I cannnot be the only one watching?

That last top note Lauren sang was truly painful she just shouts. Do ya think it sounds a lot different in the studio? Because all the judges seem to think she is great

I think it's the right result too - but I'm in your camp Maureen, that bloody song makes me cry every single time

MaureenMLove · 22/05/2010 20:09

It's not over yet either, is it? It will be sung again later!

orienteerer · 22/05/2010 20:12

I actually think Lauren is (was) the best singer....maybe my ears are out of tune.....

ShadeofViolet · 22/05/2010 20:12

Am I the only one that likes Lauren? U really wanted her to win.

pinkteddy · 22/05/2010 20:24

Lauren had the best voice by far. Want Danielle to win though but think Sophie might.

wubblybubbly · 22/05/2010 20:26

Lauren is usually good but she was trying far too hard. Besides, she's not right for Dorothy.

I'm rooting for Sophie. I think I have a crush on her.

MrsShrekTheThird · 22/05/2010 20:37

I think Lauren overdid it from square one. Loads of roles she'd be fab in, and his Lordship's quite obviously going to make sure she gets them. She'd be a a stunner in Chicago, But no way was she a Dorothy. Which is the point.

MrsShrekTheThird · 22/05/2010 20:38

btw, her tuning is shocking, particularly at the top of her range.

CJCregg · 22/05/2010 20:40

Wubbly, I have a crush on Sophie as well. Most peculiar. She is, after all, a teenage girl and I am a mature woman.

Love her hair, her big smile, think she's just stunning. I worried for her earlier in the series when she didn't seem to be up to it. So glad she's got better.

I think I need counselling ...

CJCregg · 22/05/2010 20:41

Agree that Lauren, while very good, was always trying too hard and gave quite knowing, self-conscious performances. Whereas both Danielle and Sophie feel more genuine and a bit more innocent.

Sophie is so gorgeous like a 1940s film star, I've not been able to take my eyes off her since the first episode

She has a lovely singing voice too, the only thing she lacks is a little confidence(and isn't that endearing)I'm sure winning this will be the boost she needs

Lauren was the most professional but the role of Dorothy called for more innocence and naivety- my favourite was the scouser steph who had this in droves, however she was a little immature to take a lead role - how do you get innocence yet not immature?! Tricky. I hope Danielle gets it.

MrsShrekTheThird · 22/05/2010 20:57

here we go!!

satc2bringiton · 22/05/2010 21:00

Want danielle to win but would be happy for Sophie too.

Will be taking the kids to see this for sure

wubblybubbly · 22/05/2010 21:10

Ahh, she's just so lovely our Sophie.

Danielle has the edges over her on acting but for sheer star quality I think Sophie would be a brilliant Dorothy. She just shines.

lou031205 · 22/05/2010 21:10

They both did great

MrsShrekTheThird · 22/05/2010 21:10

oooh. preferred Danielle.

Sophie's American accent had a bit too much of a Welsh accent for me

satc2bringiton · 22/05/2010 21:12

I'm proper blubbing now!

Come on put me out of misery- am away so can't see it on tv

MrsShrekTheThird · 22/05/2010 21:15

fgs, why did they have to do it twice

EvaBrick · 22/05/2010 21:17

Does anyone know when this will be on in the West End? I heard it won't be til next year.

belledechocolatefluffybunny · 22/05/2010 21:17

He's not looking impressed with her is he

Bumpinthenight · 22/05/2010 21:19

He never looks impressed with anyone though!

belledechocolatefluffybunny · 22/05/2010 21:20

Bad choice of song for someone who wants to be Dorothy...hey mambo... not a wise choice for an innocent child.
