why did you only pick three to choose from of there are 5 versions?
e.g. OTR after the win? This would be good to end a mash up because of the image of her in the baloon and the whole emotion of that moment would suit the end of the video.
will check the others out now though, but just wanted to stir things up! haha.

Haha it wouldn't be the first time

Picking up on what DHF said, you can't beat 'after the win' OTR for the raw emotion. And that beam of delight from Dan after she finished! I do like that version, except for the restrained last note, which doesn't fit in with my idea of the song.

In my view, the last note of OTR is one of the most beautiful moments in music.

Thanks for stir-frying it up DHF!
The reason I excluded the OTR after the win is because it has the green banner at the bottom of the screen with the credits. I can't be bothered to find a way to cut that out yet and it cuts into Danielle's 'why, oh why' bit.
Saying that though, I do like the balloon one. Choices choices!

Does anyone else think that the This Morning version sounds alot stronger than the OTR version? I thought the difference was considerable considering they were only performed a few days apart.

I thought Dan was great on This Morning. And it was a minimalist orchestration.

She was great on this morning, it shocked me how much she seemed to have improved since the OTR final and they were filmed only 3 or 4 days apart.

Not that the OTR final wasnt great but I just think she sounds alot stronger on This Morning and the palladium.

Of course, she was still in shock on final day. Like most of us, she must have thought Sophie had a great of winning.

She was totally shocked and thought sophie would win it was written all over her face. How happy did she look in that balloon, made all the voting worth it

I have been doing some research, Apollonia. And guess what I find? A post from you on Stephanie's thread! I didn't even know she had a thread (it amounts to a feeble 4 pages). And Baby D posting on the Sophie thread, to keep it on the main page.

Ladies, you get everywhere! I am a lightweight compared to you.

I posted on the Stephanie thread? Cant remember that, must have got lost, lol.

I remember posting on the sophie thread the morning of the final, war had ceased and we had a bit of inter thread bonding

Sonny you have nearly 1000 posts in 3 months, its took me almost a year to get near 2,500, so your doing rightly....

Yeah... I've also posted in the Lauren thread Guess you didn't spot that.
Anyways, you have a crap load more posts that I do and I've been here since May. It's shameful

I've made a lovely little poll in the forum which includes all 5 versions of OTR. Hope your happy now DHF

Very

1000 posts, I am impressed with myself.

No, you didn't get lost, you were touting your petition idea.

To come clean about my posting, not all my activity is on this thread. I have been known to post on the Apprentice, Siophie, even Ali & Brian. Yes, even I crop up in the strangest places. But 90% of my posts are here.

Nooo I'm not honestly!!!!

Yes totally!!!

It was so lovely especially when she was like oh my god and we could all hear. And her face it beat Jessica's expressions!!!

Well this is scary, we seem to have the same taste, I have posted on 3 of the same threads as you.

I always thought it was Jess giving Danielle lessons on crazy facial expression eg mambo backstage monkey type face but now im thinking it was Danielle giving jess the lessons all along.

Great minds think alike! One of my interests in Ali & Brian is how to keep a thread alive once the main drama has long gone. I guess we will be fine now anyway, with rehearsals only weeks away.

Dan is Dot and mambo mafia lives forever.

I am (was seeing as they are not together anymore ) a massive A & B fan but If people think this thread is off topic look at that thread. Gees it is random but they have a great friendly/family feel to that thread. They all have met quite a few times and get on well, I was at one of the events and they were hilarious.

Cant wait to see if Danielle will do a medley like Connie for RV. Hope we get to hear some of the new material soon or would it be better of it was a surprise.

Weird that people would come together over Ali & Brian, but it just shows what a bonding experience DS can be. I've read about similar stuff about Dancing on Ice, which I also found weird: I mean, these guys will never be skaters!

The great thing about Dan is that we have a star in the making. What we have in Dan is great style but also the substance to back it up.

haha Danielle and Jess should go into competition! Who has the best facial expressions

I think its the events that bring them together and DS one way of keeping in touch.
The events are made extra special when you are there with like minded people and A & B were just captivating live back when they were head over heels for one another and even in BTF they look so together and happy, I seen them about 2 weeks before the split, so it was a shock.

Yh Danielle is amazing and she is very young, as I said before we could still be here when we are on our zimmer frames.

Another mafia victory me thinks, poor munchkins

OMG! I didn't know they split up! They were cute together.

I'm sure we will be supporting Danielle throughout her career.
