Can’t believe Sarah has been voted out. The best contender - great singer/actress and plenty of charisma. Makes a mockery of the whole show - she was brilliant and I’d go and see the show if she was cast. Wouldn’t go and see Jodie - too caberet - or Rachel - too ‘professional’ I didn’t see her getting emotional when Sarah left. What is Ashley still hanging around for? All wrong!

I totally agree about Jessie-her accent is all wrong for Nancy.

Although I think Jessie is a good singer I noticed in the scene the girls did in the Public House that she couldn’t do a cockney accent and neither could Niamh. Also, when I was young I sang in a production of Oliver and neither of these girls seem anything like Nancy to me. Nancy was a cockney who was presumably raised in a rough environment. Jessie looks more like someone who was raised in a Palace and anyhow, she has to be able to do a convincing accent and even after some weeks she can’t. As for Niamh–well— she should get removed–soon–she is good but she is not Nancy.

Rachel made a mess of her song and I have perfect pitch–so both her and Jodie made my ears hurt. Jodie is good though and I think could play the role. Samantha is my favorite, although to be honest NONE of the girls seem to me to have what it takes to be a really outstanding Nancy. They could probably all do well in some role–but Nancy–no–

However, one of them must get the part so I go for Jodie as she is the most suitable although not my favorite. When voting I try to think who could play the role–so I don’t always vote for my favorite person—because you have to think of the part they have to play—.

Well having watched the performances I would have said:

Jodie-This was a terrible, terrible song for her and quite frankly I was distinctly underwhelmed by her vocals-straining at the top, as pointed out by the judges.

Sarah-She was once again brilliant vocally, but had to agree with BH when he said that she has one expression-she does. It was clear after yet another bland performance that she could not play the role of Nancy. A brilliant singer, but not Nancy.

Rachel-Surprisingly awful, flat on the low notes and cracked on the top. This was a brilliant song, but boy oh boy did she wreck it.

Samantha-A really great performance-she sung and swayed and moved so elegantly across the stage. Definitely the best of the bunch so far.

Niamh-I was expecting her to be fantastic after her appalling performance last week and she certainly was better, but she was by no means outstanding and for the first time I found myself agreeing with ALW that perhaps she did not have the vocal strength….Still think she deserves to go further though!

Jessie-Vocally phenomenal and her acting was pretty darn good too, but is she Nancy……

Ashley-For me this was the best performance of the night and most Nancy-like. I cannot believe that ALW cannot see this girl’s brilliant potential to play the role of Nancy. She gave this song an outstanding performance and I just hope the public have the will to make up their own minds minus ALW.

As a bottom two I would have Jodie and Rachel and Jodie would go home.

What a Disgrace this weeks results show was. No Way should Sarah have been out at this stage. And what is Ashley still doing in this show!! (In fact why was she ever in this show???)
I thought Andrew Lloyd Webber was supposed to know a bit about star quality. Our Hopes are now pinned on Jessie.
