Kydd, who performed the song ‘Angels’ by Robbie Williams, received the most votes when the programme first aired on Tuesday, May 3, and repeated on Sunday, May 8.

The show, which is filmed on Wednesday evenings at the Sunsail Lounge during their Karaoke Experience, sees patrons at the Ratho Mill venue performing songs of their favourite stars, and selecting among themselves whom they think were the better performances of the evening.

Those selected are aired on SVG TV at 6 p.m. on Tuesdays, with the television audience going to email singingwiththestars@hotmail.com and voting for whom they believe was the best.

The singer with the most votes not only receives a prize, but one of the voters who picked the winner will also receive a prize.

Last week’s programme featured Jean Stanley doing a rendition of Moe Bandy’s ‘Too Old to Die Young’; Rondell Patterson singing ‘I Just Called To Say I Love You’, by Stevie Wonder; Pedro Warren singing the Bee Gees ‘Words’; Clifton Ballantyne’s rendition of Elvis Presley’s ‘I Can’t Help Falling In Love With You’ and Oneka Bowens’ delivery of Leanne Rimes’ ‘How Do I Live Without You?’

Episode three of the show will be aired tonight, and will feature a special guest appearance by Jeffrey ‘Snuffy’ Martin.
