Of course I'm a Michael Ball fan but no-one needs to run! I'm all for everyone having their own opinion.
I am guessing I will like Eddie, just as I genuinely enjoyed Gareth Gates and others in the stage version, which I have seen umpteen times.
But, as to Michael Ball's voice, well, that is something that remains unsurpassed. So far!

Agreed!!!! I enjoyed Eddie's performance more than I ever thought I would....but I've been listening to the 10th anniversary concert cd since I got back from the film...
