This show was SO much better than X-Factor!! I remember the whole family watchin' this show, then Catchphrase and then Michael Barrymore's 'My kind of people'. They were the good ol' days! Ha
@Pugna I hear ya, but, it’s because of shows like X-Factor that shows like this no longer exist! I remember as a kid thinking it was some kind of magic when they walk through the door and walk straight back out in full make up! Haha but wow, I made this comment 7 years ago!! 😂😂
Me and my dad were literally just discussing this 😁 Our Saturday nights in. My sis and me didn't want to go out, we looked forward to spending the evening in with the rents. Our night started with Big Break, then Generation Game, onto Noel's House Party and finished with Stars in their Eyes or Casualty. We have literally just decided to do a rerun of the classics over Christmas. Have a makeshift "Saturday night in" watching tele....those were the days. None of this Love Island or Kardashian rubbish. ☺️☺️
@@gemmahancy Ah Noels house party!! Forgot about that! Classic! Yeah, I’ve never watched love island or kardashians and have no desire too! Certainly don’t make ‘em like they used to!
Fair play for getting up on national TV (this show was massive back in the day). Something about 99.9% of the haters in the comment section wouldn't have the balls to do. Rock on!
I used to remember Stars In Their Eyes back in the 90s - such happy and innocent times. The show itself reflects that and much more of a nice and kind version of X Factor and BGT.
I love how people are commenting as if this was a professional singing competition. For goodness sake, this is a show where you can go on and pretend to be your favorite artist and have some fun. I think this guy does a pretty decent job and i give him credit for even getting up there to begin with so please just stop all the hate, it is not worth it in the end. Hating on people for having fun and doing this shows what kind of human you are. Some of these people are actually pretty good.
Sadie Marchant I wouldn't say I sang great, could certainly do better when I wasn't nervous! Some people on here seem to have been brought up in the X Factor culture thinking everyone on RUclips should be world class! Thanks for the positive comments x
Someone was asking why i didn't do something off Be Here Now...answer...because it was recorded in November 1996 and aired in May 1997 before the release of Be Here Now. 😀
What is it with the haters on here? This was 20 years ago a very different time before X factor, pop idol and RUclips. This show was a bit cheesy sure but that was the fun of it. You sound good too dude 👍🏻.
What haters??? I have just scrolled down the comments and they are all positive. I was going to leave a negative one but I don't think I will bother now.
I actually think it's good. He doesn't have Liam's tone or power but he still has a decent singing voice. Just needed rasp. I thought he had good presence.
Not too bad...see my "get over it haters" post above. I suppose it opened the doors to get into bands and get solo work. Back then I really thought I could sing...I was wrong and on Stars I was cut in half with nerves!
I was inside once and I tried to arrange a inter prison singing comp called " Bars in their eyes" or X con factor... Neither of them sold unfortunately!
Absolutely class mate! Didn't realise this was your own channel, was going to say you got everything spot on, even down to the little shuffle between lines, haha! Just wished there was a *tiny* bit more power behind the voice. Had no idea they chose the song for you though. Can't imagine Wonderwall winning the votes of many non-Oasis fans, or indeed even Oasis fans either for that matter. Then again I can't really speak for 1997. I would have wanted to do Live Forever all day long. As you were.
ted mckenna thanks mate. I was very nervous performing in front of cameras and a 300 strong audience back then so that affected me. I've been in bands since 98 as a result of my Stars appearance, play bass in a very good covers band now and cover songs on acoustic guitar including Oasis. Have a look on my channel!
respect man ill take a look...i thought youd b doing something musical, its where ye belong ..all the best mick have a great xmas etc....ill have a listen n im glad ye still mad 4 it mate
@maggie96ful hmmm obviously a panel of audition judges thought otherwise, chosen as one of 60 contestants out of 35000 applicants...but what would I know...
Good job its actually harder than you think to immitate Liam on this song especially.. as a tribute to Oasis I find Wonderwall and Some Might Say are the least easiest.
From when you were selected how long was it before you went to the studios. I might be doing this meself in the future and would like to know how long I'd have to practice me lines... Plus can you have a drink in ya dressing room as I reckon is need a drink before I went on stage ha
Oh months! You've weeks to get your lines right from when they make your backing track, which is usually a heavily edited version of the original to bring it down to about 2 and a half minutes per song. So is Stars In Their Eyes coming back in some form? As I recall there were no restrictions on alcohol so perhaps you could take a drink in the dressing room. They'd probably advise against it though to avoid your throat feeling dry!
So you'd already left the job but they made you go back to record that opening segment? It looked so awkward 😅 Hope you're doing well, I thought you were pretty good!
Boy do i miss these days,, happiest times ever :-).wish i could go back, family were alive , people cared more, just on the whole - better.
Hi mate. We all miss them days. I have faith that you will meet your family again one day. God bless.
This show was SO much better than X-Factor!! I remember the whole family watchin' this show, then Catchphrase and then Michael Barrymore's 'My kind of people'. They were the good ol' days! Ha
Strike it lucky, big break, blind date, bullseye and surprise surprise. Etc etc...

hypercatjohn cheers man
Everyone thought they were Liam Gallagher in 1996/1997😆 There was probably a queue of people lining up to do this
I much prefer this to X Factor. The audience always give the person a chance and encourage them- not boo them and tear them down...
Yeah and you have to have a sob story to get on cringe factor too

Ppl are total assholes. The guy did good.
thats what it was about ey
No you have to sound like the artist you are impersonating, he's very average I've heard well better than that.
British TV was really good at these old game shows. Also around this time was Crystal Maze, Robot Wars and Gladiators. Brilliant!
When tell was half decent used to live waiting for red dwarf on a Friday
Surely I can't be the only one who really likes it! Personally I think he sang really well
Sadie Marchant I wouldn't say I sang great, could certainly do better when I wasn't nervous! Some people on here seem to have been brought up in the X Factor culture thinking everyone on RUclips should be world class! Thanks for the positive comments x
@@mickb278 i think you sounded pretty good.
That sounds exactly like him to be fair
@@mickb278 I liked it mate nice one 👍
yea I thought he did a good job. he needed to slant more I thought but he looks like him and has a good voice.
When he first walks out the smoke he looks just like him!
why are all the liam bummers slagging his performance? he's actually quite good!
I didn't get to choose the song. Also. Filmed 26 years ago. (edited 2022)
Let that sink in.
how long did it take to get transformed into liam Gallagher, just wondered, big stars in their eyes fan
Liam Rands about 90 mins 👍
thank you
Mick Dean Braithwaite not a bad effert lad lol
Fucking good on you kidda.Nice performance 👍👌👍
One of the greatest songs of all time. This guy got the look almost perfect. Good performance too.
Well done mate... Hats off! I remember watching this at the time... 🤟🏻
Someone was asking why i didn't do something off Be Here Now...answer...because it was recorded in November 1996 and aired in May 1997 before the release of Be Here Now. 😀
mick u was good man am a manc so fuck these clowns on here r kid..
Mick Dean Braithwaite I thought this was class mate. Hope all is well now. You looked cool as fuck before the makeover!
I came on to watch and have a laugh! Defo made me smile cos it’s quite decent. Nice one arr kid
I remember watching this in 97! Bet hes way better when not nervous. Not bad man.
Ahhh stars in their eyes... My 90 and 00s childhood in New Zealand.
Biblical
I love Oasis, and I like your impression - voice and look. Nice one
I'm from US and have never heard of this show. Neat you did this. Kudos to you. Spendid job!
Please bring this back on our tvs much needed in 2023 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Loved the intros and insight into what the performer did for a living. Nice work 👍
well done Mick, biggest tune of that time and you did it justice
What is it with the haters on here? This was 20 years ago a very different time before X factor, pop idol and RUclips. This show was a bit cheesy sure but that was the fun of it. You sound good too dude 👍🏻.
What haters??? I have just scrolled down the comments and they are all positive. I was going to leave a negative one but I don't think I will bother now.
I remember seeing this live!! I didn't think he was too bad good effort
I actually think it's good. He doesn't have Liam's tone or power but he still has a decent singing voice. Just needed rasp. I thought he had good presence.
That was bloody brilliant. A good liam impression. I miss stars in their eyes.
Excellent job Mick, I thought you did great! Classic Liam look too!
Thought you were referring to the hairspray for a second there
In 2012 I'd still pick Liam Gallagher for stars in their eyes.
This video was epic man
It's an amazing song 😱
I liked it
Great performance and he really looked the spot of him
He's holding back too much... like, what defined Liam's voice is that he always gave his heart n soul.
Shut the fuck up dickhead
@@guillocrease 🤣🤣🤣
Probably nerves! He needed a few beers and some sniff to get his confidence up. Liam would’ve done.
The interview before the reveal is insane. I watched it on loop. Very very funny hahaha
When Michael Kelly cuddles Olivia Newton John at the end and sighs “God...” it’s just a weeeeee bit pervy.
Who did Michael Kelly pretend to be?
sarah wardle Jimmy Savile I imagine
fairy2009 Jimmy savile wasn’t a singer.
Mathew Kelly not Michael Kelly !
i like it
We love you Mick!
Very good. He even got the nasal sound down! Looks like him too.
Pretty (Green) damn good impression of Liam G !! Well done mate. Peace. Rx
Top banana Mick! And anybody who has the balls to get up and sing gets full credit from me. Nice work. As you were 😉
Gold From Stone aww Carl😘
Such a fun show
God I remember watching this, was 17 at the time and was oasis daft... 🤔 still am after all these years 🤫
Would love to do this lol
I wish this had still included the contestant giving 3 clues about who they were going to be before the reveal like they used to when I was a kid
Well done mick 🍻
Well done for getting up and doing it fella !! Take no notice !
Fair play to the lad for giving it a go, wonder how life ever turned out for him.
Not too bad...see my "get over it haters" post above. I suppose it opened the doors to get into bands and get solo work. Back then I really thought I could sing...I was wrong and on Stars I was cut in half with nerves!
He's amazing 😊
Christ, I'd have been 5 when this aired...I wish it was still there 90s 🥺
hrabro i za pohvalu!!! like!!!
Bet Liam and probably Noel more absolutely loved this mick pal lol
I was inside once and I tried to arrange a inter prison singing comp called " Bars in their eyes" or X con factor... Neither of them sold unfortunately!
I loved this show so much. I looked up this performance and it wasn't until now I saw how bad he was parred by that mic.
he still kicked as though
well you sounded and looked like him. Well done.
Looks nothing like and sounds nothing like him.
Absolutely class mate! Didn't realise this was your own channel, was going to say you got everything spot on, even down to the little shuffle between lines, haha! Just wished there was a *tiny* bit more power behind the voice.

Great job
The bass on this is great.
lol looks just him, sounds very good too :)
Anybody singing this or evening listening to this, in this day and age. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
February 28th 00:45 2022 #Wonderwall
haha, they still show repeats on challenge every now and then. used to love this shit as a kid, funny was fuck most the time.
that is superb man..should do that for a living, youd smash it...close ye eyes n sounds like the real deal..
ted mckenna thanks mate. I was very nervous performing in front of cameras and a 300 strong audience back then so that affected me.

Nice one dude
It takes balls to get up there and do that. Even if its not very good. Kudos to him!!
Even if it's not very good😂😂😂
@@edmundpower1250 Could you do it??
AWSOME
They need to bring this back 💯
People doing Harry styles, Adele and nikki minaj. No thanks.
Spot on
Well done ✨👍🏼
Very good :)
Its pretty good really , fair play. Bring this show back, it was good craic, but only with pre 00s artists.
Those saying he doesn’t sound like him etc he kind of does, but it’s a bloody hard song to sing as a matter of fact.
Then don't do it
@@edmundpower1250it’s a bit of fucking fun mate
I can remember when they had some who imitated Noel Gallagher on the 14th series of the show in 2002 he even got through to the live final.
Bring this back instead of the Saturday night shit we get now !
the beginning of the video is just like The Office
You sounded good.... 👋👋👋👏👍
Haha i remember this show back in the day...
Loved this show
Seeing as you didn't get to choose the song wonderwall on that day..given the chance again...which track would you have most liked to sing?
MaffyMoose Roll With It I guess 😎
Christ i would only do that after many a pint! Fair play haha!
THIS GUY NEEDS A CAN OF RED STRIPE IN HIS HAND ;)!
@RevolverAnthology He hee thanks Roy, gotta keep the SITE club alive mate!
⚡🎸❤️❤️
Should have done more of the mannerisms and body movements
Some of that Liam swagger
@maggie96ful hmmm obviously a panel of audition judges thought otherwise, chosen as one of 60 contestants out of 35000 applicants...but what would I know...
@garymclean94 Haha yes my thoughts exactly...my vocals are a lot stronger and I wouldn't be half as nervous if I did it now!
He was brilliant at Liam G.❤
Good job its actually harder than you think to immitate Liam on this song especially.. as a tribute to Oasis I find Wonderwall and Some Might Say are the least easiest.
Yeah some might say hard tune to sing maté especially the chorus
He's got the look down
I like his little jacket
wow.
Did you get to keep that jacket? It looks quite good.
rob Hall Nah. Was skint at the time!
They should bring this back and make it a proper competition. Like rounds and finals and shit. At least they're admitting it's a karaoke contest.
I remember this one top performance.
What was the whole experience like?
Are u in contact with anybody?
Would you do stars again?
All the best.
I miss this show
From when you were selected how long was it before you went to the studios. I might be doing this meself in the future and would like to know how long I'd have to practice me lines... Plus can you have a drink in ya dressing room as I reckon is need a drink before I went on stage ha

No we recorded the film while I was still there, several months elapsed between filming and the show being aired..
hello mick did ya get to keep the coat ?
Its all very alan partridge even before the singin
@Jingotic yes but over 14 yrs ago....
Fuck me, it's Seth Green. :O
Try our Stars in Their Eyes mini quiz (guess who and what they are singing) @
heh mick thought a great attempt ignore the haters and enjoy !!
Good on him for having a go. It is not like singing Karaoke when you are pissed up in your local pub. it must make you nervous.
