TOP OF THE POPCORN

15 March 2007

Picking some of their favourite film songs, the celebs warbled their way through hits from Pretty Woman, Evita, Saturday Night Fever and even Spiceworld.

Resident rib-tickler Tim Vine glistened in a gold jacket for curtain up, and kicked off the show with Elvis's Viva Las Vegas. And the judges loved it. What a start.

Zoe has received a nightly drubbing from the judges - Craig called her appalling last night - but tonight's version of It Must Have Been Love finally won the judges over. Lesley asked Zoe for more danger, so what will happen tomorrow?

"I've drunk two raw eggs and eaten two pounds of raw mince to prepare myself for this," announced Mel, as she prepared to tackle Eye Of The Tiger. And it showed as she roared her way through the song, to the judges' delight.

In stark contrast came Colin's considered Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head. Who'da thought he could come up with something so sweet? Obviously Lesley, who called him cute and lovely. But Craig and Richard tore into the Irishman, calling him ordinary and sickly. Oh dear.

Last night we had Disco Inferno from Tim, and tonight Tricia delivered another sparkling slice of Saturday Night Fever with If I Can't Have You. Tricia clearly enjoyed herself, but Craig and Richard were less enthusiastic.

Already dubbed Britain's new Robbie, Ray Stubbs took the studio by storm last night. And tonight's Pinball Wizard nudged him a little closer into tomorrow as Richard labelled him brilliant. But Lesley and Craig wanted a bit more action and tone. Is Ray causing a divide?

Singing Another Suitcase in Another Hall from Evita, Tara brought Lesley close to tears again and impressed Richard too. Craig didn’t agree, but two out of three’s not bad.

After scraping through from the bottom three last night, Fred was determined to put in a safer performance tonight. Happy Talk was a chirpy choice and his flowery shirt certainly raised a few smiles. But not from Richard or Craig. "It was a shocker," grumbled Richard. Ouch.

Saved by the judges for the second time last night, Angellica’s nerves have been on a knife edge for days. But Spice Up Your Life seasoned the judge’s palates and earned her a “magnificent” from Richard, "wonderful" from Lesley and "brilliant" from Craig. Go girl.

It was up to Shaun to close the show tonight with a Titanic song, My Heart Will Go On. But taking on Celine Dion's monster hit was never going to be easy - and Richard sunk it. Lesley and Craig threw him a lifebelt with some life-saving comments, though. But will it be enough to keep him in? His fate, along with all the others, rests with you.
