Worrying. Why couldn't they give him an emotional song to really show his talent and move the viewers?

Not at all what I hoped he would sing.

Hope you're sleeping now BT

All I know is that Colourblind sold over 315,000 and the album Dive In went platinum

I keep missing him too because of work. Thank goodness for Youtube and iplayer

Please do.

Is he going to be on?

me three.

Thanks for the warning. Luckily I was at a school across the road from home, have just come in for lunch and seen this so can watch it.

How lovely. Congratulations to them Sue. Great to hear some good news for a change

Very good Sooz

I have too much work to squeeze into too few hours to have a day off or even go in late. Last week was manic and this week will be just as bad.

Another programme I'm going to miss because of work.

not a great version of Friday's show as its focus is on the fly comment but the only one up on Youtube at the moment <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQcSmcpiV8Y&hl=en_GB&fs=1&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQcSmcpiV8Y&hl=en_GB&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

At least Darius got through despite them.

So glad he got through. Looking forward to seeing him singing on the repeat. Even though I didn't get to hear him, I managed to vote and hubby did too.

stupid connection on the train. Missed all of darius' song but it stayed for the whole of Marcella's

Shame I was working and missed the webchat. Glad they put up the transcript though.

hope my dvd recorded as I'm at work so couldn't watch.

Hugs to you Sharon. Hold onto the good memories because that keeps her alive in your thoughts.

Thanks BT, was waiting for them to put it up.

NO ONE had any early knowledge about tickets. I heard the same time as everyone else when it was posted on here on 2 January. As soon as I heard, I applied for tickets, not even sure Darius was definitely on the show. Trish, you could have done the same and would probably have got priority seats unlike myself who is regarded as local, which means getting tickets doesn't automatically mean getting in. If you read some of the earlier posts you'd know that those coming from a distance get priority and are guaranteed a seat but if you live in or near London you have to wait until last - effectively third class citizens. We stood waiting for three hours in the freezing cold yesterday and only just got in. Right up until fifteen minutes before the show, we didn't think we would. We were given the last seats and couldn't see half the pop stars sing because we were right at the side and scenery was in the way.

I do like Darius with designer stubble but his eyes look sad. He sang wonderfully tonight but it is too much hassle getting in - hours waiting in the bitter cold, followed by the uncertainty of whether we'd get in or not and knowing if we didn't we'd never get home in time to watch it on tv. Our view was greatly obscured and we couldn't vote. Glad your mum and Dave got in lots of votes Meg.

What an idiot, just because Darius is taking the competition seriously.
