Edward Reid takes a Whitney Houston classic and drags Postman Pat, Popeye and The Teletubbies into it!

And I loved his version.

Not to say the Scot­tish drama teacher and singer is com­pa­ra­ble to the power house that is Whit­ney Hous­ton, but con­sid­er­ing how good his voice is, he could have done the pop-starry X-Factor thing and be seri­ous and bor­ing. Well he wasn’t seri­ous or bor­ing! He was took the mick, and it was brilliant!!!

He took Whit­ney Houston’s song, Great­est Love Of All, and sung pas­sion­ately about Post­man Pat, those once annoy­ing lit­tle Tele­tub­bies and Pop­eye and his spinach. Of course, it was enter­tain­ing, but the man can sing!

And if you don’t know what ‘Britain’s Got Tal­ent’ is.…

It’s like America’s Got Tal­ent, but British!

And if you don’t know what ‘America’s Got Tal­ent’ is…

Don’t worry. It’s not all that important.

Well, Britain’s Got Tal­ent hosted an array of con­tenders who want to per­form at the Queen’s Royal Vari­ety Show yes­ter­day. How­ever, Edwards dreams of per­form­ing in front of roy­alty was cut short as he wasn’t voted through to the next stage. It was a tough lineup and there was another Scot­tish guy who also sung beautifully.
