Advantages: Entertaining and untaxing

Disadvantages: The overly camp Matthew Kelly

What other program allows Janet from Scunthorpe pretend to be Barry White in public and not be arrested? Where else can you see Michael from Halifax dress up like Shirley Bassey and not be ridiculed by his friends? Nowhere, that’s where. Stars in their Eyes gives us all this and more.
I concede that the standard of contestant is continually sliding. Why do people not seem to realise that when they say ‘This is the eighth time I’ve applied and I’ve only just got on’ it just means that the show has now got desperate they’re scraping the bottom of the barrel? And why do the audience clap and cheer when it’s painfully obvious that none of them recognise the song just beginning?
But these quibbles aside, I still enjoy S.I.T.E. I like trying to guess who that spotty youth on the screen is going to pretend to be and I like shouting at the TV when the only good sound-a-like doesn’t win because the audience prefers a more recent (but less well performed) song. Where else do you find such emotional highs and lows – such nail-biting tension? Oh…my apologies – I started talking about a different show.
Anyway, S.I.T.E. is a decent enough program and makes entertaining viewing on a Saturday evening. Especially as it comes after Blind Date.
