B.P.

As will I BT! I just found it a little distasteful, that this unfortunate and traumatic event in D's life could be dismissed so trivially, by including in the same sentence that "perhaps it will be good for us because we will get more of him over here now" :( Maybe I am being over sensitive, but I felt I had to respond. That's excellent Sue, thanks for posting it Is he on his own or is he likely to be with other contestants?

It's not about what you're supposed to say, but about what you're not! If you can't figure out for yourself why your post is in poor taste Caroline, I'm not going to waste any more of my time trying to educate you <_< Not seen anything so far Spam. It'll probably be a few days before it shows up, if the previous weeks are anything to go by. Lets hope he is ok and is able to see this show through to however far he progresses.

:o I think that's a little uncharitable Caroline. Maybe we could show a little sympathy and tact before we celebrate something awful for D, that may or may not mean we get to see more of him in the UK -_-

Not sure who you think may have been holding out with info re tickets etc Pat, but think you may be a little off base with that. PM me if you don't wish to post here, but please let me know. I'm sure you know who I am, but just in case, I am the fatbloke that broke your bed after the Night Under The Stars aftershow party in 2005 :D

It's a real shame :( Hope D is holding up ok. One thing I can't understand in the report is the nonsense that "Darius is spending a lot of time in the UK", because he just hasn't for the last year and a half! He's certainly been over, but not for sustained periods of time. D's mum made contact with Pat last Monday I believe, and asked her to rally the old guard(for want of a better expression) to vote for him. I'm guessing they have split recently, though it may have been on the cards for some time :(

Tweet from D

Fantastic that D is through and also that Danny was deservedly bottom 2, even with his fanbase. Gutted for Jimmy, as I thought he was far better than Danny this week! If D and Natasha have split, that will be an enormous shame :( Can't believe it as they were making wedding plans last year :( It could explain why D wants to succeed so much here. Is there any more info anywhere?

Hated the video before but a great comeback by D, off to vote :)

Lines open NOW! VOTE DARIUS 0911321005

It needed a stronger and better voice than Danny has Sue

It needed a stronger and better voice than Danny has Sue

So Bernie gets last billing again, why???????? Not happy with that, why put 2 men back to back??? I know D will sound loads better than Danny though!

OOOPS! D must be 0911321005

I think Darius' phone vote number is going to be 0911321006, as Bernie was last 1st week and there's only her and D after Danny. Will confirm when we know for sure.

What a lovely thing to say :blush: Thanks BT :wub:

Not me then :D D certainly is beautiful, both to look at, but even more importantly, as a person. I wish I was 10% as good as him on both counts! Spam, if you can get to a computer, I'll try and post D's number and also when phone lines are open, if that will help :)

Or the 3.42 post

Not in this post is it somewhere else?

Not sure if it's already been mentioned, but D will be singing in Spanish this week!

I don't think Kym's comments were helped by the journalists description of D at the start. With it saying "she giggles" it strikes me she was just having a laugh, which of course this loser has to seized upon. She may well have said similar things about other contestants that weren't featured, or even finished her description of D with a huge compliment, which they conveniently didn't feature! For the life of me though, if you are entering a competition, I can't understand why you wouldn't want to take it seriously, and try to win? If not, then what's the point of entering? People are often mis-quoted, or their comments are taken out of context, and I think Kym is actually probably a really nice person, so until it's proved otherwise, I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. The Scottish Sun on the otherhand, just goes on to priove what a piece of trash it is. Not only is it not worthy of wrapping around my chips, I wouldn't wipe my arse on it! :angry: Please forgive my candour, it is truly how I feel about that rag and it's blinkered, tired and and lazy journalists, who are obviously influenced/instructed in what they are to say about certain people.

Well I'm making a conscious decision to enjoy this show and D's ride along in it, however long or short it lasts :) It's just so nice to hear and see anything of him, I think it would be foolish to let our concerns spoil this experience for us. If D's career was to be opera based, then I might be slightly more perturbed, but he's not here for that, so no point stressing IMO. Let's just enjoy as much D as we can get, what do you say :)

From what he's posted he sounds as if he's enjoying the whole experience to me. Are we worrying more than we should be?

Does this fit with the Granada song?

I'm certain D had huge reservations about attempting Nessun Dorma, but he stepped up and did a good job. As mentioned, D will have known from the start what the show entailed, so I am sure he will do his best with whatever he's asked to sing. Bye the way, guess which bozo doesn't know how Granada goes :rolleyes: If that is what he is singing, I will try and take a listen at home tonight.

Will is clearly very intelligent, and I love how natural he is when being interviewed. Darius can on occasion seem to repeat particular phrases almost script like during interviews and re-interviews(such as GMTV in the past etc!), whereas I've never seen that of Will. He does have some wonderful interviews too though :) Thanks for the link Munchkin :)
