If your partner is Mr McLachlan, you don't need me to tell you to be proud, but I will anyway. What a great story. Another reason to enjoy and you can tell the rest of the audience on here, what a saint our Jane is. Just in case anyone is in doubt.......

Another fabulous show again. Loving The Overtones. I wish there were more variety shows like this involving all our favourite musical performers.

Even though I live fairly close to Manchester's gay village, at my age it is unseemly to visit too often and then I have to ensure I observe the curfew which is applied to gentlemen of a certain age. Well, now I don't have to, because last nights' Jane and friends had more gay life than you can see in a month of Sundays on Canal Street.
A gay marriage proposal, an exemplary teacher who uses St Jane as a teaching aid (all I ever had was Gladys Aylward who didn't even look like Ingrid Bergman in "Inn of the sixth happiness")camp choons and male dancers.
Canal St is for losers.

Canal St is for losers. I have to agree with you there. Last night's show was definitely gayer than my recent visits to Canal Street

WOW tonight was amazing please tell me This is the Moment was not mimed.....such an incredible song! I can tell you it was not mimed. I have seen Jan sing this live many times and always with the same result. She can certainly hold that end note.

Sorry guys but the entire show is a mixture of live singing and miming - please watch carefully again. JMD is very very good at miming though and the camera shots are well placed but you CAN tell, the sound is all wrong. There was a moment (forget which number) when she was completely out of synch too. Oops. Think it's pretty bad really and even Russell Watson was at it. I mean they are meant to be singers after all.

This is the moment was definitely not mimed. I suspected some of the show was as the sound levels sound different. This must be down to production as whenever I have seen Jane live her vocals are outstanding and never a duff note. She is more than capable of singing live. The end finale may well be mimed, but I can't remember now which songs appear to have been mimed. More live though than mimed.

Ooh a warning of risquè language before tonight's show! Is Jane going to be even more saucy?

Not too sure on her enuncuation during Memory. T'other half thought she was singing "If you touch me, you'll remember what a penis is"

My partner, having watched just a few minutes of St Janes's wonderful entertainment tonight declared that she had more cheese than Wensleydale. I think he meant Wakefield really.
Her first appearance tonight showed how unpretentious she is - in a negligee first worn by Deborah Kerr in "Casino Royale".
She put little Lee Mead at ease for his rendition of a song from The Glums and then Jane showed us how great her research skills are by finding a nurse that cares about her child patients. She even found three girls who have the best mum in the world.
Jane clearly insisted that Elkie Brooks was so supremely talented, she didn't need to bother putting a comb through her hair to appear on TV. Ending the show by proving she could be the first female 007. She certainly left me shaken not stirred,

He was on the Christmas special, this was probably filmed at the same time as the series. He must be appearing again.

Prior to singing Memory for the caring nurse : “have you ever seen my Grizabella?” Priceless !

The end finale may well be mimed, but I can't remember now which songs appear to have been mimed. More live though than mimed. Jane is easily capable of belting out ‘This is the Moment’ live - I’ve heard her do it several times. However, I believe the last note is - and has always been since she started doing the song way back - click-tracked. When you hear it live, the sound is always subtly (but noticeably) different to the live vocals used for the rest of the song.

Much as I adore her (and I do), I take slight issue with anyone miming and passing it off as live. She's been singing for 30 years and made her name with her voice, there's no excuse or reason for copping out. If you can't sing the song, don't sing the song. In this case, if she is capable of belting it live (which I believe she is), she should either do the whole thing live or sing something else.

In this case, if she is capable of belting it live (which I believe she is), she should either do the whole thing live or sing something else. Or even just shorten the note at the end. I’ve heard that done by several male performers of that song. It sounds just as effective tbh. Frank Wildhorn (the composer of ‘This is the Monent’) has something of a penchant for excessively-long notes in several of his songs. Many performers - including the fantastic Thomas Borchert who sang it in the Vienna production of Jekyll & Hyde - simply shorten the note.
