''Stars in Their Eyes'' is a British television talent show in which contestants impersonate Showbiz stars. It is made by ITV Productions for ITV . Based on Joop Van Den Ende's Dutch format, ''The Soundmixshow'' Debuting in in 1996 , 1998 , 1999 and 2000 . The most impersonated stars are Elvis Presley , Cliff Richard , Cher , George Michael and Madonna . OVERVIEW ''Stars in Their Eyes'' first aired on July 21 , 1990, was a talent show where contestants get the chance to appear and sing, as a famous Singer . The show is most importantly a 'soundalike' show, but they are also dressed up to look as close as possible to the Singer they are impersonating, often with Wig s and heavy makeup. The contestants appear firstly as themselves, talking briefly to the host about their lives and who they are going to be performing as, finishing with the now famous Catchphrase 'Tonight name I'm going to be...' The contestants then disappear through the equally famous doors, and reappear as the famous Singer they are going to impersonate (The word 'singer' could be used loosely as in 1997 Julian Clary who is not known for his vocal skills was impersonated on the show by Steve Edward) At the end of the show, the studio audience vote for their favourite, and the winner is announced. The winners from each show in the series return for the series finale, the live grand final. In the live grand final, the winners of each show return and perform once more. At the end of the performances, the phone lines open and the viewing public get the chance to phone in and vote for their favourite. The winner is announced later the same evening in a separate broadcast. Over the years the show has seen a lot of changes: changes from the , Russ Abbot (one-off emergency host after Leslie's car accident), Matthew Kelly , Davina McCall and now Cat Deeley . Chris Tarrant also hosted an unaired pilot in 1989 . There have been several spin-off versions of the show as well, including:
