Chris Barton - Male Singer - Liverpool, North West England Event Location: Londons West End Event Type: Musical, West End. 15th October 2019

The hilarious ‘In Short’, brilliantly sung and danced by Any Dream Will Do finalist Barton, about wishing vile injuries and death on the girl who has ditched him, has become something of a cabaret turn (although always sung by the girl when I’ve heard it). Bartons version brings the house down. Chris Barton tears down the house with his unbelievable ability to riff. Not only this, but he is the most comedic and engaging of the four.

Chris Barton sung the Jackson 5 song "I'll Be There'. Afterwards John Barrowman said: "You had a great performance, you had an incredible vocal - and for me tonight, Chris, you're my Joseph, so far." Bill Kenwright added: "Chris, you've got it! No matter what it is, you've got it. You gave me one of the great, great moments of this series when you sung 'I'll Be There' - tingles from there to right down there. You own the song, you own the stage, tonight you own the show." Zoe Tyler commented "Chris, it was great, it was strong, it was fun, it was a focused vocal. When you sung, I got shivers the first time I heard you. Your voice is so smooth sometimes it is like chocolate - and I love chocolate!" Andrew Lloyd Webber concluded by saying "Well Chris, we talked about this song - you where first up when we where rehearsing last week and I said 'how do we make this song work?' and I said it has to be completely about love and passion, and you delivered both. You were fantastic tonight.
