What they said

I hope everyone votes lots tonight. For some reason I feel really nervous for Lauren this week. Hope she knocks it out of the park again like last Saturday.

This week I'll think we'll see a strong rebound vote from Sophie's fans as well as from Danielle's after being told she 'might' be in the bottom 2. Then, next weekend, it's the double elimination

I just really hope Lauren makes it through these 2 weeks, everyone votes and she gets to the semi-final/top 4. *fingers crossssssed*

Now that my personal favourite has gone,there is only one other girl I'd genuinely like to see win.

Lauren

I've been in bed with sickness all day - let's hope Lauren can cheer me up

No idea what it is, but I feel nervous for Lauren tonight. She's clearly very good and talented and we see it every week, but the way she gets portrayed in the VT's and in those anecdotes they make her do, they ain't doing her any favours. Vote vote vote everyone!

Don't worry i've voted!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lauren was AMAZING!!!!
such a tough song but she nailed it! Lauren HAS to win!!!!!

Only a lurker on this forum, but for the last 2 weeks Lauren has been by far and away the best, for me. She's in a different league, with only maybe Dannielle able to give her a run for her money.

I haven't had a real favourite in these shows except for Lee Mead, and look at what a star he's become.

personally i think she is the best actress out of all of them, she must be in the final 3 surely

Excellent performance as usual but I agree with Kates89 not sure the VT's and interviews with Graham are doing her any favours.

It should be Sophie, Emilie or even Stephanie in the bottom two but the regional voting could save them. Paticularly Sophie whose VT was almost begging for the Welsh vote.

Hope Lauren's not in the bottom two it'd be a travesty.

I think Lauren was brilliant tonight and has been for the last few weeks actually. I would actually go as far as to say she's too good for Dorothy ... !

Voted for Lauren.

Wish they would stop banging on about the 'arrogant' thing. She doesn't come over like that to me at all.

Thought she was the best in the trolleybus song.

Best of the night and series so far. Don't get this arrogance thing they feel the need to raise week in and week out.

Phenomenal performance again from Lauren x

Well on pure performance it was Lauren,and for the second week running.If she stays in, as she must surely do after that powerful solo,she is nicely placed for the run in.

She was the best of the night for me tonight, when Danielle performed she was so great I was thinking wow Laurens got to pull it out of the bag to follow that and boy did she!

Loved it!!

I know, I was thinking the same, thinking 'God, how will she follow this? Have they put her with Danielle to show her up/knock out serious competition to ALW's pet' etc but she really did do a fab job and is definitely the most consistent there!

Lauren was amazing, just watched it!! Love her!

Best performance of last night.

Lauren is Liquid Gold.
She radiates,confidence and enthusiasm,comfortably balanced with a sunny outgoing disposition.

Every performance has been solid and professional.

I am actually pleased that she is not seen as the obvious favourite.That's a good place to be.
In the final stages I like to think her obvious understated class will permeate to the surface,setting off a chain reaction in the minds of her audience.

Then there will come a point of critical mass,an irresistible, realisation, that this girl, can do it all.

Thats how winners are forged.
Not by straightforward popularity,not by being labelled a people's princess,but by a natural,honest,effortless determination.A total unselfconscious awareness of one's own talent and ability,where the stage and the performer become one.

I think Lauren is fab and has a great talent - her performance last night was IMO the best although Danielle came a very very close second

Lauren is the all round package

I think so to.She can do everything the other girls can do,but adds a refined,professional polish.
There were no rose tinted glasses with Lauren's performance last night.She gave it like a whisky straight mixed only with a raw emotion.
It was a thank less song to sing,which was never going to have em rolling in the aisles.
The judges comments put it into context.She was simply excellent.

Errr ... Someone's started a thread slating Lauren ... Nervous she's on course for a win?

My thoughts exactly.No point in justifying such vacuous comments with any kind of a response.

Completely agree with you! I believe this week maybe wasn't as good as last week but this week she still stood out above the others!! So that says something, doesn't it?

Yesss ... Another week of Lauren
