The final of Popstar to Operastar sees Nolan sister Bernie take on Darius, "I told you I would be famous", Campbell. Marcella Detroit, who looked like she was on course to win the show, and Kym Marsh, who says she will now concentrate on listening to Opera rather than singing it were ousted in last weeks' semi finals.
ITV must have felt they were taking a gamble with their show on their Friday night slot, but it has proved to be a surprising triumph for the producers. Popularising the classic medium through the use of celebrity has been an eye opener to the public and compelling viewing.
At the moment Bernie is favourite with Paddy Power to win the show and her continued progress over the weeks seem to indicate that this might be true. Darius Campbell whilst admired from his famous attack on Simon Cowell in Pop Idol, has always been regarded with a little caution for his apparent arrogance.

British viewers do not take kindly to any hint of superiority, even if it was so long ago and even if in every subsequent interview he has exhibited enormous charm and humility. His achievements on this show have been impressive, there is no doubt about that, but he will have to come on stage with something very special to make the win.
Katherine Jenkins and Rolando Villazon have been the Beauty and the Beast of the mentor side of the show energizing,informing and enthusing their charges, but without Meatloaf, representing the common man, and Llewelyn-Bowen acting in his usual role as mediator of style to the masses, this show would have fallen at the first hurdle. Alan Titmarsh was an interesting choice of host and felt like the only odd piece of such a well conceived jigsaw.
Will the Nolans now launch a new career in Covent Garden?
