Really? You didn't cringe at her desperation and piggy backing on the back of Katie price fame?

The Alan Carr impression was just the worst thing of the whole night.

When she did her Janet Street Porter, I got flashbacks to Faith Brown on New Faces, that's how outdated that impression was.

Perhaps a visit to your gp for ear syringing might help...

Yep, I'd be surprised if even half the audience knew who JSP was these days.

She was my absolute favourite throughout - I thought her semi-final performance was outstanding - but she was utterly dreadful tonight so I'm glad she didn't win.

She is very talented and her material is usually good, so I am quite looking forward to her spin-off show that we all know is happening. Just please, NO MORE SINGING!

(And to those saying "she doesn't do anyone outside of London", she did Cheryl & Nadine and both - more so Cheryl - were very good.)

A Geordie and an Irish girl? They aren't exactly hard accents to perfect!

hmm she did badly last night but perhaps that was nerves?

her first auditition was good and i saw that channel 4 show last year which is obviously prerecorded but she was good on that

she needs to get some up-to-date characters. no-ones heard of stacey solomon since she smoked during her pregnancy, can't imagine they will again

Katie Price - from Brighton
Geri Halliwell - from Watford
Alan Carr - from Northampton

None of these people are from London anyway so confused as to why people are saying she can only do Londoners.

I thought she was alright but I only watched the final and not the rest of the series.

"Come on Katie, have my baby" - I was incredibly cringing at that part. I think she blew her chances come that point. Everything else before was fine.

I thought she was brilliant. They weren't 100% perfect but the act as a whole is great as its more than just the voices!

Because to most of the country, the 'Southern' accents all sound the same.

Her Cheryl Cole was a car crash, who knew the former Miss Tweedy, was a Pakistani Brummie?

If you want to play a game click the link and list the number of names that have been spelt incorrectly. That's not very professional is it? I can't imagine it taking that long for whoever designed the website to make sure that they have spelt the names correctly

I don't know anyone who would spell Jordan as Jordon

Good old Vanessa Phelps - Who? Do you mean Vanessa Feltz

I didn't see the need really for doing Katie Price again, its been great this last year not seeing her in magazines and stuff, don't get why you would try and bring her back. It would of been better to do someone a little more current.

Yes she did Cheryl Cole but her geordie accent was terrible.

She put all eggs in the same basket with the Katie price routine, a brave move but it backfired, I thought it was good , but he thing is Katie can actually hold a tune whilst francine can't , but still very funny

I liked Francine's audition and she was my initial favourite but that soon changed, as her semi-final performance was poor and the final one was cringeworthy. I hoped that she would redeem herself by pulling off great impressions of Amanda and Alesha...but no...

Another poster mentioned that Marea Smithson impersonated Coronation Street's Gail and Audrey last year and I did think of her when Francine started doing those voices. Perhaps Francine had been checking out past BGT videos for inspiration on what impressions the audience wanted to hear!

When I first visited Francine's website, I had to google the name before the error became apparent, as I could not think 'Vanessa Phelps' was!

Nice eggs reference, ha ha! Regarding Katie being able to hold a tune, are you sure?

Is that real?

I like Francine, though she should never have done Katie again or the daft song, she should have brought someone new in, her Fearne Cotton is brilliant.

The show claims it's looking for an act with world wide appeal, yet it puts through to the finals an act that only locals can appreciate?

No slight against Francine. She seems like a perfectly nice person.

Have you heard that infamous A Whole New World duet?

Really!- you obviously haven't heard Jordan sing then. Even auto tuned to within an inch of her life she still sounds horrific. As another poster has said " A Whole New World"-- YouTube it- nuff said.

The only decent impression I heard her do was Sharon Osborne in her semi-final performance. I didn't know who half of the people were that she was trying to impersonate and some of the characters I did know were just so dated. I mean Janet Street Porter FFS. I half expected her to do Mavis Riley off Corrie circa 1989, ala Les Dennis!

I never understood the hype surrounding her, but then that's never stopped Cowell hyping up undeserving acts before has it.

Glad to see the public saw past all this Simon Cowell BS of "omg you are amazing" and saw that in the final both her impressions and comedy were pretty average for the most part. Second from bottom and 2% of the vote says it all really!

James More should have been in the final in place of her!
