John and Denise look completely confused when Barry speaks. He seems really pervy to me.
Barry Humphries is relaxed, unlike foghorn Barrowman. His comments are sharp-witted and pithy. Denise and John’s comments are formulaic, stale and clichéd. Denise and John don’t appear to have the capacity to understand Humphries. Hence the confused looks.

Also I still think Zoe should be there.
Oh Dear.
I was in total agreement with you until that last sentence:(
I must have had my ears closed off . What did he say to Sam tonight?
That post you quoted was about last week's show. I don't think he said anything too unnerving too her tonight, but to be honest I was too annoyed by what John Barrowman had said just before him - he really was talking rubbish tonight imo :rolleyes:
The comment Barry made about Francesca was really unnecessary though
Also, I'm pretty sure he is the only person to have played Fagin twice in the West End, once in 1960 (in the original production) and in 1997.
No, Ron Moody played Fagin in the original 1960 London production. Barry Humphries was in the cast as Mr Sowerberry. He played Fagin in the 1967 revival and then again in the 1997 revival.
First time i've seen this show, and the BBC should cut their losses and get rid of Barry
What a bumbling silly old man
I read that there was some desperation to get Barry on the show but I agree I dont think he is adding anything. He just basically slobbers over the all the girls and ........well just slobbers over all the girls.
The only one really worth listening to last series was Zoe Tyler. At least she actually knew what she was talking about when she commented on the singing and technicalities of the vocal performance. Denise Whateverhernameis is basically John Barrowman #2 - just someone who's been on the West End at some point, only less critical and insightful. Barry Humphries is the same, only he seems a bit drunk all the time and tells everyone they were "magnificent", reserving an extra bit of breath for the 17-year-old girls so he can tell them how sexy they are. (shudder)
It's a sad day when John Barrowman has become the only one on the panel worth listening to.

If you find it this alarming perhaps you should hit the off button and give it all a miss!
I am loving Barry Humphries and have always liked DVO and JB too. My only criticism is that they have been a bit too nice so far this series but it's early days and no doubt the comments will get more personal as the competition progresses.
I do think John B gets a bit over excited at times, but he isn't afraid to say what he feels; likewise Denise, some of her comments are quite constructive. But I really can't stand Barry H. He seems as creepy as his alta ego Les Patterson, and about as obnoxious. He has nothing constructive to say, just thinks all the girls are wonderful etc etc etc. The body language from John and Denise suggest they are uncomfortable with him.

Just to reitierate what I said earlier:

RedWhiteandBlue: Whereas that was Barrowman's job on the Joseph programme (but with guys instead of girls of course)
Seriously though the old guy is probably all talk and no action anyway.
If he likes the look of them and bigs them up, rather than tearing them apart, I don't think they will be complaining.
These actresses are auditioning for a part as a gin drinking prostitute who is beaten to death by her boyfriend. If they are upset by a saucy comment from BH I doubt they'll make a convincing Nancy.
Having met BH, I have no doubt that behind the scenes he will be offer the young hopefuls lots of constructive advice and don't be surprised if you see them appear in future BH shows. He is very loyal and supportive to people who he rates.

Why oh dear? We don't have to agree on everything.
He out-van-outens DVA by larding on the praise then makes comments like the one about being milk fed which are pure Dame Edna.
He also seems to have a bit more empathy with the situation the girls are in and isn't going for a big round of applause like Barrowman.
Or maybe if I've started liking Barry Humphries' judging I need to get out more! :eek:

And Denise's!!!
Yes, Denise was a really dirty old(er) woman in the Joseph series!:D
Why, what's he going to do?
Seems quite harmless to me.
i just wouldnt like some pervy old man perving over me, thats why i would be scared if i were them
Don't go on the stage then!:p

I do however take note of ALW only because I like to have a little punt here and there and he makes the decisions.
I find Barry quite eccentric and therefore fun:)
