I would like a tour of classical crossover also and would enjoy the aria from marriage of figaro which he chose last night on the album would remind me of the show and sort of made it his.

Darius wins 'Popstar To Operastar' from digital spy Friday, February 19 2010, 22:21 GMT By Oli Simpson Darius Campbell has been crowned the winner of Popstar To Operastar. Campbell reached the final alongside fellow singer Bernie Nolan. The pair performed in front of the previously evicted contestants as well as a live audience in the race for first place. Following their songs, the two lined up for the result as host Myleene Klass prepared to reveal the public vote. In the pause prior to the announcement, several audience members called out for Nolan to win. However, Campbell was named victorious, looking shocked at the news as Nolan congratulated him. After the result, Nolan seemed unfazed by her defeat, saying: "Thanks everyone... it's been amazing." Campbell then closed the show with a final rendition of 'Non Piu Andrai someone on another site has suggested a PSTOS tour.

Im just having a gin and tonic in celebration.

Well done Darius. my friend just phoned and she never votes but she said she put it on speed dial and voted for him, she thought he was the best.

My phone b ill will be huge. I thought katherine held back her voice for Bernie.

I forgot to say that I sold a copy of Darius' book today, I have several spare copies and I thought I would take it as the show was on tonite.Anyway a lady bought it who had been watching the show and liked him so needless to say she got a lecture about voting for him and she said she would.

Its hard not to get stressed out. The timing of that prank and its content is pertinent and I remember when he was in the final of pop idol a similar article about his background etc appeared in the press on the day of the final and I felt then it was tim ed to perfection.

What I didnt like with the interview also was that D said he bothered about what he ate etc for his voice and she said she didnt bother at all yet it was D who LLB said hadnt bothered about his aria.

Is that not worrying after all the pros i.e. rolando have only to go go slow or something during their part of the aria to throw it out of time for D. etc.

To me it was biased again, clip of rolando saying if he wasnt there he would get to phone for bernie and then LLB saying it looked as if D hadnt bothered with his aria. Nothing positive for D again.

It might shut the media up.

Thanks baytree, loved that, the carmen aria is getting stuck in my head as is the on he he is singing tonite from the marriage of figaro.The problem tonite as baytree says is sliding back into pop voice especially with those two songs could lend themselves to that.

Ive just listened to both Samuel ramsey bass baritone and rolando tenor and I prefer Samuel ramsey singing it. As some people say they dont like Rhydians voice to listen to, the same can be said about Rolandos voice, very similar but the public have been geared to a tenor voice for a long time.

Somewhere was originally sung by PJ Proby. It has what I call money notes in it. Also sung a lot at concerts by Rhydian.as is the impossible dream. I imagine Bernie will sing the money notes in somewhere but Rolando will do the same in the impossible dream.I find both these songs done to death would have preferred an operatic one.

OK just realised it is the one I was hoping for. Showed his bass baritone off thats what I liked.

I am gettin g confused here, which one is what he calls the best one, not last weeks I hope.

The problem is if she drowns him out people will notice.

True - when he says he would love to duet with her he should have listened to her when she duetted with rhydian on x fac tor, he wouldnt be so keen. Bernie has the best deal Rolando is the opera singer and KJ is not.

So do I. Think it will be the older public and possibly the opera fans watching masterchef but tht leaves the younger ones and now that Danny from Mcfly have gone perhaps some will return because of he alternatives.

I wonder if the audience figures will drop, masterchef starts tonite at 8.30 but tomorrow the BBC is putting it directly against PSTOs at 9 pm.

The show is shorter tomorrow, one hour instead of hour and a half.think I read somewhere that the voting time could be shorter also so thought I would mention it in case that is so and we are ready.

I also get that impression. That is also ditto on KJ site so will she direct her comments to the satisfaction of her fans.

I dont think its a repeat becaue Chris hollins has only just started presenting this . Ive only seen him on this twice after he won strictly.

I definitely agree all this momentum should not go to waste.

Shes doing it for charity and they bought her little daughter on. It waa presented by chris hollins who won strictly come dancing who I voted for and himself is very popular with the public. S he just said that when she sang with the Nolans they sold 9 million records in Japan and she is singing at the moment in japanese.
