Чисто для себя, как пример характера Джона и то как он работает за кулисами.
читать дальше— John said hello to the brownies and showed his inability to do the brownie sign and then did a few pick up lines (including one for something that was filmed last week) which the people in the galley evidently told him he was doing "too big" so he got a bit huffy and said that the audience didn't agree and that if he couldn't do it in his way he would just be like every other presenter on tv! I love Diva John!
— John appeared and amused me by blatantly scoping out the crowd - he likes to have a good look at everyone who has come to see him.
— Like last week he started the show with another high energy song and dance number - Last week it was Don't Stop Me Now - this time Could it Be Magic. John and the galley clearly weren't happy with the vocals or the movement so they did it again. I have to say I've been very impressed at how slick and well choreographed the dance routines are - apparantly he's going to be using the same sort of set up on his tour which will be interesting to watch. John's singing was, as always, wonderful and he seems to be having the time of his life on the show.
— John said he lost his passport and it is possible to get it in 24 hours))
— the final challenge- which for John consisted of laying his hand palm down on the table, resting a brick on top of it (which was set alight!) and then with his other hand (which was holding another brick) - hit the lit brick and smash it in half without managing to break his hand in the process! As it turned out the first time he did it he didn't manage to smash the brick but he did the second time. Although unfortunately he did manage to slightly hurt his hand and was making very sad emo faces and turning big old puppy dog eyes on the audience and looking for sympathy from them as "his mum lives in another country so he needs to get sympathy elsewhere."
— John also very kindly signed some autographs for those in the very front section in between filming - it wouldn't be how I would want to get an autograph from him I have to say - incredibly rushed as he's got a million and one things to think about and he barely looked up while he was signing whatever was thrust at him.
— John's final number was "Baby Give it Up" (by KC and the Sunshine Band) - which had to be done twice once for vocals and then again because of the incredibly elaborate dance routine which ended with poor John being drowned in silver sparkles!
— The ordinary members of the audience weren't the only ones having difficulty finding seats. Scott was there with John's sister Carole and for a while it was clear that there didn't seem to be seats for them in the production section. John (wearing his shiny silver/grey suit which has a purpleish tinge under the lights and who started the show changing out of his trainers into his dress shoes revealing frighteningly bright neon lime green and orange socks!) was not happy about the lack of seats and was clearly about to launch himself up the steps to deal with the situation when seats were found for them!
— "I'm So Excited" -I could visualise him singing it last night but could not recall the words at all! He sang it once while the cameras were focused on us (complete with much bum waggling) and then sang it again with his dancers (whose name I can't quite work out - it sounds like he calls them "the JB 8" but it could just as easily be something else) but there were technical difficulties so he had to do the entire routine again which he wasn't entirely thrilled with. But as it's a joy to see him sing live I can't complain about hearing him sing - even if it is the same song three times in a row!
— By the time they actually got on to sing I'd been sat there for 3 + hours and was pretty knackered with a raging headache so didn't quite feel like joining in with the supportive clapping in time that everyone else was doing. This resulted in kingbantam and I getting told off by John as he looked at us and mimed that we should clap along so like total lemmings we did! I can't believe we got told off! Ha - very funny!
— Each week in between all the action on stage they have been having a "sing off" between members of the audience. The first two weeks the prize was just first pick out of Stewart's tin of Roses but this week you could win a "bottle of bubbly" (which is actually a bottle of kid's bubble bath!) Each time John has set someone up for it. First week it was Scott, the next week the two young boys who were clearly friends and this week he set his sister up! He said it was payback for all the times she was mean to him as a kid (both he and Carole relayed some of the stories in Anything Goes) and that Carole should sing something from The Sound of Music as she had always wanted to be Fraulein Maria and that he and Carole used to fight over who got to sing the songs! John said that Scott could help out with the chorus on the grounds that he was late and that they'd caught Scott on camera yawning away (John: "He's so over it".) Carole gamely sang "Doe a Deer" from The Sound of Music (Scott did not join in but the audience did) and well as she put it - she got the brains John got the voice! John said that he had watched it on the monitor and that she was "rubbish"!
— John's opening number this week was Boogie Wonderland complete with incredibly energetic dance routine. It had to be done again because John forgot to sing two of the words (as he said he was enjoying himself so much he forgot to sing at one point) but its hardly a hardship to see John sing live twice in a row - it rather did him in though - he had people with handheld fans trying to cool him down afterwards! We then had to dance to some music for audience shots while John prompted kingbantam and I to dance along - second week in a row I've been told off! Ha!!!!
— John took a shine to one of the male dancers who he thought looked like Scott!
— Next up was a little girl whose mother was epileptic and so she had taken on a lot of the responsibilities in the household to help her out. John surprised her by phoning her and offering her the chance to meet Zac Efron from High School Musical. She went along and met him and then got to go to the premiere of his new film 17 Again. The poor girl was in bucket loads of tears during the running of the VT clip and John had to calm her down
— John's publisher Kate who John had forced to sing and who sang Hanky Panky by Madonna. She got really into it and was fantastic while John was nearly in hysterics on the stage!
— They did result in a brilliant moment of the view screen going strange so it showed an "infinity" style view of John - lots of images of John stretching to the back of the screen all doing the same thing. John thought this was hilarious and played about for ages doing his very best "Blue steel" type expressions for camera. о боже он тоже этим болеет1 я думала это любимое занятие Дж2! нет, Джон тоже!
— Then after some more pick ups (including John asking us all to "please laugh at my joke" in an adorable little boy manner (which resulted in him having to do it twice as the audience all responded with a horrible loud fake laugh to his initial joke!)
— Up close the amount of make up is very disconcerting but he is a handsome devil and the bling is very pretty
— We had a chat in between takes and got berated for not recognising his shirt from the concert tour (I wore it on the tour... you've forgotten already!) - honey a black shirt is a black shirt! Later when his mike wire started trailing down he had to readjust and we found out that his shirt has a small pocket sewn into the back to house his radio mike. Very nifty! Also he apparently has 19 of those shirts. 19!
— Firefighters (who sang That's Life while John barely restrained himself from joining in - he was even doing all his moves (he ended his concert tour last year with this song)
— Because the show was so swift John didn't embarrass any family members or friends this week (Scott was there yawning away in between takes! Hee!) by getting them to sing and despite Stuart having an autographed cue card to give away I don't think it went to anyone.
— It's been such an amazing show to watch being recorded. I know that from what I've been reading on JB's forums that an awful lot of people weren't very keen on the aired show (I've seen it called cheesy, schmaltzy and embarrassing with people particularly seeming to dislike the Stage Fright section). And yes it is cheesy and cheerfully old fashioned in a cosy early Saturday evening family viewing way. It is sort of a throw back to the sort of variety shows you used to see in the 70's and 80's but there is nothing wrong with that. And John is so so passionate about the show. It's his show, his baby and very much him through and through
— Not much time for messing about between takes this time though - Scott (who was looking unbelievably fine in a dark t-shirt and jeans - very buff!) got introduced and very reluctantly stood up and flipped John the bird when asked to do something which was very funny.

я хочу это видеть!!!! я хочу это видеть!!!!
у меня щас все восприятие Скотта поменялось!
— He also sang One Night Only (said he always wanted to be a Dreamgirl!) which we got 2 and a half times with John stopping one of the performances half way through as he was unhappy. That was accompanied by another very complex dance routine with his J8 girls in amazing sparkly sequinned dresses. And he ended the show with Living La Vida Loca complete with very energetic dance routine which he couldn't quite pull off as his trousers were too tight and he forgot to sing at one point!
