Re-watching.... I think Harry was mouthing "Wow"? I'm not sure though. It would be quite funny if he was swearing.

And Lia_246 - I noticed their fidgeting too - thought was quite endearing

Where abouts can we see them in the vid? I'm actually wanting Vans and have been looking for a while lol

Same! It shows that, behind all the singing and dancing and jazz hands etc, they really are just kids!


Um you can kinda see them during the boys' (cheesy) group pose as 0.18 - they've got black and white check on the top, like a chess board! Alex also wore them to his audition I noticed (they must be his favourite, like Chester's pink T-shirt!), which leads me nicely on to my next point!

Just to add some quirks to the list! At 1.22 Alex walks out to audition, turns around to talk to someone so he's going backwads and almost trips over his own feet! It's very sweet (and funny)!
And Chester's little hiccup (or whatever it was!) at 2.24. He looks so shocked!

A few more stuff:

When the boys go over to hug Jonny you can hear Harry (I think?) saying "Well done Jonny" (2:56). Aw. I'm speculating, but I think he and Jonny might be good friends - they always seem to be looking at/next to each other on stage/task footage!

00:14 - Jordan's thumbs up made me laugh. Also I love Jonny and Chester during Gareth's bit!

01:30 onwards - Joseph's fidgety feet

TBC...

Aw, that just makes me smile Thank you! *hugs*
After I've visited all those links you guys posted up, I probably will write a super-long response indeed Just have some catching up to do first.

For now I will say that I don't mind the fact that Chester (and some of the other boys for that matter) is (are) so elusive. Of course, I love snooping around for information as much as anyone else here, but it usually makes me feel sort of relieved when I can't find any. I find it comforting to know that some things just stay private. That these kids don't actually live their entire lives in the spotlight. But maybe I'm just old-fashioned...
Of course I'm not talking about all of us reviewing performances and other pieces of footage; there's nothing private about that!

I also love 1:23 when Joseph goes the opposite way to all the other boys. What a cutie

Also, 1:01 ish http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQLX9fWcskc Gareth and Sarah mess up there wee dance because Garath moves too early !

And http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_NlAaHNXyo 1:36, I can't figure out why but Fran and Arthur are laughing and it's really cute! Lol!

I love harry he seems like he has a great personality and good stage charisma!

I just love Laurence's facial expressions in this choosing Nancy clip - his air of mock seriousness makes me smile!


Also, Harry in "Celebrating Oliver!" (can only find really rubbish quality vids on YT):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqtkX46mlX8
Pops up quite often, the small boy with the overlong fringe

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXV7v...eature=related
He's the one on the top from 1:44 onwards. He must have been about 9 then because this was in 2005!

All these video's you guys have found make me laugh (and sometimes a little sad too ) I have a very busy day at work ahead but hopefully I'll find some time during the weekend to re-watch everything again and see what stands out for me (and then bore all of you with it )


Thanks Lia, for that video! I tried to find footage of the first auditions a while back, but couldn't. And re your comment on Chester; aw, bless, he does look shocked, like he's thinking his entire audition is now ruined because of it.

Loved that immediately! That's first class acting right there!

Thanks for all the clips everyone. Just spent some time smiling and laughing at them. I've been trying to pick other things out, but most of it's been mentioned already!

At 0.42, Chester slips very briefly!

Also, there are some general things which I think are lovely. Chester always kind of shakes his head when he sings which I think is adorable. I remember Jonny doing this proud little smile at the end of I Have A Dream which was very sweet.

And one other thing, in Tomorrow did it annoy anyone else that towards the end of the song Alex was stuck behind Laurence? You couldn't see him!

I like how through the week you'll see all of their hair slowly getting longer and shaggier then suddenly someones (like Alex's) will suddenly be short. I noticed it mostly with Harry in the school task and Chester at about 0.07 http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=iKqbBfcZ5iQ

it's getting long and he has to push it out of his face.

And another thing, when Jonny was picked to be in the semi-final and all the others run to hug him, if you look really closely you can see that Alex has him in a really tight embrace at 2.56, it always occured to me that those two were really close. Especially on the last show.

Okay...this took me far too long.

I've tried to get all the screencaps that http://performingartskids.com/nggall...m-1/gallery-2/ does not have...some pictures are not that good quality, but that can't be helped.

I'm sorry about the strange titles. it was a bit too late at night for me to be doing anything serious.


Apologies also for the scary amount of Chester that dominates this album. It's a bit Chesterific . What can I say, he's my favourite.

So here is the link. I hope it works

Thanks DNY, I've just been cracking up at some of the pictures. Especially this one - http://s290.photobucket.com/albums/l...&current=e.png - I think it's your title of 'ha ha ha' which made me laugh, not sure why!

Also this one - http://s290.photobucket.com/albums/l...sweirdhand.png because I remember when they came out and Harry started to wave, then realised no one else was and tried to disguise it. Thought that was hilarious.

Some of your titles are brilliant too.

And there are some great screencaps too, really lovely.

DNY that must have taken you ages! Wow!

Gwion throughout this clip just makes me smile: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=sH8U7_-9Jsc The way he's just looking at Sarah almost the whole time smiling. Doesn't half give it away! haha! And aslo Alex's weird pointy thing at 0:22.

Also, maybe I missed something in the previous pages but where are these pictures from: http://s290.photobucket.com/albums/l...current=25.png ? cute

Time well spent...hopefully


Err yes, excuse the large amount of mistakes in the titles. It is way past my bedtime

In case anyone is going to ask permission to use them, which probably won't happen, of course you can, seeing as I have no ownership over them at all

You are just the best. I love all your captions; these are some of my favourites:


" Jordan's hips don't lie..." - rofl. No wonder Alex is cracking up in the background!
"LOL at Harry's hand. What is he doing? A stunted wave?" - I think it was his attempt at being the Queen
"Doesn't it look like the red moon-shaped BBC thig is coming from Jordans finger? :P" - lol.
"Alex's hamster pose " - just loved everything about his reaction!
"I cross my fingers every night" - I love this too. And at that point I was convinced he had it in the bag
"is Harry wearing mascara? :P" - I totally thought this during Tomorrow. His eyelashes must be longer than mine...

Alex looks so different pre-haircut. It's like a different person.

I'm not a huge fan of the Lucky Jim video - I think it's the way they took it but it just looks like Chester's got perpetual bags under his eyes and he looks a bit ill!

Keep those coming! Your comments are hilarious

Youtube are performing maintainance. What am I supposed to do with my evening now?

Its annoying me too! I was going to post their performance of Together, with Sarah, because there's this adorable part in it near the start where Gwion and Jonny share this little smile which always makes me go 'awww'.


EDIT: Working again - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=AXb_WlLSVw4
0.10 is the cutest thing. Along with Jonny tapping his little foot and then just all the boys singing away on the steps - I'm so soppy.

Yes, I noticed that too and thought it was very sweet. I noticed them looking at each other at the end of Tomorrow too although youtube may have cut the ending off.

DNY, can I just say: wow!!!
And that I'm late for work now, because once I started viewing all your screencaps, I couldn't stop !

Glad you guys like them! I've corrected all the mistakes in the titles now. Some of them were embarrassingly bad. I must have been very tired, I had mistaken Jonny for Harry!

I think I may make a load of MSN icons to pimp out to the fans now heh heh

I'll have to check them out later. I'm going to be late now. Hope to see lots of posts by the time I get home...

Was gutted that Kwayedza didn't get through........
