So Danielle has won that part. Well done to her.
Danielle was my least favourite of the three on the singing side but I did enjoy watching her stomping around with 76 trombones.
I hope she gets on with Dangerous Dave.

My sentiments exactly Born Lippy!

She was always my winner but the way the voting patterns went, it could've been any of the girls

I barely noticed her at the start although she did grow on me. She wasn't my personal choice but well done to her.

Danielle and Stephanie were both early favourites of mine. They both looked like Dorothy but were very different. Strange that in the filmng of Dorothy farm, Danielle was more or less ignored and it bugged me, whereas Stephanie was centre stage. You really had to look for Danielle and in the odd glimpse you had of her she looked great but I wanted to see more.
The two seemed to be at opposite ends of the spectrum off stage and I found myself warming much more to the quieter Danielle. The night Stephanie went out was a real turning point as I wasn't gutted like I thought I might be.
I have no idea why I warmed to Danielle but went off Stephanie but I did, it wasn't anything to do with the judges though as I never usually go for the favourite and really didn't enjoy all the gushing that went on, other than it reinforced my view.

I actually had Stephanie pegged as the winner right from the auditions. She really stood out to me.
Then I saw Danielle's performance of Red in week one and she blew me away. I had a feeling either of those girls would win. Danielle became my favourite with Stephanie as my back up.
Then when Stephanie was voted I really warmed to Sophie and she became my back up.

Last night was the perfect final for me and I would have been genuinely happy had either of them won.

Danielle seems to be one of those effortless performers.

I don't think she has any greater all round talent than many,but her interpretation is exceptional.This gives her a remarkable stage presence.
You notice and often you're wondering why.The answer of course is simple.
Its called star quality!
Anyone born with it is very very lucky.She's like a footballer who does'nt appear to do very much and then scores the winning goals.Worth their weight in gold.

At first,to be honest I could'nt see beyond either Stephanie or Lauren.As the shows progressed,Danielle's quality started to show.Stephanie was as bright as a button and her exit was a shock.
Lauren was my favourite at this point,and with good reason.She was and is the complete package,with a voice to die for.
Sophie was certainly not in the frame at that time.
Danielle's popularity grew,and it was obvious why.
Mambo Italiano confirmed what we all knew (even Lauren supporters),that she was more suited to the role than Lauren,she was younger and a better actress.Popular was a telling performance.They were both brilliant,and combined magnificently.It confirmed that Lauren was a fantastic all rounder,she had to act.Her voice played a minor role,and this gave Danielle the opportunity to excel.We are talking here about differences at a very high level of artistry,but finally (now its all over) I have to admit Danielle was just that bit better.

From then on I knew she was going to win.

Danielle,draws you in to her performances,whilst Lauren grabs you by the throat.You can't ignore either of them,but for different reasons.
Meanwhile Sophie had quietly been going about her business.She came up on the rails,made a late challenge,but it was too late.The prize was already Danielle's
