Diversity

[emmer150]

Went to see the Soul tour yesterday, I was a bit underwhelmed. Has anyone else been?

Me. I went to sheffield, the first time ive seen them after wanting to for years. I loved the story and theme of the show but did feel underwhelmed with the dancing, there was quite a lot of new faces i didnt know.
They were really good dont get me wrong but feel the show n performances were probably better years ago

Because we called them out on here. Crazed cow Danni aka momager from hell most probably told them to post. Naomi not liking Starrs stuff. AND I am pretty sure very soon Shante will show up in a TikTok. They are all so dumb and stupid.

Yeah, because when you think about it the other members are just pushed to the side even since the beginning when they won BGT, the only members that were popular were Ashley and Perri.

Perri especially before he hit adulthood because of his looks - having the glasses, the big Afro, and the exceptionally small height for his age. Even nearly 20 years later, people still hold onto that image of Perri.

Although there was a little bit, I never saw any sort of hype for Mitch despite the fact that he was the same age as Perri when they won diversity and equally as small and cute.

I wonder what happened to Theo the little boy who was basically a replacement for Perri when Perri grew up ( although Perri remained in the group ). His mum also chaperoned and did wardrobe. Theo had multiple food allergies although we looked after him well. I always got bad vibes from Christine ( Perri amd Starr’s mum ) she thought she was something.

I think KISS were mental to let them both go with the amount of listeners and buzz they generated online.

You don't just keep on two presenters for five and a half years if they're not bringing in money.

I can't think of why they would be let go given their popularity - maybe because they started their own podcast with Ashley and felt it was a conflict of interest?

Naomi has confirmed Jordan isn't on tour as he has a few commitments that would take him away for 3-4 weeks at a time. He is happy to have built a career around the Banjo and Diversity name but now bails out when it doesn't suit him. I really can't imagine it brings a huge amount of money to the dancers.

The same with Starr. I know she was dancing for years before DV but she was a nobody until she joined Diversity during the pandemic. Now she’s gone into influencing and modelling and her own dance workshops, she’s also jumped ship.

Has she quit DV altogether?

 

[avb00]

Starr seems to have grown quite substantially as an influencer and travelling to various events so I imagine what she earns there is way better than the tour. Geo wasn’t part of the last one either so imagine between the studio and that she she decided not too again.

Yeah, I was quite surprise by the amount who are not in it - Starr, Geo, Jordan, Nathan, Jess. Despite being on the promotional covers. It’s hardly worth seeing. If Perri doesn’t take part in the next tour, they’ll be in trouble.

Definitely seems Starr and Jordan are pulling away from DV entirely. Quite a few people in the comments are asking where is Jordan and Starr so there are people who were disappointed and not only there for Perri and Ash.

That’s what I thought it was - they’ll be renting spaces to do pop up dance studios. So while they said it’s not a tour, it must operate similarly as people will need to book a ticket/pay for a session once they confirm locations.

Has anyone else seen the comments on Ashley's pictures recently. Definately one of us on here doing it because it mentions us!

Now, don't get me wrong you know already I think it is a terrible look if he is seeing Starr and has a diehard Fran fan I don't really care about them leaving comments, but more about them tagging Fran. Fran deserves a rest in my opinion. YES she needs to divorce him ASAP, but I just ask whoever is commenting to just leave her out of it. I am sure she knows how evil he is but walking way after 20 years is hard!!!

Oh my goodness. What ridiculous comments to leave on a public post. What post is this on? Has he removed the comments?

 

[avb00]

You’d think Starr would be mad to be in it if Najah is there since she’d get to spend time with her. But yeah she seems to be working with pretty big brands.

 

[Mythoughts]

I think shante and najah are in it

 

[avb00]

I wonder if they’ve seen them getting bigger profiles online and made them choose?

Is Georgia still part of DV? It’s obvious Starr left a year ago as well. She commented to Nathan “so proud of us both on this journey together”

I wonder will DV wrap us this year. No Nathan, Starr, Jordan, etc

 

[avb00]

It was me that first posted here about Kirsty - a friend worked on the 2022 panto they were both in. It’s 100% true.

Wonder has she met the kids yet

 

[JBinstafun]

Hadn’t Mitch just had a baby?

 

[Mythoughts]

All three clips I've seen of the tour seem to be of the same dance/song
Does anyone know if the audience is told this?

 

[Mythoughts]

I saw some stories about there being a team meeting, looks like jess wasn't there - which was good!

 

[rebelgirl]

YES! I am not sure what thread, but they were described as being all over eachother at a cinema

 

[Ls6901]

Is that not the other sister?

No it’s her they just look VERY similar! X

 

[JessikaJai]

Crikey! So what's happening with the show?!

Star is now doing her role.

 

[Late to the party]

Curiouser and curiouser. She’s posted today as she played Truly. No bump, looks very slim.

Incredibly slim. I can only guess she isn't pregnant.

Hello, sorry for the notification. Just wondering if any more updates about Kirsty and her bump? I don’t follow her but she must be due soon as said above. I also noticed no IG post by Ashley for Micah’s birthday. He’s always seemed to favor Rose.

Definitely doesn't seem as interested in Micah. And he seems such a lovely little fella. The kids will work out who was actually there for them as they get older I'm sure.

 

[Mythoughts]

So they are opening up studios all over the country and classes are going to be taught by diversity members. How will that work for the further away studios? Are people going to move to Birmingham, Manchester, torquay etc etc or will they all end up London based
