Comic Relief Fame Academy

[Hulababy]

Anyone watching. First time I have seen it.

DH has just asked who Dawn is? Anyone?

Am I the only one who didn't know that you couldn't vote by phone tonight?

I think that was a really silly idea, both editorially and financially.

They should have kept it in Fame Academy too, as the sound on Edith was awful.

Anyone know when it's on? TIA

Carla..
the first bit has been on.. and it is Edith and Kim in the final...
but for some perculiar reason the public can't vote tonight... only donate money.

Please enlighten me anyone who knows why this decision was made...
I think it was mad!

Not sure. After the news I think??? Edith and Kim are through.

*the final is coming up shortly**

So, who is making the choices of who stays and goes?

The reason for no phone votes is on their website:

And it's your votes which are raising the money but in a slight change to the proceedings tonight, phone voting will close at 7pm, which is before the grand final itself goes out as part of Red Nose Day 2005.

The reason for this is that, once Comic Relief begins at 7pm, all phone lines will be needed for donations. So it's vital that you place your votes before 7pm - click here if you need a reminder of the numbers.

Text voting will be available for a short while during the show, but don't miss out on voting for your favourite student and making a fantastic contribution to Comic Relief.

What are you waiting for - pick up that phone!

Surely they could have had different/ or more lines??

I think this is a really bad decision.

It's on now. Text voting is still open...

in hindsight- it probably should have been a stand alone programme...
would have raised more money that way.

absolutely stonking performance just then from Kim..

Loved Edith + thought she would win.. but that last song really showed Kim's brilliance.

Agree. Edith has made fantastic improvements over the series, but Kim can really sing.

Kim has to win. She is fantastic. I have loved her from the start.

Thanks guys. Have to agree with Hula - how do they decide who wins, then? Kim has the better voice but I like Edith a whole lot more.

Kim is stage school trained and therefore had a hHUGE advantage of Edith

VOTE EDITH VOTE EDITH

well I can't vote for anyone my mobile has died..

Thus my re the stupid decision not to allow phone votes tonight.

Have all the performances finished now then?

Dont tell me I have missed it all!

the result is after the news I think..

Edith

I really thought Kim had done it.

Wow Edith...am well pleased.

Kim no doubt will be lined up for a role in 'Chicago' now...
Wonder what Edith will do?

A shame that it was all rushed through so quickly...she should have done a winning song etc?

I don't reckon they knew how popular it was going to be.

Can't believe trog face won
