What do people think about this? Personally, using a celebrity voice is fine for some fun, but to plug Amazon Alexa, Amazon Music and her new album on a safety announcement is terrible to me.
Am I the grinch? Maybe.
I think it cheapens the TfL brand whilst most importantly making it so when a real announcement is made your conditioned to much like advertisements tune them out.
After the whole āHold on the bus is about to move.ā saga I simply wear headphones and either listen to a podcast, music or the radio; I wouldnāt hear any announcement.
Iām glad I donāt live in London
All was good until the album plug was put in at the end 
I think there were a few major train stations a few months ago using Amanda Holden as an announcement about suicide prevention on the railways. This was a good cause, and it broke up the dull monotone voice of regular station announcers.
This, however, I imagine itās not ill-intended but an advertisement is not really needed, is it?
Ha makes a couple of Monzo badges look insignificant in comparison.
Tomās missed a trick. āMind the gapā¦ and the Hot Coralā
Thatās what I thought.
Yet surprisingly most replies are positive. Well, they seem to be her fans.
Weirdly even the tweet bugs me as it links to her album. This is a public service - I liken it to the BBC advertising blatantly.
Thatās just tacky
Rush hour that would be annoying for me.
Sheās ghastly IMHO. A once-marvellous singer who has seen better days. Iām sure once she said she hated āAll I Want for Christmas is Youā.
Also seems to have āSinitta syndromeā when it comes to her ageā¦
She might hate it but letās be honest itās what pays her bills!
She hates it, I canāt bloody stand it!!
