"He´s one of the finest voices that´s come on the scene in the last 20 years. I also think he´s interesting because lots as Tom Jones I think of as someone come along who could explode on the scene (sorry, it´s a quote, that is literally what Mr. Black said!) He´s young,he´s 26,he has a fine voice,an ingredient we haven´t seen lately in pop music. People usually don´t talk about great singers these days,they talk about great records.I think Michael could change all that."

Adrian Noble The director of the Royal Shakespeare Company

This is it! The opening night. I arrived at the Palladium and gave a speech to the company. We ran through a couple of numbers. Dick Van Dyke had sent a videotape with a message to Michael Ball and wishing the cast the best of luck. What a wonderful surprise. That evening, the front of house was like a circus, full of photographers and star guests. Adrenaline pumping backstage. Michael Ball was calm, collected, alert - an excellent cast lead. Curtain went up 15 minutes late.

"I've got all sorts of people to thank. Bill Kenwright for having the faith in me to do the part , and Michael Ball , who didn't need to do that role but did it because he loved Steven Sondheim and the piece, and played nightly with such generosity and care that he was a pleasure to work with, and actually without Michael the whole show would not have happened. So I owe him a great deal: Thank you Michael!"

Charlotte Church (1999)

Michael Ball said the best thing. He said whenever I am in a very special situation, I should look around for five seconds, close my eyes and take a picture of the scenery around me. Then I will always remember it.

Terry Wogan (1992)

"First rank Star of the West End and Broadway musical stages, chart-topping popstar. United Kingdom´s hopes could not be in safer lungs than those of Michael Ball."

Lily Savage (aka Paul O'Grady, 1996)

"I am the envy of women all over the world this morning, ´cause lying next to me is a very cheeky young man. Ladies and gentlemen: Michael Ball!"

Jack Doherty

"He has everything: looks, money, hair and a great singing voice.I know that´s only four things, but that´s basically everything you need."

"Eight out of ten husbands said that their wives preferred him."

Presenter Light Lunch

"You were there! (Coronation Street) And great legs you have as well!"

Presenter of After Five (1996)

"Now with blue eyes and smooth voice he is the dream of girls for a decade and there´s hardly a woman in the world who would not like him in their Christmas stocking."

Comment from Rosemary Conley Magazine

"It is impossible not to feel thrilled for him, because he is one of the least "starry" stars and has also just volunteered to make yet more coffee."

"At the end of our photo session, Michael who has battled through by chomping cough sweets and flu remedies, asks the photographer: "Could there be an easier person than me to work with?" He knows the answer."

MB Fan Pat Stearman

"The more I saw him, especially in New York (...) - the more I loved him - so many memories of hugs and kisses, such appreciation of the fans - and such an ordinary guy! No pretentions, no "starry" behaviour. This hasn´t ever changed - he doesn´t always enjoy crowds of fans, but who can blame him? Get him alone (please!) or in a small group and you get a lovely man."
