NORMUND GENTLE IN THE NATIONAL PRESS
Normund Gentle 'Brit Slap' Video to Film Tomorrow
All of you Normund fans, take notice. Nick Mitchell is filming the video for his alter ego Normund Gentle's single "Brit Slap" in New York City tomorrow, April 1st. The filming is starting at the American Eagle at 46th and Broadway around 7 AM and will continue throughout Manhattan throughout the day. America's Next Top Model judge Nigel Barker will be filming a dance scene for the video (awesome!). Nick is also trying to get onto the Idol finale to sing the song to Simon Cowell. We must help make this happen somehow. The season of Timmeh needs to be capped off with a Normund Gentle performance. It's only right.
NORMUND GENTLE'S VIDEO SHOOT FOR "BITCHSLAP"
Filming at Times Square of “Brit Slap” Music Video: Farewell Roast to American Idol Judge Simon CowellWho: American Idol Contestant “Norman Gentle” (Nick Mitchell) will be filmed in Time Square singing his music video “Brit Slap” –a slap-stick farewell roast song for American Idol Judge Simon Cowell.Where: Time Square pedestrian zone, West 46th + Broadway.
When: Thursday, April 1st with Friday, April 2nd raindate
7:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. and
2:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. following the movie car around Manhattan
“Brit Slap” music video is designed as a farewell roast to legendary American Idol judge, the reputedly acerbic Simon Cowell as he departs from American Idol after nine years serving to raise the standards of amateur performers. Comedian Nick Mitchell co-host on the Wendy Williams Show, created “Norman Gentle”, a flamboyant character on American Idol. When he set out to win American Idol and did not win, the Norman Gentle character didn’t understand why American Idol judge Simon Cowell was so curmudgeonly toward him. Ego bruised, Norman now aims to impress Simon by singing him the slap-stick song “Brit Slap” on “American Idol Gives Back” on April 21st and “American Idol Season Finale” May 18th+19th.
Norman feels Simon can appreciate the right-back-atcha slap-stick words of “Brit Slap”. After all, the gavel of Simon Cowell has fallen so hard on so many. The music video underscores a genuine appreciation for Simon’s exacting standards which inspired Norman to further greatness. The music video represents a fantasy that many American Idol contestants have shared after a bracing brush-off from the erudite American Idol judge Simon Cowell.
Past American Idol Contestants singing in the “Brit Slap” music video include Ms. Casey P. Carlson, Ms. Kristen McNamara, Ms. Jackie Tohn.
Fan reaction will determine if Norman Gentle gets invited to sing “Brit Slap” directly to Simon Cowell on “American Idol Gives Back” on April 21st and “American Idol Season Finale” May 18th and 19th.

Dance credits: “Brit Slap” dance, choreographed by Brian Reeder, is a refreshing replacement to the Macarena, Time Warp, and that birdie dance of which Norman Gentle believes even Paula Abdul will approve be The Dance of the Century at all weddings, sporting events, decadent parties of all sorts, and private, at home, shower dances like that of Norman Gentle’s classic slap-stick.
