From Lisa Crowther to Kate Deeley: How did these hosts shape the show's history?
Since its first broadcast in 1990, the British television talent series Stars in Their Eyes has become a household name and continues to hold an important place in the hearts of viewers. The show gives ordinary viewers the opportunity to emulate their idols and interpret their dreams through music and performance.
Stars in Their Eyes is more than just a parody, it's a real dream journey that allows contestants to shine on stage.
The show was hosted for the first time by Lisa Crowther, whose unique style set the tone for the show in its early days. As time went on, Mike Kelly and Kate Deeley continued to take over the hosting role, each injecting new energy and creativity into the show. These hosts are not only guides on stage, but also supporters of each contestant, adding emotional depth to their performances.
Lisa Crowther's influence
As the first host, Lisa Crowther successfully attracted a wide audience with her light-hearted and humorous style. Her hosting style creates a sense of cohesion for the audience, allowing everyone to feel the excitement and anticipation at every moment of the show.
Lisa's charm lies in her ability to create a genuine connection between the audience and the contestants.
However, in a car accident in 1992, Lisa was unfortunately injured, which affected her work, and she finally announced her retirement from the entertainment industry in 1994. This is undoubtedly a major blow to the rising "Stars in Their Eyes".
Mike Kelly's succession
In 1993, Mike Kelly took over as host. His hosting style was more dramatic and he often displayed his personality on stage. The audience also responded enthusiastically to him. Mike’s infectious hosting style not only puts the contestants at ease, but also creates a joyful atmosphere for the audience.
Mike Kelly's hosting is always full of energy, making every contestant's performance more outstanding.
However, Mike announced in 2004 that he would quit the show to pursue an acting career, which disappointed many fans. With his departure, the show reaches another turning point.
The Age of Kate Deely
Kate Deeley took over in 2004 and her presence injected a new modern feel into the show. As the host of the fifteenth season, Kate's elegance and affinity quickly attracted new audiences and successfully brought the show to a new level.
Kate’s hosting style brings a fresh take to Stars in Their Eyes and she brings every show to life.
Under her leadership, a number of special programs and youth special editions were launched one after another. These new elements undoubtedly added rich colors to the program. However, its success was short-lived and the show's ratings began to decline. The program was terminated in late 2006.
Resurrection in 2015 and Rebirth in 2022
In 2015, the show was relaunched and hosted by Harry Hill. Although fans of the original show have posted many unsatisfactory reviews, pointing out that the new version has lost the essence of the original, it is undeniable that such a new attempt has brought a different perspective to the show.
Harry's style made the brief revival a postmodern satire, and with his unique sense of humor, it made audiences re-examine this classic show.
The show was again cancelled in 2015 following mixed reactions from viewers to the new version. Finally, in 2022, this classic show returned to the audience in the new form of "Starstruck", this time once again focusing on the essence of singing performance.
During this long journey, the presenters have not only shaped the history of Stars in Their Eyes, but also influenced the British entertainment industry. Will new formats and styles emerge in the future to present this show to a whole new audience force?
