Emilie. Just saying her name is unappreciation enough.
The adoration of Jessica for "turning a contemporary song into a musical theatre number", when said "contemporary" number is basically a big band pastiche was ridiculous. Just because it was written only a few years ago doesn't mean it's contemporary in nature, or particularly difficult to turn into an inappropriate jazz-hands fest. Jenny deserves credit for managing to channel both Daphne and Celeste at the same time. I think they should cut the rest of the weeks of the competition, corrall all the terrifying stage mothers together (because every single girl had one) and make them fight for their daughters love. With knives. Winner gets to grant their daughter the role. |

I am not a fan of the handing over of the sweaty shoes.

'Over the Rainbow' turns 'Bullseye' ... I like it.

Although anyone who has come into contact with stage mums might just say it's part of the uniform anyway. At least Steph's mum has the Photo Album of Justice as extra protection. |

These shows always make me feel like a cynical old moo! But I keep on watching. The only decent one who I think could be Dorothy is Sophie - the rest are just vying for attention and are all blatantly desperate to showcase themselves. Sophie seems quiet, polite, focused and determined. Deary me. And to think I'm older than most of the contestants now is a bit scary. I'm only 20 and it's hard to believe most of them are 17/18!
But ladies and gentleman, never fear, as for I have tickets to see the live show and recorded results show next Saturday so I can come back with even more cynicism and tales to tell!

John Partridge really gets on my nerves with his over the top 'camp reality show judge' routine!
There can only be one John Barrowman, and that ain't you babe! |

I wish John Partridge was over the top and campy - at least then he might be interesting.

Never heard of him before OTR; agree with what you say, he is boring and predictable.
Coat ... I will get it, don't worry.

And while Partridge would be better stuck up a pear tree, at least Charlotte Church is a game bird.

I'd never heard of John P until he turned up in Eastenders - I have yet to see him perform musical theatre and if he was so good - why has he turned his back on it to appear in Albert Square!
Don't tell me - he sold his soul for a BBC Contract.

Mind you, it's probably just marginally more than you'd get for a West End show, and soaps do tend to last longer ![]()

The programme is being extended another 45 minutes on Saturday night, while Shela Hancock fully analyses a packet of jelly babies.

This is a tough panel, Sheila Hancock can take care of herself as well, she has skin like leather..she would see off the over-weight Aussie, Dame Edna. It would be a close call between Charlotte and Denise, but the fiesty Welsh ladette has age on her side against the slapper from Essex. These things are important when selecting judges. |

The Pink ones are rubbish at dancing. The yellow ones are too old. Does the losing Jelly Baby get to sing Over the Rainbow before getting their head bitten off? Nice review by Monkseal on wordpress BTW |

Hello all,
So far I've only managed to watch about 20 minutes of this show, and have yet to learn anyone's name, however my shallow opinions thus far is that the girl who went first seems a bit annoying and has a voice I really don't want to listen to for the next few weeks of tuning in properly and that the wild card girl wasn't that great either. I did quite like the one that went second though. Also is it wrong that I'm more excited about there being a non-appreciation thread than I am about the show itself? Iso |

I find the faces on the green ones are not expressive enough for musical theatre.
