So I assume one Nancy will go next weekend!
Who do you predict will be the first to go home??????

I don't know who will go but for no reason whatsoever I'll say Francesca.

I'll guess Rachel or Tara as I don't really know anything about them

Im guessing Niamh or Keisha

Niamh looks far too young & fragile so could be a strong possibility.

The weakest for me is Tara, and I have my reasons for that as I have seen her perform, but to be honest you guys it is impossible for you to even guess at this stage, as you have not seen any of them perform properly.

How can you say that playhousechick?
You dont know who any of us are!
Maybe we have heard some of them sing

I've heard four of them sing outside of the show.

Thats what happens when you are a professional actor/singer, you act and sing and then people watch you!!

oooohhhh how interesting...who are you speilberg, who are you????? HA HA. ofcourse I do not have a clue who you are, and vice versa. I am sorry for not making myself clear and I meant hearing them perform as Nancy specifically, maybe you have too, I have and that is why I have my least favourite as a Nancy, its not that they are not very talented, just for me, Not right for Nancy.

OOoh starry eyes do I sense a bit of sarcasm!!!! Lowest form of wit ya know.

Unfortunatley even as professionals, depends on what show your'e in, because even then sometimes people DON'T come and watch you!!!!

Well I cant tell you as no doubt you cannot tell me who you are
All I can say is wait till you hear the girls sing their live songs on Saturday! (If you havent already).....

Never playhousechick, I wouldn't dare!

P.s Tell me about it!

OOOh this really is interesting, someone who seems to have some inside info, like myself, ha ha!!!! I love it.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA, you funny, expected response, but still very funny

The only reason I watch really is to hear John Barrowman say " I'd like to take a Nancy up the west end!"

Or "Oh look a room full of Nancys waiting for me"

I can actually tell you a funny story along those lines.

At the BBC auditions, as you know Barrowman had a little chat with the auditionee and then asked them to perform but it took a couple of tries, in how he would phrase it, because for the first couple of days of recalls he kept saying eg.....
"ok Cleopatra, show us your Nancy!!!!"
Ha ha,
they soon insisted that he come up with something different as a couple of the girls were going into state of shock when being propositioned in such a way by a gorgeous gay man.

So are any of you folk "in the know" going to reveal yourselves?

By PM if you prefer as I'm dead nosey!

I am afraid I cannot reveal where my info is from, not even by PM as I learnt before even posting on these forums that the BBC check them to see what people are saying, so its best not too, sorry!!!

Sorry, I wouldn't want you to get into trouble

It's very interesting when people have a good knowledge of the subject though

No, dont worry, I know you wouldn't but believe me I will give you as much info as I possibly can. As much as I do not want to take away anything that the final 12 have achieved, there is so much that is orchestrated for TV and I refuse to let the BBC get away with making out that its not. So if I can answer any of your queries I will.

Sorry I cant reveal whom I am but I can say Im in touch with the girls daily and Saturdays show is gonna be great

I'm now even more intrigued - aren't I shallow

Mr Speilberg, maybe I know you, he he he, ooh aren't we both very naughty then???? ha ha ha.

I can only say that I do know all the girls, some better then others, atleast 6 of them I have been in very close contact with from very early on in thier NANCY journey, and I am in regular contact!!!!

Ive no doubt you do know me then!
Naughty... ahhh but nice
I can say I know all the girls and it will be such a shame to see any of them go out! They have all been working extremely hard. But Im sure most if not all of them will get future work by getting into the final 12.

That is a very good point, Mr. Spielberg. (Is your first name Steven? ^_-) The TV critics have jabbered back and forth about the pros and cons of doing HDYSABLM and ADWD but there's no denying nearly every one of those candidates went on to do something succesful. If the Nancys are willing to put as much if not more work into their performances, I am sure many of them will get chances to advance their careers in MT.

I'd also say it's hard to tell until we get to hear the girls sing for a good 2-3 minutes individually so we can rate them better. I'm also looking forward to their group numbers like the Marias who did Don't Stop Me Now. Here's just a few thoughts of my own. No spamming please.

-Francesca has been chided at across the boards for being the "favorite professional". The judges saved her for the top 12 despite a virus so I believe she'll have to be outstanding to prove she was worth saving.
-Jodie's already got a lively fan base going but I can't say for certain how long she will last. It depends on her ability to balance emotion and acting with her vocal abilities. I hope she stays in; she could bring a lot of fun to this show.
-Keisha's renedition from City of Angels at her first audition blew me away. Can't wait to hear more from her.
-Jessie, Niamh, and Samantha might get the boot off for being so young but you never know. Keith Jack was 18 when he started ADWD but got voted all the way into the final. If they work hard then this show can bring out their best talents and give hopefuls like Jessie a chance to go in a career for drama. I think the girls are cute as buttons. (Niamh can come to New York anytime she wants to )
-Don't forget the missions coming up. They're a reminder that the qualifications of a WE leading man or woman include confidence, stamina, drama, teamwork, and determination and not just a good voice. Otherwise I could go back to watching AI. *gag*
-Thank you for NOT making the Olivers cry or showing those who didn't get invitations. It'd be too much to bear.
