She's mad as a brush, happy as a pig in poop one minute, torturing herself for not being good at anything the next. From what of seen, (on other shows too) her generosity and downright niceness shines through. She's comical and endearing to look at on F.A., loping about the stage like a newborn deer, all gangly legs and awkwardness and she so knows it She's not harming anyone - only herself in the past - and she's brought smiles to hundreds with her determination to just get on with it, when there were many times she thought she couldn't. Fighting spirit, generosity and humour is what Comic Relief is about. Tara has all three in bucketloads. Tara to Win ![]() Agree ... Tara to win |

That says more about you than any monied person. I hate all this class/wealth bitterness. |

I can assure you that I am not jealous of anyone with money because I lost my dad six months ago with cancer and I would rather be poor and have my dad back than have all the money in the world. You seem to have taken this very seriously - sorry if you were offended. Last edited by Glinny : 16-03-2007 at 15:37. |

She is not a great singer but she was good TV. I was pleased to see her win but I will not be buying the CD.

Thank goodness. I thought I was alone. As a person, I think Tara comes across well...sweet, crazy and lovely - but as a singer/entertainer? No! Daren't say that on here.

I agree with the OP. She has been hyped up as something more than what she is. Incredible amount of BS surrounding most of her performances.
Her boots performance was a killer routine though. It's just a shame that they overused it. Her second performance of it should have been saved for the final. It's as though she can only do one thing, that particular performance, because everything else ranged from incredibly poor to average. But I think she's a good person and quite like her, and it's not as though the general competiton was any better. |

I think Tara lost a bit of the emotional performance as she got better at the singing and taking to the circle of fear bits. Vulnerable comes over easier when you are more vulnerable and emotion is easier when Kevin doesn't have you doing a complicated routine with lots of moving.
Tricia I thought outsang Shaun on the previous two shows but she never sung a song that really hit any emotional highlights - perhaps they gave them all to Tara. Lesley was right she picked the right songs to show off her voice but horribly wrong in that she didn't pick any that would grab the votes from Tara. Basically if there is no one really really good (and the audience and money figures are well down) someone with a story who stands out and does things differently ought to win. It might have been one of the comedians who could sing but i suspect Tara stole their vote too. Last edited by thenetworkbabe : 17-03-2007 at 03:37. |

If this was a singing talent contest your basic premise that Tara = emperor's new clothes would be spot on. But Tara won for qualities that appealed to this show's audience that had nothing to do with singing ability. But in the end no-one really cares who won as it was for charity.

However I think a few days ago she would have been fancying her chances. As alot of them were saying that it was between her and Barry. |

Tara was a very deserving winner she is such a lovely person and oozes charm, elegance and charisma from every pore.
She wasn't the finest singer but was by far the most entertaining and delightful to watch. It was Comic Relief after all and Tara is incredibly funny and entered the competition in the right spirit. She moved me to tears during several of her performances and I really wish her well, hopefully this experience will give her more confidence to believe in herself and develop her many talents to their maximum. With Tara and Trisha I could not have hoped for a better final! |

Tara won because she came across as a delightfully funny, warm, vulnerable and a very big hearted woman. She was incredibly entertaining to watch and melted our hearts. She never lost sight of the broader picture or allowed her ego to inflate disproportionately (unlike Colin) and constantly reminded us of the cause which this contest was in aid of. The final could not have been better balanced, Tricia had a lovely voice and Tara had personality and was fun to watch. Very sorry to hear about your father by the way.

Somebody may read that as desperateness in a negative way, but I don't. I just think that they didn't want to be humiliated that's all. Shaun appeared to show a lot of nerves in the academy in the VT clips, and Tricia appeared to show a lot of nerves on the night of performances where you could even detect nerves in her performance. I think both of them were very generous towards Tara. Shaun the night before the final appeared very humble and generous in his words about the final of Tara and Tricia, and I saw no sour grapes or jealousy, or anything of a negative nature. And likewise Tricia also showed a lot of support and warmth towards Tara. I think if there was any competitiveness on their part it was due to them competing with themselves and their inner demons and not wanting to show themselves up. I thought that they came across really well, did well in the end and are happy that Tara did so well. Last edited by Alrightmate : 17-03-2007 at 15:39. |

I think this time round Tara won because of a sympathy vote because she was portrayed as an interesting character.
After really enjoying Fame Academy, this was the first time I realised how bizarre and complicated the judging and voting criteria were. Ray went through on a sympthy vote for days, because of his sports fans i presume, when it was obvious he couldnt sing at all, Angelica and Zoe got through because they were sexy/attractive despite the fact that I thought they also couldnt sing..... whist someone like Mel who could sing and was funny was voted off fairly near the beginning... perhaps cos shes not all that well known. Colin who I have heard sing live on radio, picked strange songs for a R1 DJ... and let his nerves at performing live show... In fact all of them sounded much better on live streaming during rehearsals than on the performance itself. The judging was crazy and the voting order totally random... at least last time Edith could both sing and put together an entertaining performance. I dont think they should try and do it again. |
