Elaine Lordan Leaves Soapstar Superstar 2007

Elaine Lordan - Soapstar SuperstarElaine Lordan last night became the first person to leave Soapstar Superstar following her rendition of Bonnie Tyler’s It’s A Heartache.

One of the judges, Michael Ball said: “She was terrified – she was clinging onto the microphone for dear life.

“And she didn’t look too disappointed to leave. Perhaps she’s been put out of her misery!”

As Elaine later told the show’s ITV2 spin-off programme, Soapstar Superstar: Bonus Tracks: “I can relax now and not wake up at four in the morning, wondering if I can remember the lyrics!”

Soapstar Superstar 2007: Interview With Elaine Lordan

Elaine Lordan (Lynne Hobbs, Eastenders)

Elaine Lordan - Soapstar SuperstarWhat are your top 3 artists and albums?
Oh I’m so eclectic to be quite honest with you, I couldn’t name just three, it really is eclectic honestly, it goes from country and western, Robbie Williams, Oasis, The Jam - I love The Jam - Paul Weller, Madness.

What was the last DVD you bought?
I can’t remember – terrible isn’t it?

What’s your favourite musical style? Or that you like singing?
Very very deep voices because I’ve got a very deep voice is the best answer I can give you. Baratone, more or less, it’s deeper than Rod Stewart’s apparently.

Have you started doing lessons?
No, not yet, cos I’ve got wisdom tooth coming through now, impacted, so I’ve got to go and get them taken out – I know pain!

How did you find that out?
Just the pain.

What’s your earliest singing memory?
My earliest singing memory, probably singing to my mum and dad in the kitchen, ‘Seven Lonely Nights Make Seven Lonely Days’.
I don’t remember who it’s by but it was a song my mum used to play and I used to sing it to them in the kitchen. Guess it was like ‘It Never Pays to Make Your Lover Blue’, sort of a country and western style song.

I was about five, six, you know, little precocious child, ‘look at me, look at me!’.

What do you think the audience can expect from you?
A deep voice. Hitting the low notes.

What do you think your soap character would say about you taking part in the show?
She’d laugh, she’d think, ‘are you mad?’.

Did you watch last year’s?
I watched some of it not all of it, I have to be honest.
I thought it was good, yeah, entertaining aren’t they, you know? Watching people get all scared.

Are you going to be nervous?
I’d imagine so yeah.

What do you think friends and family will think of you doing the show?
I think they’ll be pleased actually yeah, they’ll find it funny. They’ll make some banners I’m sure and do some clapping in the audience for me.

They’re not going to boo are they?
What my friends! No they won’t. The audience might, the general audience probably will boo but not my friends.

Zoe Ball To Host Soapstar Superstar 2007

It has been revealed that Zoe Ball will be the new host of this years series of Soapstar Superstar.

Zoe said: “As a huge soap fan – I have watched Coronation Street since I was a little girl and I watched it with my Nan – I was a huge fan of Soapstar Superstar last year.

“I nearly wet my pants when I was asked to host it this time. I can’t wait to get all the inside gossip at the show and see who’s the prima donna, who’s the saucy one, who’s the trouble- causer.

“Of course I won’t be showing any bias, although as I’ve already mentioned I am a huge Coronation Street fan!

“I am very excited about the show – the only thing you won’t catch me doing is singing – because I have the worst singing voice ever!�

Executive Producer Rachel Ashdown said: “This year we have some singers in the competition who have never sung on television before so there are sure to be some great surprises.

“You might think you know the soap stars from what you see in your favourite soaps but you will be blown away by just how talented this bunch is.

“This is the show were the viewers really are in control and ultimately they will pick their winner.

“I think the soap stars are really excited, but with the show going live on January 5th they better not be doing too much shouting at New Year’s Eve!

“There aren’t many shows as ambitious as this on television but we had a brilliant team who made it last year and have come back for more this time.â€?

Soapstar Superstar will be shown on ITV1, Friday 5th January 2007, 9:00 PM to 10:30 PM.
