Popstar To Operastar
 

It appears Meat will be judging in a new celebrity singing competition, hosted by er...Myleene Klass and Alan Titchmarsh.

Well here's the link:

I'll reserve opinion. Who knows, it could be fun.

Well found! Could be interesting

intresting

sounds great!! meat will make a great judge:D
and great exposure:D

Meat Loaf and Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen? It'll be hankies at dawn if they disagree ... :lol:

I wonder how much weight Laurence's opinion is actually going to carry here?

"Ok, we've heard from one of the most successful rock artists of all time...Now let's see what the decorator thought." ;)

he he he,, good point!!

:lol:, but actually I don't see a problem - he does at least have his own show on Classic FM, and Meat isn't an opera singer anyway.

They seem well matched to me ... :lmao:

Lol - this sounds so bonkers that it could be absolutely GENIUS - looking forward to this one!

Thanks for the info Lorenzduke. Luv cx

Sounds cool I'm gonna Sky+ it. I hope Meat sings a new single at some point in the show.

Bound to I would think, if it is part of a deal with Universal. Maybe he could sing the theme tune???

I think this is going to be awesome exposure for Meat to a whole legion of people who maybe never heard of him or his music before, as well as any existing fans who are watching and not realising he is still around, AND a phenomenal platform for publicity for the new album! Sounds like a very promising start to the launch plans for the new album to me!

Also, I wonder if Meat is going to sing anything opera-stylee?

Now that would be cool

Well that sounds... er... different... Shall reserve judgement/opinion until I actually see it!

Myleene's Class :-P

:twisted: So it'll sort of be like Pavarotti & friends , only without the Pavarotti? :p

Hope Meat does at least one guest song at some point.

Should be good for a watch :up:

Was just looking on itv's website to see if there was any ticket info but of course nothing....though there is a small article about the show. Would probably be done in London anyhow...grrr...:(

I know the show is being produced by Anglia which is Norwich area but then that means little when it comes to where it's recorded.

Some news about the forthcoming show here

Thanks Andy :-)

For some reason I assumed this would be a BBC thing until you posted this link... ITV eh...? :roll:

Still, I'll be interested to hear what Marcella Detroit can belt out, and Blur 'singer' :lol: Alex James.

Good luck Meat! ;)

Marcella Detroit is amazing!!!

I still have "I Believe" rattling the bell-towers of my mp3 player :D what a song!

Saw the first advert for the show last night on ITV, although they just referred to the contestants' names and not those of the judges
