Did anyone else go in the ballot for this?

I didn't get to see Chris and the team on their karaoke tour so was thrilled to be drawn in the ballot for this (although am more excited at seeing Take That again, to be fair), I bought my tickets this morning and am beyond excited, the line up is fab and it will be great to see Chris hosting the show.

<sorry if this has already been done>

I didnt even know there was a ballot! Are tickets still available?

[C-Kay]

Some journalist you are.....

[dannimaria]

I think any leftover tickets have been offered to people who weren't lucky enough to be picked in the ballot first time round. As far as I know it was only the stupidly expensive tickets left.

[bradcali]

Some journalist you are.....

I'm not a journalist

[C-Kay]

Sorry, trainee journalist

[Yudster]

He isn't that either. Substitute "wannabe" for "trainee" and you'd be nearer the mark.

[MK Chris]

And 'journalist' for 'churnalist'.

[dannimaria]

Well, I'm still excited about going to the concert even if no one else cares, you bunch of misogs

[Yudster]

I care, and I'm jealous! Have a great time - as though there was a viable alternative....!

[dannimaria]

I know! I'll try and take pictures if I'm allowed and post a couple here.

And thank you

sorry to bring back an oldish topic but is anyone else watching this now???

lilly allen is fit but only in a "shes dirty" way rather than actually being good looking. plus she is doing an annoying head flick thing at the end of every line she sings. but i still would like to pump her.

also as a little footnote there is no way chris is 14 stone lol what is he on about??!?!!?

[pinkysibbs]

Thought the show was brill!!

[Nicola_Red]

I thought it was mostly embarrassingly worthy and forced. All that "we're great showbiz mates" stuff, eurgh. I especially liked the way Dizzee Rascal tried to hold his hug with Dame Bassey for a second longer than she considered appropriate and she gave him that little "that's quite enough now" pat on the back. On the topic of Lily Allen, I don't understand why she was singing a song that a) sounds so much like a Take That song that they were able to merge the two seamlessly and b) is clearly in too low a key for her register...

[Yudster]

I didn't see the show but having heard the recording of that Lily Allen song, I agree completely, she did herself no favours vocally with that one. I wouldn't be surprised if they had to transpose it so that they could fit the Take That song with it (Mark Owen has vocal tuning and range issues too, so they would have had to keep him well in his "comfort" zone), because she really couldn't manage it at all.

[MK Chris]

I've heard the Lily Allen song that sounds exactly like the Take That song and I prefer the Take That version.

both crap

A nicely balanced, constructively critical review there from Quincy.
