Starstruck

ITV have a root around in their cupboard and piece together elements from failing/failed shows of the past such as 'X Factor', 'The Voice' and 'Stars in their Eyes' to end up with this hideous Frankenstein's monster of 'entertainment', that I very much doubt will be remembered fondly.

Couldn't they have saved the money and saved 'Neighbours' instead?

Stars in their Eyes was a great show. It worked because it showcased the talent of an individual and the talent of the wardrobe team. It also had a good presenter and worked well as a show.

This was just auful. The presenters were too full of themselves and the focus was more on them and what they had to say. They fawned over ever star on the show so it made their dialogue pointless, and the presenter was just lacking any character.

The stars were ordinary people - but because the presentations were done as groups of three - none were able to shine as individuals. The musical numbers were rushed and lacked the pizazz of the original show. Again all the focus was on the judges - which it shouldn't be ! This type of show does not fit in the X-Factor style of presentation !

Just another failure by ITV !!

You could literally come out onto the stage and fart into the mic and the judges would swoon.

At least Adam tries to tell the truth 😂😂

This show needs to be less trophy for everyone and more harsh competition in order to survive.

I don't know what the judges are talking about when they praise these acts because even a non professional like myself can tell that they are really bad.

And that's why I love it.

Most of the acts are hilariously bad, with a smattering of really decent performances. The latest episode featured 3 guys having a stab at being Barry Gibb for the night, and I haven't laughed so hard in such a long time. So tonight Matthew, for that reason alone, I'm giving it a 9/10.

I'm guessing the viewing figures have been good enough to bring it back for a second season. Most of the judges are bit too forgiving, but at least Adam Lambert can be more cutting with his appraisal of a performance.

Just don't go in to this expecting too much, enjoy and treat it for what it is, light entertainment.
