I've actually known Diana for a few months having met her through some musical contacts of mine and she's a sweetheart. Don't like her style, don't listen to it...think she's talentless?? well a very successful stint in the west end and the fact that I've been in a rehearsal room with her when she has sung tells me otherwise...

do we really need to slag someone off and reduce a chatboard I've come to love to nothing more than a page out of Heat Magazine??

Right, rant over[/quote]

I saw X-Factor when I was in the Netherlands this summer. I'm assuming that's different from what is shown in the UK. I find what you say here to be interesting.

I live south of Nashville.

Thanks. Considering that I've already been close to the UK several times, it's unfortunate that circumstances prevented me from visiting. I'd love to go.

I'm from the U.S. Although I've never been to the UK, I have visited Ireland and the Netherlands several times over the past five years. Although it was never planned, I've been very much influenced by British bassists, beginning with Paul McCartney, continuing with Noel Redding and Jack Bruce on to Chris Wolstenholme.
