Darius Danesh booted off Popstars with "how much love is there in this room" speech

[@kmorris4730]

RIP Darius. Everyone laughed at him at the time but he went and did it.

[@nicolakirton2252]

Not many people set very public targets for themselves. Muhammad Ali did it all the time, and now Darius Danesh has done it also. RIP Darius, a true legend.

[@andreadoolan416]

His audition was ridiculous, that's why people were laughing at him and he came across cocky but yes he went on to make records and show that he could sing and was not how he'd portrayed himself at the above audition.

[@booopwappp1323]

And you know what, he did get a platinum disk for his album in 2002 “Dive In” RIP Darius

[@karenlnsy]

Sing with the angels now. RIP Darius.

[@anonymous-ut8sc]

He was considered such a cringelord at the time but now everybody speaks like him. "I can feel so much energy from you guys" - somewhere in the 2010s people started unironically talking like this.

[@DCI-Frank-Burnside]

Oh Christ! You're right, we're all Darius now. Pass the revolver.

The original Shadow the Hedgehog

[@dowogenesthedog7186]

Darius will always be cringey awful shite.

[@TottenhamHotspur1882]

Heaven has gained a new Angel

[@metafis]

Aww..why cut the bit where he tells the judges he WILL have a number one single and platinum record. Nigel refers to it later..but it was the best part of his rejection interview..because it actually came true.

[@mgdm1124]

Goodnight Darius 🥀😔

[@nicolakirton2252]

Darius knew what he was doing with this legendary audition - he got everyone talking about him, and I do not mean he did this in a cynical manner, very far from it. I love his reaction to having failed that audition, when he returned to the dressing room towards the others who had not been succssful on this occasion, when he wanted to give them all love and a huge hug of support.. That was an incredibly mature response,, and one you cannot help but love and admire him for it. It is not only his huge talent that the world will miss, but also his attitude of love for his fellow human beings, at a time when the world needs someone like Darius to give the world love. RIP Darius, you are a true legend for both your talent and love for others.

[@ellieoroarty4246]

I laughed at when Nigel said that it over egged the cake but really Darius should have sang baby one more time properly!

[@mattjwardmusic88]

[@ellieoroarty4246]

Instead of clicking his fingers lol!

[@SeahorsesJay]

A master troll.

[@ThisLeprechaunWrites]

"It's just not my time" - For goodness sake, he's announcing it like it's his rejection for a desperately needed heart on the heart transplantation list and they're all reacting like it is with that amount of melodrama. This was the start of this karaoke shit-show of an industry the world has now that just slaps the word 'music' on it, when it's got little (if anything) to do with it, not to mention birthing a generation of narcissists.

[@arthursteven5601]

I agree.... i cant be assed watching any of these type of shows now..... darius like joey essex type got famous really doing nothing

[@dariuspopidol7305]
