What on earth is Alex James doing on popstar to opera star

[Wastwinsetandpearls]

Just bizzarre but funny.

I thought I was the only one watching it!

I think Jimmy Osmond's the best so far ... (never thought I'd say that)

Doesn't Meatloaf have weird teeth?

thank god someone started a thread about this...

what the heck is this tv programe???

what is myleene wearing?

how frosty was that between myleene and kym?

What was Alex James thinking???

Nevermind that, what the hell is Laurence Llewelyn Bowen doing on there as a judge?

Catherine's roots need doing

I don't know, am half watching as I am writing reports.

That American woman was awful.

I assume his cheese isn't selling (in answer to OP!).

Alex James has a thriving chees business, he doesn't need to do this!

Dh has just said 'cool jacket' the the McFly man

Catherine is looking grey.

Mylene's dress is bizzare.

Laurence is being the make equivalent of the new young judge on strictly.

I'm rather impressed by the McFly man. He really tried, didn't just arse about like Alex James.

It is a weird programme but strangely compelling.

I'd like to see Opera Star to Popstar

lol at you all creeping out of the woodwork to admit you are watching it.

I agree MmeLindt it would be a great programme.

I think Myleene turned up wearing an inappropriate black neopreene outfit and they ended up pinning green crepe paper to her to cover her up...

Meatloaf needs to stop attention seeking

I have it on downstairs but can't quite drag myself off MN to go and watch it - sounds a bit bizarre though!

her dress reminds me of a laura ashley lampshade.

I will stop going on about the dress now

Mme Lindt! Another X-factor escapee, good to see you.

he is Breaking. My. Heart.

Oh Alex, Alex, Alex with your cheese-making and broadsheet features I thought you were above Friday nights with Alan Titchmarsh.

Clearly our love peaked with Maestro. There's no way back for us now.

(Unless you're on Newsnight Review again, obv)

Yes, agree that Myleene's outfit is hideous! Thought that Marcella Whatsiface had a good voice for tuning but her phrasing was pretty off. Who do you think is going to go then?

Squeaver, would love to see another series of Maestro. Any chance do you think?

Mylene's dress is a bit like those strange lampshades that my Granny used to have.

Nay, I think the Beeb is moving away from all the celeb reality thing.

I loved it too (and not just because of AJ)

And by "nay", I obviously mean "nah"

Hey ClaudiaJean

good to see you again. I do miss the XF thread.

Alex will be the crap but entertaining one who will keep getting through every week. Good show, shame about the presenters.
