Anyone watching/listening?
The singing is absolutely sublime.
I have no idea who is going to win, they are all so good.

Yes ,it's lovely isn't it ? I saw one episode last Sunday and am enjoying it again now.

I'm watching now and have seen most of the heats. The song competition was last night and was won by that adorable Chinese tenor who sang an aria from The Magic Flute this evening. Can't pick a winner yet!

PS. Every heat is on i-Player if you want to catch up.

I did not manage to find the heats during the week - not on TV anyway.

But that Chinese tenor is something else - and the Korean soprano.

I can't say any of the others have jumped out at me yet. I like clear voices with no vibrato and those two were sublime!

I think he would be my favourite anno, but Patrick Guetti is a close second.

Well, that was wonderful. Andrei was a worthy winner.
It might have been any of them, I couldn't choose between them.

Yes. Andrei deserved to win. I didn't watch all of it tonight as we switched over to Killing Eve then went back for the result.
