Only Men Aloud! was started in 2000 by Tim Rhys-Evans who wanted to create a young male voice choir unafraid to tackle music not usually performed by traditional male voice choirs. Consisting of teachers, musicians, students, a gardener and a pharmacist - the lads like to take time out from rehearsals to play rugby and football. With a repetoire ranging from 15th Century to current day, Tim believes there should be no barriers placed on choral singing and they want to prove to their audience that choirs can be fresh and funky.
During the series, we asked you to post your comments for the choirs - many thanks for all the comments you made. The comments system is now closed, but you can still read all the responses below.
I'm afraid I was away on holiday when the last few shows went out and I have only just caught up. I'm absolutely over the moon that you guys won. From the the very first shows I wanted you to win and I am really made up. Well done Boys !!!!!
I thought that from the very 1st performance that you would be the winners and was willing you on all the way. Hope we haven't seen the last of you. Couldn't have wished for better entertainment, singing and enjoyment. Now I'm looking forward to finding a Only Men Aloud! CD in my Christmas Stocking. Da iawn, dal ati!
Super show they were a class above the rest, worthy winners. All choirs were a credit to the show. How are you going to follow this ? B.B.C.
You guys were fantastic. Have you got an album coming out? i have just downloaded ACM Gospel Choirs new album which is really great too. Good luck to you all. I will be watching out for you on the Royal Variety
They are great, they sing like angles, men they are wonderful. I wish them all the best. And l hope they have a special day for them on bbc like chrismas time or even before. So we can watch them again. Love you all.
Saturday night wasn't the same without you guys. Your music was like a breath of fresh air. Look forward to seeing you on "The Royal Variety Performance"
The Best Show Ever and the Best Choir Ever. Those Boys are fantastic. Please can we have some more of ther shows.
I hadn't heard their audition song before but thought it was superb. No wonder they won. Well done lads. You gave me so very much pleassure throughout the whole show.
'All By Myself' was the clincher I think. You made a magnificent job of it. Now I'd love to hear what you would make of 'You Make Me Feel Brand New'and 'The Shadow of Your Smile' Go on try it!
Only Men Aloud! have signed a seven-figure record deal with Universal Music.
