Well the first “Grease Is The Word” was certainly action packed with many laugh out loud and cringe worthy moments. I found myself hiding behind a cushion when a 50-year old “Sandra Dee” in tight lycra leggings began dancing provocatively in front of David Guest and signing in a sultry voice. It was made even more cringe worthy when she broke down in tears saying she wanted to prove to her family that she could sing.
The deluded Sandra Dee’s didn’t stop there, the hilarious Paula was a Sandy to remember, being David Ian’s number one fan she showered him with gifts and performed her song and dance just for him. For a laugh the judges put Paula through and David Ian was rewarded with a snog, as she slapped a kiss on his face, she stuck her tongue in - much to Ians shock!
Yet even more surprises followed as the 90s pop sensation Kavanagh resurfaced to audition for Danny Zuko, bearing a slight resemblance to John Travolta he nervously sang his heart out. Although due to a muscular strain he danced pretty weirdly to Justin Timberlake, it was mostly pelvic thrusts which were embarrassingly amusing, nevertheless he got through to the next round.
Grease Is The Word had all the elements for an addictive show, squirm worthy moments, laugh out loud comments and plenty of characters which have bold personalities. Be sure to catch the next installment 6.05pm Saturday ITV1 and 8.40pm ITV2 for backstage gossip with ‘Greased Lightnin’.
For your amusement I have found a clip of Paula and a few other Grease wannabes, prepare to cringe
