He won the semi-final last night, the final is on Sunday.

I don't know what he sounded like last night, my 1 year old Daughter sang all the way through his performance, but the judges were amazed by him again.

She (Maggie) was singing to our cat.

The cat has a few places to rest when she's had enough of Maggie's attention, she always "meeeaauuw’s" as she walks away and this often has Maggie trying to do the same, but Maggie has been singing lately with other kids at her playgroup, so she's started singing to the cat.

It was great to watch, but it was at about 21:30 and she should have been sleeping (mum & dad get up at 04:00), I will have to teach Maggie about a clock.

o.k. more singing

get ready to laugh and cry.

i read an article about this group and found some youtubes on them. profound, really...

here is an intro from the article:

Singing Coldplay's "Fix You," Knittle transforms the song into a powerful ballad about a grandfather's healing wisdom. It means something different coming from an 80-year-old retiree suffering from congestive heart failure.

Knittle is a singer for the Young@Heart Chorus, whose members range from 73 to 92 years old. Singing songs they shouldn't even know, at an age when they're expected to be sitting quietly somewhere, they subvert all accepted notions of old and young.

Songs by bands like the Radiohead, OutKast and Nirvana take on a new dimension when performed by these 23 foot-stomping senior citizens. "Fix You" or the Clash's "Should I Stay or Should I Go" become about life and death.

LB,

More great one's! Real mind benders, loved the old folks! I wanna be sedated has such a different meaning when they sing it.

Hope you'll let us all know what happens to opera man. I'm totally captivated by that guy!

Yes, he wins £100,000 and gets to perform at the 'Royal Variety Performance' in front of the Queen.
