Manilow Magic (not)..!

I'm not usually one to be disparaging of others, but did anyone see Barry Manilow during the Children in Need concert on telly last week? Awful...

No power in his voice. He spoke half of 'Mandy' rather than sang it. What he did sing was out of key/flat...

Why don't these aging entertainers give up? He must watch his performances back and realise... Won't any of his real friends tell him..?
