`george formby" [christopher napier]

stars in their eyes kids (as  voluminously discussed at http site : forum.digitalspy.co.uk/board/showthread.php?t=332939  had a great george formby impressionist last saturday.

alas, he didn't win.

the show has a crackpot voting system whereby the winner is decided by the studio audience.

which doesn't seem a democratic way of conducting affairs.

although viewers at home can vote (via a premium rate number!) for one runner-up to appear in the final.

a nice moneyspinner for the programme - but it's only one runner-up maximally chosen after all the votes are totalled up from the complete run of shows.

for non-UKers who might not know george, he was a famous brit entertainer

christopher pic is when he appeared last year, to rapturous applause, at the convention.

We actually get that show here,,,,  sometimes.

I recently downloaded a performance from that show that I found posted to usenet. It was a boy about 11 or so doing a Donny Osmond song... he really looked the part too. It was apparently from an all kids episode. Unfortunately all the other kids looked much older and could probably have competed against adults. A pity the Donny Osmond kid didn't win. I liked his outfit.

i bring glad tidings from tellyland.

CHRISTOPHER WON THE FINAL!!

first of all the public voted him into it as the `wild card` out of all previous runners up.

then, nailbiting tension when the voting lines were opened.

finally he and `christina aguilera` were the only two left.

roars of applause when the host said christopher was the winner.
