The whole of cash in the attic on bbc2 at the moment is given over to Bernie nolan her possessions and her family etc etc etc. How convenient a time.

Yes I do think she will pick up votes.

Maybe he has gone to watch because Nora jones is appearing and she is one of the artistes he lists on my space who he follows.

ITV1

Thanks Bramley.

I thought the daily record would have something the last couple of days as he has reached the final but couldnt find anything.I hope he doesnt go over the same ground again in the interview b ut comes up with something different.l

my comment is about doing his best, he certainly would but only if he is allowed to perform and I mean really perform and not scuppered.. dreading it if he has to sing with KJ. On the other hand,Gareth, Rhydian, JLS came second or third but are doing very nicely, rhydian nominated for classical brits award so ....

The sun today - I wondered when they would start -Weve got the word wannabe now!! DARIUS Campbell last night thanked Popstar to Opera Star's costume designer - for sewing up his FLIES. It comes after the singer performed on the show with his trouser zip down, exposing his undies. The gaffe two weeks ago failed to stop him winning through to the final last week when Corrie babe Kym Marsh and former chart-topper Marcella Detroit got the chop. Ex-Popstars and Pop Idol wannabe Darius - who once accidentally exposed himself while wearing a kilt - was left a laughing stock by his zip bungle. Down ... but Daz's fella not out in showThe 29-year-old was so paranoid about it happening again he ordered the ITV show's wardrobe crew to sew up ALL the flies on his trousers. He said: "I thought Meat Loaf was playing a joke on me when he said it in front of millions of viewers. But as soon as I reached down, I realised I hadn't done my flies up. "It was a nightmare and I couldn't believe I had done it on national TV! "About 20 minutes before I sang I realised my trousers were tight and tried them on without boxers. But I put them back on, thank goodness." Scot Darius will face Bernie Nolan in the final on Friday.

I agree with what Sue says and to that end one must surely look to the producer of this show.

Exactly. I feel sorry for D. He has had to entail a lot through the last 8 years.

I pretty much agree with that report also. At least she realised how difficult Darius' aria was to learn compared to others.

Sorry I was referring to elsewhere comments other than your my space reference. Regarding KJ was meaning hope he is prepared for holding his own with her.

What makes me mad is that the week befores performance by D was called superb and marcellas average yet he is now being judged on this last performance, why did the judges not let his superb performance be this last week, Also his acting and stage presence/performance skills arent getting a word of praise or they didnt on last friday.

Well what you have said is the tip of the iceberg I can tell you, not far from here is really nasty and uninformed plus elsewhere. I hope D is informed of what has been said about KJ and Rhydian singing together and he is prepared., he will need to be.

He did that during pop idol.

I saw Harry tonite. I thought it was a good plug for Darius- showed him singing t9o his hand and made it funny.

I had to go out of the room and shut the door. When I went in they showed marcella and kym with mylene and my husband said they were the finalists, I could hit him only found out when they brought the flowers.He looked as if he would burst into tears when he came on. I hope they give him a show aria next week like last weeks.

I feel very sorry for him. I dont like rolando, he has been at Darius from day 1.He must feel very down yet again.I wonder how much that was edited.

I thought th judges comments were awful and the aria itself is awful, dont blame him wanting to change, a set up.

Well in this case it seems so, when you think of the dialogie italian that D has to learn let alone the rifts up and down in comparison, its not the same ball park.

The point is to the public it will be recognisable but not overplayed to most so they will think its beautifull but not hard to pick up compared to what they expect D to do.

I wonder if they will also put D on first.

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!!

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.

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.
