Yaaaaay! We're finally going to see the back of one of them in a minute.

Daniel and Rachel in the bottom two. :mosher:

Daniel just had to mention one more time that he will be singing for his kids and family.
 
Well, Amen to the end of Dreary Daniel, no more Dead Wives Club. I don't like Rachel but, I will concede, she was better tonight.

Sorry if I upset anyone in Accrington but Diana should go next. I am sick of hearing her hiccupping, a gimmick she obviously thinks may get her somewhere but it just grates on me.

Ruth - not so good tonight and JLS were pretty average as was Alexandra. Oggin looks favourite - he certainly is with our Laura (it's real puppy love) - he has the "cute" factor.

Oh what the hell. I don't really give a damn, it's all crap when you get down to it. :D

I'm not upset, I'm not from Accy.:D

You upset me earlier.;)

Besides people from Oswaldtwistle probably wouldn't get past the first auditions, as they tend to be more classically minded in here in Gobbinland, as witnessed by opera star John Tomlinson, and Sir Harrison Birtwistle, who had to leave his birthplace because there were too many 'wistles' for him to be taken seriously.:D

Please bear in mind I'm from Oswaldtwistle myself. I knew the Birtwistles, the Entwistles and the Haythornthwaites of Stanhill. They were classically minded, if you like, never had anything less than Count John McCormack on their gramophone. ;)

I know. Turncoat!:D

Wasn't there someone from Ossy, who in the sixties who found 'fame' by winning Opportunity Knocks a couple of times in a row?

I think that after her moment in the spotlight she contined to shine on the local am dram circuit, as a soprano of some note.

Perhaps someone might know?

I think her name begins with C, but better not post it, in case I'm wrong.

I've just googled and found this.

This Is Lancashire - Opportunity Knocks girl is back in town

Is this who you mean?
 
I.O.U. Karma.;)

I must have been giving it out as quickly as you found out that information.:D
 
I knew Irene Stephens very well when I was young. I was very friendly with her cousin Pauline and we all went to St Mary's Primary School. We used to put on "shows" in Pauline's back yard and Irene always sang, she did have a very good voice. I knew her until we were both in our late teens when we began to go our separate ways.

Irene's real name wasn't Spillane, as the article says. Her first husband's name was Spillane but the marriage didn't last very long. I have had no contact with her since she went to live in the US but I have "spoken" to Pauline, via FriendsReunited.
 
I knew her too - she was cousin to one of the New Lane girls I mated out with.
I remember she was strikingly pretty having blond hair and dark eyebrows.

Here , Here............but why should you upset anyone from Accrington...? after all she is from Blackbuuuuurn...when the vt clearly showed a house on Burnley rd just past the top of Bolton Ave..????
 
I'm glad Daniel went, but I must admit I also thought Diana should be in the bottom

Her performance was well... rubbish
She may not have recovered properly, but it didn't sound good
If she'd of had another week off, would she of been kicked out? Hmm
 
I thought Diana or Laura would win from the start, Diana wasnt too good last night, she will need to be well and put on a better performance from here on, her looks and the quirky little voice will only take her so far.
 
Sooooooooo in this weeks Th`Observer Diana finally admits she is from Accrington( sort of) but is happy to go along with the `Little Diana from Blackbuuurn` tag.......cheers love.
