Don't know if there was a thread last week as it was my birthday and I recorded it.
I'm here for week 2...Smile

I thought priests, vicars and the like had to have the loudest, most awful singing voice in the congregation? I thought that was like the law or something

nancy that makes me love him more Grin

Sparklingbrook · 21/04/2018 20:30

Meh

mogloveseggs · 21/04/2018 20:30

Grin not Envy although the spinning made me queasy

Fflursan · 21/04/2018 20:31

That was just nice.

Sparklingbrook · 21/04/2018 20:32

SC has lost the plot.

hidengosqueak · 21/04/2018 20:32

I liked the priest. Oh what is happening to me

Is Simon worried he might not get to Heaven and is trying to get a few brownie points?

AnotherOriginalUsername · 21/04/2018 20:33

You can literally see the ££ in Simon's eyes

Sparklingbrook · 21/04/2018 20:33

He was perfectly fine, the song was ok but it's nothing out of the ordinary.

REM have split now. I saw them sing this live in Ipswich the day after 7/7.
They came to the front of the stage and made a speech and reduced almost the whole audience to tears and then played Everybody Hurts... Sad

I think SC was pondering a Christmas CD for sure.

ShesAYamEater · 21/04/2018 20:34

Suppose the queen would like him but despite being a priest I didn't think he was outstanding 😇

mogloveseggs · 21/04/2018 20:34

He’s ok but I don’t find it as powerful as the original. Nice arrangement though.

MrsDoylesTeaBags · 21/04/2018 20:34

The priest was a bit meh for me, that picture made me like him a bit more though Nancy

I'm feeling some really sad pangs for Ant knowing whats to come for him Sad

ShesAYamEater · 21/04/2018 20:35

I saw REM too in Hull. They were fabulous. Shame they are no more.

Sparklingbrook · 21/04/2018 20:35

DVO and friends in the Matalan advert make me want to put my foot through the TV.

LineyHasntLeftTheBuilding · 21/04/2018 20:36

The Singing Priest wouldn't have been out of place in Father Ted. Ted and Dougal would have been impressed with his 'popular hit tune'.

MrsDoylesTeaBags · 21/04/2018 20:36

That dress she's wearing is terrible, if it looks like that on her what would it look like on us mortals?

Piggywaspushed · 21/04/2018 20:37

He should be in Father Ted or the guy in The Royle Family who sigs.

MrsDoylesTeaBags · 21/04/2018 20:37

Anyway DH has put boxing on now so you'll have to keep me up to date.

Piggywaspushed · 21/04/2018 20:37

sings : my n is not working

Sparklingbrook · 21/04/2018 20:38

I agree MrsDoyles the dress is awful.

Sparklingbrook · 21/04/2018 20:38

Oh joy. Dancing children. My favourite.

ShatnersBassoon · 21/04/2018 20:39

I thought the priest had really good variation in his tone and good control. I liked him because I've never heard anyone sing like that on a talent show before. To be fair to him, he doesn't want a career in singing; he just wants to sing in front of the royal family, so the X Factor wouldn't be any good for him.
