Just bizzarre but funny.

Myleene doesn't appear to know what accent to adopt. She's veering between estuary and something else.
She really is a poor presenter. She reminds me of the woman on the big screen at the Trafford centre who advertises its wares. Only she'd not even get that job. She's p* poor.

In my eyes he's lost all his "cred".....loser! Fxcking Opera?!

OurLadyOfPerpetualSupper · 15/01/2010 21:54

I'm disappointed - I thought it would be more of a documentary-type thing and we'd see the popstars actually being coached and learning how to sing.

Can't see me (or the audience) being any the wiser about opera at the end of this.

And those screaming groupies were almost as embarrassing as Alex James.

she will never win as she has all her clothes on...

And all this X Factor whooping is getting on my tits, frankly.

Puffling - let's face it, in a parallel universe, Klass is the Trafford Centre announcer who thinks she's in showbiz

I think this is a pretty low-rent show but it is quite compelling. All the arias have been really popular 'Ooh, I know that from the adverts' ones, the set is shite and the presenters are worse.

And yet ...

Ooh, Darius!

I thought the same OUrlady, there used to be a programme on channel 4 called faking it. I thought it would be like that.

Katherine was very harsh on that young girl. She wasn't good but none of them have been really.

The screamers are very annoying.

And Mylene. Saying 'Give it up¨' does not sound cool.

petalpower · 15/01/2010 21:57

Think Vanessa from the saturdays was too breathy. Think Darius might have a good voice. Squeaver, i too mourn the passing of Maestro - loved it!

Wastwinsetandpearls · 15/01/2010 21:58

I am wondering how many more "commercial" songs there are left.

truw, we'll all be asleep next week....

squeaver · 15/01/2010 21:59

Why has Darius changed his name? Does anyone know?

CJCregg · 15/01/2010 21:59

I never thought I'd say this, but I think I heart Darius.

squeaver · 15/01/2010 21:59

(I secretly fancy him, Just a little bit)

petalpower · 15/01/2010 22:00

Nessun Dorma is a bit harsh for the first week don't you think? Perfect pitch Dh says the pitch has been dropped massively (by about a 5th).

muppetgirl · 15/01/2010 22:00

I felt the love in the room -did anyone else feel the love in the room?

If dp does not get me pregnant soon, I may ask Darius to stand in.

He is certainly better than the other guys. Very restrained, none of the showing off silliness of Alex James (who I had to google).

If youve been to the football you know that song?????

squeaver · 15/01/2010 22:01

It was Britney-esque, muppetgirl

muppetgirl · 15/01/2010 22:01

Catherine looks embarassed to be sat next to Meatloaf.

Darius was on tv the other day saying that his name has always been Darius Danesh-Campbell but he was now going to be known as just Darius Campbell because it was too long as a double barrelled name (or some such crap!).

muppetgirl · 15/01/2010 22:02

'hit me baby one more * * (clicks fingers) time!'

squeaver · 15/01/2010 22:03

I want to switch off so badly but can't not see what has to be the Nolan car crash....
