The line-up for this really is the sound of a barrel being scraped slowly.

What a great name for a show, too bad I don't like Queen though.

Myleene Klass is on as well, as is Tony "I Want To Ride My Bicycle... To Amarillo" Christie. Could be a good watch for comedic purposes.

Apparently Lesley Garrat is singing with G4.
The line-up would be presentable if it wasn't for the Corrie people. No-one with proper credibility would risk going on something so obviously designed by the ITV1-lite committee, which is a shame.

This line up is awful as was the last mania programme, (Abba Mania 2). The old shows used to be at least watchable, eg Grease Mania, Disco Mania, Motown Mania etc,

I shudder to think what the real line-up will be for the upcoming Madonna Mania...
Corrie's Candice doing 'Material Girl', anyone?

As far as I can remember it was a crowd of soap stars> Leanne Battersby from Coronation Street, Debbie & Steph Dean from Hollyoaks, Sheelagh Murphy from the Bill, cant remember who else......

I wish they would put some good pop acts on, like Girls Aloud, the 411, Rachel Stevens. People like G4, Mel C, Tony whatsy face are not that good as in people wont sit down and watch them on a saturday night. suppose Milean Klass is good. All the other mania's they have done were gr8, espeally Grease.
And why do they always put people from corrie on, surrane jones was good ye, and the 3 young1s, but why milk it, why?

And she's already been on two Celebrity Stars In Their Eyes. Yes, one of those times she got beaten by Brian Blessed. However her best performance was Discomania where she did "Lady Marmalade" and seemed to be under the impression Lucy Jo Hudson and Tina O'Brien were actually her backing singers. If you can get hold ot the "Funk Fit" DVD do so as whilst Lucy and Tina are doing the fitness routine (badly in Tina's case) Nikki appears to be auditioning for Spearmint Rhino.

These shows aren't as good as what they used to be - I would love to see a EurovisionMania - that would be excellent ...

I am holding out for SinittaMania.
Candice could do 'I Don't Believe In Miracles'.

I quite enjoyed it - apart from Toyah and the Corrie Queens! Tony Christie was so-so, as was Myleene Klaas, but everyone else was OK. G4 and Lesley Garrett were excellent singing Barcelona.

it was as crap as i thought, definately scrapping the barrel.Toyah? G4 stole the show though, they were great, i know loads of people dont like them but they saved the show. that duet with Garret was brilliant. im a bit bored of these shows though.

I have always been of the opinion no once can cover a Queen song and do it justice and this show proved my theory apart from G4 and Lesley Garret. They actually gave me goosebumps. Although it was really the lead G4 singer the other three were really redundant.
Russel Watson wasn't too bad and the rest were awful

I read somewhere (was it here?) that G4 were "the blonde one, the two fat ones and the man from C&A"!

I obviously have a different taste in music. Barcelona sent me screaming for the TV control to turn over to anything other than the sound that was assailing my eardrums. Dreadful!
The only mania programme I've ever managed to see through to its end was Greasemania.

I thought most of them were crap.
G4 and Lesley Garrett were amazing, hence the standing ovation.
G4 doing bo Rhap, pah. Bored now.
Liked Myleen. Hated Toyah. Corrie queens were hilarious. Russell Watson was so- so. The rest were blahh.
