Good recommendation 25 Feb 2004
Format:VHS Tape
I have always been a fan of the ITV phenomenon that is Pop Idol - I watched the first series, where a now-famous and very popular Will Young won the competition. Now, with the second series, I can happily say I enjoyed the experience moreover.
The video, entitled Living The Dream, is the title given to Michelle McManus after she was crowned Queen of Pop Idol - all becuase the bookies said she couldn't do it!
I thurally enjoy watching this video. My favourite bits are Warren and Eye of The Tiger, The Matrix Man, and the mixture of contestants who were, to say it politely, 'not very good'.

However, there are several disappointing aspects:
1. The final 12 are edited so that only half of their performances are seen, and most of the time you do not see all 12 - 3 contestants perform as they progress.
2. The Final should have been unedited so that it ends the video on a very good standard - you only see sections.
3. Judges comments are scattered all over - there should have been a pattern such as the comments after each performance... not in between and during performances which puts you off watching.

Overall, enjoyable but in a strange way.... I give this 3 out of 5... if you want the whole series and more footage, buy the DVD version for a couple of quid more.

VERY GOOD!!!!! 22 Feb 2004
By A Customer
Format:DVD
I really throughly enjoyed this so much. I have watched it 5 times and evn introduced it to my grandparents. They really liked it.
It is very cut but it doesnt matter because it shows the people that get through. Ant and Dec are so funny and do keep you laughing even when it gets to the final 100 and 50.
At the end Michelle sings her song "All this Time"

My Comment 10 May 2005
By A Customer
Format:DVD
I bought this DVD a couple of weeks ago and got it yesterday.
It includes bits from every level of the show and mostly from the auditions.
But, You can't tell who won!
You can hardly find any Michelle McManus -full- performances!
You don't get all of them as well - 10 sec. of "All By Myself", 10 sec. of "Your song", half of "Feelin' Good" and some other clips.
I expected to see all of her full performnaces.
Like what everyone else said, some clips from the other finalists and some extras.
That's all - If you're looking for Michelle's auditions and extras buy it - If you're not, than don't! :-)
