Ah ok, thanks Pip. Just wondered if I'd missed some info about Natasha along the way(not that it would be any of my business anyway).

double page spread in sun today with big pictures of jacqui- about her and guy.

 

the article gives the distinct feeling that some think she may be golddigging or looking for film work..does mention Darius, saying they lived together, mentions how they met and how she once declared her undyiing love for him, then dropped him like a hot brick when she thought she could do better..ruthless is mentioned. she seems to be doing ok for herself going by the article.,

Aren't the media cruel!!! Jackie was supposedly heartbroken when she split from Darius. Only Jacqui and Darius know the true reason for the split but Jacqui (supposedly) went away to Hong Kong for a modelling assignment afterwards to try to get over it!!

 

Julie

I know, but older man(celeb) with younger girl(model)..equals all the gossip. I suppose the tabloids are only interested coz she is pretty and they can get bikini shots!! I thought she seemed very nice from what I saw, as said we will never know what went on when they split, but I didnt think she had dropped him like a hot brick!!!!! bad feeling etc doesnt ring true, as she was at PSTOPS supporting him with his family!

Darius wanted to stay and be near his Dad, Jacqui had a once in a life time offer off work in Hong Kong and then New York. They were both really young. She'd have always wondered what if, if she hadn't gone, he just couldn't leave the family at that time. It may have all fizzled out anyway. You just don't know in life. It's good to see them good friends. I did like what I saw of Jacqui.

Christina said there were a couple of new songs - but not what they were.

This is from Christina

 

Just back from Glasgow Green for Glasgow Day. Soaked through earlier on but the sun did come out for Darius. Worked the stage brilliantly even if jumping off and on it meant there were a few hearts in mouths. Good to hear a couple of new songs too.

 

One called Crazy Love and another which I think might have been called Bump. Crazy Love was just finished (according to Natasha) and it was the first time Avril had heard it too. Both good considering it was the first hearing of them. Still sounds like he is still trying to work out what kind of music he should be releasing. I kinda wish he would sing what he likes rather than what he thinks is right. Maybe just me.

You'd think he'd just be a little careful of his health, wouldn't you?

eek - trouble is poeple do get carried away!

 

songs sound in same ilk as Faith In me, or Love to Love? wish I could have heard them..I take it they werent swing then? or Michael Buble.. he never fails to suprise. I cant imagine him settling for one thing .

natasha there too. I had hoped he would sing some quiet songs, not leap around..cant imagine him in neckbrace rocking it up..LOL

Hi

 

I know Meg has posted for me from my facebook page but thought I would come on to tell you what else he sang at Glasgow Green as I only thought about mentioning that afterwards. He did 'Rushes' 'Incredible' 'I've got you under my skin' ' When I fall in love' 'Bump' (I think its called) 'Crazy Love' and 'Colourblind'.

 

The first time he jumped off the stage to get nearer the crowd I openly winced. He did work the crowd wonderfully though, as usual, and was looking good (even with a neck brace). I think the jumps probably took a few years off his mother's life as she did say she wished he would stop doing it lol. He was asked to tell us what he would be doing in the next few months and mentioned a new album and the panto but didn't mention 'The History of The Big Band' tour which I thought was a missed opportunity. He stood for lots of pics and autographs at the end and only left the Green around 4.30 ish. So a mad dash to Bristol it seems.

 

Christina

Thanks, Christina. I do like 'Crazy Love' by Van Morrison, Was bump a bouncy type one?

Thanks Christina.

 

Good to know his mum and Natasha were there.

 

He really should be careful.

A soft collar like that, if that's the only thing he's wearing, will not protect him very much!

Glad I wasn't there to see him jump off the stage.

Perhaps other tests have shown it not to be as bad as first thought....

Glad I didn't see him jumping on and off the stage, I wouldn't have been able to concentrate on the music! :o Sue

I wish I had recorded it on my phone Meg, so I could listen again. I played it down the phone to Vicky's answer phone, so I'll ask her to have another listen and get back to you. Hopefully someone else heard it and can be more helpful than me.

It's rare to hear something new. He had said that he wasn't singing anything from his new album yet but with Darius, he could always change his mind. I'm hoping most of the album songs will be his own. I'll look forward to Vicky's opinion.

I'm sure he said that the first one was from his new album and because of what Natasha said I presumed Crazy Love was from the new album too.

 

Vicky's description of 'Bump' (god I bet the title is nothing like that) is 'swingy but modern'. I think that's a good description actually.

It'd be a shame if they were all covers. He'd be doing what Simon Cowell told him to after Pop Idol

Where the songs he sang covers then and did he say there wud b covers on the album?
