You’ve done us proud again, Joe!
KARAOKE KING ... Joe McElderry sang karaoke with Katherine Jenkins and Claire Richards.
CONGRATULATIONS to Joe McElderry for his second singing competition win have been pouring in.
Gazette editor John Szymanski said: “Once again Joe has done South Tyneside proud. He’s been terrific throughout this competition and earned himself a double TV triumph.
“It will be a big boost for his career and he thoroughly deserves it.”
South Shields MP David Miliband said: “I am delighted for Joe, he gave an excellent performance last night and he was a worthy winner.
“Joe’s success should be an inspiration for every young person in South Shields – if you work hard, you will achieve your dreams.”
The Mayor of South Tyneside, Coun Jim Sewell, said: “Last night’s show was a fantastic finale. Joe’s a real star and a very worthy winner.
“He has an incredible opera voice, and the way in which he has reinvented himself just goes to show how versatile and talented he is.”
Customs House Director, Ray Spencer, MBE, said: “He was sensational and I think he comes across as being at home with all those other big names.
“Now he has two avenues to pursue, his pop, or into West End shows or opera with his ‘new voice’, as he called it last night.
“All this makes Bents Park the place to be for his triumphant home- coming.”
On Twitter, X Factor pal Danyl Johnson said: “Well done to Joe.”
Tyne Tees news presenter Pam Royle tweeted: “Congratulations Joe! Sensational vocal ability! ITV’s Popstar to Operastar winner!”
Showbiz writer Dan Wootton said: “Wow! The British public has fallen back in love with Joe McElderry. Very happy for him.”
