It's quiet here tonight ... I think some were having technical problems. Let's have some appreciative discussion about Chanelle. Not sure what she's up to tonight.

Oh hello. Are you in here as well?

So whose looking forward to week no 3 of Wannabe tomorrow? Heat might put another clip up.
So we get to see them in the Wannabe house, Maybe Chanelle has moved in with them .
She must be busy or out enjoying herself as it's unusual for her not to post new messages. Unless she's having Computer/Laptop problems like Mrs Fad.

I'm looking forward to seeing a bit more of her in tomorrow's show. A bit of interaction with the girls ... which will showcase her interpersonal skills and generate more interest from the TV people.

Me too looking forward to part 3 of wannabe.... Should be as great as the past 2...
These challenges could be anything! Ohh we could guess but id say we would be completly off the mark! we still dont know the date for the final showcase do we? it was originally meant to be GAY Astoria! but not sure now as they said a big London event! need to get searching I think! isnt this filmed a week in advance?! or more!?

The pages are taking ages to load! I keep givin up...oh well see if it works this time!

We should see more of Chanelle in Wannabe if she's setting the tasks they have to do.

No Chanelle on DS front cover.

There doesn't seem to be enough time for 4 more Friday shows and the performance before Xmas, but I'm sure it'll all make sense soon.

Thanks a lot for those clips - I agree Chanelle does have a great voice - just need to make sure she knows it

Re STFU they were just lyrics of a song - if anyone should be upset it is Chanelle for Gods sake!

Hi myk
Given that we know Chanelle has a great voice already - I agree the music training which she has would make it much easier for her to learn a new song quickly.

Interesting observation as to why she may yearn for perfection in anything musical too.

She sounds a bit like Mel B I think, but maybe that was her line in Wannabe that she was singing. Her voice has potential, and hopefully as D. Laudat is a myspace friend, she might be considering something.

thats really good- thanks for that

I need 4 more post for 5000 up for appreciating Chanelle on here.

Even though this place has become a bit of and anti Chanelle zone and problems have not been dealt with evenly or consistently for reason beyond me I've still had a great time appreciating Chanelle on here.

I hope you don't mean this thread - nothing anti-Chanelle here. Loads to appreciate.

I was referring to DS in general not here, you have only had to watch over the last 3, 4 month to realise things aren't as they should be on here.

If it wasn't for me wanting to keep some kind of positive Chanelle thread on here I would have give up a long time ago.

I don't know what the agenda is but there definitely is one.

Isn't it better that those who don't appreciate are also talking about her, regardless of what they say? Doesn't bother me - I just wish we had more posters and posts on here, considering Chan is doing so well and we have so much info, pics, articles on her. Can't do much about other threads.

Yes that would be great if it was allowed for all ex HM's.

No one would have ever left here if DS in their wisdom hadn't decided to shut it down for a week for a reason only they know.

It's hard to appreciate Chanelle when they keep putting barriers up, barriers you don't see used on any other thread.

Maybe the thread was doing too well and this is what they wanted, but it was hardly just or fair and it has just encouraged the anti Chanelle brigade.

People were posting 50-100 posts per day on here in appreciation of Chanelle now you'll be lucky if they are posting 10.

I cannot see how that can benefit anyone.

Still loving Chanelle though.

Yes I totally agree ... people who feel the need to post about her from early in the morning until late at night are more obsessed than the CAT with Chanelle !!!
We should really just try and ignore them and carry on appreciating her and sharing all the info and pics we have.
Chanelle is doing well ... it is a shame that the CAT has become a rather dry place but we must soldier on as best we can ... and wait for more peaceful times.

Well, there's nowhere else for me to go (other than some defending of Chan on temp threads). Things may pick up as more people really appreciate her., as I'll comtinue to do. I think there were technical probs tonight, which meant less appreciating.

Well I'm off to build a trench.

Nearly the weekend and time to do some real Chanelle appreciating without things like work getting in the way.

Gosh that last post sounded like something out of Lord of the Rings.
I wonder if Chanelle has read that ?
We know she is a big Harry Potter fan ... I wonder if she ever found time to read the last book ?

I think events may have stalled her reading temporarily, but she's probably finished HP by now; would take me an age to read a book that length.

Did you see Chanelle had been voted the 10th sexiest female of the summer in some poll today ?

That was a pizza-eaters' poll, I think. Don't know what to read into that (mostly actresses, I think), but she was in exalted company.

I know.

She should have been number one.

She'd prob be embarrassed if she won any more polls; she might be No. 1 in the singles chart before long.
