Stars in their Eyes

I feel as though it is my duty to write a review of stars in their eyes after all i present it, my name is also Matthew Kelly, if i had a penny for everytime i was taken the mick out of for it at school (lol), are you Matthew Kelly? Are you gay? and so on. Yes i am quite clearly a 60 year old camp man that presents a musical variety show!!! Stars In Their Eyes ran from 21st July 1990 to 7th January 2006 and saw various members of the public attempt to impersonate their musical heroes. I would ask the contestants questions about their chosen icon until eventually asking who they were going to be, I would then send them off through a smoky doorway ...  Read the complete review

Today we have X Factor and Britains got Talent, back then we had Stars in Their Eyes. I used to completely love this show as each show was really different and i used to love guessing who each person was going to sing like. If you have never heard of Stars in their eyes, it was a television talent singing show that was on ITV. It hit our screens in 1990 and showed contestants and members of the public singing like showbiz stars. I remember almost everyone i knew who watched this wanted to be a contestant on it and everyone thought they could sing exactly like a star (when a lot of them really couldnt!) There were a number of different ...  Read the complete review

There was a stage in my life when I wanted to go on this show, though I was undecided who i would be. I think I was torn between Bryan Adams and Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys.

They arrive on the set, undergo a makeover from the wardrobe team to make them look like the star, before stepping out in front of an audience to perform their choice of song. The audience would choose their favourite at the end of the programme by pressing a button in their ...  Read the complete review

Stars in Their Eyes was a popular TV talent show in the days before shows The X Factor and Britains Got Talent took over the main stream celebrity wannabee culture and dominated our TV screens. The show was hosted by Matthew Kelly and the idea behind the show was for members of the puclic to appear and to dress like and sing a song of their pop heroes or at least those that they most looked and sounded like. For each contestant there would be a short video clip of either their home or worklife where the person they would be might be hinted at, then hey would be interviewed by Kelly still notdressed up and only at the end would they reveal why and ...  Read the complete review

Stars In Their Eyes was hosted by Matthew Kelly and was shown on Saturday nights on ITV1 (just ITV back then). The concept of the show is that members of the public would write in to say who they looked and sounded like when singing and then some of them would be selected to go on to the show and then perform in front of the live audience and for the members of the public at home. Before the performance there would be an introduction to the person and you would be told their name, where they came from & what they did for a living. Quite often you would be shown around their homes too and I never thought that this had any purpose to the show ...  Read the complete review
