My Kind of Music

My Kind of Music was a British game show that aired on ITV from 8 February 1998 to 29 March 2002 and is hosted by Michael Barrymore.

The show's main theme, where presenter Michael Barrymore sang some of the lyrics when appearing at the very start, was originally sung by Robert Palmer in 1978.

In this round, Barrymore asked a series of quickfire music questions on the buzzer, each worth £50.

Contestants were shown a film of Barrymore inviting members of the public to sing in front of an audience at an outside location, usually a large shopping centre.

After the film, Barrymore asked a series of questions to test the contestants memory and observation on what they saw.

When Pop Props was introduced in series three, this became the fourth round and the money increased to £150 for each correct answer.

In the second series, this was changed to an unsigned musical act, who Barrymore would introduce as "someone he met whilst filming", and would often join in with the performance.

From the third series onwards, a well-known pop singer or band would perform their new single in this slot.

The contestants stopped a randomiser to select one of the blank pictures, and then Barrymore would begin to read a series of clues related to the singer they had to guess.

The show was noticeable for some future music stars appearing as contestants on the show, including Paul Potts, who later won the first series of Britain's Got Talent in 2007, Jodie Prenger, who won I'd Do Anything in 2008, and Jessica Taylor, who went on to become part of the band Liberty X that was formed from the original series of Popstars.
