I think this piece lends itself more readily to D's expressive acting and performance skills than a

slower, emotional one would. And maybe the general public will be swayed by this, in conjunction

with his oral performance, more so than a more static delivery.

I did like the version they had on ds

 

 

I hadn't seen this - maybe everything will be ok

I think if D was to wear his shirt open like that performance on utube it could bring in a few votes!!

Have faith, Meg. By the time D has injected it with his originality and stage ability, we shall all be pleasantly

surprised, I'm sure.

That's the version I like Meg, but we'll just have to wait and see. Like you say, you look forward to Friday and dread it at the same time. I'm so nervous! Darius is on Facebook asking can he rely on our votes to get him through tonight? Daft question! Sue

The voice over between programmes has just said that tonight is the semi final of pstos and the bottom two have to face the panels vote. I think she just got that wrong.

there is only one program left to go ..6 in all, so two have to go this week..surely, god..surely the panel would like to see a male and female in the final if given the choice..now i am worrying again, this close to the final surely it would be unfair for the panel to decide

I don't think they'll take 3 through to the final because they wouldn't have time for 6 arias in the final show.

 

Perhaps we'll have to vote twice tonight. First vote ,someone either goes through to the final or someone has to leave. Then second vote between remaining 3 to find the other finalist.

 

Whatever it takes!

phone bill alert then, I have warned hubby, he wanted to buy me some roses for valentines, I said no then said the 18 pounds they had on the ticket could be better used..LOL it will be expensive if that the way the voting is to go,

Ditto for me on the voting. Husband is usually a bit dozy at that time although he always watches it but luckily the phone is not in his view.

But does he get to see the bill, Preston?

from itv websiteBernie Nolan - Je Veux Vivre Dans Ce Reve (Juliet’s Waltz) – from the opera ‘Romeo and Juliet’ composed by Charles Gounod.

 

Kym Marsh - Pie Jesu by Andrew Lloyd Webber

 

Marcella Detroit – Mein Herr Marquis (The Laughing Song) – from the operetta ‘Die Fledermaus’ composed by Strauss.

 

Darius Campbell – Fin Ch’han Dal Vino (Champagne Aria) – from the opera ‘Don Giovanni’ composed by

well typical, Kym ? mm she really isnt being pushed is she, or is this harder than I imagine.

The one they've given Bernie sounds more like one for Marcella. She'll be very impressive if she carries it off.

 

Pie Jesu - How did I know Kym would get the easy option?

 

Marcella - no great trills or high notes. I fear they've tried to stiff her too. You'll recognise it when you hear it.

 

Darius - already discussed.

 

I guess the producers/panel want a Bernie/Kym final then.

 

I wouldn't mind Bernie but I'd rather have a Darius/Marcella final.

It isnt only a question of it not being harder but if its andrew lloyd webber it is sure to be known to a lot of people. Well he will see the bill eventually Baytree but I also voted on strictly so he might think it was to do with that.I think I know all of those arias the others are doing but will have to check them out. Kyms definiteluy rings a bell.

I dedfinitely know pie jesu well it has been done to death by sarah brightman. Its very unfair, it is so well known compared to Ds and Kym will hardly have to learn it, even I know the melody well.

its one everyone is so familiar with, done by a non operatic, so no harsh comparisons..and not from an opera?

I am a tad disappointed in PSTOPTS surely at this stage a proper aria, from real opera would be better -

I am enjoying hearing Darius sing opera so much - I dont want it to end!

 

Yes but as meg said someone she spoke to thought Danny wa the next mario lanza so they will probably think pie jesu is from a top opera!!

exactly my point, me thinks they have given Kym a soft ride all through this.

oh well, all I can do is vote, obviously my welsh witchery isnt working as yet

I wonder if they will also put D on first.
