I've found two Emilie voters and they voted around 100 votes each last night, they have voted for every week.
1- they feel she looks like Dorothy ie young
2- ALW doesn't want her (they were Jodie voters last time)
3- ALW says she won't be able to do 8 shows a week, well Connie Fisher couldn't when faced with it and many leading ladies don't do all 8 shows a week anyway and those that do only have short contracts.
4- they love MT and are fed up with some of the leading ladies that have been foisted on them because they are celebs.
5- ALW sits there like a letch
I don't vote not since ADWD but I think my two friends may be a few of many.
:eek: Do people really vote that many times? Oh my word, I thought I'd gotten a bit carried away when I voted for Will Young five times :eek:
What upsets me about the Emilie situation is that much better singers like Tegan and Camille were overlooked by the public for the wildcard thing. That is just my opinion, of course, but I thought Camille, in particular, was outstanding.
Emilie has a sparkle about her but she can't sing, or certainly not well enough to front a show. She has no power in her voice at all.

Yes they do I sat and watched them do it. Number is on redial so they just press a button. I on the other hand drank some more wine and really wished I'd gone to the pictures with my other half.
I wasn't too surprised that Emilie was the wildcard choice - I though she had the right look for Dorothy and was happy to see her give it a shot.
Well she's had her shot at it but imo she just doesn't have what it takes. I'll be disappointed if she's still there in a couple of weeks because I really don't think she's capable of playing Dorothy.
The way the song was choreographed reminded me of Lee Mead singing 'I don't want to talk about it' in ADWD, as he had to sing it to a random young woman. But he did a brilliant job of engaging with her, so it was convincing. Emilie could have actually looked at the guy she was supposed to be singing to. It was, for me, utterly unconvincing as an acting performance and although this week she managed to sing in tune, it was still vocally weak.
I'm sure she's a lovely girl and all that (although she showed a huge lack of self-awareness in not understanding the criticisms from the judges) but I have to say I just don't understand why people are voting for her.
I agree. In fact, I commented that Emilie had Lee's choreography:D! However, the difference (apart from the song) was that Lee was streets ahead, acting-wise, and was able to really engage with his 'Josephine' and act with her. Emilie seemed out of her depth.
Myself and my daughter thought Emilie was the best last night. It was a beautiful rendition of Moon River and I felt the judges comments were very harsh. Hope she stays as she has never come across as arrogant in our eyes.
Jees all this critism and nastiness is out of order .
She is just a young kid, leave her alone FGS .
It's this kind of thinking that has kept her in the competition.
People feel sorry for her cos the panel made her cry.
But everything they said was true & yet she gets to stay in cos the pubic feel sorry for her.
I do however find her clearly the weakest, especially voice wise, and can only assume she's getting a boost in sympathy voting. Which is a pity when a show like this really should reward talent.

True!
How about poor Dani?
She is a young talented girl who could have gone further in the contest, but she was knocked out by someone less talented by her!

She gets to stay in because the public vote - and the reasons are no doubt many and varied.
Many who feel free to discuss her performance in the most derisive manner don't even bother voting - which is why they find their own favourites in the bottom 2.
They know what they can do if they want to change the situation - put their money where their mouth is. If they choose not to do so, they must live with the result.
I wouldn't be surprised if Emelie was getting the most votes at the moment ..... but as each girl gets knocked out a lot of their fans are going to transfer to someone else ...... doubt it will be Emelie.

If I could vote for who I wanted out for who rather than who I wanted in I would have voted for Emilie but alas we can only vote for who we want to stay in.
Despite voting for who I thought was the strongest my vote did not put Emilie in the bottom two where I thought she belonged.
Gappy is by a good distance the worst singer on the show. IMO she should be got rif of ASAP, she comes over as arrogant and dislikeable in VT too. Anyone but her to win.
This could be the end of these shows if emilie continues to stay in. What if she won it? It would make a mockery of the whole thing and they wouldn't be able to do any more.
Fair enough ALW didn't want Jodie to be Nancy last year, but she was still really talented. Emilie is not even very good... ALW was quite right to say what he said last night.

I'm starting to not enjoy the show anymore because all my faves keep going. Even if they weren't my favourite, ANYONE is better than her!!
:eek: Do people really vote that many times? Oh my word, I thought I'd gotten a bit carried away when I voted for Will Young five times :eek:
I'd take it with a pinch of salt, the phone lines are only open for a very short time. Everybody has redial and it still takes a good few attempts to get one vote registered, nevermind 100! I remember during the last SCD taking 10 minutes to get 2 votes in.

Camille would have been my pick if I had been voting. I agree with the rest of your post too.
I wonder if Emilie is running away with the public vote, hence the rather OTT criticism this weekend when actually she gave her best performance so far.
The public were already emotionally engaged with her by the first knock-out show, having voted her into it. So, a shaky performance in the first week can be put down to the turmoil of the week. Maybe in Week 2 she's still finding her feet (although The Boy Does Nothing is probably the worst performance I have ever seen on one of these shows) and then this week there was a slight improvement, although she was still terribly flat in places.
I don't imagine she'll win but what if she IS running away with it? I don't think she'd cope with the part to the West End standard - I think even she knows that judging by her acknowledgement in the results show that she needs to train. Could be the end of these shows.
As for the arrogance, she's young, she was voted in by the public and now they're not voting her out. I guess it's understandable that this might go to your head a bit. I think she probably doesn't think before speaking rather than really thinking she's God's gift.

Ooh yes, she does like a slimmed down Joan. Good spot.
Ah! see want you mean.Like Danielle and Stephanie are Hattie Jacques if seen reflected in a convex mirror.
Or is that a concave mirror?....yeah a concave mirror.They'd look like Olive Oil if it was convex.
Well she's had her shot at it but imo she just doesn't have what it takes. I'll be disappointed if she's still there in a couple of weeks because I really don't think she's capable of playing Dorothy.

Emilie's Mum: What's Emilie done to deserve those harsh comments?
.... Be sh*t!

I don't get it... did this just happen on the results show? I hevent seen it!

That's who it is! It's been bugging me so, thanks blue.

Yeah, she was miming to her family I think
I though she was miming to Danni "Be strong! Be Strong!"
