Just wanted to say as well that Lauren blew me away in the sing-off. Her line "and pain is all around" packed such a punch I spontaneously burst into tears.

She's got something that girl. And while she isn't my fave, it would be a travesty if she wasn't in the final.

Well its the first time I've ventured into the forum ever, so you're practically a veteran in comparison - I am not usually much of an internet forum type but I'm supposed to be writing a literature review which has that sort of effect on me (anything to procrastinate!) and I do tend to get a leetle bit obsessive about these shows so its nice to have so many equally obsessive people to talk abotu it with, it stops me from boring my housemates tears...anyway....go Lauren! I hope she isn;t in the bottom two again (with such a short voting time surely ancould happen) but if she is I'm sure she'll ace it again, I'm not sure she's capable of singing something badly!

Totally agree! This show has totally put me off ever wanting to see The Wizard of Oz!

So what would we most like to see Lauren in...? Evita? Florence in Chess (National tour coming up... I'm ignoring the fact that it's probably already been cast!)? Even perhaps Scaramouche in We Will Rock You (now there's on odd image for you!)?

I agree, I'm not exactly desperate to go to see it. The original songs (with the exception of over the rainbow) are just silly, and not being a big fan of ALW musicals to be honest I'm not sure he will improve it much! I will probably try to get tickets if Lauren or Steph and possibly Danielle wins but I'm not all that bothered. I was much more interested in the final result last time because Oliver is mayeb my favourite musical ever - this year I just want my favourites tay in so I can keep watching them on the show

I know its not really a leading lady role but I think Lauren would be a wonderful Fantine in Les Mis...

omg
i was so so so so gutted that she was in the sing off with jenny but lauren can come back from this!!!!!
hopefully she isnt in the bottom two tomorrow!

oh and that last night in being alive was AMAZING!!!!!!
and ALW was quick to save lauren over jenny because lauren is so easily the best!!!!!

I did warn you lot that Lauren could be in trouble this week.Didn't expect it to be with Jenny but this series is so messed up anything could happen.

Lauren now seems to be so clearly the best that it is a joke that she is not topping the votes each week.The other girls,who know her better than us,all seem to like her so i don't get why the editors are trying to shaft her with their unfriendly edits(unless they are very determined to get the vastly inferior Danielle to win,Steph is the only comparable talent left).

Once again i was out so couldn't vote(have watched on sky plus),but i love to see the best being rewarded so am devastated at the publics voting tonight.

I'm still really annoyed that Lauren was in the bottom two last night! I know I might be a little biased but her performance was the best of the night.

I thought Danielle was going to walk it when I heard she was singing On My Own, but she disappointed me! And surprisngly my 2nd fave last night was Jessica!!! It was Jenny's time to go, Sophie was meh! And Steph disappointed me as well!

^ I agree .. Danielle could have done so much more with that song. I kinda wish Lauren had it and we would have seen a proper performance!

I think Charlotte does need to stop fawning over Lauren, because I think it's costing her votes! Totally unfair for her to be in the bottom two, best of the night by a country mile. Let's hope she get's all the extra rebound votes next week, firing her into the Final

that is was exactly what i thought!!!!! lauren would have made it her own and she has the best voice for that song!!!!!

she has to be through to next week!
and then hopefully the final!

but next week i want her to have a happy song because recently all she seems to get is intense songs!

I've seen quite a few people say how sick they are of her gettig boring miserable songs. It's no good being the best if you are the best at something the public don't like

A nice upbeat number would be great

thought i would just bump this back up to the top of the page

lauren was so so so good in the talk to animals number!!!
and the sing off!!!!
she has to stay!!

I think that's the first time I've seen any real 'upset' from Lauren, except from that VT where she was devastated about being in the bottom 2. She looked visibly affected, but no surprise. The GBP really don't know talent when they see it. She's a pro though, so she'll bounce back. I just wish she knew how many people do like her and support her, I reckon she's probably quite unaware?!

Lauen has the best vocals by far, and she is confident and assured on stage. Surely this makes her the number 1 contender?

It does annoy me that this is a personality contest... when going to the theatre, you want to see a decent actress/singer playing the lead no matter what she's like off-stage (though I'm sure she's really lovely off stage, even if some viewers think she's a c*ocky b*tch!)!

I do think that she looked a bit upset after her solo, what with ALW's screechy comment and her VT (she must have known that yet again she'd been screwed over)...

i hope Lauren can bounce back from being in the bottom two, especially tonight show with only an hour to get over it and not a week.

Loved that all the judges were completely positive about Lauren when they were commenting on all of the girls!

gutted she didn't get a dog! ...

I know! I'm desperate to hear her Over The Rainbow (though I'm very happy to wait until May 22nd! )!

wow! it kind of did her good tonight/last night to have it straight after! People seem to have seen a different side to her

Me too Pigfarts .... (I want to hear the story behind the name ) i'm on holiday on the 22nd

i knew she would make it through

Jessica SO stole missy away from lauren haha!
i'm loving how people are finally warming to lauren! and we've seen it all along!

and lauren managed to jump from being last in the votes to at least 3rd
and she beat danielle which is pretty impressive seeing as lauren had yet another negative vt and intense song!

i'm SO happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol it's from 'A Very Potter Musical'... Malfoy wants to leave Hogwarts and go to Pigfarts, a school on Mars It's an awesome musical, but I'd be happy for you to call me Faye!


I'm so glad that people are starting to like her!

Errrr ... There's ANOTHER "I can't warm to Lauren" thread out there

Seriously, if she annoys you that much just mute her (and miss out of the performance of the night)

Ahhh right ... Not really a Potter fan so the connection went right over my head

Seriously, can't people get over it?! Yeah, we get it, lots of people don't like/get Lauren's personality!

They do this because they obviously can't fault her talent! It's the only angle where they can realistically slate her. Although I think thats just stupid too as you can't really 'get' someones personality through a TV screen.

Lauren's lovely, even Arlene Phillips said so on her Twitter account last night!
