Tonight Matthew I Am Having A Guinness!!…. ------------------------------------------
I don’t even know why I watch this show as it takes up time on my Saturday night. I am invited out to so many parties at the weekend that I use watching this show as an excuse not to offend folk……The show is on ITV and is usually on just after 6pm on saturday night.........
------------------------------------------
So what is the show about, you can’t be serious can you. It stars that tall guy with the grey beard, no not Santa, Matthew Kelly. My guess is you either hate Kelly or you like him, personally I find him ok but that’s because I am so easy going and get on with most people…….

There are five contestants every week who feel this urge to make absolute fools of themselves. That is what I like about Ciao, you don’t have to leave the house to make a fool of yourself…. --------------------------------------------
I wouldn’t mind if they had even a small amount of talent but they are so crap its beyond believe. And then they have the cheek to pretend a friend or family member put their name forward for the show. How do I know they applied themselves, easy, firstly those losers have no friends and if you were related to them would you want people to know….. ---------------------------------------------
So anyway on with the show. They come on one at a time and have a chat with Matthew first. We see them in their workplace and we hear about their music likes. They then go out of the studio and reappear as who they are going to be. Now I don’t know about you but either I have not drunk enough or these people are copying someone else because they look nothing like the artist they are copying…….. ---------------------------------------------
Then comes the big build up, they slowly walk down the steps and burst into song. The audience start to clap and cheer and I am looking around the stage to see if someone else is on the stage. Then I realise that by some miracle they are applauding the loser, totally unreal…….. ---------------------------------------------
Anyway after the five have destroyed 5 good songs its down to the audience to vote who they thought was the best. Don’t even try to guess the winner as it is easier picking the winner of the Grand National. The audience must either be on the drink or Matthew Kelly knows them personally, its fixed….
--------------------------------------------- In fairness though the show has stood the test of time and does have a peak Saturday viewing time. They always ended the show with the winner singing the song again and they still do. But they have now added an extra feature that shows the winner arriving at the studio and going through their time getting changed and learning all the routines…….. ---------------------------------------------
Joking aside I must hold my hand up and admit I like the show, I enjoy watching people that have the nerve to stand up and sing in front of millions. I also think Matthew Kelly is a great host and a bit like Cilla Black in that he makes the people feel at ease when they appear on the show……….. ---------------------------------------------
Anyway thanks for yet another few minutes of your time, have a good week and if you could please leave a comment on what you thought of my style of writing……………….. Cheers…….. Art!…………………
Advantages: Something to watch when home alone on a Saturday night Disadvantages: Some of the people on the show
Love it or hate it, I think that most people have watched “Stars in their eyes” at some time. But just in case you have never seen it here is what happens.
Ordinary people, who have been convinced they can sing by their friends and relatives, attend auditions for the show. Five winners go on the one-hour programmes screened on Saturday nights, got up as well-known singers and perform one of their hits. Each week one contestant is voted ... ...where an overall winner is picked.
The host of this programme is the sycophantic Matthew Kelly. I don’t mean to run him down, his kindness to some of these poor, deluded souls knows no limits. Matthew has a brief chat to the contestant and a short video of them going about their daily lives is televised. During this time he seems very adept at putting the sometimes very nervous people at their ease. We then hear them utter those famous “Tonight ...

Advantages: Bad enough to be good Disadvantages: Bad enough to be terrible
Watching Stars In Their Eyes is the televisual equivalent of being asked to rub the delightful feet of one of Marge's sisters in the Simpsons, quite simply the sort of gut wrenchingly awful experience which sends an unpleasant shiver down the spine of every right thinking individual.
There is truly nothing more chilling than hearing that godawful catchphrase "Tonight Matthew I'm going to be ..." and to hear, hear, hear it is to hate, hate, hate ... ...back in the days of the King of Prime Time Pap, Leslie Crowther, but the advent of the cloyingly nice Matthew Kelly has, if anything, brought it to a whole new depth. I bet there are a very small number of you who remember when Crowther was king and Matty Lad has been at the helm for several years now. The problem is that Matthew is so wholesome and pleasant and out and out cosy that there is just no redeeming feature ... AT ALL.
Okay, I'll come ...

Advantages: appeals to all ages Disadvantages: you might not have heard of all the acts
'Tonight Matthew, I'm going to be...' Those immortal words have become the staple of Saturday night TV along with Cilla Black, the National Lottery and duff films. After over 10 years, it is still going strong, and will be back for another series in 2002. It was originally hosted by Leslie Crowther, although Matthew Kelly (perhaps best known for 'You Bet' and 'Game For A Laugh' previously) took over soon afterwards following Crowther's premature ... ...5 ordinary members of the public dress up as a singer of their choice, and belt out one of their classics. Pretty much every singer you can think of has been done at some point (although I'm still waiting for a plucky contender to sing 'Anyone Can Fall In Love' dressed up to the nines as Anita Dobson, but here's to hoping...). The standard is usually very high, and it just goes to show that there really are good singers out there. However, you can't ...

Advantages: Great show, different format to other shows of its kind, great presenting. Disadvantages: Annoying time fillers, too much make up, wouldnt survive now.
...Saturday nights on ITV1 (just ITV back then). The concept of the show is that members of the public would write in to say who they looked and sounded like when singing and then some of them would be selected to go on to the show and then perform in front of the live audience and for the members of the public at home. Before the performance there would be an introduction to the person and you would be told their name, where they came from & what they ... ...around their homes too and I never thought that this had any purpose to the show other than as a time filler. Once the act had their make-up done and were ready they emerged through some smoke and then out on to the stage to do their performance. I remember the first questions to be asked & answered in our house were do they look like the person they think they sound like & do they sound like them? The make-up team normally did a very good job but ...

Advantages: a good laugh, entertaining Disadvantages: sat for a long time, boring in parts
Last night my husband and I got invited from my workmate to see "Stars in their Eyes" being filmed.
She worked for Granada before they merged with Radio Rentals and are now called Boxclever, she still is on the mailing list for free tickets to Granada Studios.
We joined the long queue at 6.20pm and by 6.30, they let the 200 ish people in.
You entered through the gates and went past the Rovers return, into the studio.
We passed a little room which ... ...at the end, waiting to see who was the winner.
You could sit where you wanted, everybody gasped in amazement on how small the stage was.
In fact the audience area was very small.
They must have super imposed the audience to make it look as though there was more of us.
The stage though was very effective, it had all different lights around it, they changed into all different colours and sequences.
The curtains around the side of the building ...
