Anyone else watching? I am a tad disappointed thus far. What's with all the female singers (Pixie, Leona, Nicole)?
Also I do not like that new song of Leona's, it doesn't showcase her voice at all

I had to mute Leona. Sherzinger is fricking awful, at least she's worn a dress though. I expected her to dance around in her pants.

CuriousMama · 14/12/2011 20:33

Yes I wondered why she had clothes on? Must be for Anne.

I was expecting Jim Bowen there. I like a bit of bully Xmas Wink

CuriousMama · 14/12/2011 20:34

Oh Leona's killed that song. I love Johnny Cash singing it but her, ouch!

Also I usually love Omid Djalili but I thought he went a bit OTT today

It was hideous and her dress swamped her!

CuriousMama · 14/12/2011 20:39

Nothing's grabbed me yet. Manilow's on apparently? Think I'll go to bed if it doesn't improve.

Do you think the Queen saw the line up and said she had bridge club tonight?

msrisotto · 14/12/2011 20:56

I wish I had bridge club to go to instead....

CuriousMama · 14/12/2011 20:58

I'm off to watch A superScrimper's Christmas on Ch4+1. Enjoy Xmas Wink

msrisotto · 14/12/2011 21:21

Really? They couldn't get a proper singer to sing the Phantom song??

slalomsuki · 14/12/2011 21:26

The male pole dancers were quiet good initially but then the novelty wore off. The kids laughed at the guy doing the nick names but then I turned over.

GoingForGoalWeight · 14/12/2011 21:26

i agree, wrong song for Leona.

I'm watching BBC1 now Sad

BiscuitNibbler · 14/12/2011 21:27

Who thought it would be a good idea to get Sherzinger to sing Phantom? Surely they were having a laugh?

Definitely lack of talent tonight. Seems more like a Britain's Got Talent audition without the relief of the buzzers.

BiscuitNibbler · 14/12/2011 21:29

Ok, all is forgiven now they have Barry.

Byeckersitsapropercrimbolike · 14/12/2011 21:29

Im gutted that i am disappointed Xmas Sad

Its one of the highlights of my christmas every year! Also i watched BGT and had totally forgotten about that Jai dude, he was ok.

The guy with tape was pretty funny...

msrisotto · 14/12/2011 21:29

I can't enjoy this song since I was told it was originally about a dog

msrisotto · 14/12/2011 21:30

Ditto Byecker - I usually adore the royal variety show. And the mime guy was good.

Byeckersitsapropercrimbolike · 14/12/2011 21:30

Hellfire who put the pillows in Bazzas cheeks Xmas Confused

Byeckersitsapropercrimbolike · 14/12/2011 21:32

Now... I cant decide what i think of Tim Minchin? We will see

LordOfTheFlies · 14/12/2011 21:32

Baaaaaaaarrrrrryyyy is on now

DH reckons he's had work done.
Wash your mouth out, Heathen. Shock

BiscuitNibbler · 14/12/2011 21:32

What?? That wasn't even a whole song!

El cheapo Variety show this year. Such a disappointment.

stressheaderic · 14/12/2011 21:33

The chap with the tape over his mouth was a bit random and rubbish

purplehonesty · 14/12/2011 21:34

Marry banilow did a duet with himself. Very odd.

The drunken noddy radio show was hilarious!

Byeckersitsapropercrimbolike · 14/12/2011 21:34

Exactly stresshead... The very essence of RV! [rin2

Byeckersitsapropercrimbolike · 14/12/2011 21:35

Xmas Grin obviously!

LordOfTheFlies · 14/12/2011 21:41

The drunk noddy is an old one but still funny. [Fgrin]
