It's a shame that older contestants don't get much success in these shows, and that his age is going to be a major factor but I still think he had a good voice. I remember the older woman and gentleman last year who got through to bootcamp and then began dating....
Aww it was great to see him. He was in front of us in the line at the London Auditions and despite being in the freezing rain for 3 hours he was always smiling and dancing along to the music and doing Fred Astaire type dancing with his brolly. He certainly brightened it up for us while we were waiting. I had no idea he was 80 though! I am gobsmacked. What a great guy.
Cyril is an absolute star, gentleman, performer and all round top bloke! I interviewed him today for my breakfast show on the radio. He was so funny, clued up and seemed to enjoy every moment of the interview. He is a star!
