The Michael Ball Show — Page 2

I saw a few of last week's ones. God they are pretty dreadful but the heart is in the right place although anything that gives those sycophantic Ballettes publicity causes unease. But it hardly matters as it is at an odd time - perhaps designed to encourage the unemployed to get off their behinds, turn off the telly and seek work.

He is not that good a presenter although he is at least earnest and shows an interest in his guests but it is a lighter than lightweight tv show.

According to his Twitter, Ramin Karimloo is going to be appearing soon...which makes me happy

The stuff with the Ballettes is cringey and suggests a lack of faith in Michael's general appeal, which is a shame, because I do think he is widely liked, but regular fan stuff is naff.

I think Michael is a decent enough presenter, and they will be using the 3pm slot as a testing ground and to let him develop his skills. I can see it coming back at 5pm.

I can't say I watch every episode, but I've got it on my series link and dip in and out of it. The best bit is that Michael can give a decent interview to theatre folk instead of asking the same stock questions most interviewers ask. His enthusiasm is palpable, and it was very special seeing him introducing Gareth Gates singing Empty Chairs.

I'll make a point of watching the Ramin interview/performance, which should be good.

I was just about to post an article about the amazing Linda Baron and that very project.

He probably will, but I really hope Ramin sings 'Til I Hear You Sing.

Yay :)

Thank-you dear
