Even Better Than The Real Thing
Synopsis
A series of occasional Saturday night specials where tribute acts go head to head.
From the show's website:
"Five of the world's greatest Tribute acts go head to head in this Christmas special hosted by Paddy McGuinness. The five acts pay tribute to music legends Michael Buble, Michael Jackson, John Lennon, Kylie Minogue and Bruce Springsteen.
Each performer will sing an iconic Christmas hit made famous by their musical idol, before the studio audience choose their favourite three to perform again. This time they pull out all the stops with a very special collaboration, as they are joined on stage by another tribute artist paying homage to an iconic music legend.
After the duets round the studio audience vote again for their favourite act of the night, and that performer is crowned 'Even Better Than The Real Thing.’"
