DS Factor - Episode 7

After they had shown painted nails best bits, Ted said “Next week on the DS Factor, it will be harder for the singers as they will be singing two songs each” Ozzy, Levi and D4 looked at each other in astonishment. Ted continued “So don’t miss next weeks DS Factor, this is Ted signing off - goodnight” The end titles came up and Ted wobbled off stage - he was still wearing his platform boots.





Then they all went to their dressing rooms, Knasher collected them and took them to their cars and they went back to their mansion where Zoe was waiting for them, but instead of handing out schedules, she gave Levi, Ozzy and D4, apologising to painted nails as she handed them their interview schedule.







Then she said to the others “Go-on open them” so they did and Little Mo and Molly let out a shriek of excitement, Trevor as Buster asked “What is it then” Little Mo said excitedly “We have been formally invited to the film premier of Earth dogs don’t speak” Then Little Mo and Molly held paws and began jumping up and down and let out another shriek and then looked at one another and said in unison “We have got nothing to wear aright” Zoe laughed “calm down you two, don’t worry I have persuaded Jenny to pay for all your outfits - Toney will sort everything” Zoe cheekily thought - persuaded Jenny it was like getting blood out of a stone - but the twisting of Jennys paw sealed the deal hehe, Then she continued “D4 you will go shopping with Toney tomorrow and Knasher will be going with you, Ozzy and Levi, I got someone else for you and yes you will have a bodyguard - Knashers brother Fang - so you will be safe - so off to bed everyone you have an early start tomorrow”


So off to bed they all went but Little Mo and Molly couldn’t sleep, they were chatting for ages about what they would buy and rubbing shoulders with the stars.



It felt like the girls had just fallen asleep when the phone rang - it was Zoe with their wake up call - they quickly got up and got their selves ready, and went down stairs to the waiting limo, they got in and Toney and Knasher were waiting. Little Mo shouted “Toney” and jumped over Knasher to give Toney a big cuddle. Buster said “Ahhhhh a Kodak moment” Knasher said “No cuddling whilst we are out shopping” Little Mo protested “But we are in the car” and then she gave Toney a big kiss. Trevor said “Open the window - I need some air”



Little Mo asked Toney “Will you be coming to the premier” “No, we have to keep our romance a secret” Knasher said “Yes he is right, if the press get hold of it - I can just imagine the front pages - Ds Factor fix - Are D4 getting the best clothes to get them through - you are a fantastic band but the press just look for scandal to sell their papers. The limo took them to Harrods - D4 couldn’t wait to get in the store - the girls almost flew out of the car, dragging the boys behind them, they tried almost every out fit from every department, Buster groaned and said “I can understand why dad moans when he has to go clothes shopping with mum hehehehe” Molly went up to Knasher and held up a dress and said “Hehe I think this would really suit you hehe” Knasher laughed “No it wouldn’t - it doesn’t go with the colour of my eyes heehee” They all laughed.






Toney got the girls their dresses and the boys their suits and they went back to the limo, Trevor said “Thank goodness for that - my paws are aching, once in the car they asked what the time was, Knasher told them it was 3pm, Molly looked at Little Mo and said “We only have 5hrs to get ready” they said in unison “Driver step on it”/




They got back to the mansion , little Mo gave Toney a kiss and ran in and they all got ready, then the limo was back and D4, Ozzy and Levi got in and they went off to the premier, when they got there, Knasher was already there, he opened the door for them, and as they got out there was so many camera flashes they could not see where they were going. Knasher said “Follow me” there were reporters everywhere shouting D4




Knasher guided them to the reporters, one of them said “I am Billi-B from the currant bun, is it true that D4 are the favourites to win?” Trevor said “I wish it were true but Levi and Ozzy are excellent singers and no one knows who will win” Billi-B asked “Is it true that Ted stands on a box to present the show?” Buster giggled and said “I can’t tell you that hehe” Billi-B asked “What do you think about attending the premier of Earth Dogs Don’t Speak?” Molly replied “We hear it is a excellent film and can’t wait to see it” Little Mo said “The DS Factor is like a dream come true - I don’t want it to end - we love it” Then Knasher guided them away to the film.


Once they were back at the mansion, they were all talking about the film and seeing the stars, Trevor said “Bed time - we have a hard week remember, two songs” they all agreed and went to bed, Zoe woke them the next morning, they got their selves ready and jumped in the waiting limo, and went to the studios, when they got there, Jenny was there - she was talking to Shadow with her paws on her hips, as D4 entered the room, they heard Jenny say “You will sing and come out of retirement, you have gold discs Shadow, I cannot see why you retired!” Shadow sighed and said “Ok ok ok I will sing” “Good” replied Jenny then she left the room smiling at D4 as she flounced past them. D4 started to giggle as they see Shadow poke her tongue out at Jenny.



Then Shadow turned to D4 and said “Good morning, right lets warm up those voices, ready after me LALALALALALA” D4 did the same, Shadow said “Right now the long note “MEMEMEEEEEEEEEEEEMEME, excellent, now your first song this week is your audition piece, the judges want to see how far you have come” Little Mo said “Oh no I’ve got to wear those side burns again and they really itch” Buster laughed. Shadow said “ready 1,2,3”and they sang. Shadow said “Very good, now for your second song” Molly said “ I rang mum yesterday and she said this is her favourite song” handing Shadow a piece of paper, Shadow went to her key board and went through her song sheets and said “I have got it” and she gave D4 a song sheet each and said “Ready 1,2,3,4, that’s good well done, that’s all for today, Little Mo can you stay behind and the rest of you can go.



Little Mo looked really worried once the others had gone, then Toney came in and Shadow said “Good you are here, what we are about to do is a secret, and we can only do it if you get through to the final, do not say anything” They both agreed not to say anything.




The week flew past, then Ted was saying “It’s Saturday night and it is mums choice on the DS Factor” Then the theme tune started and then it was back to Ted “The contestants will sing their first audition song and their second song is their mums choice, the judges will not comment on the performances until the acts have sung their second song and speaking of the judges here they are” Jenny, Zahli, Zeea and Luke came out to the cheers of the audience and took there seats.



Ted said “Lets start this semi final off, first on tonight is D4 singing the song from their audition The Flying Pickets - Only You, the music started and they sang their song, the audience clapped, screamed and cheered.



Ted said “Next with his audition piece Summer of 69 by Bryan Adams - it’s Ozzy” Ozzy came out and sang his song, again the audience were screaming, clapping and cheering. Ted said “




Next we have Levi her audition song is Shout by Lulu” Levi sang her song and the audience were screaming clapping and screaming.


Ted said “Now for mums choice, here are D4 singing Hanging on the Telephone” D4 took their place on stage and began to sing …….

“I'm in the phone booth, it's the one across the hall
If you don't answer, I'll just ring it off the wall
I know he's there, but I just had to call
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
I heard your mother now she's going out the door
Did she go to work or just go to the store
All those things she said, I told you to ignore
Oh why can't we talk again
Oh why can't we talk again
Oh why can't we talk again
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
It's good to hear your voice, you know it's been so long
If I don't get your call then everything goes wrong
I want to tell you something you've known all along
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone."

After they had sang, Ted said “Judges over to you” Luke said “Brilliant, you have really come along since the first audition, well done, the second song was brilliant too” Zeea said “Loved both songs - fantastic” Zahli said “Another beauty bottler mates - awesome” Jenny said “Loved both performances - Luke is right, two words loved it”


Ted said “Thank you judges now we have Ozzy singing Dreamer by Ozzy Osbourne”
Ozzy took his place on stage and began to sing……

“Gazing through the window at the world outside
Wondering if mother earth will survive
Hoping that mankind will stop abusing her, sometime
After all theres just the two of us
And here we are still fighting for our lives
Watching all of history repeat itself, time after time
Im just a dreamer, I dream my life away
Im just a dreamer, who dreams of better days
I watch the sun go down like everyone of us
Im hoping that the dawn will bring a sign
A better place for those who will come after us this time
Im just a dreamer, I dream my life away, oh yeah
Im just a dreamer, who dreams of better days
Your higher power may be God or jesus christ
It doesnt really matter much to me
Without each others help there aint no hope for us
Im living in a dream, a fantasy
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah."

After he had sang Ted said “Judges what did you think” Zahli said “Strewth, that knocked my socks off!” Zeea said “you were born to rock” Jenny said “You have improved a 1000% since the first audition, well done” Luke said “I agree with Jenny, excellent well done”


Ted said “Now finally we have Levi singing Love of the common people by Paul Young”
Levi stood on stage and began to sing

“It's a good thing you don't have a busfare,
it would fall thru' the hole in your pocket and you'd lose it
in the snow on the ground.
You got to walk into town to find a job.
Tryin' to keep your hands warm
when the hole in your shoe
lets the snow come thru'
and chills you to the bone.
Now you'd better go home where it's warm,
where you can live in a love of the common people,
smile from the heart of a family man.
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can
and she can."

Ted said “let‘s see what the judges think of that”
Luke “That was excellent, well done” Zeea said “Wonderful pet, all of you have been so god I have spent the whole night in tears” Zahli said “Awesome absolutely awesome” Jenny said “Levi - I …..loved it”









After the ad break Ted was on stage and said “ It was the closest vote ever there is only a few votes separating the acts, the votes have been counted and verified, can I have complete silence please” D4, Levi and Ozzy were standing on stage looking really nervous. Ted continued “In no particular order the first act going through to the final of DS Factor is ……………………Levi” Levi began to cry with delight. Ted continued the final act going through to the final is ……………………D4, congratulations to Levi and D4 they are your DS Factor finalists” D4 were jumping up and down hugging each other. Ted continued “I am sorry Ozzy your dream ends here and here are your best bits” After they had shown Ozzys best bits Ted said “Don’t forget to tune in to the final of the DS Factor next and we will be revealing the two best kept DS Factor secrets - so I will see you next Saturday, this is Ted signing off and good night, the end titles went up
