Shirley Bassey
Still got a fantastic voice. Can't believe she's 77 ! I love the theme songs from the Bond films she's done.

Great to see a real SUPERSTAR on tonight. Thought she was brilliant and I'd be more than happy to have her on again next week.

Love Shirley. Love how she BOOMED that first "GOLDFINNNNNNNGAH" like it was whale song. She's got the finesse of an oil tanker bless her, but always such fun. Give her to Anton next series.

The first great singer of the series - can't believe how strong her voice still is! Legend.

She was stunning in every way IMO and not too precious to share the floor with the SCD dancers like some lesser stars.
I loved both the dance and the musical performances. A Maz ing. |

Yes - a legend like her and the camera panned away from her and onto the dancers quite often (in fact, I wish they'd stayed on her a lot more). I'd far rather listen to and watch her than Annie Lennox, the only one (I think?) who hasn't had dancers

What an insult to put the dancers on during her performance. Has anyone heard her sing live? I've been to many of her concerts over the years and to hear her 'in the flesh' is wonderful.

Annie Lennox is a diva (with a small d)
Bassey is a Diva |

I don't think it's an insult to have dancers on with the singers - and a superstar like Shirley commands attention anyway.
Personally I'd have refused Annie Lennox. If she wanted the change the nature of the show then bog off and get some free advertising somewhere else! Like a music show not a dance show! Dame Shirley ROCKS. |

Incredible to realise that she is thirty years older than Judy Garland when she died, and her voice is as strong as ever. Shirley is what I call a STAR! that word is so overused these days, but she is one of the few who really deserves that title.

I think the BBC should have used a top notch amplification system complete with an app that ensures that the singer always hits the right note.
![]() Also, I'm not a fan of the bottoxed older face. An aged face shows survival and experience. I'd much rather see that than faux youthfulness any day. |

Sorry not a great fan and the beginning was not good, but I can understand why some might like her and she is going well for her age, better than some younger singers for sure.

We thought she was incredible! Also, thought the dancers worked like the James Bond credits.

I agree with those who thought she was brilliant. I was a bit scared that she'd disappoint (as so many have this series unfortunately) but absolutely not.
