And here's another Scot to look out for in the future.... Alex Gardner!

http://www.alexgardnermusic.com/

I saw Alex last year supporting Paolo Nutini and he's got a really good voice... and he looks cute too!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ly_Us6MOEM .. << He's had more views of this song than all the Dorothys put together!!!
Hmm, just listened to this. Not too keen on the song, but he has quite a unique voice so no doubt he will be popular.

OMG! posts like yours really, really, really infuriate me . I actually find it rather offensive if i'm totally honest.
It's your second sentence that really gets to me. You're basically calling Scottish people stupid and saying the English are better. It wasn't even subtle either! We'll see if you're bold enough to reply to this

!
I'm not calling Scottish people stupid. I'm calling Scotting people parochial.

We find that offensive too.

Good luck to the fabulous Ms Douglas, may you thwart the attempts of ALW to get rid of you again!

Exactly! I just hope Jenny gets a good song tonight and is not shoved to the back of the group song!!

Here we go!

It's gone very quiet on here...

Lauren got the lowest viewer vote. I might be wrong, but I think tonight was the first time that AL-W saved the person with the lowest viewer votes.

You are right. It's the first time he's gone against the public vote. He's never liked Jenny, and it took him all of about three seconds to decide. He even admitted his decision wasn't based on the sing-off.

She was very gracious in defeat. Not in my top 2 but a talented, lovely girl. All the best

Jenny did well in the last song and she got the high note too! Hope she has a successful future as she's talented!

Send in the Clowns was lovely and Songbird was one of the best performances of the series. I don't think she was the best candidate for Dorothy, but she was nowhere near the worst tonight.

How often did Jenny actually get any big hit numbers? Other than the Rock Star song in the first show most of the songs have been slow ballad styles. She did well with the songs she had but I would like to have seen her do more big musical numbers or lively pop songs.

I have had the fortune to see Jenny on stage a number of times now, doing both musical and pop, and she is excellent, holds the audience and acts out the songs.

For me, and most people I know, I think Jennys singing was the most consistent. Certainly the most in tune, I just wonder what the judges are watching cos I think they were always a bit harsh with her.

Rant over now!! You can tell I am a jenny fan I guess lol

Gutted for Jenny - that's two weeks running I held back the tears.

Why the hell should past experience with pets influence her ability to play Dorothy?

Did anyone ever mention singing and acting ability and Oh btw a rapport with doggies before the series started?

They have animal experts available - plenty of time to establish a relationship between Jenny and the pooch.

I've just watched Jenny singing Over the Rainbow again from earlier on and she really was good and should never have gone tonight! I liked the way she gave a cheeky little wink to the other girls as she was about to be hoisted high into the rafters!!!

That was a poor excuse from ALW about Jenny's lack of rapport with the dog... there's several months for the dog to be trained... he just didn't want her! Strange he didn't get rid of the one with the lowest number of viewers' votes as he's previously done!!!

Maybe he's got something lined up for her elsewhere!

It was sad but Jenny went out on a high and she should feel very proud of herself! http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_WPND1k3eFd.../GOLD+STAR.gif

If you watch this with the sound turned down you can lip-read every word of what Jenny is singing!

I know. It's like wtf you're meant to be an "expert". She just talks complete crap most of the time. She's like a slightly more coherent Arlene Phillips.

If you watch Ruthie Henshall's version, her facial expressions are extremely similar to Jenny's.
