So I'm watching M2 and there's this female presenter (not Jo, not Jane - the new one) currently doing the top 12. There's something not quite right about her.
She's attractive and has a lovely voice but she says um and ah a lot.
For example, if she were to say "Next up, at number 6 is "So Us Is This" by Blindspott.", it would come out as, "Next up, ah, at, ah, number 6 is, um "So Us Is, ah, This" by, um, Blindspott."
Ok, so that's a slight exaggeration, but she does um and ah so much that it seems like she's just someone who'd been grabbed off the street, thrown in front of the camera and told to introduce a video with no preparation at all. And I'm sure that's not the situation. Maybe she needs to rehearse more? Maybe some improvisational acting classes would help?
The other thing I've noticed about her (I wish I knew her name. The M2 web site doesn't appear to have her listed in the presenters section) is she doesn't seem to have much of an opinion about music. She seems to have only one mode of appreciation and that's very happy (she says "fantastic" a lot). It makes me long for the time Glenn called Linkin Park "Stinkin' Park".
I have this theory that she may be computer generated. Well, how possible is it to come back after the 8 Foot Sativa song that ends with these bombastic lyrics (Step up! Step up for 8 foot sativa!), and be totally uneffected by it, like it never even played?

How indeed!! Led Zeppelin once said " Leaves are falling all around,
It's time I was on my way.
Thanks to you, I'm much obliged
For such a pleasant stay."
I suggest we stick with their opinion in regards to the matter. XXXLucy

I logged in to the forum just to post a thread on this, why am I not surprised someone beat me to it?
I always disliked Joe Cotton, always thought she had no place on tv, but now she's away for a while - I want her to come back!! Sure, Joe's not got the styleeness of our Jaquie, or the musical knowledge and all-round "aww she's so cool" factor of the legendary Jane Yee, but hell, Joe can make her way though a sentance without um-ing or ah-ing 6 times!!!
This being the second week with the new presenter, I knew what to expect, and counted an average of 8.35 um/ah's in every little talkie-section ( I made that number up but goddamn Im pretty sure its close)
The woman just doesnt seem to have the attitude the other M2-sers have - she'd probably make a great weather girl, and I know its hard to do pieces-to-camera, especially live, but cmon guys can we have someone a little more seasoned?
Im counting the M2 days till Joe's return.

jo is the shit. she may have been part of the saddest part of new zealand music history. But i think she has proved beyond a doubt that she kicks the ass of erica takacs as far as presenting goes. Erica bites. jo deserves her break, but I'm looking forward to seeing her back, especially the retro section, you just know Jo loves retro.

I love watching people who are passionate about what they are talking about. Its like Glen with Mulch, at first I just watched with raised eyebrows but yknow, its great to see someone enthusiastic. thats why im finally starting to like Joe.

Renee Mundy is the chick you mean - was quite pleased when she showed up because, lets face it, she is a bit on the pretty side but when she started talking, it was soon made clear that's about all she is. I had a laugh watching her doing retro last weekend - giving us some old school Bowie and Led Zep: it really does not seem to be her style of music at all. But then, maybe we shouldn't judge too much on appearance - she looks like a bank teller to me.

But then I see Renee also trades as Laura Holt, who may be known to some as Havoc's producer on Bfm - which was also Jacqui Brown's old stamping ground.

Yeah - i'm going to get told off for this by fellow m2 chatters - but the truth is Renee is really not passionate enough, enthusiastic enough to be doing what she is doing - Joe's back this week (next week) which is good. but hell - I practically fall asleep listening to her. but I have talked to her in the chatroom, and she is a freakin nice chick, just not well, quite right for the job.

i know her personally, , she was just nervous. Tv is difficult work. she looks even more beautiful in the flesh than on tv but dont hold this against her; she does have talent. Crikey audiences are uninformed and nasty.
