i hope tomorrow they give her back up singers so shes not alone on the stage, if she does start crying tomorrow she shouldnt get another chance

Oh god, greg totally knows he didn't stand a chance if he was against holly. He looks a bit unimpressed with the whole thing!

I doubt it's the money though expat. More likely that mother is living out her own unfulfilled ambitions. I've seen it a few times and it's not pretty.

I don't think she is a crap singer- she's a completely coached singer. There was no spontanaity and her reaction when it wasn't going like clockwork was what most kiddies reactions would be. She could not cope with the pressure and folded.

dd1 is off to birmingham soon for a big choir event, music for yoputh i think.

am v v proud of her and the whole choir, they are very good.

I think she was brave- to come back on in front of all those people, knowing everyone you know is watching you, some of them school bullies willing you to fail...not knowing if you'll cock up again...

Bloody brave in my book.

i though the judges would see snese and not put her through, as she would fold tomorrow.

ah well

ukfamily.co.uk/lifestyle/news/2009-4/general/holly-steel-cowell.html

apparently she's been bullied at school...well, the mum's really helped with that by pushing her into tonight's little performance, hasn't she

violethill · 29/05/2009 22:14

Ooh dyou think we'll get a mention on the news too!

Hopefully · 29/05/2009 22:16

She certainly showed some guts by coming back on and performing (whether or not she was coached or whatever), but surely the judges/her mother should have seen sense and stopped her going through to the final. It shouldn't matter how brave she was being, it's still (surely?) not in her interests to go through. Pah, am all jaded and cynical about the whole thing now, feel they've totally done it for publicity, because she clearly isn't the best person to potentially be performing at royal variety.

FabulousBakerGirl · 29/05/2009 22:16

Greg was very gracious.

Hollie has been ruined. Her mother annoys me almost as much as mine and that is a bloody lot.

OMG after reading that link she sounds even more revolting. The entire thing is a sob story to get the sympathy vote.
Wrong wrong wrong

ilovemydogandmrobama · 29/05/2009 22:17

Anyone notice that it was Hollie's mother who immediately asked for her to start again.

Good point re: no tears crying . My 15 month old does the same thing, but usually stops when he gets picked up...

Just watched the preview of the News at 10 item. Yes, she's a shit singer, yes she had stage fright... but that's also just bloody spoilt brat syndrome.

I want a pony and I want to win BGT (stamps foot and turns on tears)

expatinscotland · 29/05/2009 22:19

She's a little girl.

Many of us are parents of little girls.

Let's spare our wrath or vitriol for the adults, please.

FabulousBakerGirl · 29/05/2009 22:19

yep, ilmdamo.

and it seemed that she sai dshe didn't want to and her mum was pushing it.
