THE VIRTUAL TALENT SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
      #143515 - 04/07/2008 14:19

THE VIRTUAL TALENT SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!:D

Tell us what act you've chosen to do and why you've chosen to do it. Hopefully it will be something that you can do in real life. Here goes..........

I'm going to do a 'Stars in their Eyes' version of 'Those Were The Days' by Mary Hopkins or Hopelessly Devoted to You by Olivia Newton John.

I have chose these songs because I am a soprano, and these songs are easy for me to sing! And I like to think I would look the part with the right wig on!!!

So what are you going to do....belly dancing...juggling...plays the violin...?????

I will put on a line dancing display

I have chosen this because I can line dance now (have been going for over 6 months and can finally do a couple from start to finish!!!) and because I can't sing (though I do it anyway!) and would clear the room, lol

Well, I'd like to do an impersonation of Joyce Grenfell doing one of her famous monalogues - mainly because my husband says he thinks of her when I get on my high horse about something... Now, don't do that Johnny...

This is a hard one for me Jane. I could have played the violin if I hadn't sold it to buy a pair of new shoes when I was at school. I figured it wasn't 'cool' to play the violin and of course don't need to give a reason why I wanted new shoes. Singing - I'd hate to subject you all. I would have been able to play the piano if I'd stuck with that but hated to practice. Dancing - I love to dance but don't think you'd like to watch. I think I'll have to get back to you on this!

Ok Jane if I MUST. I'll can be the backup singer in a band. You know - the one that does the 'ooooooo' and shakes her hips. Or if that's not enough I will join up with a blonde volounteer and mime and dance 'Dancing Queen'. I would look fab in that costume.

I could only ever be in a virtual talentless competition.

I have no discernable talents AT ALL. Truly.

Marg, Dancing Queen by Abba is one of my favourites!! We can do that one together if you like!!!

Summer, looks like you just got yourself a job! You can always change you mind again if you want to. Everybody has a hidden talent somewhere!!

mjm, okay I've got you down for Gwendoline.

Sounds like I might need a Tena Lady for that one!!

What's Perry's party piece by the way?

Summer, I'm sure you'll do a grand job!

Butterfly, Great! I'll put you down as a Roly Poly as they're hilarious!

Jewels, I hope you're not a prude, as to do Joan Rivers properly, you've got to be really disgustingly vulgar and tell dirty jokes!! I hope you're okay with that!
