cant stand the bloke, or tom jones..........both allegedly fled the country to the US to avoid our taxes.

dorsey admitted at the time that he took the name " Englebert Humperdink" as a gimmik


the name of a real composer and musician!!

Bob


mind you, he CAN sing so I guess that theyve tried all the young hopefuls and got nowhere so one of the old farts cant do any worse??

Haven't read all this thread, but it could've been worse imo . . . . .

Cliff or Tom, yuk yuk yuk :-P

I think Englewotnot is old enough to be my son :-(

OH can you imagine it,
Engelbert bounding onto the stage like a 20yr old,false teeth flying out and sliding along the floor while hes singing PLEASE RELEASE ME ,LET ME GO. :-D :-D :-D

I know Suzanne - do it myself every day :-D

Apparently the thought is that he has been chosen because he has a huge fan base not only here but all over Europe. I didn't realise until I read about him how well known he is.

for a *star* hes kept a good clean record that I can see,,,,no scandal,,,,

but gorrrd 75,,,,,hes the oldest on the circut still doing the rounds,bet the women dont throw their frillies at him now,

:-0

Please please do not let him have orange skin. Is there a European Law which dictates we HAVE to enter this contest????

Lol,this thread is funny,especially Kay's comment,
"BET THE WOMEN DONT THROW THEIR FRILLIES AT HIM NOW",
most probably they would throw their corsets. :-D

has he !!!!,,,the dirty old sod...he looks so innocent aswell.......but perhaps the lifts and nips and tucks have disguised the real him,,,,,,, :-D :-D..

and the hair........ :-S :-S :-S,,,,,,nice an easy,,,,,,, ;-)

My dear Granny used to love him singing The Last Waltz,
I didnt realise he was still singing,
hope his voice can withstand it all.lol!!!
my he's lasted a long time. :-D :-D :-D

hes been dying his hair black since he was 20,bit like me,i started dying my hair age 18 in 1981.x :-D

I thought he was grey now?
saw a picture of him recently without his black sideburns,only grey. :-D

Just googled him, and there is a picture of him with grey hair,
still it happens to us all at some stage. ;-) ;-) ;-)

My Nan used to love Engelbert ..... she died in 1981 :-(.

We are obviously going for the sympathy vote

why has Suz post been RR'd again..........

this is getting beyond the joke,

:-P :-|

I think she mentioned BLOOMERS

Scandalous :-P

Just looked back on Suz post,and yes your right Kay,
Suz hadnt put anything wrong at all,good humour,nothing offensive.
Seems rather strange,perhaps its someone with a grievance.
Not nice at all. :-S :-S :-S

I mentioned CoRSETS,oooooooh. ;-) ;-)

Jedward this year, Dustin the Turkey a few years ago, think R.T.E. are deliberately sending non singers to avoid winning again.That way we (the tax payer won,t have to pay for hosting it again.
If my grandson behaved like the two mammy,s boys that are repesenting us do i would be sugesting where my daughter might bring him to get help.
I loved Engelbert when i was a teenager, still love Cliff.

Betty,

OMG.
do you all agree with me now that this is personal? i mentioned bloomers in a funny way,didnt someone mention corsets?did that get RRd?of course not.
ive been saying for wks that this RRing is personal and lots of people have disagreed,but you realy cant disagree now can you.x :-D
