Someone might want to have a quiet word with the announcer at the beginning and remind him Media City is in Salford, not Manchester.

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Already looking forward to next week with Bonnie Tyler and Kerry Ellis Kerry is wearing green and singing Defying Gravity. Evening made. Kerry is on a retweet frenzy this evening! |

Yes, another great show. Love Jane singing One Voice and The Rose. Nice to see Sue Ravey too.

Another marvellous show. This is definitely my new Friday night guilty pleasure. Wasn't too sure about Bonnie's performance though!

I agree about Bonnie. Kerry was very good. The Voice is one of my favourite songs and Jane gave a great performance

Another cute show, the camp choir boy was FAB, yes agree about Bonnie - what was going on ? her voice had deteriorated.

Really enjoyed tonight’s show some great song choices Jane’s settling in well ... wish she had sang with the cute choir md (wish he was our md ) I know I’ll get a lot of flack but wasn’t mad on Kerry .... and Bonnie such a rocker but then sings to a backing track ? Had Janes live band nipped out for lunch ? She took some libertys with total eclipse but got through it ... just Every time I hear one voice reminds me of Lena zavaroni I’m sure way back in my mind I saw her on a royal variety it was the finale just her in a single spot ... then whole cast join in anyone else remember it can’t find it anywhere online  ? Was not long before she died ... x |

Just caught up with both episodes (thank God for fast forward) and wonder why JMD was miming through several numbers??? Also my previous admiration for Ms Ellis is now definitely over - what was all that mike grabbing? |

"Maybe This Time" was better than good. Kerry Ellis never disappoints on the fashion front, and I always like her rock "Defying Gravity."

I know she has dancers for some numbers, but I do wish Jane would be slightly less static and move a little!

I agree on her not moving enough. And do we think she mimes regularly? I don't want to think that she does, but the thought did cross my mind. I was watching reeeally closely to try and catch her out! I do love her though. Big hair and covered in sequins. Fabulous. Bonnie struggled, bless her. Maybe time to step down gracefully. I thought Kerry was great though. Never saw her in Wicked so it's great to hear her do those numbers live 😁

Not one emotional stone was left unturned in this week's stunning episode. This is not a guilty pleasure richey, this is like a shout it off the rooftops coming out party!
And what can we say about Ms Tyler? As Noel Coward once said "Good isn't the word".
Jane McDonald should be available on prescription from the NHS!

Catching up with this right now, enjoying it so far but ohh dear, Bonnie. I love that song, it's one of my all time favourites but she can't sing it anymore, such a shame.
Looking forward to hearing Kerry sing Defying Gravity.
