After this week's show what's your order, taking into account all of the performances so far?

For me -

1. Danielle. Don't think either of the last two weeks' songs have done her any favours but I just find her totally mesmerising, in the group numbers I always gravitate to her

2. (By a fraction) Steph. Great singer, great actress, great mover, she has it all. Am starting now to see her as Dorothy

3. Jenny. Probably too 'pop' vocally to be a real contender but I like her unaffected personality a lot

4. Stephanie. Started off loving her. Went off her big time. Won me over again this week, especially in the group numbers. Just wish she could STOP!!! being so OVERDRAMATIC!!!!

5. Lauren. Steady. Reliable. :sleep:

6. Jessica. Not quite as irritating to me as she was in the first couple of weeks but still pretty irritating. Weakest singer left in for me

7. Sophie. Sorry to say this because I think she comes over as probably the nicest girl left in, but everything's just too underwhelming. Had her chance to leave her mark in the sing-off and blew it with an insipid performance

i've done this so many times.

so.

1. danielle.
2. Steph
3. Stephanie
4. Lauren
5. Sophie.
6. Jessica
7. Jenny.

Snap! We have the exact same list overall, except for Dorothy I would put Stephanie second and Lauren/Steph tied for third.

Lauren
Jenny
Steph
Stephanie
Danielle
Sophie
Jessica

1. Lauren. Amazing voice, quality actress and a good mover. She also has the stamina to do 8 shows a week - I would definately pay to see her!

2. Stephanie. Not too far behind Lauren. Beautiful tone to her voice and has proved she can dance. She can sometimes be a little OTT but I can't deny that she's good.

3. Steph. If I met her in real life I believe we'd get on really well. She has the likeability factor, gorgeous voice, gorgeouse girl. And I believe she could be Dorothy.

4. Danielle. I do believe she's good, but at the moment she's still coming across as 1 dimensional. I need to see her do a different kind of performance - she needs to offer more.

5. Sophie. The one girl who looks like the 'ideal' Dorothy, good actress but her voice and performances haven't won me over yet.

6. Jenny. Another girl that I think I would get on well with if I met her but her voice is very nasal which I don't really like and she has admitted herself that she's not the best dancer. I think she would have been more suited to the X Factor.

7. Jessica. OTT just like Stephanie but at least Stephanie has got the talent to back it up. She comes across as gawky and gangly which sometimes can be endearing but just not for me. All the other girls IMO are much better.

If it wasn't for Dorothy I think my list would be very different but as it is;

Danielle

Danielle - I just love her tone of voice, her look, her stage presence, her acting ability & the fact that she seems like a sweet, lovely girl.
Sophie - Underrated. She has a beautiful voice & her acting in "Love Song" was brilliant. She looks the part too.
Steph - I was underwhelmed by Use Somebody and her VT with the family was just a bit irritating. But she's still an amazing performer and I enjoy her very much.
Jessica - I adored her performance this week, she really pulled it back this week.
Stephanie - Love her voice but everything else about her is too exagerrated. Her acting, dancing, "ditzy" personality. She doesn't come across as genuine to me amd I can't seem to warm to her. She'll probably win though.
Lauren - Another one with a great voice (and boy, does she know it! ) but the sob story, as sad as it us, annoyed me and also the way she backed out of the whole confident thing. Just be yourself! Her movements and acting are too slick and seem unnatural and her facial expressions are the same all the time (like Danielke, I know, but Danielle hasn't had a chance to show a fun side, Lauren has.) Also she looks too old in my opinion.
Jenny - Her voice is too nasally, she doesn't look like Dorothy, rarely connects with a song and I just don't think she's Dorothy.

Not as easy as it sounds. I was much clearer in my mind with this show's predecessors, but I ranked the contestants after last night's show and changed my mind (again) after tonight's show. Still, for the next ten minutes or so, my rankings would be:

1. Danielle
2. Stephanie
3. Lauren
4. Steph
5. Sophie
6. Jessica
7. Jenny

1. Steph
2. Danielle
3. Stephanie
4. Jessica
5. Lauren
6. Jenny
7. Sophie

Really tough as they are all very talented and it's considering who is right for Dorothy, but this would probably be my order:

1.Stephanie
2.Steph
3.Jenny
4.Sophie
5.Danielle
6.Lauren
7.Jessica

To rank Lauren 6th seems incredibly harsh but I just prefer the others although if she were to win I would think it a good result!

1. Danielle - Is my Dorothy, I've liked her from the begining, I really want her to have a song she can really get into though. I find her the one I most draw to in group numbers.

2. Steph - Great singer, great actress, great dancer. Very grounded and not too attention seeking. Best all rounder.

3. Sophie - After listening to her in group numbers like 'Never forget you' I've really warmed to her.

4. Jessica - Liked her from the start, alays been a bit gawky etc, but I think she might be playing on it too much. Still like her though.

5. Lauren - Lovely voice, best singer.

6. Stephanie - Too over the top. She tries too hard in group numbers and looks out of place. Okay voice, but just not Dorothy to me, she seems too knowing.

7. Jenny - Nice enough girl, nice voice, but she just doesn't have that oomph that makes me want to see her as Dorothy.

Ho hum, quite tough but...

1.) Lauren/Stephanie

3.) Danielle

4.) Sophie, purely for the look and Dorothy personality traits she seems to have

5.) Steph, no denying she is good but for me she's not Dorothy but can see her in a multitude of other musicals. In fact in most currently on in the W/E

6.) Jessica

7.) Jenny

However, 4th and 5th and 6th and 7th could quite easily swap.

1 - Steph.
2 - Lauren.
3 - Sophie.
4 - Jessica.
5 - Danielle.
6 - Stephanie.
7 - Jenny.

My favourites:

Stephanie, closely followed by Steph.

I like:

Danielle and Jessica and would be happy to see either of them win if my top two don't.

Indifferent:

Lauren. Too refined for my tastes.

Not keen:

Sophie (a big disappointment, just can't shake the nerves off) and Jenny and her nasally sound.

Danielle:
For me, the full package. young, vulnerable, stage presence, sing/dance/act. looks the part. sweet, girl next door. Not stage schooly. humble. (perhaps my log-in name gives away my adoration!).

Stephanie:
Young, bubbly, looks right, but still not sure she can act. 'Ditzy' personaliy beginning to irritate but not sure why. Great singer and stage presence.

Steph:
'triple threat', still hard to see as Dorothy though (age and not innocent enough). Amazing vocalist.

Lauren:
grown on me after this sat. Amazing vocalist best one in the group. still hard to see as Dorothy though (age and not innocent enough).

Jenny:
good vocal but had 2 shit songs recently. blonde hair has always put me off as cant see her as Dorothy. Likeable.

Sophie:
Would be higher if she gets some confidence.

Jessica:
Likeable but worst vocalist now

1. Jessica - Just love her.
2. Steph - Great all rounder.
3. Stephanie - Great all rounder again, amazing voice.
4. Lauren - She's great.
5. Sophie - She's good.
6. Jenny - She's good.
7. Danielle - Good, just not for me..

2 and 3 could easily swap around though..hmm

This was actually difficult lol

Considering we're searching for Dorothy -

1. Danielle
2. Stephanie
3. Lauren
4. Steph
5. Sophie
6. Jenny
7. Jessica

I think the first 3 girls could play Dorothy tomorrow and Steph is fantastic, but I think she'd be better cast in something else. Sophie is lovely but really needs to overcome the nerves, Jenny is good but I don't think she has that extra 'something' needed to play a lead in the West End, and Jessica I'm just not keen on.

I think this is getting really difficult, now that Emilie has gone there isn't one I dislike. I think they are all good in their own way, some weaker than others though.

I don't think this will be the finishing order but these are my favs.

1. Steph - has the all round talent and not showbizzy at all, very grounded, which surprised me considering her parents were both in the music industry. But I don't think ALW wants her to be Dorothy, he's said it often enough.

2. Danielle - she makes me change my mind all the time k, I think she has the look, she has the innocence and has a brilliant voice. But she lacks something and I can't put my finger on it.

3. Lauren - amazing voice and acting ability.

4. Stephanie - she probably has it all, but maybe too knowing to be Dorothy, she hasn't got the look of innocence like Danielle has but has a better stage presence. Is very self aware.

5. Jessica - I love her, even her annoying ways, she is quirky and she almost moved me to tears last night when she sang the last part of her song. She could be Dorothy if only her singing was up to it.

6. Jenny - I love her singing and her acting but she isn't Dorothy.

7. Sophie - I love her too, she seems like a really nice girl but she just doesn't do it for me, she really lacks confidence and stage presence, if she's going to win it she has to try so much harder, she could do it if she goes that extra mile.
