3.0 out of 5 stars Good recommendation, 25 Feb 2004
This review is from: Pop Idol - Living The Dream [VHS] [2003] (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.

5.0 out of 5 stars VERY GOOD!!!!!, 22 Feb 2004
By A Customer
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"

1.0 out of 5 stars Extremely disappointing., 9 Mar 2004
By R. WEST-SOLEY "raldon" (Birmingham, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Having bought this DVD, I do feel completely ripped off by the Pop Idol media machine. I was a huge fan of the show, and really enjoyed the weekly live finals. I expected these to be included in full - each of the songs from each contestant. Not only are they not in full - around 30-60 second clips at most - but some are not even on there at all! As a Susanne fan I was horrified to find that hardly ANY of her finals performances were on there - not even the amazing 'Ironic' from 'Your Idol' week. And it's not only her who loses out - don't expect to see a lot of your own favourite, unless it was Michelle or Mark.

The rest of the CD is the usual rubbish you see on telly specials - the best of the worst, etc.. To be honest, real fans are interested in the 12 winners, NOT the people who didn't make it.

A word of advice: don't buy it. A waste of money.
