Maybe I dont have the best memory for remembering those who do win in the finals but after the show do we ever hear or see them again , they dont seem to go onto better brighter things or make more music . There is a big build up they are treated like stars then dumped . I wonder how they deal with it

My daughter is a musician now in her late 40s , when she was 18 she was selected to go on Stars in their eyes . I was there at the Manchester studios and watched the live filming . Remember when they walked through the vapour and looked like their idol, that was all filmed separately we watched each sequence it was cleverly put together took about 4 hours .

Daughter was Linda Perry from 4 non blondes singing "what's going on" she didnt win George Michael one and he was good . Matthew was the presenter and it is somewhere on you tube. Daughter was treated like a star for days , had her own silver star on her dressing room door ( which I still have today ) the moment the show was over she was dropped like a hot brick just like George Michael the winner . They all got paid £500.though .
She has gone on to become a music and drama teacher and still gigs and made a good living out of it .

Ahh memories

I agree, Tiff.

Don't particularly like Ollie's new hair-do much, but old Tom's still got it hasn't he. In fact I like him better now than when he was younger. He seems more of a gentleman now he has stopped trying to be such a sex symbol.

Watched a little bit-just because I like Tom.Don't like the new judge seems full of herself.Don't think I'll watch it again.Weekend programs are rubbish-except Call The Midwife.

I like the Voice and Tom Jones is my favourite coach on the programme. He still has his remarkably powerful voice and is respected by the other coaches. I love Call The Midwife.

I’m not too keen on the new judge/coach at the moment, she is too showy.....but that may change later.
