Hollie Steel finished 6th in the public voting, beating 4 of the other contestants. As over 4,000,000 votes were phoned in, and Hollie got almost 4%, she received around 150,000 to 160,000 votes. The first 4 in the list received 77.8% of the total vote - see below. Also note that it has been pointed out that the telephone number shown for Susan Boyle during some of the scrolls of telephone numbers while voting was ongoing was actually that for Diversity; if only 2.4% of the total number of voters ended up voting for Diversity but meant to vote for Susan Boyle, the results for first and second would have been reversed. We will never know... but Hollie definitely beat 4 of the other finalists in the voting.

Hi all. I added a link to the "External links" to Hollie's main fan page ( [1]). Why did you remove it? It is a very good resource, you will find info there which is currently missing in the article, like on the current petition. They are in close contact to Jason Steel. And, if that was your concern, I am not connected to that site in any way. - Malwin ( talk) 05:37, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
Dates of developments or reports should be included. We often forget that while the information is fresh in our minds - say when Armstrong walked on the moon - we forget that 5 years from now a student will be reading it for the first time and will need dates and times. That is why I put the date back on Steel and Harris. Just a thought. -- Dane Sorensen ( talk) 15:00, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

It's on the edge. Gwen Gale ( talk) 19:26, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
I query why User:Radiopathy deleted comments on the notability of the subject and whether a merger might be appropriate. I must ask that these are re-instated immediately. Such attempts to censor talk pages and control the discussion are contrary to core Wikipedia principles. Jezhotwells ( talk) 19:38, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
The article was recently updated to change references such as Hollie to Steel. This is a common usage on Wikipedia but seems unsatisfactory for the following reasons:
I suggest that we improve the article by using varying phrases such as the child singer and tearful contestant. I shall perhaps make some attempt at this myself but as we already have differing versions some discussion seems best before more work is done. Colonel Warden ( talk) 10:28, 30 July 2009 (UTC)#
Switching back and forth from Hollie to Steel is a waste of time. It should be Steel. That is the accepted form. Nice to see some other scholar put back the fact that Steel has a manager. Furthermore, I enjoyed the comment about too much debate over new items concerning this person. We should not have to wait until Hollie Steel is dead before we can put something that has appeared recently in the media in her Wiki article. -- Dane Sorensen ( talk) 03:43, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
I don't see why this page is still here. Has anybody heard anything from her since BGT? No. It's clear she's not notable so can someone please AFD this and delete it once and for all? THE NAME'S BOB ( talk) 14:07, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
Why were my updates and factual corrections deleted? They were mostly referred to from her official page and a few news articles. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Danvin27 ( talk • contribs) 00:35, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
Sorry I'm not familiar with the rules. This was the first time I updated a page on here cause I thought I could help out with the errors on the article (Rolf Harris - it's a deal that although was reported in the papers, was a false alarm, evident by the fact that nothing came of it) and update the article as well (record contract signed in September, single scheduled for release in December and album in March). I did include a news article for her performance in Hong Kong and Preston. The problem is there isn't any press coverage on Hollie right now and most of the news comes from her, her mum and her agent Dave through her official site, so it is factually correct and should be included in an encyclopedia article as opposed to the errors that are included (quoted from The Sun and The Daily Mirror) which are hardly reliable sources. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Danvin27 ( talk • contribs) 03:01, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
Will this article do for her recording contract with VVR2? http://www.nigelround.co.uk/entertainers/britains_got_talent/hollie_steel/

Also why was the link to her official site, holliesteel.org.uk removed?
Thank you for the help.
Ok, I give up. Included information from a perfectly credible news article that appeared yesterday and cited it like the others, yet it was deleted. Not sure what's expected if that wasn't acceptable.

This seems to be a good place to add a plea to please AVOID NASTY REMARKS such as the one I deleted from the intro today. Initially I thought it was a reference to a recent performance that was unsourced. Now I believe it was unkind and not related to any recent performance. 1archie99 ( talk) 18:48, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

I tagged this as needing sourcing improvement; the Sun and the Mail are not really good sources for an article on a living person. -- John ( talk) 17:19, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
The software possibly gone crazy; told me their was an edit conflict when I was the only one editing, then editing was finalized without tbe explanation I had typed. I figured out what the prior editor was trying to do. I agree and made the change. I deleted a subsection and put its content into the section above it.-- 1archie99 ( talk) 22:25, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
Was the album, Principia listed at http://www.amazon.com/s/qid=1354196344/ref=sr_grid_albumrank?ie=UTF8&field-keywords=Hollie%20Steel&index=digital-music&rd=1&redirect=true&search-type=ss&sort=albumrank as being recorded by Hollie Steel in 2006 by Amazon.com actually recorded by Hollie Steel? Can anyone shed light on this? I have been following her career via the internet including her official pages and the only place this album is listed is on Amazon. The release date contradicts the article which lists her first recording with a later release date. The samples do not sound like Hollie although this is not positive proof with the current technology being able to change the way people sound. I deleted the sentence that depended on that Amazon page, the software saved the edit before I finished the summary. Finishing summary, note that cited page lists two artists within table Hollie and Hollie Steel. Questionable as to whether Hollie is Hollie Steel 1archie99 ( talk) 16:24, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
There is a 52 minute documentary drama titled "Children on the Titanic" which is "ready for delivery". Steel acts in and sings in the production. Her second album contains songs and a spoken track from the film. Following is the text of an email I received from the company that produced the film.
Thank you for your note and interest in the programme. We are in the process of discussions with DVD distributors and TV networks in different parts of the world. Activity is slow at the moment as there was so much programming for the centenary of the sinking last April - but interest is coming alive again. We may soon do a self publishing arrangement for DVD's in which case we will let you know. Meanwhile, have yiou seen the public access trailer via the following link: http://www.childrenonthetitanic.com/code-2/index.html

Really? Is there a reliable source to back this up? Radiopathy •talk• 04:05, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
It is the latter edit where the tampering is. Changing my correction and removing the citation that supports it is 'tampering'. Note that in the video it is Hollie who states that her birthdate is the tenth. I have read the Wikipedia link that you listed in your summary of your edit and I do not see what it has do with the latter edit. 1archie99 ( talk) 15:56, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I note the three AfDs in 2009, none of which found consensus. Since then, our attitudes to WP:BLP1E have hardened somewhat and this person seems, in the intervening five years, to have attracted no real additional notability. I propose a merge to Britain's_Got_Talent_(series_3)#Hollie_Steel. -- Dweller ( talk) 10:19, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
I agree with Dweller, there is no notability here beyond the one event, so I support merger. The Rambling Man ( talk) 10:08, 22 November 2014 (UTC)
I think this has been open long enough. In numbers terms, 4 editors wish for a merge and 2 are opposed. I'll see if I can find an admin to assess if there is consensus and close this. -- Dweller ( talk) 13:14, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
The article notes:
But the judges gave her a second shot and she made it to the final.
She has since released a number of singles and an album and starred as Louisa von Trapp in Andrew Lloyd Webber's UK tour of The Sound of Music.
Now aged 15, she is following in the footsteps of stars like Rita Ora and Emma Bunton by studying at the Sylvia Young Theatre School in London.
She will take up a place at the Urdang Academy in the capital in September, where she will train in dancing, acting and singing to help her achieve her dreams of starring on the West End stage.
The book notes:
In Season Three, sixth was Hollie Steel, who was just 10 years old when she auditioned for Britain's Got Talent as a singer. She displayed a powerful soprano voice in singing classics from well-known musicals. However, in her live semi-final performance she forgot the lyrics and broke down crying. This led to public debate about whether children as young as her should be auditioned for this type of show. Since finishing in sixth place, she had recorded six albums by the end of 2012 and performed at a number of live events, while also continuing her schooling.
The article notes:
Since appearing on Britain's Got Talent, Hollie has released three albums.
She released her sixth single in December 2012 — Fly, which was recorded in Italy with Romina Arena.
The article notes:
Following Hollie’s heart-stopping breakdown and the outraged public reaction to it, the Government launched a review into whether children in the entertainment and modelling industries need better protection.
The article notes:
Since finishing sixth in the TV talent show in 2009, Hollie has released several singles and two albums.
From May to October this year she starred as Louisa von Trapp in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s UK tour of The Sound of Music, and she has just returned from recording sessions in Italy with the American-based oper-atic pop artist Romina Arena.
The article notes:
The 11-year-old 'Britain's Got Talent' star, who lived off Pendle Way before moving to Huncoat with her family, will release a cover version of "Where Are You Christmas", a song featured in her favourite festive film 'The Grinch', in two weeks' time.
...
Hollie has signed a two-single record deal with VVR2 and is hoping to secure a contract for her album which is expected to be finished in the New Year.
"Where Are You Christmas" is set to be played for the first time on radio stations nationwide over the next week and will be released on December 7th.
This 2013 article recounts her crying at the 2009 semifinals and explores the question "are children being exploited for our entertainment?".
The article notes:
Former Britain’s Got Talent finalist Hollie, now 12, famously broke down aged 10 on TV before an audience of 19 million. However, having relocated from Lancashire to pursue her dreams in London, her single When Christmas Comes To Town has just been released.
The article notes:
Hollie Steel, 12, of Accrington, Lancashire, who made it to the final of Britain's Got Talent a few years ago after crying on live TV after messing up her song, plays Louisa. She goes to the Sylvia Young Theatre School.
She said: "It's fun being away from home – I like the adventure. But I miss my dog Sasha."

IN THE singing stakes only Susan Boyle could beat her in Britain’s Got Talent last year and now 12 months later 12-year-old multi-tasker Hollie Steel, who is a ballerina as well as an operatic singer, releases her first album.
Classical crowd-pleasers such as Nessun Dorma and Ave Maria sit alongside musical numbers Edelweiss, I Could Have Danced All Night and The Music Of The Night to make a nice little starter disc.
Obviously it boils down to whether you like child singers or think they should be sent to their rooms. One to watch for fans of this sort of thing.
VERDICT 3/5
The article notes:
On Dec.2, the 84-member [Strongsville High School Symphony Orchestra] lent their talents to the "Tim Janis: An American Christmas Carol" concert in New York City's Carnegie Hall. The two-and-a-half-hour performance saw the students accompany noted vocalists to a near sell-out crowd.
"The kids were awesome. They were exceptional," orchestra conductor Andrew Hire said of his musicians.
Featured in the concert were vocalist Donald Braswell of "America's Got Talent" fame, "Britain's Got Talent" winner Hollie Steel and country musician Sarah Darling.

The penultimate paragraph in 'Singing Career' is poorly written and makes little sense:
In 2014, Hollie moved to London, UK permanently to attended the prestigious college in Islington The Urdang Academy to study a three-year course in Musical Theatre [38] to pursue a career in acting. Since then Miss Steel has gained a very large following on social media sites and posts covers on her YouTube channel (holliebsteelofficial).
I would suggest the following:
In 2014, Hollie moved permanently to London, UK to attend the prestigious Urdang Academy in Islington where she will undertake a three-year course in Musical Theatre with a view to pursuing a career in acting. Since then Miss Steel has gained a very large following on social media sites and posts covers (to what use is the word being put in this context?) on her YouTube channel (holliebsteelofficial).

I figured out what the prior editor was trying to do. I agree and made the change. I deleted a subsection and put its content into the section above it.-- 1archie99 ( talk) 22:25, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
Was the album, Principia listed at http://www.amazon.com/s/qid=1354196344/ref=sr_grid_albumrank?ie=UTF8&field-keywords=Hollie%20Steel&index=digital-music&rd=1&redirect=true&search-type=ss&sort=albumrank as being recorded by Hollie Steel in 2006 by Amazon.com actually recorded by Hollie Steel? Can anyone shed light on this? I have been following her career via the internet including her official pages and the only place this album is listed is on Amazon. The release date contradicts the article which lists her first recording with a later release date. The samples do not sound like Hollie although this is not positive proof with the current technology being able to change the way people sound. I deleted the sentence that depended on that Amazon page, the software saved the edit before I finished the summary. Finishing summary, note that cited page lists two artists within table Hollie and Hollie Steel. Questionable as to whether Hollie is Hollie Steel 1archie99 ( talk) 16:24, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
There is a 52 minute documentary drama titled "Children on the Titanic" which is "ready for delivery". Steel acts in and sings in the production. Her second album contains songs and a spoken track from the film. Following is the text of an email I received from the company that produced the film.
Thank you for your note and interest in the programme. We are in the process of discussions with DVD distributors and TV networks in different parts of the world. Activity is slow at the moment as there was so much programming for the centenary of the sinking last April - but interest is coming alive again. We may soon do a self publishing arrangement for DVD's in which case we will let you know. Meanwhile, have yiou seen the public access trailer via the following link: http://www.childrenonthetitanic.com/code-2/index.html

I would like to have the source for this long full name. Never saw it in any of the sources I have read, Hollie's sites or even the fan pages. 1archie99 ( talk) 15:51, 3 May 2013 (UTC) Apparently no sources exist. I reverted the long full name which had been placed in the article without any sources or reasons given. 1archie99 ( talk) 01:22, 6 July 2013 (UTC)onep
Really? Is there a reliable source to back this up? Radiopathy •talk• 04:05, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
It is the latter edit where the tampering is. Changing my correction and removing the citation that supports it is 'tampering'. Note that in the video it is Hollie who states that her birthdate is the tenth. I have read the Wikipedia link that you listed in your summary of your edit and I do not see what it has do with the latter edit. 1archie99 ( talk) 15:56, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I note the three AfDs in 2009, none of which found consensus. Since then, our attitudes to WP:BLP1E have hardened somewhat and this person seems, in the intervening five years, to have attracted no real additional notability. I propose a merge to Britain's_Got_Talent_(series_3)#Hollie_Steel. -- Dweller ( talk) 10:19, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
I agree with Dweller, there is no notability here beyond the one event, so I support merger. The Rambling Man ( talk) 10:08, 22 November 2014 (UTC)
I think this has been open long enough. In numbers terms, 4 editors wish for a merge and 2 are opposed. I'll see if I can find an admin to assess if there is consensus and close this. -- Dweller ( talk) 13:14, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
The article notes:
But the judges gave her a second shot and she made it to the final.
She has since released a number of singles and an album and starred as Louisa von Trapp in Andrew Lloyd Webber's UK tour of The Sound of Music.
Now aged 15, she is following in the footsteps of stars like Rita Ora and Emma Bunton by studying at the Sylvia Young Theatre School in London.
She will take up a place at the Urdang Academy in the capital in September, where she will train in dancing, acting and singing to help her achieve her dreams of starring on the West End stage.
The book notes:
In Season Three, sixth was Hollie Steel, who was just 10 years old when she auditioned for Britain's Got Talent as a singer. She displayed a powerful soprano voice in singing classics from well-known musicals. However, in her live semi-final performance she forgot the lyrics and broke down crying. This led to public debate about whether children as young as her should be auditioned for this type of show. Since finishing in sixth place, she had recorded six albums by the end of 2012 and performed at a number of live events, while also continuing her schooling.
The article notes:
Since appearing on Britain's Got Talent, Hollie has released three albums.
She released her sixth single in December 2012 — Fly, which was recorded in Italy with Romina Arena.
The article notes:
Following Hollie’s heart-stopping breakdown and the outraged public reaction to it, the Government launched a review into whether children in the entertainment and modelling industries need better protection.
The article notes:
Since finishing sixth in the TV talent show in 2009, Hollie has released several singles and two albums.
From May to October this year she starred as Louisa von Trapp in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s UK tour of The Sound of Music, and she has just returned from recording sessions in Italy with the American-based oper-atic pop artist Romina Arena.
The article notes:
The 11-year-old 'Britain's Got Talent' star, who lived off Pendle Way before moving to Huncoat with her family, will release a cover version of "Where Are You Christmas", a song featured in her favourite festive film 'The Grinch', in two weeks' time.
...
Hollie has signed a two-single record deal with VVR2 and is hoping to secure a contract for her album which is expected to be finished in the New Year.
"Where Are You Christmas" is set to be played for the first time on radio stations nationwide over the next week and will be released on December 7th.
This 2013 article recounts her crying at the 2009 semifinals and explores the question "are children being exploited for our entertainment?".
The article notes:
Former Britain’s Got Talent finalist Hollie, now 12, famously broke down aged 10 on TV before an audience of 19 million. However, having relocated from Lancashire to pursue her dreams in London, her single When Christmas Comes To Town has just been released.
The article notes:
Hollie Steel, 12, of Accrington, Lancashire, who made it to the final of Britain's Got Talent a few years ago after crying on live TV after messing up her song, plays Louisa. She goes to the Sylvia Young Theatre School.
She said: "It's fun being away from home – I like the adventure. But I miss my dog Sasha."

IN THE singing stakes only Susan Boyle could beat her in Britain’s Got Talent last year and now 12 months later 12-year-old multi-tasker Hollie Steel, who is a ballerina as well as an operatic singer, releases her first album.
Classical crowd-pleasers such as Nessun Dorma and Ave Maria sit alongside musical numbers Edelweiss, I Could Have Danced All Night and The Music Of The Night to make a nice little starter disc.
Obviously it boils down to whether you like child singers or think they should be sent to their rooms. One to watch for fans of this sort of thing.
VERDICT 3/5
The article notes:
On Dec.2, the 84-member [Strongsville High School Symphony Orchestra] lent their talents to the "Tim Janis: An American Christmas Carol" concert in New York City's Carnegie Hall. The two-and-a-half-hour performance saw the students accompany noted vocalists to a near sell-out crowd.
"The kids were awesome. They were exceptional," orchestra conductor Andrew Hire said of his musicians.
Featured in the concert were vocalist Donald Braswell of "America's Got Talent" fame, "Britain's Got Talent" winner Hollie Steel and country musician Sarah Darling.

The penultimate paragraph in 'Singing Career' is poorly written and makes little sense:
In 2014, Hollie moved to London, UK permanently to attended the prestigious college in Islington The Urdang Academy to study a three-year course in Musical Theatre [38] to pursue a career in acting. Since then Miss Steel has gained a very large following on social media sites and posts covers on her YouTube channel (holliebsteelofficial).
I would suggest the following:
In 2014, Hollie moved permanently to London, UK to attend the prestigious Urdang Academy in Islington where she will undertake a three-year course in Musical Theatre with a view to pursuing a career in acting. Since then Miss Steel has gained a very large following on social media sites and posts covers (to what use is the word being put in this context?) on her YouTube channel (holliebsteelofficial).
