Biggest regret of the series

They didn't let her or want her to to shine. I agree she was a bit nasally at times but apparently problems will disappear during the preperations for the show. Why not for Jenny?”

ALW seems to take against certain contestants (usually my favourite) for no apparent reason.
Claire Harbourne (the pretty young blonde in the top 20) not getting through to the top 11. I think she was overlooked but she is a talent.

I agree I thought Camille was great.
Jessica not getting to the final,the lass is a complete natural on stage!!.But as she said everything happens for a reason,and i think she'll be proved right.

The fact that MT night turned out to be a bit of a let down.
Having to see Mr bojangles performed again.
The fact that Lauren lost her confidence, and turned out to be just as vunerable as the other girls... booo.
down graded to just monster. She was great, "Relitivly expensive double quilted cotton pads..."

The fact that there were only 11 contestants.*they could have made it 12 like in the Joseph and Nancy
shows
The fact that there was a double elimination week. There should have been two seperate weeks for the top 6 and top 5
The fact that they only sang one song each in the final/semi final. Each contestant should have had two songs (at least) when they were in the top 4 and top 3. If Steph had another song that showed her performance skills off better in the top 4, and Sophie had one where she was not as good as she had been when she did Reflection, we might have had Steph in the final, and Lauren coming second (or maybe even beating Danielle, though I have to admit, it most probably wouldn't have happened).
The fact that the song choices were terrible. Sophie had some horrible song choices (Love Song, That Don't Impress Me, etc). The only song Danielle had where she really shone like the winner she is was Mambo Italiano. She could have had some other brilliant songs as well, other than Could It Be Magic, Cry Me River etc. Lauren had better songs, but yet again, none were fantastic choices, except for Run and Nobody Knows. Sway has been done twice before, and Man That Got Away is a Jessie Buckley classic (in ALW's eyes) so it was rather silly to have it given to her. i think Steph got the best songs, and Jessica got some great ones too. Jenny started with two great songs, and then got rubbish song choices that were not going to do her any favours. Stephanie also never got great songs that she could make her own. Bronte also had an awful song the week she was eliminated. With better songs, I really think this series would have been the best yet, with more performances that would be able to rank with Connie's 'Shout', Lee's 'Paint It Black', Jodie's 'Send In*The Clowns', Jessie's 'Man That*Got Away', Siobhan's 'Songbird', Abi's 'Big Spender', Rachel's 'Cabaret', Aoife's 'Sway' and the others of that calibre

I agree with you there, but I think she was TOO edgy to have survived!
I also think Bronte went way too soon! She could have ended up in the final!

I agree with this!
.voting. every week i voted the poor girl i voted for went out (that's on 4 separate occasions!)
.That the Josephs from a couple of series ago didn't all come back and perform........... every week... instead of the girls... hey i can dream........................<3
.coining the term "mambo mafia"
.Not that Danielle's a bad choice but I am disappointed that we didn't get a different or edgy Dorothy, found this a cool prospect at the beginning of the show...... and Andy did rattle on endlessly about it! he took away most of the "different" ones when choosing the top 10!
.That Sheila turned out IMO not to be as wise and impartial a judge as she appeared to be in the first couple of shows.
.all the dorothy shoes on ebay are going for extortionate prices now

Worst performance of a decent song. I'd rather listen to Emilie sing.

Er and I stole it
Not a regret though... I thought Tasheka (sp?) should have gone through, and I also thought Stephanie and Jess were out too soon
