eek. i'm an art teacher. this might explain the funny looks I get sometimes from the students

nah actually I just think they all think I am a few sarnies short of a picnic most of the time the strange things I get them to do.
I don't dress anywhere near as glam as Carrie though no point as it all gets paint or clay or summit on it!

and I don't think I'm quite the babe she is

I see what you mean....if it was me I'd go in with a boiler suit on and beat the living daylights out of them if they as much as sniggered at me. Well now you know how I was never cut out to be an art teacher

LOL thats well cute. Thanks for letting me know hun. I asked one of my friends who's a moderator on the site and she had luckily captured it on tape without realising so I will get to see it after all !

Yeah my friend had them made by another friend of hers. The dolls looked so good, especially David & he had tried to make them as personalized as poss with the clothes etc.

Carrie did mention to me about making my site official but then she's been so busy with FA I never got a definate go ahead, but I'm going to now!

Thanks again xxx

I saw her in the mini, she only needed a pint in her hand to complete the friday night tart look.

Carrie should not be on this show, or any similar stage. Her conduct during FA2 was outrageous. She acted as little more than Polydor's & Endemol's paid stooge, turning it into a complete laughing-stock & helping to ensure that the BBC would not consider a third series.

As for her, & her husband's, alleged as vocal coaches, they are average at best. Don't forget this is the woman that predicted that Alex Parks was about to forever change the face of world music. And if they were really that good they wouldn't have felt thre need to branch out into other business activities.

Used to love Carrie and her style... but now grow old gracefully please!

I think she's like an ageing has been/movie queen a la whatever happened to baby jane!

Her back combed hair other night was bordering on ridiculous

Carrie is fabulous and looks great. What is wrong with being individual in style I love her funky clothes.

*Yawn*

Carrie & David are the only ones who talk any sense in the live shows, and are constructive with their words- o0 and lovely Lesley of course.

Parky & Craig are just awful and don't even know what they are on about half the time. It's a good job C&D are there sticking up for the students otherwise they would be nervous wrecks after Parky & Craig had finished with them.

Did you say the same thing about them during FA2?

When they seemed to take glee in crucifying the students and sticking the knife in just where they knew it hurts?

Louise and Alex Parks being the obvious exceptions to this rule as they were perfect ....

Can anyone forget Louise's: I'm all yow-ers ....

Yep I did cos I wasn't a bitter Alistair fan!

They didn't crucify the students at all. Ali hasn't made it big and although Alex hasn't particularly either, she still won!

It's not the judges fault if some people are more vocally talented & better performers than others. As long as they treat them all equally and give them the help that they need, which they did. I'm not saying they're perfect but I really don't see what the big deal is....

You think its a big deal about the students being nervous wrecks in this show ... (your post #60)

Double standards?

What is the point of this comment?

This thread now starting to remind me of just why and how much I dislike Carrie and David - for reasons previous stated .. I find it totally incomprehensible how some people justify (or try to justify) the way they treated some of their previous students ....

Hardly double standards. I don't remember the students being nervous wrecks fourrrrr whole years ago! but if I did then i'd have gotten over it by now.

Whilst I do agree that she goes a bit over the top, I would say that the celebs probably turn up bare faced because they also will have to be doing choreography stuff as well, which may make them a bit sweaty.

However, whilst I don't really like her make-up, I'm glad she feels that she can wear what she likes. I admire any woman, especially an older one, who wears exactly what they want to even if they don't look quite right - it's like that Mars Delight advert when she puts her ball gown on for serving in a greasy spoon.

I did have second thoughts after that post and a comparison to an old drag queen would be more fitting a description.

There is an index in Carrie criticism that when a certain amount of negative posts are made someone has to mention her ailments...

Carrie was in the band 'Sweet dreams' which was the eurovision group in 1983. The song was called 'Never giving up'.

I think they're both really nice. As tutors they could just go in and teach the song and not care about the students. I think they show a lot of compassion.
