I like Reggie too Amy. I like also Devra, Kim,Edith

[Dan_]

Debra was poor last night. Reggie, Edith or Kim to win.

[BusyBee]

I so want Edith to win. She has overcome her sore throat (passed it on to me) and is back to being first class. She has a different voice and there is no acting or so called emotion - just a good song, sung really well. I havent voted yet, but if she is there on the final night then I think I might be using the telephone to make my vote count for her. If not her then I would like Reggie to win - he has so come on. Would be lovely to have someone win who is not known to be a singer.

[BigSister]

Yay Reggie stayed. dawn went out

[Dan_]

Glad Regi stayed as he is coming on leaps and bounds every night. I felt Dawn had been going down hill.

[BigSister]

Debras gone tonight

[Lance]

Cant eblieve that debra has gone...reggie is terrible,she should have stayed but big up edith eh?

Shes a corker!

[Amy]

I like Reggie ok he can't sing but he's lovely, was shocked Debra went though as she was very good!

[BusyBee]

I loved the Adrian and Edith duo last night - so cleverly thought out and very entertaining which is what the show is all about. Got a feeling that Kim thinks she has it won already.

Got a feeling the last three will be Adrian, Edith and Kim although I would love Reggie to go through - he really has come on and has a fantastic sense of humour refusing to take himself too seriously.

[Mike]

Debra should have stayed in for looks alone, no seriously i was shocked to see her go because i thought she was better than Reggie..

[Dan_]

Debra did sound like a little girl. I am glad Reggie stayed as he is a cool guy and is ever improving, almost there with my top 3 that I have wanted for over a week now. Kim to win as her perfomance of that Norah Jones song was outstanding! She has improved a lot and last night she was fab.

[BigSister]

Reggie went last night

[Amy]

Edith won and I'm glad in a way but both her and Kim were very good last night so well done to Edith!

[Amy]

And the winner is... Edith!
11 March 2005

Edith is the winner of Fame Academy after 10 days of performances and drama and a nail-biting finale with Kim.

After Adrian had been voted out in the semi-final, Edith and Kim had to perform a new song each.

Edith triumphed to wild applause from the judges, teachers, fellow students and the studio audience with Champagne Supernova.

Richard Park enthused, "You've done yourself proud." Lesley agreed, "At last we see Edith where she belongs, bashing it out with a big band."

It's been a rollercoaster ride for all concerned in the Fame Academy with each contestant feeling the pressure at some point. But, as the show drew to its climax, the remaining students began to realise more and more how much money their efforts were raising for Comic Relief.

Edith had won universal acclaim throughout the show for her superb singing and all round performances with the judges often unanimous in their praise for her efforts.

Sometimes overcome by how valuable her efforts were for Comic Relief, the radio 1 DJ was always the consummate professional on stage.

For giving us 10 days of wonderful tunes, Edith, we salute you and Congratulations!

An amazing 8.25 million votes were received during the series, raising a whopping 1.3 million for Comic Relief.

I thought that Kim should have won but am happy for Edith.

[cc100]

edith was the best. do you think she'll release a single?

[Dan_]

No I think she will stick to her day job.

[Arneldo]

EDITH WON ... YEAY YEAY YEAY ... EDITH WON ... WOOOOOOOO .

[BigSister]

I dont think she will but you never know?

[BusyBee]

Why not - she has as good a voice as many others out there making singles. Though perhaps more likely to produce an album. So glad she won.

[Dan_]

She has a fairly good voice. Not good enough to become a recording artist, people should stick to what they know and for her it's presenting.
