[edit] little if any success as a recording artist?

I have no idea who Michelle is, and only came to this article randomly, but if she has had singles debut at #1, a less extreme statement "moderate success" seems more appropriate. Transcendentalstate 22:20, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes, she had a UK number one after winning the competition, and then she was dropped by her record label after her next single didn't make the top 10. WeBuriedOurSecretsInTheGarden 18:24, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
So basically, she had success, followed immediately by failure. Is there a word for that? "Moderate success" doesn't really fit that as it implies neither great success nor great failure. — AnemoneProjectors (会話) 18:55, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
Is there a word for that? Yep there sure is, my friend. It's called 'Celebrityitis' and most of the UK seems to be afflicted with it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.153.73.105 (talk) 23:40, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Lost 8 stone?

That's a lot indeed. I was just searching the web for information on what weight she started from and for before and after pictures.

So far I've found this. It states that she has gone from 22 to 13 stone - does this mean that:

  • she's dropped another stone since
  • the 8 stone is a little imprecise
  • the 22 and the 13 are a little imprecise

It took me a while to figure out the sequence of pictures. Then I figured that, if they're in any order, then it appears to be reverse chronological....

I see she's 5'1". So her ideal weight is about 7st (depending on whom you believe) to about 9st 6lb ... but to shake off from 58.2 to 34.4 is certainly good going.... -- Smjg 14:33, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

NEW COMMENT: I don't get this - surely dropping from 22 to 13 stone is a drop of 9 stone isn't it? What do you mean, dropped another stone since? Either I'm being a bit thick or there is some issue here. (by Jim)

[edit] Acting role in Womack vs Womack

I don't understand how "the late Jessica Tandy" can be in this series, when she has been dead since 1994. Sah10406 22:11, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Joker

Some joker has been messing with the article - see references to Burger King, the "fatness" DVD, the target weight of "45 stones" and a few other ones in there.


And the "she was considered ugly enough to fulfil this role without any make up" True?

I certainly consider this to be a true statement, but this is WP so I guess anyone can just put what they like down.
She certainly is fat and ugly, so no errors there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.203.0.26 (talk) 09:04, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Do we need an infobox?

I've just started here and I am looking for articles to improve. I think this artice needs some improving. For one, an infobox with a picture or at least some image of the woman in question. Is this required, and can anyone find images that are copyright appropriate?--Bionic-Sun 18:15, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes we do need an infobox. An image isn't necessary but if a free one can be found, it would be good. I had a look of flickr but none of the images of Michelle are free to use. — AnemoneProjectors (会話) 19:39, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

How is the infobox I put there? --Bionic-Sun 19:55, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

It's fine, I added some more info. — AnemoneProjectors (会話) 22:55, 20 October 2007 (UTC)


[edit] "Sympathy vote"?

Can someone please let me know why it is fit for the article to express the fact that she won the talent show because of a sympathy vote!

This is an opinion - and should never be included in an encyclopaedia!
