Well I missed the second show but I'll defo watch the repeat because I was pleasantly surprised by the first show.

The best singers in this did not drop out of the charts because they lost any of their ability, in fact they've been practising their craft for twenty years some of them.

If you discount the ones who weren't much good in the first place i.e. Sonia who was a Stock, Aitken and Waterman manufactured creation, you're left with a pretty talented bunch. Possibly, on the whole, better than Pop Idol/ Popstars etc.
