I wonder if all ten were kitted out in what looks like the sponsor's colours. Did the links in the other post work?

I really miss dariusmusic.net. It was fantastic as a fansite and dire once 'hie people' took over it.

Bad memories of firefighting every Darius thread in there.

We're moving. I've finished posting elsewhere on the site now. If it's the Pop forum, I probably won't stay on the site anyway.

Darius is not a novelty. He's got one of the most versatile voices in the UK. He's moved smoothly from Pop Star, to sought after West End leading man, swing/jazz in LA and the UK and he's done something Kathryn'Jenkins etc never have - a full lead role in a professional opera production. The constant harping back to 3 minutes when he was 19 has been an unnecessary millstone and masked his undoubted talents which finally seem to be recognised.

"I don't care who you are, who you think you are or who you think I am, this is what I'm about. This is who I am. You can't touch me when I'm on stage.

10 guests and 2 members just now. Ah well, C'est La Vie! Waves to B'Witched fans.

Checked shirt one? I saw it a couple of days ago. Definitely LA, possibly Hallowe'en.

With shoes on. The real Nicky Arnstein was 6'6.

I think it was later. Mid 2006 after his run in Chicago at the Cambridge? That 3 thing applies to Chicago - It ran at the Adelphi, Cambridge and The Garrick theatres. Darius played Billy Flynn at all of them. He was Billy Flynn for its relaunch at the Garrick where he starred with America Ferrera (Ugly Betty).

Quirky!

Yes, that was the reason. It's very Darius to bow out gracefully with a song.

Yes it's on Live Twice. First listen you think nice heartbreak song then it ends with a fading heartbeat and you know it's about his father with terminal cancer.

"Journey's End" Are we really out of time? Is there nothing we can try? If I say what's in my heart Do you promise not to cry? Do you know how much it takes? Will this be my last mistake? Not to tell you how I'm scared Then to watch you as you're Slipping away Will you know how much I love you? Will you know how much I care for you? This can't be the way it ends... Stay Don't let this moment break Just let me touch your face I wish that I had found the words To tell you how I feel Cause every time you breathe You'll take my breath away And now I know No matter where the road may go You'll always be the sun Did you know? Can my love drown out this fear? Will time dry out these tears? If I whisper how I feel Will you hear what's in my head? How I hung on every move How I treasured every touch How I can't believe you felt the same How I can't believe we're out of time Did you know you were my reason? Did you know that it was Always you? This can't be the way it ends This can't be your journey's end... Stay Don't let this moment break Just let me touch your face I wish that I had found the words To tell you how I feel Cause every time you breathe You'll take my breath away And now I know No matter where the road may go You'll always be the sun Did you know? Stay Don't let this moment break Just let me touch your face I wish that I had found the words To tell you how I feel Cause every time you breathe You'll take my breath away And now I know No matter where the road may go You'll always be the sun Did you know? If we had just one more day Could I say what's not been said? Could I tell you all you mean to me? All the burning in my head This can't be the way it ends This can't be your journey's end...

I think the picture thread, a news thread and bits and pieces will be viable to keep on the front page. Others can be allowed to drop down until there's new news. The latter would probably include Sky Arts showings of Funny Girl, cinema info, DVD in the already started thread. We'd just have to trawl back a few pages and add the relevant info to bring it back to the front page.

Off to take a look at that. Got back to page 3 and didn't find it.

Thanks. Good Luck with your new forum. Hope your Taylor Swift community will have as much fun as we've had here on the Darius one making and strengthening friendships and getting to know the man and his music better. Congratulations to Taylor on her first number one.

We had the Bits and Pieces thread which sometimes broke rumours about Darius that turned out to be true such as throwing first hints of his role in Funny Girl, sometimes news loosely related to Darius, tiny mentions, photos in the media and sometimes some not so relevant stuff. That was/is our equivalent of a waffle thread.

Nice pic on the letter page of yesterday's National newspaper. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=darius+ca...tLLxWNUqeoDrQM: http://www.thenational.scot/community/1551...ake_it_my_home/ Both links work for me.

OK, so not one large one for the hold but individual cabin baggage. I hadn't grasped that. Better get cracking on it. Not much time left.

It's everything. The roller-coaster thrill following his career together. It is seamless. Everything he is doing now is down to foundations he' s laid down grafting behind the scenes, learning his craft from people he respects in the wider entertainment industry. I personally cannot allocate elements of his career to separate boxes and then judge them. It's like asking a mother to choose between her children.

To be fair, if Darius is going to be away for the best part of a year, mostly involved in film production in the US, it is probably a good time to make the move. We know him well. He will put his heart and soul and every waking hour into any project to be the best he can be and do the best he can while still learning from experts in their field. I must just trust the retro forum not to be claustrophobic although I fear that Darius threads on the front page may be too much for some and things will turn nasty.

The 3 swing song lyrics are in this thread http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=118154

Can we pack Darius's solo performance of Maybe in the suitcase, please? That was a one-off. These lyrics too? When I read then I still hear some of the melodies in my head. http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=64750 So Darius, great potential.
