Thanks Janie.... I wonder how BIG the number 1 will be pmsl! [img]wink.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I saw the end of the show, when he introduced numbers 2 and 1 but I think my TV must be on the blink b/c he definitely looked <font color="green">green!</font> [img]eek.gif[/img] lol Honestly, his face had this greenish tinge to it. Maybe it was the reflection from his shirt or, as I said, maybe my TV is to blame but it was most disconcerting nevertheless! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I can't really comment on what he was like presenter wise though as I didn't really watch it for any length of time. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Well I taped last night's show and I have as yet to watch it although like Terry I did catch the tail end of it.

Comes back to add that I've now got the repeat of it on TV and LOL Darren seems to be in the pink [img]tongue.gif[/img] Maybe that greenish shirt isn't exactly flattering to his skin tone [img]wink.gif[/img] LMAO he doesn't half love to talk! As he once said, he could hold a conversation with a chair [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I saw pretty much the whole thing and he did very well as a presenter, though if you weren't a fan who has read and watched a million of his interviews he may have come across as a bit of an arrogant arsehole. The vast majority of the songs were just plain awful. The good ones were 'Beds Are Burning' by Midnight Oil, Crowded House and INXS. And of course 'Land Down Under' was in there. As an Aussie, I would have been disgusted if that wasn't included. Lol. Where were the Divinyls and where were Icehouse? I ask you. These music channels suck big style.

*lol* @ xeno!

I caught the repeat (well, bits of it anyway) and couldn't agree more at the 'quality' of some of the tunes. It was a pretty dire selection, apart from a few of the classics like INXS etc.

I know what you mean about D coming across as being a bit of an dick though. If you didn't know better then that's probably the assumption that ppl would make. I was left feeling a bit [img]confused.gif[/img] by it actually.

Only trouble is I do sometimes wonder if he is a bit of a dick. Lol. I hope not. I thought it was ok but seeing him being a little more self-depreciating would have made him more endearing. Oh my, I am picky. Maybe I'm the dick! Lol. What I laughed at was when he said something about the Aussie big ones being a good chat up line and then adding "if only it wasn't true". Have you ever seen a man with a flatter trouser front?! PMSL.

LOL - I must've missed that particular quip. [img]wink.gif[/img] I heard him talking about prawns on the Bar-Bee and how Aussies never really say that!

Oh gosh I loved this show lol It really made me chuckle.. and I sure love that he can do that for me.

But what made me love it even more was the deep respect he showed for Michael and that in that particular part, there was no humour.. just gentle comments and adoration for a man who was a great musician and is terribly missed. That meant alot to me.
