I listened a bit on Radio 2 when they played Please Please me. It was awful. The two guys couldn't hit most of the notes
at all.

Watching this now and watching the guy sing Do you want to know a Secret. I don't know who he is.. If he is a song writer he needs to stick to that. He is butchering this song.

My question is... how the hell did the Beeb decide who would sing these songs. GAWD! It's bloody painful

Only one passable I reckon so far was the Stereophonics doign I Saw Her Standing There.

Do you want to know a secret was painful.

I'm really enjoying it but it shows what great performers The Beatles were as I agree that so far only the Stereophonics have come close to matching them.

Do You Want to Know a Secret was dire

The rest have been pretty good methinks, Paul Carrack has a great voice

It was Ian Broudie, producer extraordinaire and creative force behind The Lightning Seeds.

I agree. They should have let the Radio 1 crowd have a go at it and put it on BBC3. I reckon the likes of Cheryl Cole, Tulisa, Will.I.Am and Emelie Sandie would do it justice
