He definitely has some stripper moves. Watch clips of him dancing. I’m excited about tonight. I’ve seen some song spoilers, but not matched up to names. I’ll post them anyway. 1-Everytime you go away 2-what about love 3-tainted love (all but confirmed to be Danny Noriega’s choice) 4-the greatest love of all 5-father figure 6-open arms (Archuleta was rumored to be doing Journey so very likely his choice) 7-rebel yell 8-the rose 9-bette davis eyes 10-celebration 11-call me 12- always something there to remind me 13-whats love got to do with it 14-hurts so good 15-we built this city 16-every breath you take ---

Will Danny be doing the original R&B version of the song or the Fierce version. No, no need to answer. And I’m sure it won’t have the second part-- that’s a different song and would make it too long. ---

Is it me or does this year have a really high Fabulousness Factor? There’s Gay Danny and now David H. stips for guys. This may or may not make him gay but it sure raises his Fabulous Quotient. And then there’s David A. Come on David A, speak up and be proud! ---

[/QUOTE] According to the internet…SPOILER… [http://dannynoriega.imeem.com](http://dannynoriega.imeem.com), Danny’s imeem account has been accurate for song choices for the past two weeks. If you look on the mid-left side you’ll see he has been listening to Tainted Love by two different artists. It is entirely internet hearsay and I don’t remember if I got the link from the Television Without Pity Forums or elsewhere. ---

I luuurve the '80s version of #3 (along with it’s companion song) you could have a house party jumping to it for a half an hour. Couple it with Rock Lobster and you could have all the people who did speed balls die right there on the dance floor. Seriously, I love that song. Oh and-- is AI saying anything about David Hernandez? If Frenchie could get booted for lingerie, surely there is grumbling about a stripper, no? ---
