I was eagerly awaiting its release in September and when I played it, I just loved it so much. Dido is a very talented singer and each time I see her on TV, I am struck by her beauty and her lovely voice. I don't think unknown artists are any good. In fact there's too many of them doing cover versions.

If I inadvertently hear her, I am always waiting for her to let rip and exude some emotion but it remains unbelievably stifled and tightly controlled. I want to break free!

She is a lovely lady who will go far. God bless her.

She has the grace and charm of a modern day Hepburn, but also the liveliness to portray such strong and outgoing characters. All in all, she's good at her job.

She has proved to all concerned that not only is she beautiful, intelligent and has a wonderful voice but that you don't have to be a size 8 to have these attributes. As a large performer myself, I have taken some knocks in my time, and am so happy she has won. Go girl, and be the biggest brightest star.

I can think of countless talented British artists and groups, from Cliff Richard to Paul Weller, that have little or no Stateside impact. There have also been some great British TV shows, actors and films.

Will always gives a unique performance. His many fans would never agree with your comments. Carole Gamain, Wilenhall, West Midlands Will Young's new work is nothing to do with Pop Idol. He is light years away from that now. He has moved on. I suggest PJ Acklam does the same.
