I love that post from Tracy. It was before my time, but I remember reading it when flicking through the threads, it certainly made me smile
It was really nice of her to keep the mafia informed by posting on here.

Trying to remember which ones we knew about: CIBM, CMAR, did we know any others, can't remember if we guessed On My Own or did someone give us a clue? Trying to remember what Tracy said about the final, something "silly" was it?
As for "On My Own", there was speculation in here based on something Tracy had posted, but then someone posted the spoiler in another thread confirming it. We also got a spoiler for "When You Believe" and all the semi-finalists' solo songs in a DS article. |

hello everyone in the mambo mondo!
like this idea of choosing favourite posts. My posts have been very few and far between (and brief!) so is it possible to put forward someone else's post for consideration? Would like to remind people of this post from Part 1, just before Mambo Italiano - it makes me smile a huge smile !! ![]() (Tracytrog, april 26th): and I remember how she bitched about one of the mums that week too although wouldn't say who! Was soo funny.

haha! ^ didn't realise about the Etta James thing. Do remember Tracy saying once something about "It's all in the game" or something similar and thinking was it going to be a song from Chess! We were seizing on every word!! Trying to remember which ones we knew about: CIBM, CMAR, did we know any others, can't remember if we guessed On My Own or did someone give us a clue? Trying to remember what Tracy said about the final, something "silly" was it?

I've got some fun stuff and some quite silly stuff. It's quite light-hearted and the audience and public haven't seen that side of me. I've really grasped the opportunity to be fun and jolly."

With On My Own, I remember Tracy giving a clue that the song was a real tearjearker and we guessed it from that before we found out for sure.
Okay so as well as saying your own fave you can nominate others for a fave post too, as e.g. there are people who have left but who made memorable contributions! dhf |

Morning mafia, good chat last night.
I think the night we got thrown out for Tracys post has been one of my favourite nights on here. |

Post your favourite DS post by yourself then we will vote for the top three posts!!! Happy searching! ![]() congrats on part 6 !! This is my favourite post which I actually put on the Facebook page for Over the Rainbow, in amongst all the football chant type things I was doing to get a bit of competitive stuff out of the other girls fans !!! "Whether you are a grown up or JUST A LITTLE GIRL it doesn’t matter, don't go out and dance a MAMBO or go for a meal at an ITALIANO restaurant, stay in ON MY OWN if you have to, even if you are really POPULAR, don’t CRY ME A RIVER, you need to stay in and watch OVER THE RAINBOW and vote for the Dorothy wearing the RED dress. COULD IT BE MAGIC ? I think it will be, WHEN YOU BELIEVE and when you HOPE, it can come true. Vote Danielle for Dorothy in the final. DAN4DOT !!!! " was quite proud of that at the time !!! Paul |

I don't think I've made any quote worthy posts. I've decided to go back to the beginning of the OTR to read back some stuff and found some interesting things: For those with a gambling side to them, here were the betting odds before the live show with the Top 10 (without Emilie): Quote:
The current odds are:
Stephanie - 3/1 Jessica - 5/1 Bronte - 11/2 Lauren - 6/1 Sophie - 6/1 Dani - 13/2 Jenny - 8/1 Danielle - 8/1 Steph - 12/1 Amy - 20/1 I'm quite surprised at Stephanie being the favourite, as I found her very O.T.T in her performances and her dancing utterly ridiculous and very stage-school. On the other hand, I feel Danielle is a very natural actress with an amazingly strong voice for a 17 year old. Of course these odds will most definitely chance after Saturday nights show. AMP ![]() ![]() Taken from the Official First Live Show Thread!!! 3rd April, looks like an early prediction here: Quote:
Oh I love Sophie, hope she's in final with Danielle
![]() Quote:
Danielle was the best, closely followed by Lauren and Sophie...
![]() Quote:
3. Danielle - Ironically, it's being the quiet one that's making Danielle stand out amongst all the others who are busily competing to be the loudest, most mental of the group. She's a really sweet, endearing girl and I thought her performance had lots of light and shade and was very sincere.
![]() Just wanna add this next one coz I found it so funny: Quote:
LMAO
I have the subtitles on and as per usual they write what they want too even if it isn't what the person said. Talking about Steph ALW said. "I'm so pleased I saved you." The subtitle came up as "I'm so pleased I saved Jews. ![]() Coming next year Schindler's List: The Musical. ![]() These are not my nominations but just wanted to re-post them for fun.

love it paulb229!![]() BabyDragon: those are great snippets, i'd forgotten about how lots of stuff was posted about Danielle on the live show threads probably before the appreciation thread was even started. This is all great stuff for the fanbook! It should all go in, what do people think? Sonny: not sure exactly what happened but Tracy made a comment about one of the other girl's mums (don't think we knew who!). Then I'm not quite sure what happened after that... the other appreciation threads weren't too pleased. best ask Snoop or DHF for all the details... |

I love all this early thread / pre-thread stuff. Remember FDUX, or someone like that? He started this whole thing off. I don't think he was a passionate Dan fan, but he sure knew his gambling...
Interesting to read that Dan's odds were so long at the start. Amy was a rank outsider, and should never have been in the final. This change of thread seems to have galvanised the mafia! I like it. |

FXDUX lumped money on Danielle, but then got scared and started betting on the other girls after reading stuff in the papers. He also started 'The Chosen One' thread, full of subliminal messages they were feeding us in the first live shows. ![]() Here's the link to the thread: http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/s....php?t=1239148 Also, found a quote from our Snoop in the thread: Quote:
I don't know about the "chosen one" at this point, but I did find it strange that Danielle stood out to me in the audition shows as the obvious front-runner, and then the judges barely talked about her in the Top 20. In fact, they highly praised her groupmates when two of them didn't even get picked for the Top 10. I can only think that either they went sour on her, or the OP is right and they're hiding her for some reason. If they really turn on the praise tonight, I think we might have our answer.
As for me, Danielle is still my choice as the most obvious Dorothy, but I picked up two other favorites in the Top 20 show who I'm not naming yet because things might change after the first live show. I don't understand the current bookies' fave, though, because I don't see anything special about Stephanie at all. Speaking of bookies' odds, if the OP is right about this theory, someone stands to make a killing if they bet on Danielle.

Thanks Baby. As I thought, FXDUX was more a gambler than a fan. He can contradict me if he wants!
Never even knew about the Chosen One thread. Interesting stuff, and we talked about the topic a lot at the end of part 5. I never really believe what I see on TV, but I do know Dan was the best! I'm still surprised she was as long as 8 to 1 at the start. |

Well Baby I had a read of the FXDUX thread and there were some good posts. I really wish I had known about that thread before introducing the topic last Friday.

I found FXDUX entertaining. Here's some of his classics: Quote:
For those poor distressed souls who can't understand why Danielle is The CherryBlossom Llama Who Shall Heal The Dark Crystal, I'd recommend watching her in the group performances, like If My Friends Could See Me Now or Get Happy.
She delivers her solo lines with such pizzazz, such star quality, that I have to strap myself to the ironing board before watching them to avoid running across to the computer and putting on impulse double-your-money bets at the bookies. The prosecution cites 0:31 at the following video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyNRwnLnFqM Quote:
Old 01-05-2010, 20:34 #676 Even as a gambler, you still have to be a fan to a certain extent to be able to lump that amount of money on someone.FXDUX What a relief. To be honest, I am finding it difficult to get too excited because Danielle is now an old lady and looked slightly arthritic out there. FINALLY!!!! You idiot producers!!!!!! FINALLY!!!! Never in the history of reality shows did so many producers screw up so stupidly. The vocal did suffer a tad, but at last AT BLOODY LAST a little bit of pizzazz and character in a solo song. She needs that every week now. They say in the movies when you are writing a script you need to show, not tell. Danielle's competition so far has been all about ALW telling us how great she is, and very limited opportunities to SHOW. You could see in his face halfway through that finally she was showing. I think she's got a lot of ground to make up, and I hope they give her another song next week, assuming she is still there, which will allow her to build on this. When Danielle is on top form, she pulls away from the other girls. But she's a bit like Tom McKean, penned into the pack with 250 metres to go. I hope it's not too late for her to start kicking. Good job! I do the same thing, I only bet on people/things I like/support otherwise there is no point. Yes I put a bet on Danielle too. ![]() I am lovin' going through all the old threads.Ah, memories.

love all the thread reminiscing!
Just wanted to say that I found out through fb and some twitter detective work that Danielle sang at (I think) a Girlguiding 100th anniversary party last night in Croydon. A guy involved posted a photo on twitter of himself with Danielle and replied to my tweet (thought he'd probs ignore some weird random person tweeting him but no!) saying that she sang something from SisterAct and we might get to see a vid of it sometime!

For all that he was provocative - no doubt purposely so - FXDUX was a very intelligent poster. I loved reading him.
