It's desperate stuff. She can't sing, dance or have the remotest bit of star quality. The BEEB have allowed ALW to turn this series into a circus and a farce.
Is it just me or is this performance just terrible?....
Not just you.... I couldn't believe how bad she was! I have never rated her as an actress and now I can see that she's not much of a singer or dancer either.
Well I can say that I saw her in Sweet Charity last week and she was absolutely brilliant. I'm not sure the performance came across as well on tv, but then it was choreographed for the stage) and don't let it put you off seeing Sweet Charity. An absolutely cracking show, the whole cast is excellent and Tamsin was a worthy leading lady!
I was a bit shocked at how underwhelming she was. A nice enough vocal but she isn't right for that part which requires that kind of quirky, Lucille Ball quality. Jessica would have been better!
I thought it was weak vocally, and any of the Dorothys could do better. if that's the kind of voice it takes to be on the west end, all of them have it.....
I went to see a matinee of Sweet Charity last Wednesday, which I think must have been a preview as Tamsin Outhwaite wasn't in it. I'm glad though as Tiffany Graves (who I'd also seen in Chicago) was FANTASTIC! Even more pleased after seeing that performance. It was really breathy as if she hasn't quite got used to having to act, dance and sing at the same time
She also looked completely wrong for it, but never mind. She'll get better (and probably won't be doing those 8 shows a week that she mentioned either :rolleyes:)
I think it would probably look better on stage, it wasn't right for tv. But it's a bit boring anyway and i don't like that slapstick style dancing. Vocal was ok but it's not a great song.
In a theatre you wouldn't get the close ups of her which would help. It made her make up and hair look too harsh where in a theatre you wouldn't see it that much.

Emilie was better at this song. That's saying something...
Ohh yeah I see it now!!
I thought she was better than I expected.

I won't be rushing to see Sweet Charity based on that.
A silly wig and poor choreography I thought too.
so did I, it was great!
