He was brilliant tonight. Gets better every week. Loved the whole performance

Good luck to Darius for tonight. Will be watching this week and voting for Darius

I forgot to mention Susan Boyle in my previous post, but yes, it gave me goosebumps when she came in. If you follow the list in an earlier post on here, everyone is singing exactly where it said.

Nothing will ever be on a par with the original, but I quite liked it. The only bit I wasn't too keen on was Mariah Carey. Really liked Leona, Gary, James Blunt, James Morrison and the Kylie and Robbie bit at the end.

Just flick through the actual singing late last night, so haven't seen all the behind the scenes bits. Darius was by far the best on the night for me with Bernie and Marcella second and third. Didn't think much of any of the other three especially Danny. I'm so pleased that Darius got through, but very sad to hear that he may have split with Natasha. That would be such a shame. Whoever said it, I agree, he did look sad in his eyes.

What are these journos on :lol: :lol:

I'm not going to be able to watch tonight unfortunately, so will have to record and watch later. I hope all goes well for Darius. I shall be keeping everything crossed for him. If I can find out what position he's singing at, I'll try to put in a few votes for him.

Sorry, only just got on line. Is this it then or is it still just a rumour?

Any news on what Darius will be singing this week yet?

Totally agree with you Baytree. Nothing in my opinion will ever equal the talent from PI1, with the possible exception of Leona and time will tell if she can diverse from Pop music or not.

Yes :cheer: . Cameron Mackintosh did an interview for BBC which you can listen to on the iPlayer if you're quick. Its 2hr 4 mins into the program. He said the live recording will be made during the next three weeks in Manchester and will be available by Easter. He was so full of praise for Gareth and referred to him as `a gift to Musical Theatre' said he lights up the stage and several other lovely things about him, before he even went on to mention the voice :wub: :wub: . Also emphasized that he wasn't chosen to put bums on seats as the tickets were almost sold out before he was announced, but because he was perfect for the part. I got a sneaky feeling Cameron had been waiting 8 years for Gareth to get over his flirtation with pop music so he could get hold of him. Here's the link to the interview if anyone wants to have a lisen Cameron Mackintosh

Sounds just like a man Sue. Glad he enjoyed the show anyway :heart: :)

Breathe again everyone

Darius is on first by the sound of it.

So pleased you enjoyed the show. When you say `even husband was impressed', could I ask what his opinion was of Gareth's performance. Only there have been several men have commented that they were really surprised at how good he was.

The actual anniversary is the 8th October I think and the run at the Lowry ends on the 21st August, so I'm kinda hoping it will go on straight fro there until the final night on the 8th. Its only guesswork and wishful thinking at the moment though. They have said there will be another announcement soon. I'll let you know when I hear.

If that is Darius' next song, I think it will definitely suit him. Also agree with you about Leslie Garratt. She would have been far better on the panel than any one of the others. Meatloaf is already doing my head in.

New date announced. Its now going to The Lowry in Salford and there are strong rumours that it will end its UK stage at The Barbican in London on the actual 25th Anniversary of Les Mis. Already got tickets for the Lowry but am keepng my fingers crossed that if it does end up at The Barbican it wll be for more than just a short run. They moved on to Manchester last night and there has already been a good response.
