Andrew Lloyd Webber Denies Fixing ‘How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria’
Famous musical producer, Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber, has hit back at claims that the reality TV show ‘How Do We Solve A Problem Like Maria’ was a fix. The new show was created to find a new actress/ singer to play the famous role of Maria in a new West End production of The Sound Of Music.
Reports suggested that winner Connie Fisher had already started to record songs before she was announced as the winner.
Webber said to the press; “We didn’t know she was going to win.” He added that Fisher started to record songs for the musical’s accompanying album last Tuesday, after the winner was announced on live television.
“I don’t see how I can fix a show like the Maria programme. It’s completely a public vote. I didn’t even know until three minutes before the end of the show that Connie had won it.” Webber added.

Dont think this one is a fix, but you can groom the public into voting for someone you like if you are running the show, it aint hard.
But we should let lloyd webber off this one.
If we want reality we just have to switch our tellies off, once you switch them on you know you are watching that isnt quite real.

Michael Crawford getting to number one “singing the phatom of the opera”.
Now that was questionable.
