We Thank You Very Sweetly - Over The Rainbow - Episode 17 BBC One

[@suky2211]

I was in the studio and saw this live - everyone was on their feet - even the judges - truly the best and she is so sweet !

[@Iluvmusic71]

I would like to meet Lauren she is very sweet girl

[@Casutama]

This was the best goodbye of the series, although there were many good ones. This was so flawless and effortless and beautiful... it was simply perfect.

[@Concerto86]

In terms of singing, Lauren was in another league to the other Dorothies, she really was faultless!

[@laurennorton3338]

She's just amazing omg! I swear she's also partially deaf? God singing must be really hard at times!!! Gosh she's amazing

[@gikss]

The best "Over the rainbow" in this competition !!!! Her voice is fantastic !!!

[@freckledghost3085]

The most fabulous way of eliminated on any tv show ever

[@valzanozalliardi]

she got something fabulous inside her that I cant describe... but she sing from the heart thats for sure

[@WickedFanJennii]

Beautiful, effortless and just WOW! Danielle was Dorothy for me, but Lauren was always in my top 3 favourites!

[@tuyetchi88]

After listening to all good-bye songs, including the official one by Danielle, this is still the only version I come back to again and again :)

[@mortycremwatch]

This is beyond outstanding. Charlotte really did her dirty calling her arrogant so early in the competition.

[@bunnyjanie]

I can’t stop rewatching this

[@tuyetchi88]

I think when I have children, I will play this version for them. This is truly sweet and gentle!

[@chelsiirvine8970]

Lauren did wonderful

[@liamwragg6860]

People heard this and thought damm we've done this wrong

[@CamilleCharriere]

Lauren you are so beautiful and talented!!! I hope all your dreams will come true!

[@dukesquidlian]

totally effortless. she's absolutely incredible

[@ca1.1um]

This performance was phenomenal! I stand by the decision to this day I loved Sophie but I personally think Lauren SLAYED HERE😍😍😍

[@garveroli]

i love her vocie!!

[@danholbrook7945]

I said at the time she was the Rachel Tucker of this season - and now she's Elphaba in Wicked on a national US tour! I enjoy being right ;)

[@MissCarissa21]

lauren is perfect for this!!! i am so thrilled for her. i don't understand why anyone would disagree. she hid her accent perfectly and acts the part SO well!

[@ningsariya]

im gonna cry when she sings the last sentence:(

[@thedailyquibbler7669]

Lauren was my favourite Shame she didn't win

[@suky2211]

Superb - thats all.... i can say

[@lareinetammy]

Lauren...WOW!!!!!!! Everything you have acted, sung or danced in this competition was FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!! I will go to see ANY West End show that you are in

[@suky2211]

@georgiehobson actually i saw her live and she was never a show aff (or even a show off)!! She was funny and kind. Do you know her personally then? - no I thought not!

[@BuckleyDiazClan]

Then a few years later playing Jules in Bend It Like Beckham :)

[@broadwaymike92]

Lauren's life in OZ never ended!!!! She's bringing her act to America!!! She's about to join the North American Tour of WICKED as "Elphaba"!!!

[@Averia89]

That moment you eliminate the girl who clearly should've won...

[@robertok4658]

laurens voice is just flawless. You would never tell the accent. Sophie and Danielle were good but lauren is perfection

[@gikss]

She's the real Dorothy for me !

[@roseschocolate1991]

i love the kinda joke Danielle and lauren had when lauren gave her shoes to danielle. shows how good friends they were. i always thought lauren had a brilliant voice, but didn't really like her much at the beginning and couldn't see her really as a dorothy . but later on in about week 6 i liked her more. actually felt sorry for her when she cried cause she had been in sing off like twice in a row.

[@SimplyErinful]

It’s been 10 years. I’m still mad.

[@justintaisenchoy]

oh my God that was awesome ! how hard must t be doing ng on a suspended bubble like that?

[@aerosnowu2]

WOAH, at first I was only watching Danielle's videos since she was the winner...but I think if I had I been able to vote I would have had a very tough time deciding

[@charlie-oc4460]

Can we please have more of these TV shows????

[@notnek011]

For some reason the public never warmed to Lauren. I thought she was in a different league to Sophie but I'm glad that Danielle won. The best leaving performance IMO

[@mattieeeeeeful]

Wow she is amazing.

[@thunderstormabbi]

i thik lauren will have a really good career soon

[@xseverusxxsnapex]

Love the face that Lauren pulls when she hands over the shoes to danielle! LOL

[@Dani49179]

I really didnt like her in the show i honestly didnt get her personality but she was amazing am so glad shes doing so well now!

[@14LAF]

flawless :)

[@KatieAckers]

Lauren is going to have one hell of a career ahead of her :)

[@jasperjung4441]

omg,marvellous

[@erinleinhert2267]

I feel like Stephane should have stayed longer she was amazing if I had to choose my top three it would be Sophie Stephane and Lauren and Lauren needs to play Mary Poppins

[@bg3101]

Why do I wanna cry?!

[@joelarama]

I have said this before and will say it again...Lauren should have won!! She will do well I know..I'm thinking Wicked..Les Mis, etc. She can sing all parts down to the casting Directors. Good speed Lauren.x

[@marky24601]

effortless - just superb

[@ShanghaiForever]

You go honey! From the first note she ever ing, she was my favorite... And that's true! I do think Danielle is the best Dorothy, but he didn't get me from her first note...

[@lynnwilson935]

I miss you Lauren

[@lynnwilson935]

From Sophie Wilson

[@naoshijjl]

Can BBC please change the title to Goodbye Lauren or Laure's Over The Rainbow as what this video is about? Her final performance is fabulous!

[@TheHughLundy]

I was going to say hopfully but I'll change it to certainly regular theatre goers will see Lauren for what she is. a marvellous talent & will pull in audiences to watch her in any show she chooses to grace. Not that i find anything wrong with her personality but maybe a public voting show wasn't the best place for her.

[@bingotheraccoon]

Dang she is GOOD!

[@suky2211]

@Blehickurgh I have to say that you really do need to get a life - to say you hate somebody you dont know is quite infantile and if you hate her singing then watch somebody else instead of coming on this site . Personally I think she was by far the best in the competition - amazing voice and a brilliant actor in all her songs and she could dance as well what more could ALW want

[@graceyanlam]

Lauren should've won

[@MusicLover9819]

*Cries* So sweet i didnt want her to go and aww at 1:55 to me this is is the best Farewell *Cries Again*

[@4minutewarning]

i think ALW will be thinking of getting her in one of his other top shows. i can see her in quite a few.

[@18150690]

lauren sang it beautiully

[@TonyTheTemplar]

She would have nailed to part as dorthy or anything west side play for that matter..........To bad she didnt win ...she seemed soo nice too

[@gsbstanley]

i She is the best by far......

[@brickbyboringbrick21]

That chest voice. WOW. :D

[@pianofry1138]

I think Steph was the most balanced singer/actor and Lauren was the best singer by a significant margin. I'm not quite certain why Danielle won.

[@spikeyhamster]

@unidan82 I completley agree!! I get really annoyed by this on the mp3 recording!

[@dukesquidlian]

@unidan82 ikr! And lauren made those notes look so effortless, which, tbf, probably were to her :)

[@barneylover2011ful]

Hi Danielle You Did Awesome Job On your Actress

[@jennifergilbert239]

She should have won!

[@WickedFanJennii]

This was fantastic. While Danielle was my fave, Lauren i felt, was far too talented for this show!! Her talent is incredible!

[@skingftl]

Was there a television talent contest for Mary Poppins?

[@shahlatona6768]

Yes, it was in The Netherlands

[@avitia9353]

Grace Hines THANK YOU lol I saw that to but I did not wanna pont it put

[@eml_x4349]

Not so cocky now are we?

[@avitia9353]

* pont it out *

[@maddierivers485]

I get Lea Michelle vibes. It’s probably the bangs but

[@hayleyjoyd]

Ahaha, Andrew is sooo pissed

[@girleees]

one of the hardest songs to sing cos it jumps octaves. she was great. sadly unlike the winner . l

[@unidan82]

Lauren was the only one who rightly belted out the last few notes... yes Sophie tried to but it was out of tune. I felt a bit cheated when Danielle switched to head voice for the last 2 notes.

[@doctorwhofan82]

is this the first time sophie hasn't cried through. i knew these three would be in the finale weeks ago but didn't think lauren would come third. i predicted sophie third, lauren second and danielle FIRST at least i got one right

[@charlieedelsten7174]

And this is why we should never leave it up to the public to vote for anything

[@LayHab]

I CAN SEE THAT ONDERWEAR FROM LAUREN HAHAH 0:44

[@dexterhenderson1509]

we all got welp

[@gsbstanley]

@WickedFanJennii She is the best by far......

[@lareinetammy]

@lisalilsmartass I agree

[@Dani49179]

Shes a good singer but im so glad she didnt win yea shes doing well and will continue to but dorothy wasnt the role for her she just oozes this personality which didnt fit and wasnt innocent enough imo!

[@MrDefyinggravity1]

GUTTED LAUREN WENT but i still think sophie should have won

[@billydeeuk]

Why do the endings of these shows always seem like cult sacrifices? Particularly "any dream will do"

[@katherineshore]

Juju

[@larsonlunatic]

robbed

[@beckiangel2010]

she was not a nice girl

[@beckiangel2010]

she might have a good voice but everything else about this girl is awful!! such a vile character!! very arrogant.
