I think more people would be into Fame Academy if it was promoted properly. As far as I am concerned the BBC have lost the chance to make a success of it, because they are not showing it often enough on terrestrial tv. If it was on each evening at a specific time people would get into it. I've been watching on satellite and it shows a much better viewpoint of them than you ever see on the ordinary shows.

I think your totally right

why don;t they show more eps like BB, there is so much happening they can't fit in.


They record all thurs and Fri but show nothing of it

What can I say!!!

Love it love it love it !!!!

Totally agree!!

How do we feel it compares to BB1, which was their first effort???

Shame there is no live streaming on the NET!!!!!!!:elephant:

Hi
The show tonight is great! and ainslie and david were great!!!!! :laugh: and
Pippa was imo the worst of the 3
and Nigel was fantastic!! :dance:
i can see..
Nigel being saved
and the vote going to wards Katie!
:hugesmile:

Well done, bbceleb, you got it all 100% correct.

The show WAS fabulous. I didn't think there was a poor performance by anyone but I think Nigel really shone and well deserved to win tonight.

:hello::dance::hello::dance::hello::dance:

So our Katie did it again. See you cant get rid of us Bristolians that easy :hugesmile::hugesmile:

Seriously I thought she did very well tonight, but I still hate how the students have to vote one off.

Wonder who'll be on probation again.

As I've said before the Paul Clarke syndrome strikes again. Up three times and kept in three times.

She's sure made of rubber is our Katie - she keeps bouncing back.

I think Nigel deservedly won the public vote - he sang really well. It was a close call between Pippa and Katie but I, personally, would have gone with Pippa, purely for all the effort she's put in over the last couple of weeks. I agreed with Carrie - Katie is only NOW at the stage the rest of them were at 3 or 4 weeks ago. They've moved on and she hasn't progressed.

She's very lucky to still be there and I felt so sorry for Nigel who had the casting vote.

Thanks Miriam! :dance:
I think Lemar will be grade A next week.,
and i think Katie Malachi and Marli will be on probation next week
just my 2 cents! :hugesmile:

What a great show, i really enjoyed it :thumbs:
I loved Ainslie and Davids preformance and Lemar and Lionel what can you say but :shocked: it was fab!!:thumbs:
Nigel did well and Katie has improved :thumbs:

I'd like to see Lemar as grade A again although i think David deserves it too!
I think we could see Malachi on probation

:wavey:

Not quite as good as BB1, That picture makes me sooo nostaglic - but a good BB version - and they are talented

As it was my first foray into reality ( HATE THE GENERALISATION ! ) I shall always love the BB1 series. Fame Academy is brilliant as the next generation of the format as it has a point apart from being purely an entertainment programme. Its the direction Channel 4 SHOULD have taken for BB3, so WELL DONE the Beeb!!!:colour:

So what time do they find out today who's up and who's star pupil ? :conf:

Welcome back :thumbs: Stowfordpress

As for Lional :dance: WONDERFUL :dance:, Then he is one of my fav's, great in concert :love:

David is grade A this week :hello::hello::hello:

marli, malachi and katie (again, im startin to feel sorry for her now!) on probation!

Ainslie has a dilemma on his hands with malachi and marli now! although, im sure one of them will be saved so he will vote the other one.

please, out katie out of her misery this week people!!!

oh and this weeks ratings were 5.9million, thats up from 5.1m last week, people r beginning to get hooked! and realising how fabby it really is!

Marli will receive the public vote methinks, and Katie the students.

Bye Bye Malachi........................

Well thats what I reckon:colour:

Hey I'm starting to get into this now. :thumbs:

I was going to watch it on BBC Choice last night but forgot. :laugh:

I can't really see the point of having the students have the final say on who stays in. At least make the voting anonymous like in Big Brother.

On Friday Katie will probably win the students vote again because she is the youngest contestant and the others maybe vote tactically, voting off the strongest competition (but hide their true reason).

Malachi will probably get the public vote although he was a bit dull last Friday.

I'm not sure about Ainslie either. He's probably talented but it looks like he's attention seeking in the Academy to a certain degree.

Malachi will win the public vote, and lord knows what the students will do. Particularly with, as Carrie says Nigel's tactical voting (and others) I hope Marli stays though. Its time for Katie to go!

I certainly agree with you Fyodor, I really want Katie to go now. I don't think that in a contest between Malachi and katie that the students will vote Malachi off. I certainly hope not. He is very funny in the academy and very popular. He is lovely and not at all creepy as someone said on this thread. Keep Malachi in I say.

When I first saw Fame Academy, I thought that Marli was absouklutely brilliant and I thought she would win with flying colous but thenhen I think about it again, shes not all that good. She is unique but there are better singers in the academy. I think she thinks she is better than she is because she looked really shocked to be up for probation.
I still really like Lemar and I like Ainsley. I want Katie out of there!:dazzler:

I must admit that I have never thought much of Malachi. He doesn't impress me in the slightest.

However, I really think it is time Katie goes, how she has survived the last few weeks I really don't know.

I hope Marli stays because I still really like her.

If Malachi was up against anyone else I would want him to go, but even he is better than Katie.

:flower:

As I seem to be the only one sticking up for Katie on this forum (as I've said before I'm biased and yes I do know she has no chance of winning). If they are now saying she is where the others were four weeks ago i.e. at the begining why on earth was she selected in the first place, surely they had better candidates. I thought it was really wrong how Carrie asked Nigel if he was voting tactically when he voted Katie in. She knows they are on tv and she along with the other teachers are trying to influence the voting. Sorry but I dont think she should have told Marli who voted for her to be on probation either. To my mind Katie is improving, but Marli is certainly going downhill fast. Nigel has also gone up in my estimation, he's a really nice guy.

This week I have a feeling Malachi will win the public vote, but as for the other two not sure. They have tried to get rid of her, but they cant do it - who will survive we just have to wait and see.

I'm slowly getting into this show.

The website isn't bad:
:xyxwave:

Mariah Carey is in the academy.

Do you think that she will be getting some voice coaching?

:laugh:

That is good they have got Mariah - she has got one heckava voice and can reach one of the highest notes ever. She should point them in the right direction.:thumbs:

Hi
Im soooo loving this show! its brilliant!! :dance:

:laugh::laugh::laugh:

:thumbs:

I think Malachi will get the public vote - the song he's singing really suits his voice and I think the students will vote to keep Marli. I think it's definitely bye bye to Katie this week.

BTW - Mariah Carey!!!

Fame Academy
 

At first I wasn't that impressed with Fame Academy. I do not have interactive access and as we did not see any of the audition process I didn't feel that the audience could 'bond' with the contestants in the same way as Pop Stars / Pop Idol. I also felt (for the same reason) that the contestants were a bit 'stage school', which is quite appropriate as that's what they are in now!

However, as it has been on for a few weeks I do now really enjoy it. I think it would be better for people without interactive access if they could so a nightly update like BB - it could be late or on BBC2.

I like most of the contestants now - expected Katie to go on Friday rather than Marli but people probably felt sorry for her. She is good but she won't win anyway. I can't decide between Lemarr, David or Ainsley. Also like Sinead.

As for Mariah Carey - wasn't she miming?! I've never really taken much notice with the other celebs but am sure she was.

Finals tomorrow

Can't wait

:elephant::hello::elephant::hello::elephant:

Oh how I miss Fame Academy.:bawling:

I'm also sooo frightened about BB4 and how bad it might just be this year.:bawling:

Not that I'm a sad git or anything!!!!!!!!:laugh:

Me too Splodge, old chum. I blame you for my withdrawal symptoms...if only you hadn't told me how to get the interactive to work, I wouldn't be missing them so much now.:bawling:

You have much to answer for Mr Splodge:xyxwave:

I have to admit that when Fame Academy first started i thought it was rubbish :shocked::shocked: but once i started to watch the live streaming and saw how hard they worked i was addicted :thumbs: I too am missing the show and can't wait for FA2 oh, and Celeb FA :thumbs:

Has anyone else seen this??
