Francesca's teeth are like that because she sucks her thumb.

slayerette · 14/04/2008 18:06

I can't decide at this stage who I think would do a good job of Nancy but Francesca and Ashley have to go very soon. I can't stand week after week of wondering why Francesca's mouth looks so strange!

Has anyone else noticed how strangely Jessie stands and moves? She has awful posture!

Another JB fan here - I can't explain it, I'm sorry. He's just so..... Nope, can't think of the best way to sum it up but he's bloody lovely!

And the stylist on the show should be sacked. She manages to make even the tiny ones look like absolute heifers.

DrNortherner · 14/04/2008 18:10

I really like sarah too, and Jodie.

Agree Francesca's mouth is too dodgy and it is off putting.

Niamh would be a fab pop star but not a nancy. Samantha is bland, ashley needs to go soon.

I like jessie but she strokes herself and tugs at her dress in every performance.

MaryAnnSingleton · 14/04/2008 18:20

Sarah's dresses are all wrong... she is pretty and curvy but they mske her look very squat and chubby

becaroo · 14/04/2008 18:20

I have liked Jodie from the start and think she would be great as Nancy.

Andrew Lloyd Webber has obviously got the hots for Samantha, who is vapid at best.

I agree with slayerette about Jessie too, she stands in a very strange way...her posture is awful.

Niamh is just too young.

Francesca should be next to go, I think.

slayerette · 14/04/2008 18:26

Yes, Jodie seems to be closest to my idea of Nancy - particularly with the way she did her song this week showing she can do vulnerable and quiet as well.

becaroo · 14/04/2008 18:31

I saw Joseph last october.....LOVED it! I am sure it was only due to my voting for him 6 times on the night of the final that Lee won!!! (deluded emoticon)

Dont think I will go and see this production, though. Its not one of my favourite musicals. Neither is The Sound of Music.

Would be over the moon if they did a production of Singin in the rain or Kiss me Kate!!!

(Saw Kiss me Kate on Broadway 7 years ago - it was amazing)

becaroo · 14/04/2008 18:32

My ds (4) always comments on how horrible the dresses are too, slayerette!

NoNickname · 14/04/2008 18:36

Can someone please explain to me the attraction of Niamh? IMHO she is nothing like I expect Nancy to be. She is too young and expressionless. She doesn't have the "gutsy"-ness that Nancy should have. She just seems lost and timid. And actually I don't think she sings very well either. But DVO and the panel LOVE her. Why? They accuse others of not having the grit and edge that Nancy needs, but she doesn't have it and they don't complain. Why?

becaroo · 14/04/2008 18:40

I do think she has a nice voice, but that is not enough for the role of Nancy. She is far too young, basically.

slayerette · 14/04/2008 19:03

Niamh is too expressionless. DH reckons she'd make a better Christine in Phantom and I can see what he means.

We're waiting for the search for Jesus for Superstar...

We just saw Joseph over Easter, becaroo. Ds (5) and I were fighting over the opera glasses. He wanted to look more closely at the mechanical camel and I - er - wanted to look more closely at other things on the stage

MaryAnnSingleton · 14/04/2008 19:04

yes, I was wondering what would be next slayerette ! it's girl/boy/girl musicals so far..

collision · 14/04/2008 22:13

jodie's hair looks so common atm and I think she should dye it choc brown.

Think she would make a great Nancy but I do like Rachel as well.

Tippychick · 15/04/2008 08:45

I reckon Evita next? Or Aspects of Love? But they're not as well known are they?

LOL at Search for Jesus

noddyholder · 15/04/2008 08:50

Jodie is dreadful She has hair like the yorkshire terriers she wears on her t shirts!I think the irish girl will win Jessie?

TillyScoutsmum · 15/04/2008 09:09

I love Jodie - think she has the right amount of "brashness" to be Nancy. Agree she should do something with her hair though

Niamh is far too delicate looking to be Nancy. Gorgeous face but NOT Nancy. She could be Eliza Dolittle

Quite like Jessie but think she's too young and the sneer is odd

Really liked Sarah this week

I'm pretty sure I can see ALW's attraction(s) with Samantha

Tippychick · 15/04/2008 09:28

I quite like Jodie though whoever put her in that godawful satin 80s dress the week before last should be shot. It was like a cheese and wine PTA meeting flashback and made her look huge poor love.

Does anyone else see the panel steering more towards Francesca and t'other professional girl (rachel?)with their comments? ALW is the only one who mentions the fact that Francesca is not a great singer it seems. Are they trying to make sure they get a pro again after Lee d'ye think?

Niamh is v pretty but not a Nancy type I agree.

becaroo · 15/04/2008 18:32

slayerette...

That loincloth was fabulous!!

slayerette · 16/04/2008 20:08

Sigh....

MaryAnnSingleton · 19/04/2008 20:06

Favourites today - Rachel,Sarah and Niamh - I felt quite teary at Niamh's song and I don't even like it. Most of them seem very shouty and exaggerated in their movements...I find Jodie quite coarse and hefty.

theheadgirl · 19/04/2008 20:29

I love watching Niamh, she's beautiful, but not sure she could do the roughness of Nancy. My favourites are Jodie (although crap song today) and Rachel.
I predict Keisha or Ashley to go.

lemonstartree · 19/04/2008 21:04

ashley was awful. Out of tune and shouty. Keisha is NOT Nancy. liked Rachel best, then Jessie, Sarah, Jodie adn Francesca in that order.

Samantha was shouty too today though she did manage a bit of emotion today...

pofaced · 19/04/2008 21:09

My DDs agog... how does one find out about open castings for things like this? Even if only to make them queue for long enough to realise that working hard in school etc a better long term option

Elasticwoman · 19/04/2008 21:24

I like Keisha and Niamh and think Ashley should go. I think Keisha would have the stamina. Niamh is beautiful and performs beautifully. I like Francesca as she looks memorable and sings musically.

ellceeell · 19/04/2008 21:31

If Ashley gets in the bottom two then I don't think ALW will save her. Who does her hair for the show? It always looks awful, like seaweed.
