How do you solve a problem like Maria Top 7 - Siobhan

[AlfieTobutt]

She looks like Taylor Swift

[pcp1980]

@AlfieTobutt Taylor Swift is nothing compared to this lovely specimen

[ajudeit1]

Singing from the heart - just beautiful!

[placeboeffect2004]

This was really fantastic. I think she struggled a little bit around 1:15 because she got quite emotional, but then that's part of the song!

[KathyCP]

Shes awesome

[Dramionelover101]

It's just beautiful!!! i keep replaying it i hope she puts on her album!! x and she's local to me

[andigunn]

This was one of those moments when a person sings the best in their life and I am so pleased to have witnessed it. If she has a DVD out I would so buy it.

[Dramionelover101]

@andigunn an album us coming out this year apparently

[lovebird636]

well i'm american and my grandma introduced this show to me, i just fell in love with her from the beginning and it's a shame she didn't beat helena, but just overjoyed connie is maria

[starwars60]

I'm American aswell and I was so excited when I saw this and I just couldn't stop watching it (: I was dissapointed when she was voited off and Abi aswell ):

[Robsquidser]

So, i'm american and i just happpened to stumble on the BBCA station and heard Siobhan sing this and I cried instantly when she hit score at 0:53. I wish she won though :(

[UltimateJoolsFan]

oh my gosh, that was so beautiful and soft and entrancing. I really love her and Connie both.

[thawiifeychiick]

she plays patty in grease now

[whufc4ever]

she's gorgeous

[brunettedestiny07]

It's sa shame she didn't get to sing a longer version of this song. Beautiful song and she sang it perfectly.

[pingadom]

what a beatiful young woman with an amazing voice...it feels almost hypnotized

[sasssysarah]

She is absolutely amazing. She means every word of this song with all her heart

[teamsophia]

I love this so much. She's extremely talented.

[AureliaVictoria]

she should have won. i didnt like connie that much... ah well.

[kellieealice]

same lol (:

[bigbird25059815]

This was wonderful & she should have won!

[penguinfaceofdoom]

wasnt it for a dead relative or something?

[JudyJinglesLikesJell]

her grandma i think

[StellaB1991]

Does anyone else think she was a bit glazed during this?

xxStellaxx

[childofdestiny]

Wow. Beautifully sung..and to quote the creepy david ian- she is really serene and captivating to watch! really is stunning- vocally/visually.

[c00m8zy]

i saw her at a cricket match

[IloveLeeMead001]

goddd. brought a tear to my eyes =]

hmm she and lee mead should go out =]

i would love to meet her and get her signature ! how cool would that be !

[musicalgirl07]

i've got her signature lol!

[loulouhj26]

i love siobhan !! she was always amazing !!

[Chaffinch4]

Beautifully sang. I wonder what the judges said?

[WestEndRose]

You can see what they said if you search Siobhan Songbird Judges in the search bar. Siobhan has a beautiful voice, she brought tears to John Barrowman's eyes and Zoe's eyes. John said to her "You are leading this competition now, you have won me over and you could be my leading lady any day baby, you so could."

[brunettedestiny07]

I think she has a better voice than Connie Fisher.

[Amiie0x]

she has a more sensual voice.. whereas connie's fitted well to the maria role.

[andybeales1]

my fav performance of the whole contest!

[rugbyrules101]

i would have to agree on that

[Rachael1652]

shes brilliant!!!

[JMOR27]

turns out one of her songs on her cd WILL be "Songbird" i cant wait!

[samjhart]

How do u know?

[JMOR27]

her profile on wikipedia, it might not be true, but i trust it.

[samjhart]

Ok. Thanks! X

[crluvalotbear]

does anyone know what the judges said about this?

[KINDxGEVAL]

I'm sorry if I ask this qeustion for the hundred time, but does anybody know the name of the song, sorry for my bad english i'm from holland:P

[theatrebeauty]

It's called songbird by eva cassidy x

[Lucilon]

Well, I was just gonna say that I think that was put up on that Myspace page at the end of last year, so they meant this year.

[samjhart]

Really?! Wohoo! *hugs & kisses*. Thanks so much for making day!! (Next time I'm gonna read the article page more carefully!)

[samjhart]

Actually I did some looking around. I found out that she is recording currently. She even went to New York. The deal is with Polydor & its all on her offical myspace. The album is meant to be coming out next year

[samjhart]

The best performance of the series hands down. I hope this songs on her album

[Nellbotnellbob]

Please please someone tell me, when is the album coming out?!

[samjhart]

Not sure now hun. As rachelb1310 said it was meant to come out at the February. No update as such yet. I want to be able to listen to Siobhan's voice but I think they are gonna make us suffer first

[Bootsness]

That last note is just magical

[katiebanoub]

This makes me cry every time I watch it.

[painfullystoic]

she's good... but connie makes a better maria... because she's plainer... not as pretty... but connie sounds alot like julie andrews so i guess that makes her more "fitting" to Maria's role...

[trendy890]

woow! best performance by siobhan

[Markgcuk]

Outstanding ... she didnt win because Connie "fitted" the role of Maria better .... but Siobhan is miles better and absolutely beautiful ... to boot ... when is the album out?

[rachelb1310]

May, well thats what I was told. It was meant to be February but they had to put it back as it wasn't ready.

[beccabusted]

i prefer fleetwood mac's version

[CaliGuyMike]

What a great voice! She deserves better than a Broadway show though...how about a RECORD DEAL?!

[garrycoombs]

She's got one with polydor

So u'd ebst buy the album and singles or knowing polydor they'll drop her if she doesnt get a long string of top 5 songs

[spanisheyes1234]

A beautiful voice, she's brilliant

[bluekiz84]

how she didn't win is a mystery!!

[JenniMarieCrossx]

beautiful

[iofwight]

Can't wait for her album it will be fantastic!!

[hreindis]

How beautiful can one girl be - and talented too...

[Sibzlipz]

considering this is LIVE i think shes done better than eva cassidy even!! judging by her preformance over the whole seires she should have AT LEAST come second but i do think her version of All That Jazz was the worst i have ever heard lol.

From a Top Siobhan Fan!

[sickwench]

Vocally i think siobhan sang All that Jazz very well she just could have put a little more into the dance.

[Sibzlipz]

I think Siobhan is better at songs like this than at Loud Jazz Tunes.

[Dkny19]

This was an amazing performance! She did deserve to win but i think connie was born for the part of maria. Cant wait till her album comes out!

[katz122]

yay

i wanted u 2 win !!!

ure gr8!!!

[wuppety]

it was very good, but not as good as eva lol eva just gets the notes right on and siobhan is off on some but i still think shes great wheeeeeeee

[qwerty7177]

The only Eva version that seems to be on youtube is recorded ... but this is live.

[roblondonuk]

Oh My God! Almost better than Eva herself! What a find,what a talent!!! We love U Siobhan!

[sickwench]

According to the express and star siobhan has signed to polydor and has an album out in february.

[CheesynessOnAStick]

Better than eva herself =]

[qwerty7177]

Yes, amazingly I agree!

[CheesynessOnAStick]

yey ;)

[bettyboopluver90]

this song is amazing the best ive heard in a while makes me cry

[o0siobhan0o]

This was her best performance.. shame she didnt win =[

[SallyChaplin]

Well done Siobhan - you sung this beautifully and did yourself proud.

[sickwench]

Incredible version of this song, siobhan really made it sound her own. I think it tops Eva Cassidy's a little bit

[tafairy]

i was really moved when i heard Siobhan sing this song and she actually made me look up Eva Cassidy's version and i love that one (and more of her songs) as well, but still..Siobhan should have won!

[xbubblesbabiix]

She looked beautiful , sounded beautiful and she did deserve that song contract. To have worked so hard and come out with nothing would have been a crime. The girl has talent

[hatty100]

When I heard it live, I couldn't hold back the tears -amazing. I've heard the Eva Cassidy studio version, but prefer this; much fresher sounding and also more emotional.

[sarie13]

Siobhan was my best maria by far but not that good for everyone who was voting but i hoped she won buti cant wait till u gets her album out she will be more better then "CONNIE"

[cherished1961uk]

think she has a bright future

[karmaboi]

Just watching it again - has same effect every time - incredible performance by a beautiful and talented girl. Looking forward to her new stuff. Go Siobhan!! :)

[lOveEmmaBunton]

does anyone have the comments from the judges???

[stabbyark100]

Siobhan is amazing. That song was just soo beautiful.... it made me cry. She has such a gorgeous voice!

[Shaunie1234]

Yay She has been signed! Well Done Siobhan!!!

[IEatPigeons]

Thanks for posting this. Siobhan is amazing! This performance gave me goosebumps. She has it all, beautiful and talanted, what more do you want?! This song is beautiful and i was utterly transfixed by her. Well Done!

[HearMeCalling]

She's signed??? Fantastic!! I loved this performance. It sent shivers down my spine and still does.

[tabletop246]

better than eva cassidy!

[Jottie11]

BalthazarBunny, she has signed a deal with a major record company so will hopefully have an album out soon. I can't wait!!

[namnakaa]

Oh God really WOWWW

[StueyMonster]

siobhan-dillon, c o, u k looks like it will be her official site now she is signed

[namnakaa]

I think now is not open.

[Johnsuko]

Thank you for sharing this video. I saw the programme live and was blown away by her performance.Looking forward to her future work.

[cherished1961uk]

thanks i can download it now

[abby8807]

i think fleetwood mac sang it but its eva cassidy - songbird

[namnakaa]

I don't know siobhans website. Pleaseeeeeee tell me pleaseeee.

[cherished1961uk]

please tell me who sings this song and what it is called

[applegrassdude]

I know I've already said it was beautiful, but I have to say it again because I have still not got tired of hearing her voice even though I've now listened to this four times today

[BalthazarBunny]

I heard somewhere that she has been signed

[Jottie11]

Yes she has, by a top record label. Well done Siobhan. Can't wait for the chance to go and buy your album!!

[smellysocks85]

does anyone know how long siobhans website will take? or has anyone even heard if she has been signed by a record company?

[Shaunie1234]

Shaunie Aged 13: Thanks Phantomangel for telling us about the New Website I can't wait for it!! Siobhan is Amazing!!

[BalthazarBunny]

This clip never gets less gorgeous however much you watch it

[phantomangel18]

Her last name is Dillon...There is a website being created currently which will include all her latest news and media clips.

[scootyscoot4]

I wanted her to win!! She should of been Maria! Helena didn't deserve to be in the Finals!

[stuartlak]

does anyone know what her 2nd name was ?

[Jottie11]

By far the best performance of the series. Hurry up and get an album out Siobhan...I'm waiting to buy it!! You have a stunning voice with a magical, emotional quality that is breathtaking. This clip has been viewed four times as many time as any of the others, which just proves that it was the most popular performance!!

[applegrassdude]

beautiful :')

Hey, who does Siobhan remind you of, looks-wise? She sort of reminds me of Emma Watson/Hermione, with a bit of Keira Knightley and my English teacher shoved in there too...

[wmzegan]

Denigrating Connie to praise Siobhan is irritating and immature. I'm a fan of both girls & while Siobhan was a great singer & looked wonderful, she wasn't a good actress. Connie had everything -voice, charisma, acting skill- and showed it on the night. Can anyone seriously say that Siobhan's My Favourite Things was anywhere near as good as Connie's Lonely Goatherd? The judges didn't think so, and most of the 2 million who voted agreed, which is why Connie made it through & Siobhan didn't.

[spockjlol44]

lovley voice she has!!

[runningdeeper]

erm could she be the most beautiful girl in the world?

[albiefamous]

Connie, was So up her own arse, I hope some director comes along and puts her in her place!!

[everythinglesmis]

Yes, that's exactly how I've been feeling through this whole thing. How could she have won? And I already had tickets so I guess I'm going to have to go and see her live.... I'll just pray that it's that other professional actress.

[sexythreesome]

wow! siobhan was amazing. hope she does great in the future. she was a couple of years older than me at our school, and she was a great talent then. but look at her now! You have donr The Friary proud Siobhan :-)

[YNBAfreak]

Siobhan sooo should have won!! She is amazing!!!

[BalthazarBunny]

As Siobhan said in the vt on Saterday 'I love that girl!' Cant beleive she only got in because Emily dropped out!

[crabtree2]

Can I just say thank god that Emily woman dropped out cos we wouldnt have witnessed the absolute fabulousness that is Siobhan Dillon....and what were they thinking not putting her through in the first place!

[Shaunie1234]

Shaunie 13 Years old: Siobhan is The Best!! I voted so many Times! She has a Huge Major Record Deal YAY!!! I can't wait to go out and Buy Her Records and see Her in Her Concerts!! Well Done Siobhan!!! xxxx

[Bahoral]

She came third! Serves her right the wooden cow!

HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH!

[Jottie11]

How immature and spiteful do you sound?? I reckon Siobhan could well be the biggest success story to come out of this show, by which time you might have grown up!!!

[dainethewildmage]

Connie won. Sioban was really good but I actually like Connie better anyways. Sioban would do good with that record deal.

[barleym]

Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! What an excellent performance. The best performance to date on this show, well done girl!

[aliciazs]

What a performance. I can't stop playing this. Siobhan has the most extraordinary voice. (But I still want Abi to win!)

[Hunkee]

I have been watching the show on BBC 1 and i Siobhan will win, but she'll have to give it her all to win.. I think Connie is a good contender for 2nd place.. just in my Opinion..!

GO Siobhan !! You're Gorgeous and Very Very Talented ;O)

[everythinglesmis]

Siobhan is definately my favourite. Her singing is so beautiful and her acting in this is heartbreaking. I really hope she wins.

[Markgcuk]

This is a brillaint performance - Siobhan you have crept up on everyone AW knew you should have been there in the first place. Go well and WIN!!

[Verballeke]

Connie and Abi heve been my favorites for weeks, but this... puts Siobhan right up there with them... Easily the best performance of the night. Beautiful.

[snoopy45]

She did such a good job of this =) Go Siobhan!

[parp30]

Come on Siobhan!!!!

What a voice would buy that as a single.

[bek8119]

siobhan is the best go girl

[M4Kpl]

Whatisthis? Some kind of an american Idol or pop star?

[Jay230288]

"How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria" is a BBC reality TV show. The process is similar to that of American Idol - judges auditioned, picked their final 10 to be put up for phone votes, but the winner of this show gets to play Maria in Andrew Lloyd Webber's version of the musical The Sound Of Music (which opens later this year).

[Epcot99]

I went to see the show on Saturday and Siobhan was by far the best. She lights up when she's on stage. I do hope she wins as I have tickets, but its gonna be tough!.

[sarie13]

i hope siobhan wins so i can go and see her

[kimmyes]

beautiful! go siobhan hehe

[lsals]

I've bought top price tickets to see the show. I'll sell them if shiobhan doesn't win. She's amazing and has to be maria!!

[Jay230288]

She's fantastic. Siobhan to win :D

[cybergen2K]

I don't usually like this type fo song but you know what - she did a great job!

[kerrykb]

Absolutely amazing!!!! Nearly cried!! Come on Siobhan 2 win!!

[Lost4surf]

awesome, siobhan is so hot and talented.

[wik79]

Thanks for uploading this. It was so beautiful, I preferred this to the Eva Cassidy version. Now I'm hoping she records this on CD so I can have it permanently! Siobhan for Maria! :)

[kelcopop]

AMAZING, brings a tear to my eye :)
