I've loved Jessica since her first audition. Her performance of Rehab was outstanding.

She'll be an amazing Dorothy.

Aw, I love her too

She's got such a gawky sweetness about her, so lively and witty. I think she'd make a lovely Dorothy.

My suspicion at this stage is that Andrew will back her until quite late in the competition when he suddenly decides he wants a safer option - kind of like Siobhan in Maria or Niamh in Nancy. I hope i'm wrong though.

Count me in

She's not the strongest singer but I can't take my eyes off her. She's a very engaging girl.

And her slight awkwardness and quirky nature would suit the character of Dorothy well I think.

You could be right, being my favourite is usually the kiss of death.

Siobhan? I got the impression he was behind Connie all the way and as for IDA i felt his preference toward the end was ABJ (Anyone But Jodie) - must say I agreed with him.

Whatever - currently she's still top of my list - but there's a long way to go.

I like Jessica too, she has charisma - in my top four at the moment.

She is definately the most charismatic of the bunch IMO but I'm not sure she's a little bit too knowing for Dorothy. She doesn't have Dorothy's innocence

She'd be superb in Cabaret or a more sexy role

The same thought occurred to me during their Broken Heels group routine. She is certainly a mesmerising performer and has a very beguiling way about her. She was one of my favourites after the first auditions, but I think you might be right about her being a bit too knowing. It'll be interesting to see if she can tone that down over the coming weeks, which will depend on the song choice.

I like her a lot.

Yes she is fabulous. A total star. (although her voice is a bit iffy at times) She has a rather knowing face though and looks a little more mature than some of the others too.

She may be able to tone that down. I don't think singing Rehab helped

Oh no not cabaret, her dancing in 'All that Jazz' was hilarious, especially her flick hip in the middle..

But, I do like this girl, she's in my top three. I find her so entertaining to watch, I don't know what it is about her.
Though I only started to like her during 'All that Jazz'

I agree OP, I loved Jessica since the first audition too.

She lights up the stage. I think she would be perfect as Dorothy, hopefully she'll go from strength to strength.

I like Jessica but she is way off from being a Dorothy but she will get enough exposure from this for a more mature, sassy role.

I think Jessica really stands out so she's my favourite. Reminds me of the receptionist in Doc Martin. I hope that's not just me

It's sad this thread was buried a few pages back. Yes Jessica didn't have a great week but I'm sticking with her in hopes she'll take the judges' comments and turn it around. I think she needs to focus more, come back down to earth and by the sounds of it get a decent night's sleep.

I'll be rooting for her on next week's show. Anyone else still supporting her?

Love Jessica. Hope she gets a good song next week though (not impressed with the choices so far). Sophie is up there for me too.
