ITV Tonight Wednesday - The BAFTAs

[Lelly]

Don't forget tonight - Andrea singing with Celine Dion on the BAFTA awards show, 9.00 pm on ITV1.

[Lelly]

well I really hope you didn't miss it - because it was just FANTASTIC! He sang Maria from West Side Story - I've wanted to hear him sing that for as long as I've been a fan, and it was worth the wait. He looked very nervous to start with but he sang it beautifully - only he can produce those delicate, quavering notes at the end. Ah Andrea, you've done it again! And I've only just put my tablets away ...

[Tina]

Yes! I loved him singing that song! He sounded brilliant as ever! And Celine Dion was fantastic too!

[Lelly]

Yes, she was wasn't she? I thought they might do The Prayer, but this was better.

He seemed to start very suddenly, almost as if caught unawares.
That end note was ABsolutely beautiful

[Lelly]

I think he was a bit taken aback by the applause at the start - as if he wasn't expecting it! It's a very quiet start too, perhaps he was being considerate and didn't want to start until we could hear him - how nice!

Andrea was fantastic; he was very moving and sang 'MARIA' BEAUTIFULLY; it was a pleasant surprise to hear him sing this too. As i have said before and say again, we just dont get enough of Andrea on BRITISH T.V.

BEAUTIFUL! So emotional....so sweet....'Maria' really suited his voice.
You're right crocodileshoes, we just dont see enough of him on British TV.

It's interesting Jan, you saying it suited his voice, I was thinking just the opposite.
I loved the "Maria" bits, where he sang, and showed the power of his voice, and that last line was gorgeous, but I was not so keen on the bits in between.
It was lovely to see him though, and we got some great smiles.

Ah well, we've all got our personal preferences where Andrea's concerned We agree on the smiles though

Just as well he does such a variety of songs - something for everyone!

We have the radio concert to look forward to as well....I think we're being spoilt here in the UK, don't you ?

[kbarham]

Maria isn't one of my favourite songs but I really enjoyed Andrea singing it. I think it was because Andrea has this quality of putting so much emotion into his voice. It was beautiful........

[la Gioconda]

The most beautiful sound I ever heard...Andrea!

[annacelli]

Ohhh, you all make me feel sad, having missed it. No ITV in the Netherlands

[Lelly]

We have the radio concert to look forward to as well....

I wonder what my husband will think about me spending all evening with my ear glued to the radio on his birthday ...

[carolina1954]

Lesley, he will have other birthdays, but this is a one off ....

[Lelly]

Thanks Carolina, my sentiments exactly!

[kbarham]

Wish Rob Happy Birthday Lesley from us.............

[Michelle]

And from me too, Lesley!
