From ‘Mr T Reviews - Michelle in The City Club‘ 2011
“Michelle Montuori was the artiste on stage at Wakefield City club on Friday night; I saw Michelle recently at the Blackpool Command show where she shone amongst a galaxy of clubland Stars. Tonight she appeared in a beautiful sequined evening dress/gown with shoes that must have made her 6` 6″. Michelle has a lovely voice and can sing anything from the 60’s to present to operatic arias with her very strong voice. Tonight she sang a couple from the 60’s and 70’s which had the members and visitors singing along; there was lots of banter between her and John in the box and members of the audience. What a Star… Michelle Montuori!”.
From ‘Mr T Reviews‘ 2011
” Carl then introduced the lovely Michelle Montuori. I have seen this lady perform several times but never the same show twice; she has a wonderful repertoire and uses them to the full. Tonight Michelle looked stunning in a Black/Red/Silver and other colours, sequined evening gown. The coloured lights gave the effect of various colours ae lights changed on stage. She opened her part of this most prestigious show with ’Over The Rainbow’ demonstrating her powerful voice; she also sang in her set, Valerie, a superb version of Mack The Knife and Don’t Cry For Me Argentina sung with such feeling. Michelle Montuori is a natural comedienne and had the audience laughing loudly. Another great performer who incidentally cancelled a cruise to appear on the show.”.
From ‘The Stage’ 2007
“Female vocalist Michelle Montuori is experience personified, here breezing through a varied set indulging in some banter with the band and generally having a good time -and she looked great,obviously knowing a thing or 3 about presentation. Bilinguial in English / Italian, her showbiz cv makes very impressive reading”.

This one woman charm offensive gave us a well sung version of ‘That Ole Devil Called Love’…

‘The Stage’ Review
…Female vocalist Michelle Montuori from Doncaster certainly looks every inch a cruise ship cabaret artist.. though I am sure she’d go down well enough in other more basic surroundings…
With covers as varied as ‘Mack The Knife’ and ‘Don’t Cry For Me Argentina’, she is clearly willing to have a stab at various styles.
Other plusses are that she is well presented and confident…
