This was a genuine surprise. I know she's been off the telly for a few years but at that point she seemed so robust and energetic and full of humour for her age. RIP. She's a legend isn't she?

Massive tory

I never liked her voice much. Too overwrought. Burt should have got someone else to sing "Alfie". At least she was a Tory.

Give her a break she was working-class.

Also she entertained millions on Saturday night ITV. I know that doesn't sit well with all of the 'I don't watch TV only HBO box sets and iPLayer on a laptop' vermin.

I thought she was politically promiscuous?

someone on FB mentioned she had a lot of dodgy connections and he expected there'd be a lot of worms coming out the woodwork soon, but i didn't know what he was talking about.

"Give her a break she was working-class."
Was this a response to my comments about her voice, or the general comments about her being a Tory? In either case, it's rather strange.

Every famous person in Liverpool has dodgy underground connections, right?

I dunno... I was always entertaining by her over the top sub-Garland schlock.

Yup - didn't really know her as a pop star (and no real reason to begin doing so). This is p/good.

I think I saw this on an old ILX thread a while back. It's sort of charming, especially with the sound off
