Is there no end to Holden’s talent? The question is rhetorical. I mean, did you witness her jaw-dropping turn on BBC flop, Big Top? Now the multi-faceted TV fixture talks of releasing a country album, telling one interviewer she enjoys singing in a Southern belle accent. Her stage turn as Thoroughly Modern Millie may have garnered kind reviews but, somehow, I’m guessing Holden’s plans will have Patsy Cline spinning in her grave. But isn’t it a rule of country music that you must suffer for your art? Enduring Simon Cowell, Piers Morgan or a face full of Botox needles in the past doesn’t quite compare with Tammy Wynette’s epic heartbreak. What songs to cover? Tammy’s Stand By Your Man dedicated to cuckolded ex-hubby, Les Dennis? Amanda’s performances on Britain’s Got Talent do have something of the Dolly about them, however. Parton? No, the Dolly I’m reminded of is Tiny Tears.
