Tomorrow at 5.0'clock on Alan Titchmarsh show is the final of the Peoples Crooner competition.
One of the finalist was on Eric Hall's show today. His name is Atilla, and he's very good, but we will see.

I only caught up with this last Monday, so only saw snippets from the men. The lady I saw singing,and who won last week, was good-but not really a crooner, I did not think

Since the time change from A.T.s 3'o clock to 5'o clock slot. I hadn't watched the show much, and then realised that the crooners were only appearing and being judged on a Monday. The ones I did see were all quite good.

I thought you meant they had to vote for their favourite real crooner L&H .............I don't watch the show.

if he's the same,Atila sang with THE NATIONAL YOUTH JAZZ ORCHESTRA.

The Three guys were all good in the final, and good luck to Jason who was voted the winner.
What happened to Justinea with her version of "All Of Me " remains a mystery.
She didn't even have a good voice and was completely out of tune from the start. May be nerves.

I liked Jason the best as he seemed to have more confidence and personality, as well as a great voice of course. The other guys were very good too though and those things will come with more experience.
Poor Justina, but I think she just chose completely the wrong song for her.
I enjoyed the show today for a change.

Yes, Jason was good and deserved to win, and nice to see a good band ..The RAF Squadronaires to accompany them

I believe Mark Porter appears with them sometimes.

What a treat.More please

I thought Jason was best, although I also liked Alistair. To me Atila sang the wrong song. It was just the wrong contest for Justinea.

As I was watching it , I was thinking why doesn't Simon Cowell --or someone---Pete Waterman ???? do a "Swing Idol"----I bet there are loads of people who would love it---teenagers are not the only ones to watch TV. I would imagine there would be a good few entrants-perhaps not as many as "The x factor " etc, but that would be a good thing.

I think you mean Alexander Marian. I only remembered as I wrote them down to give them marks! Jason got 9, Alexander 7, Atila 8 and Justina 3.
Alexander must have felt really miffed though as all three judges chose him as the best!

Yes, Of course I meant Alexander----this was the first time Im had seen them all singing apart from snippets.

Whoever advised Alan to sing should be sacked,pronto!!

I've heard worse!!
