X Factor Battle Of The Stars: I’d Like To Teach The World To Sing……

My son’s nursery school class was recording a cd today and one of the songs they had to learn was ‘I’d Like To Teach The World To Sing’.

So I was browsing YouTube this afternoon, letting him listen to different versions of the song that became famous from 1970’s Coke ads, and happened to come across this clip for X Factor Battle Of The Stars.

I had completley forgotten how terrible Gillian McKeith was, how much I detest Rebecca Loos and how funny the celebrity chefs were.

It makes me wonder why they had to cancel the show?
