Reborn in the USA anyone?

[Nutjob]

Poor Peter Cox - boo hooo I just can't believe he has been knocked out!! Am in total shock. Come on, I can't be the only one who's watching it?!!!

WHAT!!! I did not see it tonight. He was my fav. to win . WHo is left in?

Tony Hadley and Michelle Gayle. Had my mum over for a curry and a bottle of wine, so was only kind of half watching, but I think he forgot the words to one of his songs half way through, but from what I saw he recovered admirably. I just can't believe he's gone though, after coming first so many times.

Relieved it's not Haydn (WHO??)
Isn't it a great prog?

I know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who the hell is he anyway?!!! He just fancied himself FAR too much didn't he? Yes, it is a great programme. Wasn't Sonia just totally awful?!!! On the first programme she was DIRE, but I have to say she did improve a bit towards the end.

Yes indeed who was he?
I felt a bit sorry for Sonya. She was like your slightly talented cousin. I always think cheeryness is a good trait in people and she had it in spades.
What about the lady in Dollar? Has anyone told her she is not a 24 year old princess any more? I actually felt REALLY sorry for her. She seemed like a nice woman who had not come to terms with ageing.

I know, the sad thing is when I was about 9 I really wanted to be Terese Bazaar from Dollar, I thought she was really pretty, and I was sooo shocked at how badly she had aged. As you say, she hadn't done it with dignity - rather gone down screaming!!!

I actually think she is still very pretty for an older lady , she just has a kind of sad fragile edge to her.
I wanted Elkie Brooks or Peter Cox to win, although I do think Michele Gayle is a genuinely talented singer.

Is it time I got a life??

I watched some of it for the first time last night, after reading loads about it, and although I had read that Peter Cox did really well in other rounds, I thought that his rendition of "I Drove All Night" was pretty bad - made Celine Dion's look good. I only saw TH and MG do one each as well (Mack the Knife" and "Say a Little Prayer" and they were much better. Don't they hate each other though? At least they're not sharing a bus for the next week, they are coming home! I may watch next week's final...

I've been following this, but too apathetic about it to start a thread! I think Tony Hadley will win, but would have liked Peter Cox to - just because I saw him at one of those '80s revival concerts last year, and found him quite tasty!
I think Michelle Gayle is a stroppy cow! And she has been a stirrer right from the start - remember Mark Shaw?
Anyone else think that Davina has a slight air of mad nervous hysteria about her?
Still, I keep watching it every week.

emsiewill I have been thinking the same about Davina. My dh is convinced she is on something!

I think it is brilliant, the concept at least! & yes, I feel quite embarrassed by Davina on behalf of the English, wonder what the audience make of her. She just seems a little mad.
Last one was the only one I'd missed & hadn't realised Peter Cox was out, bit of a shock. Would not have been right if Haydn had won tho.
I have found it very wierd that people who were, for a while, such massive stars are now lugging their bags round ordinary BnB's & are just ordinary people. well, I grew up in the 80's...

I am huge fan of Davina... RAW talent... and a home/water birth woman 10 out of 10 in my book

Is Davina pregnant again?

yes

Yeah... I was wondering this too... thanks Jasper

I think that she was just trying too hard, as the US audiences were such hard work. Coupled with the fact that our sense of humour is totally incompatible to theirs, she probably seemed madder than usual. Plus, her pregnancy hormones are probably making her totally daffy now!

I think that she's great. Hate Tony Hadley. OK, I admit that his voice was really good in the last show, but he's such a sleaze...bleugh.

Help - missed the final - who won?

Kyliebump - Tony Hadley - no real surprise there! Still think think Cox should have won

Thanks grommitt!!
