Amazing Numan Impersonator
January 22nd, 2010He’s good! Is he lip syncing? What do you think?
Apparently the British TV show “Stars in their eyes” is not a lip sync show: Stars in Their Eyes is a talent show where contestants get the chance to appear and sing, as a famous singer. The show is most importantly a ’soundalike’ show, but they are also dressed up to look as close as possible to the singer they are impersonating, often with wigs and heavy makeup. The contestants appear firstly as themselves, talking briefly to the host about their lives and who they are going to be performing as, finishing with the now famous catchphrase ‘Tonight [presenter name] I’m going to be…’ The contestants then disappear through the equally famous doors, and reappear as the famous singer they are going to impersonate (The word ’singer’ could be used loosely as in 1997 Julian Clary who is not known for his vocal skills was impersonated on the show by Steve Edward). At the end of the show, the studio audience vote for their favourite, and the winner is announced. The winners from each show in the series return for the series finale, the live grand final. In the live grand final, the winners of each show return and perform once more. At the end of the performances, the phone lines open and the viewing public get the chance to phone in and vote for their favourite. The winner is announced later the same evening in a separate broadcast.
