Oh dearery me, will some oe please shoot Berdan and put him and us out of misery. I'm totally sick of seeing him on all these blooming reality things. Naff off and stick to your dancing.
And yes John is Jim in EastEnders. The only one's i'd like to hear is Luke and John, to see what they are like, the others who cares.
Brendan Cole. :lol: Now that is somehting to watch, Im going to watch it this time.
Isn't it fantastic to see Russell Watson back after his operations recently!
Well done Russell - hoping you are making a speedy recovery
i didnt know he had had an operation. He must be making a recovery if he has signed up to be well and singing again by the time the show starts. I thought he was really good last year, him and Sian truly deserved to win.
i didnt know he had had an operation. He must be making a recovery if he has signed up to be well and singing again by the time the show starts. I thought he was really good last year, him and Sian truly deserved to win. He had a benign brain tumour Katy, and had to have two ops only recently see here (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/5391544.stm)
He had that one, and then required another one not long after because he was starting to get blurred vision etc.
I'm so glad that this means he is well on the way to recover and wish him all the best.
This years batch looks interesting and I for one can't wait to see it. Anyone else think Brendan is looking for a change of career though - first Love Island, now this :hmm:

Russell Watson has been forced to withdraw from BBC1 talent show Just The Two Of Us three months after emergency surgery to remove a brain tumour.
The classical singer was advised by his doctor not to take part in the new series.
Watson, 39, known as The Voice, was due to return to the show in January after triumphing in the first series with actress Sian Reeves.
But he has been advised not to undertake the intensive schedule of rehearsals and live performances following his operation.
Watson underwent a five-hour operation at the end of September to remove the benign brain tumour.
A spokesman for the star said: "His recovery has taken much longer than anticipated and he has been under constant medical supervision since the operation 10 weeks ago.
"Although he is desperate to perform in the TV show, his overall health has been far more affected by the pituitary adenoma than first expected.
"Russell is extremely disappointed that he is unable to take part in the show, but realises that he must follow the medical advice and not commit to anything that could affect his recovery.
"The specialists monitoring Russell, concerned about his health and well-being, have had to have the final word on this."
Just The Two Of Us starts on BBC1 on January 2.
I thought it was a bit soon, you cant put his health at risk, i wonder who will be the replacememtn this year as that was his job last year. does this mean that Loui wont be in it either.
I would imagine they will bring in a replacement for him.
Looks like no replacement....
OPERA star Russell Watson has been forced to pull out of a major TV show after struggling to get over a brain op.
Russell, 39, was due to take part in BBC1 singing show Just The Two Of Us next month.
He won the first series of the duet-based show. But a spokeswoman for the star said docs had banned him from performing.
Russell had a five-hour op to remove a benign tumour two months ago. It means partner, Hollyoaks’ Loui Batley, also leaves the show, which starts on BBC1 on January 2
Source "The Sun"
I read that last night on BBC text too Rain - such a shame that they didn't bring in a replacement for him though, they had the time when Rick Astley left them in the lurch before, but maybe this time was a lot closer to going on air than when Rick walked.
thats a pity as well, i thought they would have had a replacement as well. It cant be that hard to find one surely.

Loui was the one i wanted to watch they should of had a replacment
hmmmm I found it strange watching Brendan sing, probably cos Im sooo used to watching him dance.
Doesn't Sam from Casualty have a great voice?! Well, I thought so anyway lol
Marti and Hannah up next....
Doesn't Sam from Casualty have a great voice?! Well, I thought so anyway lol
I know I thought he was great, I was surprosed actaully.
I was too Abbie - but he was great! Brendan surprised me too, he wasn't that bad.
I think John may be the first to go, although he may stay for the comedy factor I suppose...:hmm:
Who do you think will go??

Yep Brendan surprised me as well but Im not used to see him dance the way he did lol.
Yep i think John may go too.
Hannah Waterman surprised me a bit too - I think they might do fairly well in this
Hannah Waterman surprised me a bit too - I think they might do fairly well in this
I know hope so i like her too.

Ok.... I was totally taken by surprise seeing John "Jim Branning". My hubby listened to his voice, he agreed with Tito he did have an old Rat Pack/Las Vegas (rough from smoke and hard booze) voice,, so I am guessing that is good...
Brendan couldn't help himself could he giving Beverly a twirl,the boy has the moves, hubby said the voice needs training..
Had a problem watching Sarah Brighton, she is PURE OPERA, last time I saw her perform was with Antonio Banderas in Phantom of the Opera back in '99( Royal Albert Hall ).. she has her work cut out for her, with that cricketeer ( sighhhhh another one eh LOL )
Hannah needs to find a different style of dress her boobies were poppin outta her dress..she actually looked FRUMPY..She needs to do something with her awful hair and wardrobe..
I think young Luke from casualty will probably go the furthest...
Its early days...........we are all in for an interesting ride :-D
It was good actually i was surprised, i agree jodi about Hannahs dress what were the thinking. I thought that Luke was definatly the best, and i liked Hannah and Marti to. I think they will go far, even with her dress sense. I think John is going to be the penny smith of the competition.

Im so glad Loui wasnt doing it! lol I though Luke and Natasha were really good although it was a bad choice of song! John and Jocelyn had me in stitches! Is it me or did Tito Jackson look like Mr Benn? You could just imagine it "Then all of a sudden as if out of no-where, the shopkeeper appeared" lol
Im glad Gregg and Carol went first i thought they were awful!
Mr Ben, lol. I didnt quite see the resemblance myself.
I dont think mr Jackson quite knew how you were meant to score. Some of his were really odd.
:eek: i didnt even know this had started!!!
John and Jocelyn are so funny at least he doesnt attempt to take it seriously is all i can say. I thought the Julia was like a different singer last night she was so much better. Mark was good as well. What is about these cricketers. Talk about multi talented.

John is really funny, he is so bad but it is really entertaining, i would love him to win it
It would be great if he won it. I think that Brendan is good as well, but he moans too much for my liking.

04-01-2007, 15:07
oh no, cant believe marti pellow was in the bottom two! whats going on there!! i nearly stressed at the thought of him going, need to see him more than two nights.
i can see how people think that the old bloke from eastenders is funny but please dont let him become this years penny smith, he will end up staying each night while good singers will go out!
Jessie Wallace
04-01-2007, 20:17
That's the way it'll be tho, i think he'll be in the final 3or4.
I like Luke and Natasha, Brendan's voice is ok, but last night he was just a moaner, just accept it was rubbish, don't make excuses be gracious.
JustJodi
05-01-2007, 01:52
Ok bye Luke and Natasha,,,I think every one thought that John and Jocelyn were out the door..Tito really likes John...but again Tito is a JACKSON :rotfl:
Now I know who Hannah's daddy is and who her husband is,, well well well..........I still think she looks frumpy..Marti is a doll ....... I had to google him cos I had no idea who he was.
If there is another PENNY SMITH it is that gal from Watch dog,,My hubby said she is rubbish,,,
Brendan is now getting DIRECT criticisim from the judges.He is not used to that LOL He will probably be in the final ..(Did every one see Karen and Ian in the audience ???)
Dunno what to think of Sarah and Mark,, Mark caught heck for missing the intro,,not sure if that is what BROUGHT his score down to the bottom, at least the callers saved them..Mark mentioned he was going to be singing one of Sarahs songs if he gets to the final for the show stopper i wonder what it is she is gonna have him to sing.........:searchme: She has been in so many operas !!!
Well onwards to the next show .....:D
I was surprised to see Luke and Tash go but im happy to be honest as i thought that John and Jocelyn are so much better entertainment wise. It would be such a laugh if he won it. I dont like Marti Pellow actually, hes meant to be this amazing singer and i personally dont think he is that.

Gutted Luke went out last night, it so shouldn't have been him, he actually has a good singing voice, unlike some of the people on there :mad:
pookie1968uk
05-01-2007, 13:48
yes it was a shame they went out as they had really good voices and sounded great together. it seems a shame they went out when jocelyn and john stayed in when he is sooo bad!

05-01-2007, 16:30
luke and natasha never should have gone last night them and brendan & Beverly are the best on it and i like john but hes not exactly singing is he
I agree he shouldnt have gone but out of Luke and John id much rather John Stay. Its far more entertaining. I know its a singing competition but as there not singers i see it more a performance competition.
JustJodi
05-01-2007, 23:21
:searchme: Hmmmmmmmm this competion is getting a bit werid .. How in the heck did Tony Christi and Julia get voted off ???Tito saved John and Jocelyn :eek: Ok granted Tito is a JACKSON and doesn't know any better..
I knew Sarah was going to sing that song MUSIC OF THE NIGHT,, Has any one ever seen her sing on stage ??
Was that cool or what seeing Russel Watson sing..
I am hoping Brendon and Mark stay in,,, tomorrow they are probably the only ones I would wanna see in the finals.. John and Jocelyn will go tomorrow for sure,,, they got to :searchme:

Brendan and Beverly to win. I'm enjoying watching John and Jocyelne as they are just so enjoying it so much. Loved them singing always there. I think they will go tomorrow though.
Im enjoying John as well. I tink Sarah and Mark could win if they get the votes of the public but out of all of them they are the least well known. I thought Julia should of gone in my opinion as i didnt like her, she didnt interest me in her performance.

I like brendan and beverly but is it just me or does brendan usually sound better in the rehearsal clips than he does when he's doing it for real.
OK - no doubt I won't be agreed with but I was not happy about Tito saving John and Jocelyn. They are great entertainment yes, but John can't sing (I thought he was going to keel over at one point!) Tony and Julia did brilliantly last night I thought, Mark and Sarah are great, but is it just me, or is Sarah not versatile. She seems to only be able to sing opera style, and in the sing off, for me, it kind of spoiled it.
Semi final night tonight though and as we've seen from Luke and Natasha going ( :angry: ) no-one is safe and there are no conclusive winners.
I want Marti to go, i cant stand him and hes the professional, i knod of agree with you about sarah, but as shes a trained opera singer its bound to appear now and again in the styles of music she is singing in. Its comes and goes on certain words, im no vocal coach, but it does sound odd. I do like Mark and Sarah.
I dont rate Marti's singing much anymore to be honest - I'm surprised they went through last night.
I know its difficult to adapt if you've been trained in a certain genre and Sarah is a fantastic singer, but I just remember how the judges pretty much had a go at Russell last year, told him to adapt, so he did but they aren't really doing that this time with Sarah and with some of the songs, like you say, it just sounds a little odd.
Great to hear and see Russell singing last night though. He was obviously gutted about not being able to take part and you would never think that he'd had 2 brain op's recently would you!
No i really felt for him, when he was talking about it and he was saying how he didnt think he would see his kids again, it was great seeing him though. He has such a good voice.
Id forgot how harsh they were on Russell lst year though, but in fairness to Sarah she doesnt drown him out like i thought she would, i thought shed be louder and you couldnt hear him but you can, so i think shes worked on that as i associate Opera with loud.
Thats true - she does lower her voice a lot to try and ensure Mark is heard. Just sound strange sometimes hearing opera incorporated into rock lol
I think Marti and Hannah will be the ones to go tonight though....or is that wishful thinking!! Was it me or did Ricky look quite embarrassed after the duet?

I think that's his natural look! :lol:
I'm really not enjoying this years series. It went down hill after Luke and Natasha went, and has got worse ever since. They really need to get rid of John, she should have gone 3 nights ago. The guy can't hear what's being said to him, he can't hardly stand any more. They need to do a brinfg back someone vote, and get Luke and Natasha back!
I think im enjoying it better actually. John provided great entertainment and i was quite sad to see him go, I thought he did a good job singing Nelly furtati.
I think Mark and Sarah should win, he really has a voice. Brendan is good but i dont think he should win. As long as Hannah doesnt win i dont mind who does as i like Brendan and Mark.

Sarah is not that LEAST WELL KNOWN in the Opera circles ..
see this :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvX26eHF4jc
Now you will see why Sarah was struggling with other genere music,, I admire her work
shes a very talented woman i have to say, but it was nice now she was saying that Mark had been teaching her about his type of music. I thought that was nice of her to say. I cant believe she married Llyod Webber. I just cant see it, when ever she comes on stage.
I still think theres something about cricketers, and multi performers.
