I think it`s the one ALW said would suit Legally Blonde - bit too old looking for Dorothy for a start.

Yes, that's her.

I think she could have looked younger if she hadn't had obviously false lashes on plus a very adult hairdo. She actually looked more like someone out of Mad Men.

I thought she came across really well, but no way would she win a sing off unless the other person was someone ALW actively wanted rid of.

Dorothy is supposed to be a 12 year old orphan. How can a 20 something Page 3 blond play that part? That's why she doesn't stand a chance, even if she can sing and why ALW suggested she'd be better in Legally Blonde.

I know it is easier to cast somebody older for the role, i.e. they don't have to follow child labour laws and have everybody CRB checked and all of that but I wish they would use genuine children for the parts of children, like Faruza Balk in 'Return to Oz.'

Agreed. Also I'm glad that Claire didn't go through. She was way too tall for the part (terrible posture too...)

Amy would have been my choice to go. She has a good voice but imo looked totally wrong for this role.

I thought Emilie was the weakest vocally of the 11.

You all want to know who went home?

Ok. I can only hold out so long.....

Dorothy went home.

I hope you're happy!

This is getting a bit tedious FXDUX. Either spill or quit bringing it up.

Apologies for the bluntness, but I'm not a fan of this kind of teasing.

*Evil cackle*

I only posted it because you just asked me to post on the spoiler thread. But I am a lion of principle.

Or else a cowardly, cowardly lion.

Agreed.

Put 'em up!

Oh, do sod off.

LaurieMarlow, you should be ashamed of yourself! Can you, hand on tin heart, honestly say that you did not just bait me to post on this thread?

Come out from behind your curtain and reveal the truth!

What, fisty cuffs?

Yes I did ask you to post on this thread. You were hinting like crazy on another thread and I asked you to stop messing with people's heads and either spill the beans or drop it. Obviously if you were going to spill you'd have to do it here. But i can see I'm wasting my time, so I shall take my tin heart away and leave you to your games

You are the weakest link goodbye.

But I will forgive you for alerting me to your 'Chosen One' theory earlier.

What wicked green rot! I didn't make any hints, apart from kindly and generously disclosing a show tidbit, which was that Sophie, randomly selected, sang the farewell song in the rehearsal. Which happens to have been true.

You are the wizard of dissembling, LaurieMarlow, and me and my monkeys aren't having it.

Ohh shh you lot, it is time

Didn't Andrew Lloyd-Webber remark to her last night that she would be ideal for the lead role in 'Legally Blonde' or was I dreaming?

He didn't mention 'lead role' but that she would be good in something like Legally Blonde. Elle Woods has many frat' girlfriends ... it could be that he was alluding too.

Amy went

You're too late - Nancy is already cast

But the frat girl friends are Elle's understudy, Brooke, Brooke's understudy, Paulette's understudy, someone very geeky, someone very sassy...they all have to look right for their roles in the frat house and they seem all to have been picked to look like their lead and who was in the US show. Amy can't act like Sheridan, she's not black and sassy or geeky , she can't sing or dance like Jill and she's not going to skip and sing Whipped into Shape to get act two going like Aoife.......

She would be better off in something like Mama Mia or Grease where there are roles for pretty girls with good voices to get going in.

Told you it was Amy.
