I know I was critical of Shania’s live voice when she sang WUD but she sounds great here. Perhaps she should bring her songs up to a higher key like this here? The lower notes are harder to navigate especially when mingled with adrenaline.
That's a wrap #Starstruck! 💥 I loved being a part of the show alongside my friends @adamlambert, @Beverleyknight, @JasonManford & @ollymurs! We created some fun memories together and got to showcase some amazing talent!! @ITV @ITVX
ITV axe singing competition Starstruck despite big ratings in huge shake-up
ITV have scrapped singing competition Starstruck which saw multiple big name judges on the panel - including the likes of Adam Lambert and Shania Twain - despite good ratings

Singing contest Starstruck has been shelved by ITV.
Plans for another series were ditched in a shock move.
That’s despite the format, a reboot of Stars In Their Eyes, with contestants impersonating famous singers, pulling in big ratings.
Judges Adam Lambert, Beverley Knight, Shania Twain and Jason Manford, as well as host Olly Murs, have been told of the decision.
A show insider said: “There were plans to film a new series this autumn and air it in 2024, but they have now been scrapped.”
ITV producers plan to replace it in the schedule with another talent show. They hope a new format will pull in even bigger viewing figures.
The insider added: “The top bosses want to try a different show and see how it goes.
"Starstruck was popular, but it wasn’t as big as shows like Britain’s Got Talent and The Masked Singer, so it was always at risk of being sidelined for something else.”
ITV has the option to film another series of Starstruck one day.
It could return to screens in 2025.
It launched in February 2022 with Cher impersonator Rachael Hawnt being crowned its first winner.
This year's winner was school teacher Abbie Edwards after impersonating singing sensation Adele after beating off stiff competition from Sam Smith, Meat Loaf, Ed Sheeran, Beyoncé, Frank Sinatra and Sam Cooke performers.
She took home a whopping £50,000 cash prize and after winning, she said: "I can't even put it into words.
"Seeing my little girl watching her mum. Thank you to everyone who voted for me."
Abbie said she entered the competition because she wanted to prove to her young daughter that she can do anything she wants to do.
She became the second winner of the show following the footsteps of the incredibly talented Rachael Hawnt.
