Stars in Their Eyes Live Final 1993

[@Hedge_witch]

Me and my dad used to hunker down when my mum was on a night shift with a bag of sweets and watch this together. What I wouldn't give to crack this on with a bag of Revels to share with my dad today 💚

[@AmaanStorm]

One of my all time favourite shows. I remember my parents tuning in to watch it after my dad got in from work. Id sit with them and we'd pick our winner. So much better than the crap that passes as Saturday night entertainment now a days.

[@JennyAmponsah]

Couldn’t agree more - I hardly watch anything on Saturday night now, it’s Netflix for me usually!

[@thefonzkiss]

Back when family TV was still worth watching.

[@clarky2356]

To right 👍 it's rubbish now

[@claireadams6214]

Should bring it back, trouble is, recent music isn't music!!

[@VernomChadwick]

Yea. I. Agree. 🩵

[@blackporscheroadster-yw8hb]

It was complete and utter crap.

[@thefonzkiss]

@@blackporscheroadster-yw8hb sounds like you had a sad life bro

[@hunnypotbuzz]

Back when singing competitions weren’t full of criticism of their contestants. Stars in Their Eyes was wholesome family TV. And Matthew Kelly was a fab host. I would have been 13 when this episode aired. Miss those days. Miss the 90’s.

[@JennyAmponsah]

I agree! I was 11 when this aired and I remember it so well!

[@cerimiller6219]

And no-one has a sob story!! Just about the talent!

[@denisesaunders5473]

i was 33 that year now am almost 64.how the years fly by.

[@bryanyeo1745]

Yes same as me

[@saskia6750]

same 1970 !

[@robbialexander8322]

Were you on the show?

[@denisesaunders5473]

​@@robbialexander8322no i used to watch it.

[@22manky]

Watching this in 2020 lockdown thanks for the memories

[@marcusphoenixish]

I really do miss these days

[@Boilingfrogg]

You actually fell for the bs 🤣

[@Boilingfrogg]

​@@marcusphoenixishWho else was taken in by the bs? I wasn't

[@christinewynter2036]

I used to love watching stars in their eyes it was fun show and Mathew Kelly was great and the contestants where good singer's in their own right i wish they would bring it back, thanks for showing it on utub it brings back memories of how good those songs were i like the boy George act me and my sister use to dance in my living room to boy George and other songs of the 80s &90 we had some good times then i also love patsy clyne and mo town rod Stewart and some Barry Manalow songs thows were the days.

[@softshallow7435]

It was bought back once more after this with Cat Dealey as host. Altogether 3 times, first time Leslie Crowther, Second time Matthew Kelly, third time Cat Dealey.

[@LUFC123]

Davina Mccall did it too

[@novakingood3788]

Maximum props for the in-house band/orchestra too!

[@julz3tt3]

Peter noon looked and sounded like him. Absolutely fantastic. Xxx

[@IanBrownMakeUpArtist]

The lady who did Alison Moyet was amazing, she had the voice down so well, it was uncanny.

[@DistantCousin]

She made a decent career out of it for most of the 90s

[@lennywebb6740]

I agree. I don't know if she wins or not yet because I haven't seen the end but she is definitely the best so far!

[@paulwaters7834]

she was flat

[@ljmcdonald2703]

Jacqui Cann

[@omarnour348]

NGL, I thought she butchered the chorus. Excellent, otherwise.

[@nicoladennis373]

When I was little this was on at night watching it with my parents and brother who was usually asleep now it's nostalgic and bitter sweet

[@hughcampbell463]

Brilliant tv was really a family thing on a Saturday evening remember babysitting with my girlfriend watching this

[@loullabelle80]

Didn't realise Johnny Robinson was on this- I just remember him on X Factor!

[@benjaminclements1650]

Neither did i

[@rebelnaylor8505]

Brilliantly done series and some of the competitors were off the charts. Brilliant. Is everything of quality we ever had now gone? I think so.

[@platosays3721]

I saw the best winners in Worthing theatre. Neil Diamond, Cher, Edith Piaf and Roger Whittacker. It was a brilliant night, must have been about same time as this video

[@marksaffer5503]

Boy George I was not a fan because of that fateful song. But then I saw and heard what you did for that girl on the voice and I am so impressed. I also liked the transformation from 1993 Boy Gorge to 2002 Boy George is amazing. Thank for changing my mind on a great artist!!!!!

[@nickpritchard7130]

What a great show !! Neil Diamond and Alison Moyet were fantastic !!

[@DistantCousin]

Matthew Kelly was INCREDIBLY camp, looking back!!

[@NW-lv9gb]

Kenny Rogers really looked like the original. Sounded like him too. RIP Kenny💛

[@figureofhope]

Lovely bit of TV, brought back great memories! Also when Boy George came out I nearly fell out my chair haha! 🤣😂

[@gemmalouisemountford6043]

Why it was obviously obvious.

[@robertgibson1036]

But the boy George was funny and entertaining

[@julz3tt3]

I was 8. It was one of the best grand finales but then again the woman who was Shirley Bassey winning in one of the grand finales was epic.

[@pauladavies7944]

Miss this program one of my favourite back in the day but still is now!!!

[@jaysanderson9638]

It's returning in the winter revamped called Starstruck and Olly Murs is hosting and it will feature judges.

[@davidattwell2574]

Star 🌟 🤩 struck wasn't the same as stars ✨️ in the their eyes 😅😊

[@evil_dave]

wow 24 minutes before their first commercial break.

[@thebigloc1]

The guy Garry Ryan who preformed as Neil Diamond was amazing. He should have won in my view.

[@nashdatle]

It's a close result. They had done briliantly anyway

[@NipponKiwi]

I agree

[@leonardmiller341]

If the phone lines hadn't broken down in the greater Manchester area where most of the votes would have been, he almost definitely would have won

[@startracker5895]

Boy George sounds like he’s on helium! 🙈😂

[@user-sh2rc5kc7x]

[@mikeykm1993]

The guy who did boy George got to to the Xfactor live shows a few years back!

[@gunamerstravels]

OMG I JUST REALISED THIS!!! HOLY SH.........

[@PrintSolution100]

And he was absolutely crap

[@mikeykm1993]

@@PrintSolution100good point, well made 😂

[@itsjemmabond]

​@@PrintSolution100Actually, he was good. He just had rubbish songs.

[@smileyraw]

Omg I remember this episode.

[@Kraftymark]

That woman sounds EXACTLY like Alison Moyet... It's incredible...

[@playstoreaccount306]

Neil Diamond and Kenny Rogers acts: STRONG 👏🏽 👏🏽

[@titchmoynihan2171]

The Boy George impersonator is really frightening.

[@PrintSolution100]

He’s really crap and irritating not frightening 😊

[@HappyRareGrooveMan]

More like the child catcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

[@billyclegg3084]

Cringe Worthy...

[@stu290bushrider]

Looks like he is lipsyncing???

[@itsjemmabond]

He was on X Factor

[@mightyquinnproductions8672]

Not only looking but sounding just like her brilliant.

[@mikeykm1993]

Would be great if they brought this back!

[@Summer21.]

mikeykm1993 It would be great if ITV brought back Stars In Their Eyes, but just not with Harry Hill like they did some years ago with his name added to the title. 😃

[@mikeykm1993]

Summer21 I completed forgot about that. I couldn’t agree more!

[@Summer21.]

mikeykm1993 I just about remembered myself, but I didn't know the year when the show came back, which was in 2015. 😃 The fully new and returned show was then axed due to low ratings. It might have been partly because of Harry Hill, or maybe that in this day and age, people have even more choice on television and more choice elsewhere to other things. 😲

[@melissawright1979]

I miss this show terribly!

[@shauncorless8965]

My mate went onto it as buddy Holly ,the doors opened and the mist came and nobody's seen him since 😮

[@MrReakes]

bring it back without harry hill we dont need him to spoil the show.

[@alanabroad3471]

Alison Moyet gave me chills.

[@chriswaring5565]

SOMEONE ONCE WENT ON THERE AS LORD LUCAN HE WENT THROUGH THE SMOKE AND THEY NEVER SAW HIM AGAIN O.M.G SHE DOES SOUND LIKE ALISON MOYET FANTASTIC

[@chrislayton4451]

It is just a real shame that television is not worth watching anymore as television was not full of criticism of it is presenters or contestants then unlike nowadays

[@RonWylie-gk5lc]

Wow that Peter Noon was amazing but they all were, Pattsy was great also

[@georgethehands]

is that mick Mullins at 56.34 who was a lead singer for modern romance and cliff Richard's backing singer. it sure as hell looks like him.

[@MartysWhiteSuit]

It was always a great programme. How did 27 years pass so quickly? They should bring it back - without Harry Hill.

[@hunnypotbuzz]

The Harry Hill version makes a mockery of this brilliant programme. Bloody awful.

[@rosering02]

@@hunnypotbuzz Harry Hill killed SITE. He made it all about him, not the people who came on to sing!

[@andygibson8143]

This needs to come back ! So damn good !

[@robertgibson1036]

I like the girl portraying Lulu

[@daveyeddie8176]

Fair enough, she was the best imo

[@nigelkthomas9501]

Brilliant! Why did ITV cancel this show?

[@nashdatle]

Might be due to rating decline as new shows came up like the X factor.

[@FishpondsLady]

It's miles better than the X factor. Probably because Matthew Kelly didn't take himself too seriously.

[@djfhfh]

Was it not because Matthew kelly was facing child abuse allegations 🤢 I think he was found guilty was he not

[@DaGleese]

@@djfhfh He wasn't found guilty. He was found innocent. Unfotunately a lot of people don't know that, and that is the danger of allegations like that not being handled sensitively. The man's life was ruined, basically.

[@djfhfh]

@@DaGleese omg was he, I was only young but remember the news he was a padeo, that's awful 😔 I can't even imagine how that would feel to be falsely accused of that

[@samconduct1356]

Jings, I was 6 when this aired.

[@ianjames3752]

Absolutely amazing... Outstanding vocals x

[@briarrose3687]

The Patsy Cline lady was incredible.

[@lesliemoore7294]

You sure Patsy was on this one?

[@moiracorrigan9922]

Patsy cline won in 1992

[@sampugh5674]

The girl that won as Patsy Cline won in 1992 she was only a teenager back in 1992

[@stephenmcconnell1000]

​@lesliemoore7294 It was tradition that they got the previous series' winner back to perform again while the votes were counted and verified

[@KyleJBAwesomeness-OfficialChan]

Where to find the original broadcast without the red banner reading “this episode is a rerun do not call these phone number lines at all”

[@christinewynter2036]

Is there anymore!?, is there anymore?! Fantastic!.

[@DistantCousin]

Oh wow. Remember this vividly. This was back when they still sang a DIFFERENT song for the final. It was so dull when they changed it to the same song as when they won their week. I wonder why they did that?...

[@darrenbraisdell6656]

Boy George looks like the guy that does homer Simpsons voice

[@jelboy1]

The bloke, who was Boy George, was Johnny, who was also on the X Factor . More bent than a pretzel.

[@jeffrey44]

Where did this recording with "REPEAT BROADCAST DO NOT VOTE" graphics but without the Challenge logo come from? Did ITV repeat this?

[@rachaeladams8059]

I often wonder what happened to the chap who was Peter Noone where he is now if he is still out there

[@StFidjnr]

Mathew kelly's run as host of stars in their eyes started with the last show before the live grand final won the series and ended the same way

[@vaslav030547]

The adverts really are a bloody nuisance every two minutes. Next one I will watch something else.

[@shanefrance5071]

Them were happy years

[@kylebulger4240]

This is a rerun because the phone line graphic says do not call in

[@josephb4770]

Not only did she deserve to win, she was the only singer who actually sounded like the original.

[@ScratchyBaws]

You need to take the bloody spuds out of your ear oles.

[@ukphone4183]

Great to watch ❤❤

[@jaynesheehy5237]

The guy doing Boy George sounds nothing like him!! Boy George has got a deeper voice.

[@notdrivingaminimetro]

Looked more like Boy George before he went through the doors

[@thepopfiles4294]

Isn’t BG Johnny from the X Factor?

[@victoriaknapp7475]

The lady that was Allison was absolutely amazing!!!! My favourite!

[@sjoannebrown9305]

He was on x factor years ago you. Should see what he does now- he has his own act dressing up as a woman

[@GPBleakley1]

I mean....c’mon...Peter Noone is a replica.....truly brilliant xxxx

[@disneydaniel3163]

Please bring back to show someone wearing that hosted by Stephen Mulhern

[@Rosiecrossley1]

Holy shit boy George’s impersonators voice is scary!!!!

[@grimTales1]

I thought I'd seen Johnny Robinson somewhere before

[@Yaycee987]

Far superior to X Factor

[@johncooper5805]

When this was repeated on Challenge, why did they use a caption at the bottom of the screen warning viewers not to call?

[@sampras12]

Is the guy who did Boy George, the same guy from xfactor Johnny robinson?

[@byronwelch1288]

Yes.

[@kristenblount8422]

Sorry I am replying to a comment you wrote 9 months ago but I thought he looked & sounded familiar but I couldn't place him. While I was typing this comment I realized I could just Google him (since I had a name, thanks to you). I did & you were right. It is him. Good eye 😁

[@stevemarshall3481]

Neil Diamond, Kenny Rodgers and Allison Moyet were the best, I'll now watch the results to see how the voting pans out 😂

[@lesliemoore7294]

Peter Noon guy was good! What a flashback! lol

[@simongill4715]

Boy George was on xfactor

[@mikeykm1993]

Mariah Carey impersonator has a good voice, but it doesn’t sound like Mariah

[@Summer21.]

mikeykm1993 And she doesn't look like her either. 😃

[@victoriaknapp7475]

Her voice cracked and she wasn’t that good tbh.

[@DistantCousin]

Occasionly she had identical tone to Mariah, but she lacked the power to truly convince

[@josmith2031]

bloody hell ⭐️⭐️⭐️Neil was brill 🤣🤣🤣

[@ScratchyBaws]

Neil Diamond was the best and closest to the actual star, shame he didn't go last instead of first or he'd have won it.

[@Smirduylate]

The winner by far the best

[@sjoannebrown9305]

Love thinsn episode

[@SenseiJT92]

Why am I watching this at 4am

[@loonylinda]

watching in 2022 i still think she sounds just like Alison Moyet

[@cupcakefairy87]

Neil Diamond was the best and was actually better than the 1998 contestant who won. Peter Noone, Lulu, Vanessa Williams and Alison Moyet were good too.

[@tamhaswoods9056]

Six years later, they had a champion of champions special featuring the first ten series winners - Alison Moyet came last with 16k, while Chris De Burgh (from series ten) vapourised the lot with 481k! What goes around...
