A very worthy runner up and very gracious in defeat

Hear hear!

shes gonna be in the west end no doubt

Hear hear too. Sophie was excellent all through the series and I hope she'll get to appear in the West End!

Sophie still had the performance of the series in my eyes with that song Reflection tonight! She'll be on the WE in no time and i can't wait to see her

A star til the end- will go far!

OMG Sophie if I am honest you were never in my top 3 but when I watched you perform today I actually cried.... YOU WERE AMAZING....And i definitely think the top 3 of this final was perfect!!!!

She was amazing tonight, i've seen a side of her i've not seen before.

Well Done Sophie , your day will come .

Sophie was amazing tonight. After her second half performances I was so scared that she would win and even though she didn`t she has an amazing future ahead of her!

yes, well done. reflection ruled.

I've just congratulated Danielle on the AT.

I have to say I'm very happy to see a Danielle fan started this thread. Danielle and Sophie were both fantastic tonight. I'm gutted for Sophie but she's going to do really well for herself now. She will be happy with her acheivment I'm sure of that, even though she wont be thinking like that right now.

Brilliant performances Sophie - you confirmed that you had the best MT voice in this competition!! We came second in our preference (again) - the only one we got right was Lee Mead! At least our favourite Toto came in (D. Dave)

Sophie was best by some way we felt tonight, but there you go. Best wishes for the future!!

Well done, Sophie, you could have been Dorothy

well done Sophie,myself and friends and family were all supporting you. i hope you are starring :in something soon,i would love to see you in musical theatre one day

Well done Sophie! A wonderful voice and she really acted in her performances tonight more than ever before. She would have been a worthy winner, but luckily, so is Danielle.

Well done Sophie, you were amazing Especially tonight

She will l be in the west end soon and will be fab in whatever show she is in I will always be TEAM SOPHIE xx

sophie was amazingg so glad everyone gave her a chance and she got to the final

Well done Soph!!! Very very proud of you!! Reflection was outstanding! made me cry

I had no particular favourite tonight, I waited to vote after I'd heard both "Over The Rainbow" renditions. Sophie (in my opinion, of course) sang it way better so she got my vote. I can see why Danielle won, stage acting, obvious 'look' etc and I'm pleased for her. But based purely on "Over The Rainbow" I would have paid to have seen Sophie in the theatre.

Such a shame! But I'll be surprised if Sophie doesn't appear as Dorothy at some point.

Sophie was easily my favourite right from the start but I certainly did expect her to make the final.

Thank you Sophie for the exciting journey (so far!).

Yes well done to the lovely Sophie. I can't say anything negative about her. I think Reflection from this evening was the best performance of the entire series, as some other FMs have said, I actually shed a little tear. It was just beautiful. She's so engaging, I think with some training and guidance she could be phenomenal.

I'll be following her career, I hope she makes it big. I bet Tonypandy is so proud of her.

Sophie did so well tonight, I wish her all the best for the future, im sure she'll do brilliantly!

I thought Sophie gave it a really really good go.
Her OTR was arguabley as good as Danielle's.Reflection was absolutely superb.
She looks great,the camera does love her and she has a natural singing voice.So why did'nt she win.

I got the feeling she did'nt think she could.She must have been as aware as everyone that Danielle was the favourite

I the end I got the feeling that she was glad it was all over.Like it was a simply a matter of process.

Did the public sense that to.

Or was it simply that apart from a few floating or first time voters,most had already made up their mind.No doubt influenced by everything that had gone before.

Here again we are back to the manipulation theory and that the Lord always tends to get the performer he wants.

This is not sour grapes by the way.Danielle is a very talented and gifted artist.But these inquests always happen.Its customary.

After Sophie's OTR, I said to myself, 'beat that Danielle'; as Charlotte implied the song suited Sophie's voice down to the ground. Its her version that should be on the charity single.

Unfortunately Danielle was nowhere near, very scratchy, with nothing left for the final notes, she actually made a better fist of it the second time around. Don't think Danielle has a good enough voice for true musical theatre, she'll probably end up as an actress. People who go to WoOz to hear the signature song may well be disappointed.
