How do you solve a problem like Maria - Top 5 Aoife

[placeboeffect2004]

I think Aoife did her very best with this song, but it was a dreadful choice from whoever picked it! The routine reminds me of an exercise video. Connie, Siobhan, Helena and Abi all had sexy/beautiful routines, so I think this set up Aoife at a disadvantage.

[sade888]

I agree- the others did have an advantage. She had a lot to do in this one!

It helped her in the long run though. You seen her in Legally Blonde with her first routine?- super!

[Rowan07001484]

Ok they gave her this dumb song so close to the final, no bloody wonder she was in the bottom 2. No exuse I know, but still.

[piccolo256]

Why can't they choose their songs and performances by themselfs?? In other countries the contesters can!! x

[auuggghhh]

@piccolo256

Probably because if they picked their own songs, they would only ever pick songs they know makes them sound good. The judges want to see what they'll do with challenges and with different types of songs.

Can Aoife dance? Can Helena make me cry? Can Leanne be quirky and playful? Questions that might never have been answered if they picked their own songs.

[RENThead12]

LOVE Aoife!! I thought she did very well in this (then again I have a hard time finding fault with her, shes so great!) She's an amazing dancer as well. xx

[henrik1n]

I think Aoife should recieve some credit for this performance, no one can blame her for trying! This song is not very suited for a soprano, but she does sing it well.

I wonder wheter the BBC decided that they could not have an Irish Maria, and therefore gave her this completely inappropriate song. As well as being a boy's song there is far to much dansing for Aoife.

[Frickis]

that´s a boy song not a song for a girl

[broadgirl]

great dancers

[jebba95]

I think this was my fave performence of the whole series!!!!! Helena had a big forehead!!!!!

[JunkE4Theatre]

honestly--she rocked this because she is a girl and this is a MANS song. so kuddos

[xxgingerbearxx]

wow....that wasnt particuly great but thats was because she was having to jump about so i think it was unfair!! =]

[reluctantteen]

its called footloose!

[tiptopgolfy]

i just met aoifes sister lisa and she is gorgeous amd equally as talented

[Amiie0x]

i think she handled this well! was brilliant!

[peprilen]

Footlose

[StellaB1991]

I thought it was ever so unfair to give her this song, so much dancing, and all the others are getting lifted and stuff, but they're not having to jump around the stage! It must have been so difficult! It didn't show her off enough on this show, she had much more potential than we were shown as an audience.

xxStellaxx

[musicalgirl07]

i 2 think it was un fair to make her do all that dancing. She should have got through rather then helena.

[StellaB1991]

Oh, I don't know, I liked Helena in the final! Now Shobian I would have been glad to see go... I'm not a fan of hers.

xxStellaxx

[musicalgirl07]

oh i love siobhan (not shobian lol)! She went to my school and is so lovely. Shes doin really well now in Grease shes been playin sandy loads recently lol! Go Siobhan! Plus, i didn't like helena's expressions.

[StellaB1991]

Well, she may be a really nice person, I just wasn't keen on her, that's all. And Helena got loads better as the series went on.

xxStellaxx

[scootyscoot4]

Yeah I think she did too, but I think everybody got better as the series went on to be honest, I think the biggest improvements were Siobhan and Helena though;

Siobhan - She grew in confidence and general performance.

Helena - Some amazing vocals just came from nowhere!

[Inobsession]

I think aoife will probably do some film or tv next, her straight acting is really absolutly stunning. ALthough I must say nowadyas so is her voice, jus effortlessly beautiful

[Chiquitita1994]

well i'm goinf to see wiked on the 31st may, so i will see if i still think aoife cud star in it i will tell u

[Chiquitita1994]

no, i believe she could handle a lead in wiked if she really put her mind to it, only 6, maybe 4 shows a week tho, if she had 2 much strain on her, then ther wud be no hope in wiked!!!

[thelastunicorn13]

aoifes great..

have seen her as both maria and roxie

shes beyond great..MUCH better than on the maria show..her acting facial expressions and voice!

[Chiquitita1994]

thats harsh, aofie wasn't maria, she would be better suited in something like wicked!

[FrexspartheGodly]

Aoife in Wicked? Personally, I don't think she would be able to do Wicked. The leads are two of the most demanding roles in the West End! Having said that, I do like Aoife, and I think she has a promising career ahead of her.

[xGangOfOnex]

disagree aoife is and was perfect for maria. seen both Connie and Aoife as Maria and Aoife is better.

[runnerkat]

I thought that too! Aoife was amazing!

[xGeM1x]

i love this song and her, she rocks!! cant believe connie won:@:@

[twinkletoes019]

I was looking for this, she is so great ! I had just been to see footloose when I watched this ! Lol !

[mercutio843]

SO impressive!! I dont actually remember Aoife doing this song, but at the moment Im wondering HOW i dont remember, she's AMAZING in it, that dancing would be hard enough to do on its own let alone while having to sing!!

[sw3nick]

this is great

[thelastunicorn13]

and to sing like that whist dancing aroud, brilliant

fantastic aoife you are a star

[xGangOfOnex]

Aoife was NOT crap in fact none of the final 10 were crap they were all extremly talented. This was such a hard song for her to do plus her microphone wasn't working, she did the best she good and she pulled it off well. Connie never had songs that stretched her like that.

[AbiFinleyFan]

lol, my uncles gay. Your 14, your friends probly arent gay thier probly just unshore about themselves, kids can get like that. AND have you noticed since Mulderlvscully has told us the truth, thecomplainer hasn't returned ?

[hannathespanna]

Can EVERYONE just stop it? If you look back on this it looks so childish. If you want to argue, do it somewhere else, coz this ain't the place to be calling each other gay. Oh, and what's so wrong aboput being gay? I'm not gay, but I have lots of friends who are, and are the most lovly people you could ever want to meet.

[AbiFinleyFan]

Thank you, see Complainer some one is backing me.

[mulderlvscully4ever]

Hey "TheComplainer" you know "AFF" is right you are a gaylord. I know coz you asked my boyfriend on a date, so stop being such a hypocrite.

[AbiFinleyFan]

what the fuck are you on about,my best friend died in a crash earlier on in the year, you might think it's funny but it aint, he was my best friend, you probly dont know how it feels because you dont even have any friend. Also i'm not "in love with abi" I'm "in love" with my boyfriend.

[TheComplainer]

minidyke... so tell me about your best friend, who probably killed him/herself when you admitted you were in love with Abi?

[AbiFinleyFan]

so do i, but it's not me who's causing all of this it's the gaylord "TheComplainer"

[laserhq]

u are amazingley immature for 13,and if i was abi i definateley wouldnt want a fan like you!plus if my best friend died i wouldnt go talking about it on youtube just to win an argument....

[EmzBabii]

I'm going to actually comment on the video. Unlike people here. I thought that was really good, I really love this when Aoife sings it =]

[TheComplainer]

pmsl yeah you remind me of that little fucker in The Shining pmsl....bet you have the same haircut and all mini dyke!

[AbiFinleyFan]

How can I be a shit stirrers best friend when my best friend is dead.

[aoifemulhollandfan]

AFF Just take it love you are the one whos making it worse i swear just go and hav a wank over Abi or summit, the video is of Aoife. Cya xxx

[TheComplainer]

says the mini dyke who calls anyone she hates a spaz?

keep it up, the more you do the more you ruin the video, you are a sh*t stirrers best friend I tell you!

By the way love, close your legs cos your breath smells.

pmsl

[AbiFinleyFan]

*clapping* Well done your comments are getting better and better, or do i mean CRAPPER and CRAPPER !!! Ok, so your not gay, your just bi, if you know what that means, as your not very intelligent are you =-)

[TheComplainer]

yeah thats her trouble, AMF lol

[aoifemulhollandfan]

F*CKLOOSE

[TheComplainer]

AFF I'd never let a whore such as yourself near MY muff!

[AbiFinleyFan]

wot am i getting at !!! lol, your so obsessed with gay's, i'm starting to think your gay !!! Are you ?

;-)

[TheComplainer]

What are you getting at?

[AbiFinleyFan]

Sure, Fine, Whatever. believe what you like. I have friends which are girls, but the majority of my friends are BOYS. So go why dont you and your boyfriend stop trying to carry on this vendetta and go away ;-]

[TheComplainer]

Of course you don't care about what I think....neither does your girlfriend!

[AbiFinleyFan]

no, dont you listen to anything ? I said i'm not gay, i am VERY happy with my BOYFRIEND, i love him, he loves me. So i dont really care what you think. =-)

[TheComplainer]

....with your girlfriend pmsl

[AbiFinleyFan]

I dont have a girlfriend actually, you might be gay but it doesnt mean i'm gay, I'm very happy with my boyfriend, we have a great time together ;-)

[TheComplainer]

Does your girlfriend know you have a boyfriend AFF?

:-)

[AbiFinleyFan]

Sorry did i not make it clear, i don't fancy you, i have a boyfriend. And for the record i dont have a beak, and if i did it owuldnt smell. So you AND connie4maria can both bugger off cant you ?

[TheComplainer]

AFF shut your stinkin beak! Its ok Connie4Maria, at least you know she doesnt fancy you!

[AbiFinleyFan]

connie4maria - Bugger off, your the one who's sad for trying to argue with me.

[thelastunicorn13]

aoife is wonderful

[connie4maria]

no i'm not.

[AbiFinleyFan]

Your havin' a laugh !!!

[connie4maria]

abifinalyfan u r very immature and stuck up ur own arse so will u just GET A LIFE! who cares if u play piano or are on stage! i don't dats 4 sure

[AbiFinleyFan]

I Make No Sense !!! You should look at the crap you type.

=-)

[TheComplainer]

Eh? lmao you make no sense whatsoever child! See what I mean AMF? She loves me really ;-)

[AbiFinleyFan]

Yeah actually, you haven't shown yourself about here for ages have you, why could that be ?

:-)

[TheComplainer]

Spoiling for another arguement are we AFF?

She might not be crap....but alot of her performances were ;-)

[AbiFinleyFan]

I know she aint !!!

[aoifemulhollandfan]

:O she aint crap!

[AbiFinleyFan]

i can, "the complainer" insulted aoife and said she was crap, something along those lines.

;-)

[aoifemulhollandfan]

I bet you can't remember how the argument started?

[AbiFinleyFan]

Yeah thnx i'm showing i'm 13 usually people have to tell me to act my age !!!

[aoifemulhollandfan]

You're showing your age now!

[AbiFinleyFan]

Cant people stop trying to end our argument ? I like arguing with "the complainer" Dont you ? :-)

[TheComplainer]

Oh just for you becety..!

Actually I felt sorry for Aoife in the performance you mentioned....its not easy for any newcommer to pull that one off, after Shirley its hard for even seasoned performers to make it look as brilliant

[becety]

you two please, this comment board is not for arguing it's for commenting on Aoife's performance!! Anyway, this is my fave performance of her this and if my friends could see me now

[aoifemulhollandfan]

*yawns*

[TheComplainer]

I'm glad, your inability to never let this go (like me!) means you will become a cpmplainer like me! Although you still would have no chance at spotting talent when you see it, unlike myself I might add pmsl.

[AbiFinleyFan]

yeah, i'm enjoying listening to a imature adult like you trying to argue with a child, trust me, i will never let this go, because your right, i'm enjoying it.

[TheComplainer]

What vendetta? lmao keep it going love, I get the feeling we are both enjoying this equally!

[AbiFinleyFan]

omg, your so sad. You were the one who started this damn vendetta. It's not that hard to ignore my comments is it ?

[TheComplainer]

I cannae help it amf, if someone wants to drag me down to their level....I try my hardest NOT to resist lol.

[aoifemulhollandfan]

Jeez, how old are you two? Anyway, as for the video, yeah,very talented, gutted she went out :( I thought she pulled this song off very well. Love her =]

[AbiFinleyFan]

No,I think you'll find i do not have shit in my ears, oh sorry your not aloud to swear are you. I will say it politely then ok?I don't have poo is my ears.That better? Now Bugger Off :-D

[TheComplainer]

Certainly...

You may have stars in your eyes but you have sh*t in your ears ;-)

[AbiFinleyFan]

Oh no, it's gone bed time, damn it. Don't you realise that people my age dont go to bed at early times like 9 o'clock anymore. They might have in your day but not in mine. And i dont play the triangle, i play the guitare and the piano. Also, i'm in a chior and a band.

Beat that.

[TheComplainer]

Why do you keep responding to my comments more to the point? I guess pretending to be any good at singing and pretending to hate my comments (rather than ignoring them) gives you something better to do than the triangle in music class eh?

You remind me of a wannabe in the Kids From Fame...yo will never make it, all ou are good for is entertaining us all with your strops!

Its a school night hunny, you better get yourself to bed and dream on.

Don't let the bed bugs bite!

[AbiFinleyFan]

do you no how much i'm laughing, coz your so funny, and i have been in quite a few shows in theatre. And i'm still going to listen to all these video's i'm not going to "swoon" over anyone. And if you dont like Aoife, why do you keep coming onto her video's ? :-)

[aoifemulhollandfan]

Go you.

[TheComplainer]

FFS AFF (now that has a ring to it) get over the fact that you were wrong and tone deaf!

I have not had a go at anyone going far in life.... I dont think Abi will get much further than the front page of Diva magazine....but hey if the cheeky girls can make it, you might be in luck! So it isnt all bad, I'm sure you will find another girl to swoon aver next ;-)

[AbiFinleyFan]

oh, crap i'm so scared, what is mummy going to come after me with her handbag ?

[SexiMinx87]

Love this performance. Fully obsessed with her she's amazing.

[TheComplainer]

I'm going to tell my mum on you lmao

[AbiFinleyFan]

why don't you just bugger off, and go "complain" about some one else and not people who are getting far in life, because your not getting far in life,your on Youtube all the time, and that explains what kind of person you are, a sad, petty, lowlife.

[TheComplainer]

You are as mistaken with your view on my life as you are with Abi's singing. Do go back to the playground and when you get home watch Hollyoaks. Stick to what you know best ;-)

[Inobsession]

she so deserved to be a finalist

[AbiFinleyFan]

you would be glad wouldnt you, you spaz

[TheComplainer]

Congratulations on writing the word Wouldnt (although it SHOULD be (not shud b) wouldn't instead of Wudnt and you instead of u. In the next couple of years you might even learn to tie shoe laces AbiFinleyFan. ;-)

[TheComplainer]

I'm so glad Connie won! lol

[CelticClaire]

Aoife was brillant The Complainer your doin mah head in can you please say something positive

[TheComplainer]

She wasnt up to the grade, get over it.

[rachelhepburn]

omg i dont know what you mean, she was amazing.. of course she was capable of more.. she wouldnt have got that far if people didnt like her...for gods sake.

[TheComplainer]

Not have auditioned lol

[everythinglesmis]

Ugh, I was so angry when she was put in the sing off against Siobhan. That was the one thing I had assured myself wouldn't happen. I was so certain the finale 3 would be Aoifa, Siobhan and Connie. Although if Connie had been out instead, that would have been even better.I blame Helena, why did she have to go and be GOOD?!

[TheComplainer]

They BOTH were crap, and you can take any offence you want ;-)

[AbiFinleyFan]

TheComplainer - wot dya mean by "no offence" u sed she was crap. I thought she was really gd and i also thought abi was brilliant

[SexiMinx87]

I wanted her to win! I love her i think shes amazing. So the rite maria :( Gutted shes out.

[thecatonthemoon]

I think it was so unfair ALW gave her this song! How could she prove her vocal skills with this? Especially compared to what the rest of the girls had! She proved her worth in 'Don't Cry For Me Argentina'. ALW made a massive mistake.

[RexImperator]

she was great :( HELENA HAS GOT TO GO

[scootyscoot4]

I'm glad Siobhan went through but it was sad to lose Aoife!

[geogchick]

TheComplainer...what more could she have done? I thought this was fantastic!

[TheComplainer]

Thats the thing, she couldnt have done any more, she isnt capable. No offence, but she doesnt cut it.

[geogchick]

Complainer perhaps she isn't capable of more....but what more SHOULD she have done then?

[TheComplainer]

Crap performance as usual!

[thecatonthemoon]

Great considering she had the hardest song to sing by far!

[sarie13]

well done aoife

[pronetopanic]

It was fantastic. She is so beautiful and the great thing is that she doesn't realise it! I felt so bad for her and Abi - they are adorable together! A complete injustice!

[RexImperator]

Amen she is stunningly beautiful, and so humble and kind
