    Lena and Bonnie, starring as 'the compatibility sisters', perform a fine parody of the Andrews Sisters, from their 1978 Easter special.
    And in an interesting twist, you also get three Lenas for the price of one !!!

      Unfortunately the way I think bonnie Langford was presented or was singing made her seem very bratty or a bit precocious of herself
      And it was with error cones as violet Elizabeth in just William which made her seem very bratty
      When she wasn’t like that at all in real life.

      Bonnie was very much forced into being very cute and kiddie like at this point in her life. she's since gone on to have a very successful career onstage in musicals and thankfully doesn't sound anything like this anymore. She's got a terrific voice, there near like Lena's was here when she was younger. the sad thing is as :Lena got older and obviously cuz of her illness her voice started to deteriorate and she wound up sounding better when she was younger than when she was older particularly in her last few performances. such a sad,tragic loss of a tremendous talent and a beautiful, caring soul.

    Poor Bonnie: yet another load of negative comments! (Prompted by jealousy?) She's the epitome of femininity; and at that time, she must have been the bonniest girl in the world! Lena (RIP) was far from ugly; but Bonnie was incredibly beautiful, like a fairy come to life!
    I've noticed that Bonnie has, for years, received criticism from people of all ages, and both sexes. What's equally baffling is the fact that the infinitely less attractive Lisa Stinkson has been defended by such diverse people (from young girls online, to old men in my rambling club). Speaking of Simpsons, I reckon Bonnie Langford would be a fabulous voice-actress for Sherri & Terri, to replace Russi Taylor (RIP).

    Look. I know people like to defend these two "talents" and accuse critics of jealousy. But the fact is that this dates from a thankfully bygone era because it's not entertaining in the slightest. There's a reason things like this no longer appear on our screen. I admit it has been replaced with more up to date garbge but that doesn't detract from the fact that this was also garbage.
    I was sorry to hear of Lena's sad demise and I am glad Bonnie has managed to keep herself relevant (to a degree) over the years. So this isn't meant as a hateful attack on two girls with pushy mum syndrome. But how in the name of Christ can anyone actually stand that screeching? My ears are bleeding.
