Basically, the show took a bunch of “celebs” who are/were known for singing at one point or another and attempted to transform them into opera singers.

It was actually pretty good. The final saw Bernie Nolan and Darius Campbell (who appeared on another one of these “find the next famous singer” shows about 10 years ago) against each other.

Both are very talented singers, and Darius won. I’m actually glad he won. Not only is he very ridiculously good looking, he’s very talented and seems like a genuinely nice bloke.

I hope he has an album out soon! :)

Wasn’t a fan of Meatloaf’s judging abilities. :| didn’t really make much sense sticking him in the judging panel…? And Alan Titchmarsh as a host…? “Garden Digger To TV Host”? But what do I know…

And Myleene Klass… Nothing against her (half Asian girls are fabulous!)  - but she NEVER stood up straight. She was wearing all of these beautiful dresses and was schlepping across the stage and standing awkwardly with her legs looking all out of place.. very bizarre.. and her weird little pout thing that she’d do at the end of every sentence got a little irritating.. But she seems to be doing very well for herself! Just stand up straight, love!

Anyway, here’s a picture of the winner: Darius Campbell.

She was also nominated in the same category for the movie “It’s Complicated”. I initially thought she was a bit tipsy in her speech – but everyone was semi crying at the end, so they must have thought it was a good speech.

Here’s the clip of her acceptance speech below. What do you think?
