My favourite was Nancy Nancy - I hate it that she's gone and have started thread about it!

Francesca looked good, tho we hadn't seen much of her before today. (She's the one that was in Rent, so the safe bet.)

Need to see more of most of them.

I wish they would do the songs they did at Nancy School in the live shows instead of the usual rubbish pop songs that don't tell us anything about their ability to be Nancy.

I am going to change my mind once I've heard them all sing properly but so far I like Cleopatra and Amy,

I also like one of the blonde Nancys for for personality and look as I haven't heard much of her sing.

it wasn't only the pop songs (Helena as Charlotte Church) it was the song that you can't possibly sing without an operation (Abi the week before the SF) and the song that really fits you to get you through to the final. Its not only that the songs test different things than Nancy needs but the song choice often helps determine who does well.

Don't know her name. But she was irish and had been turned down twice before trying to get into I think drama school or auditions? I liked her voice.

Nancy Nancy was the only one who gave me goosebumps when she sang "he needs me". And she already had the right accent...

I've kinda lost interest in it all now. I don't generally like girl singers and I definitely don't like kids. *sigh* I guess I will just have to get a life on Saturday nights, now.

I haven't really got a favourite yet out of the final 12, I will have to get to know them better first.

I'd have to say Francesca seems a favourite owing to her status as Connie's flatmate/Denise's castmate in Rent, but she's not my favourite.

Jessie seemed impressive.

It was such a muddle tonight it was difficult to tell who was who, but I liked what I saw of Jessie, Tara and the Irish girl, I think her name was Mimah.

I think the irish one you're talking about is niamh. I was impressed by her also although she hasn't featured very much in the last two shows. Her audition is very good from looking on the BBC website.

To be honest, I can't remember a lot of them. I might be biased by the Irish Nancy is lovely and also the girl who got the last place tonight - is her name Cleo? She's good too.

Names escape me but I like the over the top person because she makes me laugh though I think she should be the innkeeper's wife in Les Mis rather than Nancy.

I liked Cleo though I'm not sure about her voice and I liked the Irish girl who keeps getting turned down for drama school.

I was also stunned when Nancy Nancy went out, why did they make such a fuss last week about her when they must have known she wasn't going to make it through.

OT but the Olivers that they chose were pretty poor. I remember being quite impressed with the youngsters last week but the ones that went through couldn't sing or act except that little welsh one.

I agree, none of them came across that well. ALW/CM said 100 times they wanted a streetwise kid with edge. Cut to about 5 alabaster-skinned posh boys at prep school music lessons/rugby etc. being called to read out their scroll in cut glass English and singing like Aled Jones! So not much sticking to the strategy there - and anyway the point about Oliver is that he is not streetwise and has to learn not to be taken advantage of, he is a pure child in a fairly rotten world.

My favourite Nancy was Nancy, confused she was cut, must have been her acting. I like the girl that got through at the end, beautiful with very curly hair and I like Jodie, think she could do well. Very difficult to tell, I didn't remember seeing some of the final 12 at all to date.

I like the girl from Edinburgh with red hair - (Ashley?), the girl from Blackpool, the one from Ireland with a lot of curls (I think she's Irish) and a blonde one with longish hair but I don't remember who is who!

I think Jessie from Ireland has it all, but she could be really up against it as you cannot vote from Ireland she has a look, she has a voice, and and the very few bits we saw( love to hear complete song) she has presence on stage and the camera loves her. god the pressure last night was cruel like singing to escape the gas chambers wouldnt wish it on anyone.

Wasn't really impressed by any of them. Francesca is clearly the chosen one and will be the one pushed as the safe bet. The only one with any potential at all was one of the younger girls who seemed to have something along the right lines vocally. The rest are no way strong enough to play the role in the West End.

I thought the standard dropped with Joseph last year but this is like a bad am dram audition.
