Popstar To Operastar Semi Final Odds: Competition Too Hot For Joe Washbourn?

Two more episodes of Popstar to Operastar to go and more's the pity, although ranking lower than most celebrity centric reality TV shows, it certainly has more credibility and entertainment value than most and with the reality TV world in a bit of a lull, agood chance for the novelty betting punter to pit their wits against the British public.  I say pit their wits against the public rather than the judges, for whilst the judging panel works well with a combination of expertise, in the form of Vallazon and Katherine Jenkins and the added depth of Vanessa  Mae and Simon Callow, as any follower of  Reality TVknows it is not the opinion of the judges that finally decides the outcome.  Bookmakers Paddy Power still have Joe Mc Elderry as 4/6 favourite to win after his rendition of Nessun Dorma last night, but is that where the viewers votes will be cast?

It was clear that the bar was raised this week with far more complicated arias being served up to the remaining celebrities and all credit to them that they must have worked long and hard at their task to make any sort of a fist at these pieces.  Joe McElderry was visibly nervous at the outset and for good reason.  Nessun Dorma has to be one of the most recognizable operatic tunes after its use at Italia 90, and all of the world's greatest tenors including Domingo and Pavorotti have been associated with it.  However, whilst clearly not about to take to the stage at Covent garden Joe eased into the performance and as his nerves subsided, left the stage with an impressive rendition for a novice.  The judges were appropriately complimentary and there was a standing ovation from the studio, but this does not mean he will walk away with the title.
