Carolynne Chat - 3rd November 2003
Ok here are some parts of the conversation!
C: My dad was looking at the site last night and we want
to make sure no-one is getting confused and stuff about
things. Oh what was it? The Hamleys and the Leeds lights…….
S: Yeah
C: Oh it's just soooo gutting
S: What one are you doing?
C: The Hamleys one
S: Not Leeds??
C: No, which is really gutting for me. I've begged and begged
to do Leeds. I don't care about getting paid or anything
I just want to turn the Leeds lights on. But because they
have advertised it in Hamleys and people have booked it
they cant change it.
S: There will be a ton of gutted fans that were going to
Leeds!
C: (sighs) Yeah. But then again if I don't do Hamleys they
would be too.
S: You can't win really can you?
C: No. It's made me feel really sad. I don't mean I'm not
bothered about doing Hamleys, but Leeds is Leeds ya know?
Since I was little I dreamed about doing that.
C: I was wondering if there are any questions you need
to ask me coz I noticed you are being asked stuff and you
are like " I don't know man!" (laughs)
S: Yeah! Are you doing Children In Need after all?
C: I don't know yet, I really don't know.
(We talk about record deals etc)
C: I'm not rushing to get something out. I get to go away
and write and I know things will happen for me next year
and I can come out with a full album I have written myself,
that's totally me. I don't have to quickly rush an album
out.
S: Yeah you can take your time to make it how you want it.
C: Yeah, I mean Lemar took a year out, he didn't go away
completely. But I'm still gonna be working and doing things.
S: Okay that's good.
C: (all excited) Oooh I met Mariah Carey the other day!!
S: Really??
C: I went to her Halloween ball (giggles) I dressed as a
witch and she was a mermaid!
(both laugh)
S: Didn't get any pictures from that did you? (laughs)
C: No I didn't, but I shook her hand!
S: Did you like her?
C: Yeah! Coz I'd had the opportunity to meet her before,
but I didn't coz I thought I may be disappointed. You know
when you like someone for as long time and you meet them
and they aren't as nice as you thought?
S: Yeah I've had that happen before. Are you a big fan of
hers?
C: Not so much her music now. When I was younger I used
to put the cd on and try and hit that note.
S: I loved "Hero"
C: Yeah! I took inspiration from her, but her song writing
is too nice for me! I do appreciate she has a wicked voice
though!
C: I'm doing a radio show with Tara Palmer Tompkinson on
Friday!!
S: Are ya?
C: Yeah, she has been so nice to me!
S; You've been to a lot of Showbiz "do's" then?
C: I went to the Britney Spears party!
S: I saw a picture of that!
C: Yeh that was funny! Holly Valance, Busted, Liz from Atomic
Kitten, Myleene, they were all lovely to me!
S: How was the Grays Shopping centre talent contest?
C: (laughs) It was strange! It was good fun! I was hung
over from the Mariah party!!
S: Someone sent me some pictures of you at Grays!
C: Can you not tell I was hung-over?
S: No you didn't look it!
C: Yeaah I was! (laughs)
C: Will you tell everyone on the site that I have looked
at their pictures?
S: Oh on that post on the msg board?
C: Yeah
S: What did you think of them?
C: I thought they all looked good!
(Chat for a while about the board)
S: Got any tv shows coming up soon?
C: I'm doing Liquid News, not sure when that is though!
C: Anything else people have been asking? Oh and yes I
have my belly button pierced!
S: haha you saw that then?
C: (laughs) Yeah!
C: Oh I'm going to Sweden for about 10 days!
S: When you going?
C: End of this month I think.
S: Where you going to America as well?
C: I'm going to Nashville for a couple of weeks
S: Have you been before?
C: No, I've been to Sweden though. I'm going to Nashville
coz there are some really good writers out there for the
kind of stuff I do.
C: I'm going to See Christina Aguilera on the 11th!
S: oh, what at Wembley?
C: Nope, at Manchester
S: Are you going to the Shania tour?
C: Not sure yet, might be going to the one at Wembley.
S: You found out about the Clapham gig in the end then?
C: Yeah! The 22nd. I've got a few gigs coming up with Peter
in December. Just me and him!
S: really? You'll have to let me know when they are!
C: yeah I will do!
S: I 'm going to go along to the Clapham one.
C: Yeah?
S: But it's aimed at under 18's
C: (laughs) Well I'm the only girl doing it! I'll probably
get booed off!
S: No you wont!! There's quite of us from the msg board
going to see you!
C: Is there? Cool!! That will be good.C: Can you tell everyone
who was going to go to Leeds that I'm realllly sorry! It's
unfair they decided to move the date!
S: Yeah Hamleys was going to be on Sunday wasn't it?
C: Yeah. Oh, what did I read that I thought "oh these
guys are crazy" (laughs)
S: There are a few posts like that (laughs)
C: Just let them know I'm aware of the posts and do look
at them all.
S: I will do!
C: Oh I saw that picture someone drew! That was really good!
There's lots of good stuff on there! Say thanks to them!
S: Does it seem weird everyone talking about you?
C: Urm, yeah but I'm getting used to it now. After being
in the academy and people watching you 24/7 it doesn't seem
as weird having people talking about you! (laughs)
S: The Fame Academy DVD is out today!
C: Is it?? (laughs)
S: Yeah! You are on quite a bit of it!
C: Am I? Oh god! Me and Peter kissing is bound to be on
it! (laughs) oh dear!
Well I think that's all that I'm allowed to type up for
now! Lol.
Hope you enjoyed reading it!
