To think that Barry Manilow looks a right state?!

[Haggyoldclothbatspus]

Watching an audience with him on tv. He looks like he's standing in a wind tunnel, or has a REALLY tight pony tail. His eyes look really odd, and he can barely open his mouth! DP reckons that he looks like Odo from 'Deep Space Nine'! Why can't elderly stars just age naturally, instead of turning themselves into waxworks without working facial muscles??

No you're not! He must have indulged in a lot of Botox/plastic surgery/fillers/whatever! He looks ridiculous!

And he is SO miming!

At the start of the show he was really struggling to open his mouth enough to sing. He seems to be coping a bit better now, but still looks very odd.

I saw him on something not long ago and wondered if he thought noone noticed his lack of expression/drum tight face.

I feel sorry for anyone who's got to the point they feel they have to do 'everything' and are still unhappy.

Has Joanna Lumley had anything done does anyone know?

She looks great but has aged in a normal way, if she's has it's subtle.

YABU - He looks fab.

...and now put your glasses on and take a look smogs...

I know but he could look a lot worse. He's 65, has a lot of money and a career in the public eye. so he has a nip and tuck here and there, I think he looks fine. Anyway it's all about the music and he's very talented at what he does so i don't think it really matters what he looks like.

He's always reminded me of a little bird. Now he's just an "old bird"

I was on a conspiracy thread last week on MN smogs, and someone said there's a theory that Bazza is actually Jim Morrison from The Doors!

Jim faked his own death and the similarities between the two are just too convincing to be anything but real.

Any truth in it do you think?

He is a loon. I can kind of understand why some famous person who used to be known for their stunning good looks would want to cling onto them for grim death, but Barry Manilow? [hconfused] He always looked like a cartoon ardvark anyway.

He's so frighteningly thin.....[hshock]

He'd have been better off growing old naturally. Instead he looks a bit sad

Anyone link to a recent photo so I can join in the judging?

From that photo I think he looks better now than he did when he was younger! I've just been on Wiki and it says he had a complete facelift in 2003 so I wonder what he looked like in 2002? It also says he had an eye operation a few years ago so that would explain his eye looking odd maybe.

Oh dear lord.

That clip's not bad!

It was the fact he can barely open his mouth and the line under his chin which looked like a tight elastic band had been attached that made me

Above this line, his face was unnaturally smooth and slightly swollen and below was normal tone

might the coke habit add to his woes as well

He looks dreadful...far too much surgery.

I saw him on something a couple of months ago and he seemed to be dribbling as he spoke...as though he couldn't move his mouth muscles properly.

might the coke habit add to his woes as well

Talented in his own way, though.

Very much in his own way.

He always did look awful. I had to switch off during the first song. I know it is the original but it was simply dire
