I watched it ( of course) and there was no doubt of the winner, easily the best interpretation of Frank's style and ease, and a modest young man too.
I both agree and disagree Liz. The winner was, as you say, easily the best interpreter of Frank's (or rather Bublé's style) but I think that both you and the judges missed the point, the clue of which was in the title "Our Way". It was supposed to be their own take on Sinatra rather than a blatant copy so, basing that as the criteria, I thought the girl from Leeds who sang "I've Got You Under My Skin" won hands down.
Agree with you Lance - thought she was excellent. A bit of Diana Krall there perhaps (and others, I'm sure)?
