Mica Paris, Ruby Turner and Nicola Roberts: Climb Every Mountain - 0
Diana Ross: Chain Reaction/Thank You/Ain't No Mountain High Enough - n/a as she was clearly miming
The BBC, who I swiped this from, didn't list the guy who did a rap about British sport: he was comedian Doc Brown and it was easily an 8... and normally I detest rap, but he got it exactly right. But the very best, all the way up to 11 ? The Queen - the real one - taking tea with Paddington Bear at the very beginning of it all. By any standards she was very good, but considering she was talking to, and reacting to, someone reading Paddington's lines, she was outstanding. Major props, Your Maj.
