I watched the pitiful performance on Saturday night and winced with pain as the redhead crucified &#8216;The greatest love of all&#8217; (already a particularly shite song). She simply cannot sing: she was totally out of tune, putting way too much emotion into the song and sounding like a bad karaoke singer. At least Jo Brand and Ruby Wax make no claims of being great singers. Both, along with Ulrika Johnson and a number of others are taking part in the Comic Relief special of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/fameacademy\/\">Fame Academy<\/a>. The black male paramedic out of Casualty is currently under some illusion that he&#8217;s a great soul singer. Along with Jambo from Hollyoaks, he prays nightly to God for help in winning the competition. Both seem to forget that it&#8217;s all for charity mate. Still, if there&#8217;s got to be a winner, I&#8217;ll plump for Cold Feet&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/fameacademy\/student_profiles\/index29.shtml\">John Thompson<\/a> who, whilst not being a great singer, doesn&#8217;t seem to be taking it too seriously. Now looking forward to David Brent getting involved with Comic Relief for real.
