I thought Russell did a brilliant Job!
I thought he gave it a good shot and although he looked a little intimidated by Meat (and who wouldn't be) for him to give it a go at all shows he was a good sport, and Meat seemed impressed by his efforts at the end too. He obviously has the strength in his voice, but I think one of the rock ballads would suit him much better. I did feel that the programme could have been a bit longer, seemed that a lot had been cut out, which was a pity.
I enjoyed hearing him jamming with Saxon, and he seemed much more at ease with them, which showed in his voice. It's no mean feat for anyone to try doing what he did...to be thrown in at the deep end to sing BOOH in front of a whole auditorium of Meat fans??
Takes a brave man indeed!! He wasn't trying to outdo Meat, and isn't intent on swapping his operatic career for one in the rock business, he simply did it to 'have a go' because he got that opportunity (which one of us wouldn't have done the same?) ....and to entertain, and entertainment it was!
I agree with some previous comments about his sexiness too!! oohhh!! he can practise on me anytime!!!
One more thing....forget who said it, but there was a comment about no-one looking as good in a long leather coat as Meat......eh hum *coughing*...you ain't seen how cool my son looks in one!!!!!!
