Hi. Hollie is having a lovely few days of school, sitting at home watching cartoons and stuff. Today she went into a studio to have professional photos taken for the Cd cover. The results are beautiful, can’t wait for you all to see them. Tomorrow we’re making a trip to Doncaster to visit our friends 2 Grand. Hollie will be on the forum to chat on Sunday at 6pm. xxxxx

Léopold was first with the news

Hi all, Hollie will be on Chat in the forum on Sunday morning at 11am. Chat to you all then. Nina & Hollie xxxx

Hollie says:

I am going to chat on the forum tomorrow (Wednesday) at 8 oclock. Please come and chat to me it will be really nice Hollie xxx

Isn’t this gallery cool! You can sit back and watch the slideshow – scroll forwards, backwards, or watch in full screen mode. Move your cursor over the photo and arrows will appear to help you.

Many thanks to all of you who have allowed me to use your photos, especially Kevin, Georgi, Nevin, Scott, Haselmaus and David. If you want your photo at Bournemouth adding – let me know!

Here are some quotes from those lucky people who met Hollie and her family at Bournemouth:

Scott said:

It was fantastic. Hollie was the absolute star of the show.

David Nisbet said:

It was amazing! We were in the lounge when Hollie and family joined us. We sat down at a table and just chatted until it was time to go into the function suite. After Hollie’s performance they joined us in the rear bar, and stayed with us all night. After breakfast we played football in the garden,  then Josh played the piano and sang for us.

Robert Owen said:

Hollie was utterly magnificent.  Her performance of Nessun Dorma was a jaw-dropper.  Really I have to say: Watch out Placido Domingo!  Hollie’s ahead of the rest of the field and is hot on your heels with this song.  On Hollie’s performance of “Wishing” I have to remark how well her lower register has developed since the BGT final. So much more power and richness!  Yes, I think Hollie has overtaken Sarah Brightman on this song.

It wasn’t just her singing that was impressive. In spite of all the attention she got, she remained the most gracious, courteous, attentive and patient person it has ever been my privilege to meet.

Wonderful all round! Hollie made it an unforgettable evening.

Kane Lokland has informed me that he has resigned as Hollie Steel’s manager, and that Hollie’s new manager is Dave D’Mello of Vines Vinyl Records.

Georgi Velev has told me that the charity ball in Bournemouth was “a bomb!” and he has kindly sent me a picture of himself with Hollie. Did you go to Bournemouth? Do you have any photos or news you’d like to share? Feel free to leave comments or send an email to:

Please type the email into your email program, I have given it as an image to avoid spam.

Hello everyone, im going on the chat room tomorrow (Wednesday) after school at 7 oclock. please come and chat to me it would be really nice. Holliexxx

Léopold was quickest again with this news

Hollie Steel’s new single “Where are you Christmas” will be released December 14th. Pre-orders will be taken 30th November. There are no previews of the single due to illegal downloads. We want to get Hollie as high in the charts as possible. We are asking every single fan to help with this and get Hollie to Number One.

As soon as I have a link to where you can buy Hollie’s debut single it will be added to this site.
Thanks Léopold for keeping me up to date

What should Hollie Steel’s debut album be called?

When Simon Cowell made comments about Hollie Steel’s performance on Britain’s Got Talent, he frequently started his remarks with: “Hollie, Hollie, Hollie!”

Kane, Hollie’s manager, has asked Dieter has set up a forum thread named “Hollie, Hollie, Hollie!” for people to suggest names for Hollie’s album. The link to the suggestion list is here.

As soon as we have enough suggestions, the best names will be selected and we will run a poll on them.

Hollie and Kane treated us to lots of news in yesterday’s chat session. Here are the main points of interest:

• There was lots of talk about Nessun Dorma again – Hollie said she might sing it in Bournemouth if the organisers agree.
• Hollie confirmed that she had wanted to sing Nessun Dorma at Britain’s Got Talent, but was not allowed to.
• Hollie said that she loves Where are You Christmas, her first single, even though it is not opera.
• Hollie will be in a photo session this weekend for upcoming promotions.

Hollie will be turning on the Christmas lights in Manchester on November 12th  and treating the crowd to a performance of her new single. If you guys are fans of Hollie, I want your support! Hollie will brave the cold and sing her new single for you all.

• Hollie will be performing with Lee Mead in December. Lee Mead was the winner of the BBC’s reality talent show “Any Dream Will Do”. Lee has had a successful career since the competition, not only playing Joseph in the West End, but releasing two albums, the first of which has  acquired double gold status.
• There will be some Hollie Steel LIMITED EDITION merchandise available soon, such a mouse mat, mug or T-shirt with a photo of Hollie that no-one else has seen.
• Talks are under way for Hollie to take part in another major charity event.

Kane has now confirmed that hard copies will be availalble, and the album will be on sale in HMV, Asda and Tesco etc. It will intially be released in the US digitally, but Kane is working on getting Hollie a US record contract. If a US record contract is obtained, Hollie’s album would be released all over the US and Hollie would tour the US if that happens.

Another song that will be appearing on her album, scheduled for release in March 2010, is Ave Maria.

The first single, Where are You Christmas, is supposed to be released the first week of December, but Kane would prefer a release date in the last week of November. Hollie’s second single is likely to be Nessun Dorma.
