Nice enough review, in part, but a disappointing 6/10 only!

Really hope this beautiful song makes it to No. 1.

By the standards of reviews, of TV talent show people, by 'serious' music journalists that's a fairly good score.

I was looking at the archives and Will Young's first single got a similar mark - 5 - and review that doesn't read quite as positive as David's.

Will's duet with Gareth was really slated though. :shocked:

Darius's album was quite highly thought of mind you.

David is making his debut appearance on TOTPs tonight.

This is actually quite unusual as they normally have a policy of not having anyone on until their single is released, and preferably already in the charts.

I suppose they are giving him extra promotion because FA was a BBC show.

I think music critics are just scared to show any kind of praise to singers who have made it from reality tv. its a shame because this song is really good but then again, each to their own.:dazzler:

There's plenty of chances to catch David on other shows though.

Including Saturday Show tomorrow, TOTP repeated in the wee small hours,
On Sunday a programme called Smile on BBC 2 at 8:00 am, Fame Academy Remixed on BBC Choice at 8:00 pm.

I thought David was really good actually. Smashing. :hugesmile:

What exactly is this, James? It doesn't say anything about it in my TV mag.

I think it is another chance to see the same docmentary that was shown a couple of days after the final.

The full title is 'Fame Academy Remixed: The Winners Story'.

Thanks, LEE.

I didn't see this the first time it was on so I'll definitely be watching it this Sunday.
