News of the world. There is virtually a full page on Danny of Mcfly. He is asked about the other contestants. This is what he says about D.never underestimate anyone he has a great voice. Ian Hyland same paper says and I am having trouble remembering this as didnt buy it. He makes out that ITV are picking all the arias that have been in adverts.£10 on Darius singing Go compare next week he says. That is the advert with the tenor and the long twisted moustache in evening dress but a tenor at that.

If they give him tenor arias in the future I shall begin to think he is being set up.

I think Mylene could manage very well on her own. Saw her do the lottery the other night and she was very competent. It would also save them a salary seeing as ITV are supposed to be cash strapped.

I thought Darius stood too far back from his mike and this affected the beginning of his song not being projected enough but maybe he is saving his voice. I hope that betting list isnt expecting him out next.

thanks baytree. I read that post on DS and thought how good to see someone who is knowledgeable unlike a few kids on there who dont know what they are talking about. I hope they are not going to continue with giving Darius arias for a tenor otherwise he is not going to be able to show his voice off to its full capacity of bass baritone.

I thought Meatloaf spoilt it, he was your face all the time. It needs pruning. Id get rid of meatloaf and alan titchmarsh. It wasnt as tacky as I expected being it was on ITV but BBC doing it would be better. Also the kids screaming in the audience got on my nerves, one got the feeling that if their hero sang the telphone book they would still be screaming.

I was the same as PIP. just as he was about to sing a friend rang to say he was on so shut her off pronto. I got lots of votes in and my husband will have a fit when the bill comes in. Can I ask was he the only one who sang out of his actual range baritone. I got really worried when I phoned as got through every time.

I cant believe it, I missed him this morning yet again. Was rushing around to go to a funeral at 10am where they played Susan Boyles album. I think it was because the funeral was so early that I completely forgot. Hope I can see it somewhere. Nesssum Dorma, that is some task for someone who is not a tenor.Anyway will make up for it in voting tonite.Re the press, as baytree says it is as if he has done nothing since pop idol or popstars.

thanks for the news, been waiting to hear. I wasnt expecting him to have to do tenor. will the public realise he is singing out of his usual range. Glad you all enjoyed it. There is also a campaign for Kym marsh to win.

Darus will need more than this show to put an album out on wont he.I do worry about him on this show when I see the other fanbases. I feel singing well wont come into it but he needs longer than one week to make an impact.Rhydian good as he was didnt win the xfactor. However I feel there are lots of acts out there who are not in the charts yet are regularly on tv ie. aled jones, cliff richard. ronan keating etc etc so why not D.

Chris rollins who won strictly come dancing won it on personality and was unknown to a lot of people being a sports presenter on bbc breakfast but he had a great personality and was unassuming but he amassed a large fanbase virtually from scratch.I have to admit that I voted for him several times and will do the same for D.

Thankyou so much for the link. I thought he looked fine. however I thought he chose his words carefully but I felt Jimmy did most of the talking. Jimmy played Billy flynn on the tour of Chicago.

The alan titchmarsh show who is presenting on friday with mylene klass had her on as a guest and they talked about the show. It seems the arias they sing could be well known and mylene announced a few names who were appearing, surprise D was not one of them. One of the candidates from the Girl group the Saturdays was interviewed re the show and then sang with her group.they then wished her luck.
