I have to agree. Some of them were pretty awful though. I have to admit I do like the "Fame Academy on BBC THREE" program, as it follows through rather nicely with interviews with the judges, professionals in the field, etc...

And, shortly, are going to give sneek previews to the next six to perform.

Watching "Big Brother 4, the X Factor" (tag lines suck...) and Fame Academy at the same time may really drive me insane.

But nm

Guess who miss BBC 3 !!

"and Fame Academy at the same time may really drive me insane." NO CONTEST!!

So it's Louise, Alistair, Carolynne and Gary i was hoping it would be them

I thought Ladonna had the best voice by about 2 miles. Why did she not get in?

Sad to say it, but the culture of "Black and Fat" isn't particularly accepted within the mainstream of the UK social thinking.

Sucks, doesn't it? But that's the world over for you.

Oh well, can't change that. This is something that worries me, with the fact C4 are obliged to take a disabled contestent into the BB house next year, as they'll be either voted out first... or win via a sympathy vote. A problem that I wish didn't exist with society, but alas, it does.

Do C4 definitely have to take someone with a disabliity then next year?

I was STUNNED Ladonna didn't get in, and so were the judges. She was the stand out artist in the group. Her voice gave me goose-pimples.

She had a incredibly difficult song and gave a flawless and stunning performance. It wasn't an Aretha song, it was her sister Irma's, and every bit as challenging.

I knew that weak and average lad who sang first would get through on the strength of his looks, and that's what happened. The other two girls, particularly the last one were good, Alistair was hmmm.

Let's hope there is a chance to vote in one of the best losers. Poor Ladonna, she got such positive comments from the judges as well.

[peachy]

I found it shocking that she didn't get in! As you say it smacks of racism and
size-ism. I think I was the only one who voted for her. perhaps it was also Brummie-ism.

I find lately that no one likes the Brummie accent, which upsets me somewhat as I have a slightly modified version of it!

No Peachy, as soon as the lines opened I voted for LaDonna as well. I thought she was the only one with real star quality, her voice was fantastic, and even though she started off a bit shaky, you could tell that she had potential.

Hopefully she won't let this get to her and she'll continue in her quest to be a star!

Life sucks at times......


I too would have chosen the first 3 Students particularly No. 7, but no way would I have chosen Gary. Yes, very pretty, but very mediocre. Ladonna should have got a place for potential and voice. I didn't think she gave a faultless performance, but who would expect that at this stage. However, she has certainly got what it takes, it just needs developing.

I look forward to seeing them all 'grow'.


Maybe FA should consider making the final choice from all the 'potentials' who didn't get through their round. A last chance stand......Just a thought .

[Maggie]

I also think Ladoona should have got in, maybe they should have left it that the teachers pick them and the public just vote for the last one to go in the house, this way we might just end up with lookers with not much of a voice.

As for Louise, great voice, but she is already a proven hit song writer with at least one number 1 hit, if she wants to become a singer she will already have plenty of contacts in the music industry. I think the show should be about new talent and her place should have gone to someone else.

How right you are Maggie. I quite agree I would have preferred to see a complete unknown given the chance to have the training given by Fame Academy - not someone who is already well known in the music world.

[Boris]

I must have missed something.

I didn't realise Louise had written a hit song. I just thought she had been trying her hand at it like a number of other young hopefuls.

[BusyBee]

They definitely said she had written a No. 1. Dont know what it was though. Anyone know.

[James]

I can answer that one. Haven't seen this show yet though.

It's Sound of the Underground however she didn't really write it. She was in the original group that sang it - it was written by someone else.

When Girls Aloud recorded it apparently all they did was delete the original voices from the mix and then sing over the backing music.

Did they mention that she is F1 driver Jenson Button's girlfriend?

Several times!

They also showed pictures of her with him .

An interesting news article from BBCi News, detailing some of the public's "issues" with FA2

All this in the above has put me off a bit, I do think Fame should be for complete newcomers, I'll still watch for a while, prob get hooked again, shame though, they always have to mess with things

[James]

At least the ones who have record deals should be able to sing.

Maybe they selected them because last year's initial shows were quite heavily criticised.

[Amy]

Great show again tonight
I think Peter, Renata, James and Audley will get through!

[Maggie]

It now turns out that 9 of the 25 have contacts and contracts with Music Companys.
Ok so they might be able to sing, but the whole point Fame is to take raw talent and teach them

[Di2001]

Hubby and I have voted for James. Thought he was very good.
