Michelle Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 I honestly think that for the first time, the show hasn't worked. They've taken a risk every time, but have been lucky. I loved the first two shows, but have completely lost interest in this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~V~ Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 I agree Michelle I even remember the furore when the seemingly most popular of the potential Nancys (at the time) was kicked out at a fairly early stage. (The East End Nancy girl) It just seems that they've mesed it up totally. I think they got the wrong Olivers too but ... Maybe it's the Cameron MacKintosh thing?

thelastwatcher33 Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Maybe ALW will do a Simon Cowell on it and realise hes made a mistake before its too late and get Rachel back, (although where is young Ray off X factor now). I think you're both right, they were lucky with the first two shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~V~ Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 They got the right olivers. I didn't think so. Much as I love the little Welsh boy's singing voice, acting ability, etc I could hardly understand a word he says Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mia Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 I honestly think that for the first time, the show hasn't worked. I've thought this from the beginning, and I think the main reason is that they are not casting the lead role (talking about the adults here). Maria in The Sound of Music is the lead, so is Joseph in Joseph... The main role in Oliver! is Oliver himself; the rest of the cast is more an ensemble, of which Nancy is just a part. They would probably have been better just concentrating on the Olivers for the show, or picking another musical. I would like to see them cast Eliza Dolittle in My Fair Lady (though that is my favourite musical!) I think they got the wrong Olivers too but ... I don't think Gwion is up to the singing standard of the other two winners, it really showed when they were singing Where is Love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mia Posted May 31, 2008 Author Share Posted May 31, 2008 I just don't know what's going on with this show - Jessie has just been put through while Samantha has been kicked out. For weeks now, the panel and Lloyd Webber have been slagging Jessie off and saying she is not Nancy - tonight they're singing her praises and saying she should win. I don't know if they're trying a reverse psychology thing, and hoping that if they praise her people won't vote for her because they won't think she needs the votes. Whatever, another excellent singer has gone out tonight. The final is now between Jodie and Jessie, and I think it will be a big mistake if Jessie wins.

Janet Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Hurrah - I'm glad Jodie won. I thought Jessie was the best I've ever seen her though, so fair play to her too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mia Posted May 31, 2008 Author Share Posted May 31, 2008 I'm very pleasantly surprised - I thought it was a foregone conclusion that Jessie would win. Hurrah for Jodie! John and Denise were very pleased too. (JB was all teary, but his botox wouldn't let him cry!! ) As lovesreading said though, all the best ones went out. I don't mind Jodie, but I liked Sarah, Rachel and Ashley too. I'm quite relieved it's all over, to be honest! Shall we start taking bets on which role they're going to cast next? It's got to be a male role, I would think, as they go alternately. Can't think of one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Phew, I really didn't like Jessie! After the travesty of Britain's Got Talent, I was pleased to see that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Phew, I really didn't like Jessie! After the travesty of Britain's Got Talent, I was pleased to see that. I haven't watched any of that, but who won? My kids watched whilst they were away this week but went to bed before the results show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyanddandy Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 It was a pointless act - a boy so called dancing - Britain has no talent or taste or class!! Gin the dog or the violinists should have won Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyanddandy Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Britian has got talent. I liked George sampson, backstreet dancing Laura he was average!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 It was just dancing, as far as I'm concerned - I loved the four girls with their modern classical instruments. I've said all the way through this one.. take the kids out.. give them their own show if necessary, but as it is, it's not fair on the adults.

Louiseog Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Back to Nancy (was going to write Maria then!) thought Jodie should win. Next one.......... Jesus in Superstar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I'd love them to do a Phantom one (Ghost of a chance?!) or Mamma Mia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I'm sure I read that ALW said he's probably not going to do one next year.. and if he does, it might be in America. He's also launching a sequel to Phantom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supergran71 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Based onwhat I saw on Saturday while at H&D's (I wouldnt bother otherwise) Britain has got NO talent whatsoever and the people who voted have no taste and no idea what real music is. Just my opinion so dont go throwing bottles at me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I will disagree with you though! I completely disagreed with the final voting, but there were a couple of good singers.. the girl in particular sounded great to me, and the fours girls withe the instruments were obviously talented.

happyanddandy Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Who remembers the winner of the X-Factor or Pop Idol? Will Young - my hero Shall I send Supergran up to you for a holiday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Ah, but people have made a career after appearing on some of these shows.. whether they came first or second! I agree that the voting is just a joke.. whether it's people with little taste, but lots of credit on their phone, or whether they are fixed, something goes wrong. Will Young - my hero Me too!

Janet Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Remeber stephen brookstone (if that his name) I know he made a cd but not sure about an album. In my view he was to old. I don't know who he is, but how old was he then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Over 30 and therefore past it. Thanks. *Shoots self* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supergran71 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I think we'd get on splendidly. That's if we survived each other! I am sure we would have great fun arguing with each other Michelle, yes I agree with you, the young lady of 12 years was a very good singer (I sang on the stage myself at that tender age and went in for talent contests too). Although I think the violinists could play well, I prefer my violinists not to be pop artists. Another good contestant was the young boy singer. But that's what I mean you see - the boy who won it was total rubbish and so were all the rest and proves the type of people who are voting are empty headed idiots. Again just my opinion.
