| I mention the show "The Choir-Unsung Town" a supposedly "grotty" housing estate brought together by choirmaster Gareth Mallone to form a (very very initially reluctant) community choir.Tonight was the final episode with the estate arranging for a musical festival on the local playing field which was a massive success For me...the best performance they did was last week. The incredibly moving & amazing Barber's Adagio for Strings (Agnus Dei).The choir was a cross section of the estate, elderly.. to kids from the local school & they all had to learn latin too.What amazing proof that community spirit can be revived  |

| Yes that's him alright!!! Awww, he's such cutie. What a doll! He did look very nervous, but I'm glad he got another chance from Cheryl. I hope he gets those nerves worked out otherwise he won't be around for too long. That can't happen because I wanna see more of that sweet face! |

| Cheryl Cole is lovely  She can empathise with the contestants because she was one herself a few years ago.She isn't a nicey nicey judge either, does say what she thinks.Hmmmmm...can't say I'm that keen on Danni!.Louis can be like a little kid at times with his supposed insults, but my hat goes off to Simon...he cracks me up at times! One contestent..after being asked "Tell us something interesting about yourself"...announced that his brother had shot him once...but it WAS accidental.After a truly horrible audition, Simon asked if he had been singing that song just before his brother shot him One I did like...& he's from over the pond (do you know him??? LMAO) |

| Cheryl was in the series " Pop Idol- The Rivals".. a reality show that "found" a group of girl singers & boy singers, each having to fight for a place in the final groups.The band formed "Girls Aloud" have been one of the most successful UK girl groups & the only group from the 2 series that are still releasing songs. It was the intial series that spawned Pop Idol (which then spawned American Idol  ) ...errr I think!!! Cheryl & Girl Aloud in action.... The Promise ....Trust me...you hear this a few times....lol & you can't get it out of your head!!!..reminds me of 70s type songs for some reason |

Oh Bugger I'll have to hope someone posts it on You Tube away from the "BBC" *sigh* |
It's only been the choir ones I couldn't open............. Cheryl can sing! I was meaning to google Girls Aloud, but haven't had the chance, so thank you. There is a guy on another board that is all 'hot' for her! I'll have to take this one over for him! Too bad she's kind of hidden behind the mic though. It is a catchy tune! |

| Caught up on the last two episodes. There were some surprises and disappointments for sure. But at the same time there are some I was definitely expecting or at least I was pretty darn sure about. I'm so sad for Dom and Curtis especially Dom. That was so hard seeming him go when he's tried so hard knowing this wasn't his first time. There was just a lot of very heavy competition in the boys category. Well, in all of the categories really. I can't believe they have to take the final 24 now and cut it down to only 12 for the show to really begin. That's going to be so hard. I don't know how they're going to decide. I sure couldn't be of any help. I love so many of them. Well so far Jamie, Danyl, Stacey, Rikki, Olly, Lloyd, Ethan and both Daniel's all made it through. Needless to say I am happy. Now all of them just need to make top 12 and I'll be ecstatic! |
