Yeh, it's Russell Watson, he deserves a bit of luck, he's just come back off his deathbed. He'd been really ill for the past two or three years.
"I fight off a brain tumour and this is how they repay me?" It sounded like the sound almost futzed up during the second attempt, too...
I think he has had a brain tumour twice now in the last few years, he's a big mate of Hatton's. It was funny though, left the room after his first attempt...went upstairs for a **** came back down and he was still singing it!
It's also the British national anthem. The Welsh, Scots and Irish have their own individual anthems and play them all the time at events...so why can't we... As far as monachy goes: The queen seems a nice enough woman, but other wise I'm not for them either...
not sure if it was the stream but it sounded very weird, almost haunting. Went on way too long as well.
