Well, all you opera buffs - I enjoyed this. Not easy for a bunch of also-rans to sing opera. I thought they did well enough. It will be interesting to see if any of them become any good over the next few weeks. I liked Marcella and Darius.

Any programme with Katherine Jenkins and Myleen Klass in has got to be worth watching anyway.:smiley:

Katherine Jenkins :-* :-* :-*

You know, if she played her cards right, she could be in here. O0


I didn't watch this as I find this sort of programme grating. It's not the content (singing, dancing, etc.) it's the bloody panels they have on them. It's like pantomime. ::)

I'd say all but one have a lot of work to do. The men in particular lacked the power needed to sing opera successfully.

pop star to opera star is on ITV.......great idea, terrible execution. I read an interesting blog about it www.juliettepochin.co.uk/blog, though the tenor getting all cross in the Times http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/stage/opera/article6997143.ece

seems to be promoting opera as something of a miserable profession!!!!!

Bernie Nolan will win and deservedly so, but opera singer she is not, she's just better than Darius. The duet she did with Katherine J was great - mostly because of Katherine J.:-*

I haven't been following the series, but I've watched Bernie and Darius on the ITV player thing. A couple of boobies, if you ask me. Don't know nowt about this Jenkins lass.^-^

Edit. I think I read that Darius was a sort of Rolando Villazon protege?? Listen to him here ruining the big duet from "The Pearl Fishers".

She was the one with the boobies.
