"My friend has a nickname mumbo cause his mum had B.O" is not funny :bored:

This Musician on Violin is 10 Outta 10

I thought she sounded pretty good :love:

Leona was great again

Since when can Nicole Scherzinger sing opera? Wow...

Shame she can't actually sing any of her songs though

Was leona awful? apparently hate is going around :idc:

In the quiet parts she was a bit too quiet it was hard to hear her but otherwise it was pretty outstanding.

She was amazing as she is every live performance

Vocally she was fine, but it was because she did Hurt again (appalling song choice for her)

This was actually a good show overall, Barry Manilow didn't sound too good tonight but surprisingly I really enjoyed it all to be fair.

Really liked Pixie Lott, the 2 acrobats and the violinist.

Not one of the best I've seen :(

Loved Peter Kay though and the acrobats were amazing

Peter Kay was a great compere, liked it when he came out in the silly costume :)
