You can be the best singer in the world, but if you don't possess that charisma then It's boring..

Jane Mc'donald is a born entertainer, has charisma by the bucketful.

She might not be the best singer in the world, but she certainly knows how to connect with an audience......

Leave her alone, she's one of us.

Got the hots for her Padders?

She is number 3 on my hot list...

No 1 is Kathryn Jenkins (swoon)

No 2 is Amanda Holden.

Allan Carr was disappointing because he kept rushing and mumbling the punch lines. The audience felt obliged to laugh, even though they didn’t “ get it “ When I think of comedians like Bob Monkhouse and  Joan Rivers, they could blind these lot today !

You should have watched the Snooker on t'other channel, now that was entertaining...

Ronnie O'sullivan winning 10-8.

Didn’t know snooker was on. I like Ronnie O’Sullivan especially when he bends over the snooker table in those tight trousers ! Also I like to see a man in a waistcoat,which snooker players brought back into fashion. My favourite though was Alex Higgins.

Alex Higgins-----------The gifted idiot.

 

Now he could put bums on seats, The Peoples Champion.......

He was my favourite as well.

He was sat facing me in a waiting room station in the 1980s,  he looked sad,  he'd probably been to see his ex-wife in Cheshire.

I had the misfortune to catch most of this, wow this country has produced some great entertainers over the years but most of them last night, jeez, I thought Ann Marie was OK as were the guys doing the balancing act, Alan Carr has never been funny, why people think having an annoying camp voice is entertaining I'll never know, I think he summed it up himself at one point, as for the likes of Rod Stewart and Elvis Costello, you would think they'd retire gracefully having had successful careers rather than stringing it out to an embarrassingly poor end, and the mainstream comedians now are just bloody awful.

I agree with everything you say. Even Paul McCartney would have been better than Rod Stuart.

He was an exciting player to watch, but I think smoking and drinking ruined his health.
