She's made some references to having a manager and offers coming in so we'll just have to wait and see what turns up. I do believe she hasn't peaked yet, and after maybe a year or two of working on her own material will be back.

I don't know who else believes in such things, but I'm interested in understanding people's personality types. Since seeing the Judges Houses audition I felt that we had a mature artisan (http://personalityspirituality.net/a...-artisan-soul/).

You can tell from the way she tends to sing with her eyes closed that this is someone who primarily connects with the meaning of the music, rather than someone who primarily entertains an audience (in the personality system I linked to, that's what a sage type tends to do).

From the article: "Mature Artisans are drawn to use their creative expression in more meaningful ways, e.g. to understand and explore human emotions. They can be bohemian, highly inventive, perhaps avant-garde, and are often ahead of their time."

If I'm right about this, in a few years time some amazing music will come out from this artist. So there's no need to worry.

Yeah I saw that she said she has got so many offers its unreal.

Shes probably been offered poor roles though like big brother. If she demolishes her reputation like that then its curtains for her imo.

She needs to realise shes 17 and got loads of time. She shouldnt rush any decision. So even if she would like to do a reality show in the future she shouldnt rush into one as it would be a poor move for her career.

As much as I love Lauren, I feel like the semi-final songs weren't right for her for this stage of the competition. The first performance was nice, but not good enough. Her 2nd performance was better, but again not good enough to make the finals unfortunately with all those great comments Fleur got (although her performance was mediocre vocally).
Lauren can sing really well as she has proved with What a feeling, Smile and I know where I've been (sing-off performance and in my opinion her best vocally).
I really hope she doesn't accept any reality show offers, that made me hate Jake Quickenden even more, she should just focus on getting a record deal and improving vocally.

Also, she would most likely make it to the final 3 or 2 if she remained as consistent throughout the competition as Andrea (probably the best singer this year followed by Lauren or Paul) and (sigh) Fleur (great performer, weak vocals, shouldn't be in top 4), but the vocal mistakes she made in weeks 3,5 and 8 and that uncomfortable attempt at dancing in week 4 probably cost her the votes throughout the competition. Based on her last sing-off with Andrea, I have to and hate to agree with Simon's decision. This final won't be as disappointing to me as long as Fleur doesn't win.

edit: Sorry about criticizing Fleur, I like her but there are at least 7 better singers than her this year.

I liked it as well, it was good, but with a different song she could have delivered great vocals and have a better chance in getting through. I am curious to see who would have won the deadlock when they update the season 11 wikipedia site with vote percentage after the show is over.

My prediction is that Lauren came 3rd. I sort of dont want her to as then i can accept her not being in the final more but if she came 3rd then id be like darn you simon why wouldnt you go to deadlock

My prediction for top spot is

Week 1 - Andrea
Week 2 - Lauren
Week 3 - Lauren
Week 4 - Andrea
Week 5 - Andrea
Week 6 - Fleur
Week 7 - Fleur
Week 8 - Ben
Week 9 - Fleur

Interesting, I think those predictions could be true. Fleur or Ben were most likely on top in votes the last 3 or 4 weeks. I could see Lauren's votes being on top in week 3 just because she sang Let it go, despite going off key 4 or 5 times.

Im getting a little interested and excited in what shes planning to do. It seems its exciting her so it must be big.

Hopefully its not a reality tv show.

I can't see it as Big Brother or I'm a Celebrity. I really hope not! I'm pretty sure this is someone mature and serious who wants to sing not just get 15 mins of fame. Unless it's something like the Voice it must be a concert or a record deal.

Dont think she can enter the voice until 2017 or something anyway.

Shes probably been offered a concert. Think shes signed with Simon until after the tour so if she has signed a record deal she has to wait for it to start until the tour finishes.

I can imagine her being the type of girl who will want to wait to see if Simon signs her up or has spoken to him about an offer. He might have told her to go for it as he doesnt plan on offering her a deal but i very much doubt thats the case

As long as she is planning to do something related to her future music career, which I am sure she will have with the potential she has, she will do just fine. Now we just have to wait and see what she is actually up to.

Tbh I'm missing the final. If you can't go out on Sat/Sun, watch a movie or Strictly instead!

Im watching it as ive watched all the other episodes but ill rethink it next year. I think Simon has lost himself a lot of viewers this year. The manipulation was way too much.

Andrea and Lauren in my opinion are the real final 2 no matter how the votes do. Shes a fighter and she'll make it but hope with another label.
