MrDaveTheBass Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I'm a bit disappointed that the casting director has decided to play it safe and go for the obvious choice of Ms Gaga. She is so blatantly influenced by our Cilla, and is such a similar artist, that surely it would have been better to choose a more 'off-the-wall' candidate?

Also she seems to be having personal issues at the moment, as she has pulled out of her West End show. Hopefully it is nothing too serious.

Paul S Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I think Dad's puzzlement is perhaps more due to this thread being about Lady Gaga playing the role of Cilla Black (or not) rather than about Cilla Black. I guess Blue thinks we undervalue our Cilla just like on-one over here likes the Beatles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
