Frida fluffs her lines in the second verse and one of the kids makes her react with a really cheeky smile. The saga of Frida's microphone - she was handed a live microphone by one of the children in the choir as the one she had for "I Know There's Something Going On" was 'dead' and she'd handed it to Guy Lux after the interview. However, when she began to sing there was a little sound problem which sorted itself out. After the song the presenter brought back the 'dead' microphone which of course did not work! |
