Just the two of us

[Ravenfire]

Did anyone watch this tonight? And does anyone know which "Star" walked out, was it Rick Astley?

[Sarah]

He didn't exactly walk out Toni, someone just told me that his wife has been nominated for an oscar so he wanted to go to the ceremony with her, he couldn't do both. Can't blame him though!

[Bfglloyd]

Cant blame him, but he could of let them know rather than just not turning up or getting in touch with them! Thats just RUDE:tcwozerek

[Sarah]

I thought he did! That's new to me!

[Jess85]

Aww I'm really sad Chris and Jo lost? Anyone else think they were better than Sian and Russell?

[Ravenfire]

No I love Russell and Sian, I think they are great. And what a voice Russell has I would have him sing to me every night!! Stuart Copeland should just wish he had half the voice that Russell has.

[trai]

I do she only got through on the sympathy vote. Chris and jo were alot better. I hope Mark and Natasha win the final now.

[Jess85]

I don't like russell watson fair dos he has got a great voice but hes a bit of an idiot lol. I didn't want mark and natasha to win because i think they love themselves too much but they are better than sian and russell and deserve to win now :)

[coco]

I don't watch it but read so much adverse stuff about that Russell Watson that I wouldn't buy his stuff no matter how good it was - how sad am I ? lol

L xx

[Sarah]

Here's what he did when he got famous - bye bye family!

When he found he had a lump on his vocal cords: His future plans had included marriage to fiancée Roxana Valerio. But the wedding is off. The couple met while Russell was on tour in New York, about a year after his marriage to first wife Helen, the mother of his children, collapsed in 2001.

[Ravenfire]

So he isnt in touch with his family any more or is it that him and his wife are no longer together and he split with his fiancee? I goggled to get the gossip on him as I have never heard any but couldnt find anything!

[Ravenfire]

I think Chris has been out of tune quite a lot as well tbh, although he is only young so no doubt will have another go at a similar programme.

[Jess85]

Yeah he was out of tune in some bits I agree. I prefer him to Richard Fleeshman from Soapstar Superstar though! Dunno what the fuss is all about lol

[Sarah]

I think his kids were in the audience Toni, I couldn't find a lot on him. It didnt say he split with his fiancee it's just that they called the wedding off when they found the lump in his throat as he had to have surgery.

[Sarah]

Ok found this too - just a few snippets:
He later proposed to his new love on a canal bridge near where he then lived at Worsley, Salford. "Roxana and I split up about five or six months ago," he reveals. "I'm a single man now and enjoying it."

Also now in the past is a long-running legal dispute with a former management company. In 2004, a court ordered Russell to pay more than half a million pounds to his ex-managers.

Russell says his children help keep him grounded. "I was giggling away to myself a few weeks ago. I'd just got back from Malaysia, where I'd done a huge outdoor concert for the King and Queen. They then invited me to dinner, so there I was, chatting away with royalty. Next minute I'm flying back to Britain for Christmas and a couple of days later I'm wiping my five-year-old's nose and thinking, ah, the diversity of the music industry. The kids aren't really that impressed with what I do. But maybe if I was to duet with Will Young, then they might think I was cool."

[Ravenfire]

Richard Fleeshman seems lovely..thats all I can say on the matter because Im old enough to be his mum..lol. Would be lovely if one of my girls met someone like him though - not that much of an age gap between him and dd1!!!

[Sarah]

Richard Fleeshman - who?

[Ravenfire]

He won soapstar superstars. He is Craig in Coronation Street.

[Sarah]

Oh ok I don't think I saw that and I don't watch corrie.

[xmisscx]

Sian looks drunk on every show!

Hope Mark and Natasha win!!

[Sarah]

I've just voted for them - twice :laugh:

[xmisscx]

good choice!

[xmisscx]

No way!

Sian and Russel won, they were cr@p! and so didnt deserve it.

[Sarah]

What a farce! Once again the british public have voted for the person they like the best (russell watson) and not the most talented. It makes me soooo cross, when will the penny drop - you vote for the most talented and the person who can SING the best, not the person you like the best :hissyfit:

[Ravenfire]

Yayy my favourites won:woot: guess Im in the minority then..lol!!

[Sarah]

Yes I think you are Toni! :laugh: I liked Sian and Russell well enough, but Mark is the much better singer.

[xmisscx]

oh Toni! what are you thinking woman lol did u vote aswell??

[Ravenfire]

Not tonight but I did last night...well it was titled "Just the TWO of us" so I didnt base it on just the non-singer I based it on the singers as well and Russell is "The Voice"!!!!

[Sarah]

But you wanted Gaynor to win the ice skating you didn't mention her partner ;) I didn't take the professional into consideration, just the 'learner'. I actually didn't particularly like Natasha although she's got a fair voice.

[judithbl]

Arrgghhh - nooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! Not THE VOICE!!!!!!!! Can't believe it - Sian wouldn't win a Karaoke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bum!

Judith

[K8ELOU]

I am gutted that Sian and Russell won.

I have decided that it is a complete fix

Since when does shouting out of key pass for singing????????????:no:

[Ravenfire]

Ahh yes but the ice skating wasnt called the two of us :tcwozerek . Ok I admit it Im just not that keen on Natasha Hamilton although it has to be said she has a far better voice than I realised!

[K8ELOU]

I cannot believe that Stefan lost Dancing on Ice. His bottom was so scrummy. He got my vote anyway ***party**

[judithbl]

Hmmmm....yes, Stefan's bum.....dream dream dream

Judith

[trai]

I couldn't believe Sian and Russell won, she sounded like a cat being strangled. These shows are a fix, mark was the best and should have wonIi didn't like Natasha before but i was surprised by how good she was.

[Jess85]

Does Russell Watson have a new album coming out?? Maybe it was fixed for his publicity...

[Sarah]

It's not fixed it's just that the public vote for the personality they like the best (ie Watson) and not the person who was the best at whatever the competition was about. That's why Kelly Holmes stayed in the ice skating so long even though she was one of the weakest skaters, it's because she won gold medals (and all credit to her for that) and they public liked her so they kept voting for her. It was the same with that Christopher whatsisname that won the strictly come dancing, even though he was a crap dancer - he won because he's in eastenders and people liked him so they voted for him!
What can ya do?? :unsure:

[Ravenfire]

I didnt like Kelly Holmes and must admit I thought she would go earlier. Christopher didnt win strictly come dancing it was Natasha Kaplinksy. I love that show one of my favourites. I agree though people definitely vote for the personalities they like.

[Sarah]

Sorry I almost wrote that, I couldn't remember whether he won it, just that he stayed in far too long. Was he in the final?

[Ravenfire]

I think he got down to either the last 3 of 4 and I agree he definitely was not one of the better ones..but aww he was so nice! I love it when you get the funny ones such as Julian Clary and I thought Will was great in the recent one.

[Jess85]

Lol yeah I guess... Mark was definitely better than Sian aswell and although I thought Natasha was a bit up herself I thought they deserved to win. Lol nevermind eh? :)

[bikemad]

Mark n Natsha were better by miles but im biased cos that Mark is soooooooooooooooooo good looking!!!!!He looks like me ex that I was with between ds's bd n my now dp.
