I agree with you on everything except the part about it being his show. He was actually a guest on her show, but I still don't see what the problem is. They chose to sing opera and humour it up a bit, and, like you said, if someone doesn't like it they should just stop watching it and stop ruining it for us by complaining about it.

It's not sung like Lloyd Webber, but you can hardly expect Michael to do as professional a job as someone trianed in that specific music. And even so he does a good job.

Too bad her fans don't match that class.

did michael ball and lesley garrett ever have an affair because he always seem to like singing with her

[flowersings]

I really like her voice, but the acting is terrible!!!

They do another duet from the same opera - "Lesley Garrett and Michael Ball - The Magic Flute"

That was sweet - I was an opera singer, and that was one of the cutest versions of that I've ever seen - sure Michael isn't perfect, but I'd much rather have seen that then some of teh dreadful papagenos I've seen!

They both did a wondeful job, I'm training in opera and musical theatre, so it's wonderful to see them together! Thankyou ever so much for posting!

Someone like Bryn Terfel and Lesley are bound to have the edge they have trained afterall. Michael is not trained and doesn't claim to be an opera singer in any way shape or form. This was a bit of fun for Lesleys tv show. I don't think Michael lets himself down at all here and give him a musical theatre song and he is in his ellement.

i totally, totally agree. You said it so well.I'm at "opera school" as we jokingly call it, and i've grown up listening to him at Les Mis, musical theatre stuff, and he is AMAZING. He as great presence on stage and commands the area he is in. He doesn't quite match up at the classical i don't think... maybe because he sings so "forward"? But he has a lovely rich voice for musical roles. Someone like Bryn Terfel etc definitly have the edge on this stuff though!

I just don't think Michael Ball is up for it... most classically trained male singers would cover the girl's voice rather than the other way around... but well, this IS the other way around... I think Michael Ball can top musical singing better than classical singing...
