How do you solve a problem like Maria

[dummkopf]

I'm really enjoying the Maria programme, even ALW's contribution, is he real ? but I can't get this bloody song out of my head ! I'm driving this family mad........

I half watched it as I was covering my eyes most of the time. Silly, but I become all hot and embarrassed at some of the attempts at singing - and acting.

Don't you think that the very cocky Emilie is an odd choice? She doesn't appear to have an ounce of charisma, does she? My favourite is the youngest one - can't remember her name but she looks perfect for the role.

I particularly like this programme because it's not really about fame like the X Factor etc, but turning a dream into reality. It was particularly heartbreaking when the 40 became 20 and a tap on the shoulder meant you were out. Emilie has quit apparently, she had another bust up with Zoe Salmon so Siobhan is back - not sure I agree with letting in someone who is yet to prove themself but hey.

I agree Emilie was a strange choice, but hey, ALW wanted her in didn't he ? I can't remember all the names but thought the petite girl with short reddish hair was good. The Romanian girl was ok but I can't see her losing the accent somehow. Looking forward to the next show !
