Ode to Arianne

Since last Tuesday's episode of DWTS, Arianne Caoili has once again found herself embroiled in controversy. Australia's chess starlet can at least be happy that most viewers of the Channel 7 program appear to be firmly behind her. One such viewer, a fan of Arianne's, has even taken the time to pen this ode to our fave dancer.

Ode to Arianne and Carmello
Sung to tune of "Dancing Queen" by Ulvaeus/Andersen)
by "Allison"

You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, diggin’ the dancing queen

Tuesday night and the lights are low
You’re on a very high rating show
Listen now to the music, getting in the swing
You’re gonna get a bollocking.

Watch out for Todd, that moody guy
With criticism he’s never shy.
With a bit of Chong’s music, everything is fine
Youre in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...

You are the dancing queen, young and sweet, only ni-ineteen
Dancing queen, feel the hate from that old has-been, oh yeah
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, Todd’s not diggin’ the dancing queen

He’s a teacher, or so he said
Pity most of his students are probably dead.
Looking out to annoy you, any taunt will do
He say’s you’ve secretly trained at dance
You salsa at every chance…

You are the dancing queen, young and sweet, only ni-ineteen
Dancing queen, feel the hate from that old has-been, oh yeah.
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, Todd’s not diggin’ the dancing queen

Well OK, it's kind of cheesy. But since I'm off away from blogging for a couple of weeks, I just thought I'd take the plunge.

In the mean time, Caoili has come out swinging in today's Sunday papers. The Herald Sun quotes her as saying, "I don't feel guilty and I've done nothing wrong".

She also denies having studied ballet at the prestigious Academy of London. The London connection seems to have first popped up in this story by the Courier Mail last week. I have to admit that this story was pretty hard to accept. We have unconfirmed information that Arianne's ballet training was basically for 30 minutes, once a week, given by a dance teacher who had "RAD" qualifications. RAD is the Royal Academy of London. So it seems that someone either mispoke or misquoted!

Annette Caoili, Arianne's mother, says: "She was just a six-year-old with no teeth doing ballet after school and then we were living in a suitcase travelling the international chess circuit for the next eight years."

In reference to the comments over the past months re Arianne and her mum, maybe now everyone can back off having a go at Arianne's mum.

I know her personally and you have no idea what work she does for her daughter, and has never displayed proud, or big noting comments re her daughters acheivements.

She's very humble infact, and she's been Arianne's manager all these years + mum. As her manager she is only doing her job.

Seems to me a very excellent job indeed, she got Arianne on DWTS. Maybe you guys should hire her, she may find-give you a better life too.!!

Can't you guys see thru media hype, lies, twisted journo crap, to sell what they want.

For heaven's sake, maybe you all need to get off the chessboard for a while, and take a look at the real world, especially in show bizz, T.V and their one aim, RATINGS.!

Shame you often bag her, when your knowledge of the subject is mostly zero!

If Arianne or her mum, are not interesting to you, or not liked, then don't follow the comments on her, DWTS.

Stay on the chessboard, and stick to what you think you may, or may not know.!!!!
