I went to see Jane mcdonald in concert at Torquay tonite. What was amazing was the amount of support she has (the place was absolutely packed out and buzzing, first five rows large fan club, in view of the fact that she stated her album had debuted at no.7 and stayed there for two weeks and had just gone back in the charts in spite of no radio station giving her any airtime and this had been discussed between her and cliff richard same reason for him, she said they wont play them. This seems ludicrous when her album is in top ten dont you think and can imagine the trouble that D must have had with his last album.She said the fact that her album was at no.7 was a shock to the industry. It was obvious from the number of people at the concert and the reception she got that she is extremely popular and is very capable of working an audience. The downside was she had a band of about ten and they were far too loud, together with three backing singers. Would like to have heard her extremely strong voice with just a guitarist, piano, drums giving a much softer output. However she got a standing ovation most of the time. It is obvious also that the fact she is on loose women has given her a high profile for not only popularity but also for promoting her albumn. D definitely needs the same scenario.

Not only on Loose Women all the time. There was a TV series recently called Return to the Cruise, the original series on which she made her mark. It came out just before her album release in August so that too could have boosted sales.

 

Yes baytree I saw return to the cruise and the original programme. I do think she looks better and younger now than she did during the original cruise programme but of course she can afford to now. We do watch loose women if we are at home, I like her the best of all but also like jackie brambles. Regarding her album, she has had high profile on loose women but I do think she is popular with families across the board and this was evident at her show last night, it was so so crowded. Apparently her original come back started when she played the nurse in Hamlet at the old vic.
