    This is why I don't like musicals.

    Please don't judge all musicals on this. There are some great ones out there.

    Good luck being able to hear her in the theatre. She needs to project more.

    Yes don't let this put you off musicals - I love musicals but this is seriously crap.

    Harsh, shouting and of no beauty whatsoever!

    If more people joined in the songs would sound better. :)

    I was just coming on to say that tonight is a massive improvement on last week.

    I think I'm in the minority of one. :blush::D

    I miss the revolving stage at the end with them each hanging on to a cardboard letter.

    Suprised how well jack whitehall did tonight, never rated him but he did a fine job presenting. .really enjoyed . the main star should sing 3 songs,should be on 90 mins. Better game show needed too.

    can't take to him for some reason and thought he was average at best. and, not sure if it was intentional i.e. to build suspense, but he took an AGE to read the questions in the game show segment, even pausing for a couple of seconds in-between each one!

    overall i thought the show tonight was pretty dire, lionel richie is a class act (whether you like him or not) but other than him quite a poor show and, as we always say, variety seems to be almost off limits these days unless you fall into the category of singer, dancer, comedian. yes they had a little bit of 'variety' tonight i.e. the two guys behind the box, but even that wasn't overly impressive when you consider some of the class variety acts across the globe.

    Lionel aside, who isn't my sort of music, Bernie Clifton on his ostrich would have been better.

    You can see Bernie and his ostrich at the Palace Theatre, Newark, from December 5 in Snow White although I doubt ITV will be televising it:D

    The musical was dire. It was Annie with adults.

    I like the way when it came to the ending note, it wasn't even Arterton singing it, rather one of the ensemble who can actually sing. (and bloody well too from other shows she;s been in)
