I do hope they dont leave D till last...

It looks as though he'll be about half way - maybe Sunday - unless they change the order.

I think itv.com must be getting thousands of hits on this as the ad takes an age to play.

Hope I don't forget. Thanks Delphi. A week tomorrow - not long now.

And thanks Meg for the Anglian link.But the Alex video I found was all about Blur. Going to look again now.

 

Yup, that's all I could find. After hearing Bernie Nolan sing I expected Alex to sing a solo.

Thank you....recorder set :)

I wish my video recorder would set but it wont anymore. It needs a human to turn it on.

mine has died completely.

poor thing.

Darius has just put the following comment:

 

In rehearsals for Pop Star to Opera Star!

Yes it is next Friday at 9 - 10:30 p.m. I noticed it in next weeks tv guide

Can't wait - with a pinch of dread. I just can't understand the man some people think he is. Whether it's their type of music or not, he has a lovely voice.

in that way I really hope some have their eyes and ears opened, after all say what they like, there is no way people should be saying he cant sing - it amazes me how after all he has done, some still seem totally ignorant of that fact

They only hear a negative slant from the media. If we didn't know what he can and has done, we'd be as misled.

 

Just got my tickets for the 14th.

'Popstar To Operastar' details confirmed

The lineup and judging panel for new ITV1 series Popstar To Operastar has been confirmed.

 

Hosted by Myleene Klass and Alan Titchmarsh, the show will feature ten famous popstars training to perform famous opera songs.

 

The celebrities taking part include Blur bassist Alex James, veteran singer Bernie Nolan, McFly's Danny Jones and Pop Idol star Darius Campbell. Jimmy Osmond, ex-Hear'Say singer and Coronation Street actress Kym Marsh, Shakespeare's Sister star Marcella Detroit and Vanessa White from girlband The Saturdays complete the lineup.

 

All the contestants will be coached by mentors Katherine Jenkins and Rolando Villazon before performing live on Friday night, when one hopeful will be voted off each week.

 

Jenkins and Villazon will be joined on the judging panel by Meatloaf and Classic FM DJ Laurence Llewlyn-Bowen.

 

Britain's Got Talent stars Susan Boyle and Paul Potts, X Factor runner-up Rhydian and opera group Il Divo are rumoured to have been lined up as special guest performers.

 

I really am not keen on Paul Potts or Rhydian, although Rhydion has matured a lot and is better now. Comes to something when one of the contestants is better than any of the guest 'stars'

quote PIP in that way I really hope some have their eyes and ears opened, after all say what they like, there is no way people should be saying he cant sing - it amazes me how after all he has done, some still seem totally ignorant of that fact . A large number of the media know only too well but choose to ignore the fact I think ny calling him reject all the time. I just hope we get the chance to hear him sing.
