It really depends when you come to Leeds, in the evening the centre is booming with party goer's and the like, so its quite lively.

I'm sure Danielle isn't lonely, she'll have loads of people to socialise with.

We will never really know. All we see is her public persona. I HOPE she is doing fine. I know I feel lonely in London but I am always there in different circumstances.

'When the streets are cold and lonely...' (Stone Roses).

I'm sure all is going well for her.

Next time I go to London will be to see la Speranza herself. I always need an excellent reason to head for the smoke!

Heyy, i thought that might have been the case. I was out until early hours of the morning and wasn't tired to thought i'd just check lol..

How is everyone today?

Benissimo grazie. My night out on the tiles is tonight! Looking forward to it already.

I'm pretty good thanks, enjoying the conversation on the forum about music
Right now I'm planning out my evaluation for the fan book, it's not so easy, as Danielle will read them I want it perfect

How are you?

Good good .
A night out on the tiles is always good, last night was quite funny . Have a good evening!


Goodo. Hope you figure out what to say.. i'm sure Danielle will love it. If you or anyone needs any help i'm always willing to try.. can't guarantee i'll be much help lol, but can give it a shot

I'm ok thanks My day off today so been out with some family for lunch and just having a lazy day .

Thanks, if I need help I'll shout

Everyone needs a lazy day from time to time.

Does anyone still have the full show of week 2 recorded?

No, I have always made do with bits and pieces on Youtube - a very frustrating way to relive the brilliance which was OTR.

Same Its does get rather annoying, flicking through bits and pieces.

An episodic way of viewing. It is why I have not said as much as I would have liked to on the forum rewatches. Give us a DVD!

Having OTR on DVD would be amazing, they could put so much backstage/extra footage on.

Yes, I'm sure there is loads of interesting stuff which never found its way to our screens.

I really want to know what happened straight after Danielle won, we weren't really shown much

Has everyone seen this website:

I have no idea who runs it, but its pretty cool

Never seen it. All good stuff.

This had to be done, Mambo Italiano translated into Italian...my Italian is shocking so I used a translator


Un ragazzo tornò a Napoli, perché gli mancava il paesaggio
Le danze native e le canzoni affascinante
Ma aspettate un minuto di qualcosa di sbagliato

Ehi mambo, mambo Italiano hey hey mambo Mambo Italiano
Go Go Go si confondono Siciliano
Tutto quello che Calabrese fare il mambo-come un pazzo con la
Ehi mambo non vogliono tarantella
Ehi mambo no mozzarella di più
Ehi mambo Mambo Italiano provare un enchilada con un baccalà pesce
Goomba Hey mi piace come si balla la rumba
Ma prendere qualche consiglio paisano imparare-a come mambo
Se si sta andando essere un quadrato si ain'ta andrai da nessuna parte
Ehi mambo mambo Mambo Italiano hey hey Mambo Italiano
Go Go Joe agitare come un tiavanna
E lo Che dadi se si ottiene felice nella pizza quando si
Mambo Italiano

Hey you don't chadrool-a dover andare a scuola
Basta fare con un grande Bambino
E 'come vino
Kid-a è buona ma è bello don'ta sapere cosa bolle in pentola 'til si
Ehi mambo Mambo Italiano
Hey hey mambo Mambo Italiano
Ho Ho Ho è mescolato Siciliano
E lo Che dadi se si ottiene felice nella pizza quando si
Mambo Italiano

Does anyone on here find something similar about Danielle and Lauren's voices? Not a criticism, btw. I've just been listen to my ipod at lot in the last couple of days and when their OTR comes on I have to check who it is. Actually although I wasn't Danielle's biggest fan, I love listening to her, especially 'When You Believe'.

I'd love her to do an album of 40's/50's music like Mambo Italiano, Get Happy and Singing In The Rain. She was great in the group performances of the last two.

Grazie Roberto for the translation. This thread is becoming an educational treat!

I'd never really found them difficult to tell apart

Danielle was destined to sing songs from the 40's/50's, she just works so much better with them as opposed to a modern song (I'm not saying she's bad at 'hip' songs)

I don't find their voices that similar. I have always been happy to accept that Lauren has technically the better voice. However, for reasons I find difficult to explain, I have always enjoyed listening to Dan more. And of course she scored over Lauren in the acting and dancing.

I don't think they sound similar at all, but I suppose they do sometimes. They sounded quite similar in the duet of popular.

I agree, Lauren's voice is too erm what would be the word...powerful for me (that didn't sound right). Danielle's voice is graceful and quieter, which makes it more beautiful to listen to
