for us, Daithi just didn’t compare to the two acts who preceded him (Pepper and Piano and Missing Andy) and we don’t see him winning tonight.
Judges Comments:
Sharleen: There is no doubt you are talented. You’re a great musician, you’re a brilliant song writer but for me I was hoping you would bring something else to it…...

It's clear that e-books are the future of printed works, even if right now Amazon's Kindle is the only device that demonstrates the power of the new medium. But with news that Rupert Murdoch wants in on the scene, and with Verizon being courted by e-book makers, it looks like the triumph of the new tech is assured.
Murdoch's interest in e-books surfaced via AllThingsD: His company is definitely investing cash into a new e-reader that has a "bigger screen" and four colors. It's clearly intended as a competitor to the Amazon Kindle, which has a fairly diminutive screen more suited for book reading than magazine-or newspaper-style content, and can just display black and white or grayscale imagery. That News Corp would show interest in e-books is actually not much of a surprise--the end of the printed-paper news industry is being hastened by the failing economy and advancing tech, and...
