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

[Wastwinsetandpearls]

Just bizzarre but funny.

I'm thinking if they brought in Meatloaf they were struggling on the presenter front?

Why Klass?

Why Loaf?

And on we ponder...

Titchmarsh???

I reckon whoever sold the concept to ITV gave it about ten minute's thought and never believed for a moment it would be commissioned. Then they panicked. And booked Meatloaf.

When you hear them all together like that, the Bratz kid HAS to go. And maybe Mr Magaluf

LOL hassled!

Lol Hassled. Bang on.

And, btw, we haven't even covered Titchmarsh's collar pin...

Oh bu**er, I may well end up hooked on this...

Don't know if I can stay awake much longer, when does it end?

Only a few more mins, wonderstuff. Don't worry, they don't sing again.

Opera singer pal of mine linked me to this

deliciously bitchy...

review of PSTOS from the telegraph here

love 'mediocre glamourpuss!!'

That's very funny. And it's a very good point about them using mikes isn't it?

yep!

This is waht my friend replied when I asked her what she thought of CJ

Well I think "mediocre glamour puss" pretty much sums her up. There are so many beautiful and truly fabulous vocally mega-gifted mezzos in Wales (and the rest of the UK) who are much more worthy of multi million pound record contracts...She is ok, certainly not appalling but not a great voice...but that is probably sour grapes on my part, as no one has ever paid me 40k for singing nursery rhymes in my native language.

Completely agree with the article. Such a missed oportunity, compared to Maesto it seems really cheap. Having a programme about Opera, having 5 presenters and only one of them an actual opera singer is really weird.

Jimmy or Vanessa has to be gone.

but technically she's not an opera singer not having sung a full opera in her life! She's a singer who sings the songs from Opera's!!

"Meat" ffs

get rid of the bratz doll

And as he said, anyone who knows next to nothing about opera (ie me) will be none the wiser after this.

Btw, was it just me or was KJ singing 'na 'na 'na 'na 'na 'na?'

hahahaha

Can't believe Rolando wanted to keep her

No it's Rolando Villazon who is the one opera singer out of the 5 presenters, not Catherine Jenkins (and does she always sing as sharp as she did all the way through that aria). Can't believe she's really coaching them. God help them if she is. Perhaps they have real coaches behind the scenes.

Shame BBC didn't do this - would have been quite interesting.

sorry thought you meant CJ!!

see you all next week!

It's been emotional.
