Thought she was brilliant and has great potential

She was fantastic I hope she does really well this year.

She seemed so genuine. I hope she goes far, but I wonder how many more impressions she has.

She was very good. This is exactly the kind of act they should be having on BGT and not the endless procession of singers and dancers.

Her impressions were brilliant but this type of act is very limited, as it relies on the surprise factor.

She probably used her best material for the audition and unless she's got something great up her sleeve, I'd say she is a semi-finalist at best.

Agreed. If she does get through to the live bits she won't get in the final

you never know whod have thought a dancing dog would win last year for example who knows francine might impersonate him yet i suppose - if she gets to the live shows whe standsd a chance

She was great.

Well, we don't know if she'll make it to the semis never mind the final but if she does, it will be interesting if she can change the impressions around a bit and do one of someone who isn't from within London

Stacey Solomon tweeted:

Haha love it well don't francine Lewis!!! #bgt

Francine was my fav from the second round of acts, she was so funny.

The only impressionist on BGT to have ever gotten a standing ovation I believe

As pointed out on another thread, she's been around since the 90's and made many TV appearances in the past. I recognised her immediately.

Nothing wrong with that. She probably feels that BGT is the biggest platform she could use.

'Well don't? Is she not impressed then? Ha. For Francine's next skit, she could impersonate Stacey reacting to her impression of her!

It took me a sec to twig the first one was Stacey but she got it spot on

I'm pretty sure it's 'well done'

I recognised her as soon as she said her name, the Mrs said "do you know her" but I only knew of her from the earlier TV stuff.

An interview in The People yesterday says she was asked to audition by the shows producers as are a lot of the acts. They must spend ages trawling YouTube for this kind of stuff, I'd imagine many of the good acts are sought by the producers rather than just turning up on the day.

She did an excellent Sharon from EastEnders on This Morning.

She seems successful already. I'd seen her before and I'm not a huge telly addict. I just wonder what she thinks BGT will do for her in the long run that she's not already doing.

Her material is poor though - there are no actual jokes. She needs to employ a decent gag writer.

As long as there is constructive criticism it's all right.

The fact she appeared on This Morning suggests she has made it to the lives.

My favourite so far I think.

But she does need to create jokes/sketches.

And I hope she does Amanda Holden as I think she'd do a good one of her.

The Cheryl one was brilliant, but I admit when she came out I thought she looked like a Katie Price/Jordan impersonator, if that makes sense

you know I thought exactly the same especially when hearing the pre audition tape and how she sounded with her natural voice. I know people are saying she is well known but I have not actually seen anything she has done before plus professional artists are allowed to enter and the show has always had scouts who go around dance/theatre schools etc looking for people to fast track into the auditions. If they didn't then we would get a lot of acts who would never get through and the show wouldn't work.

As good as the Holly Willoughby impersonation was, it would have been better without the squeaky noises

I'd love to see her do Mrs Brown.

We can probably expect an impression of Amanda, one of Alesha, mostly focused on the way she laughs, and two overly effeminate impersonations of David and Simon!
