Yes, same as every week. If Niamh sang early the programme was over!!! Haha. Hopefully we'll get to see quite a bit of her next week.

Yeah I agree. It lacked exitement cause I couldn't get exited about Niamh's performance as I have done every week previously.
I was disappointed Jonny and Alexander didn't make it so that kinda put a downer on it too. But on the positive side Harry was my favourite so I'm pleased for him...and Lawrence.

Last week Niamh was the target on this forum and now she's gone Sam seems to be getting all the harsh comments.

Yeah, agree with both of you. Thought Jonny and Chester should have been there and thought Chester especially was a dead cert. I don't get it either Ben!

Yeah, I like Sam but I wasn't nearly as bothered without Niamh - the olivers were the highlight for me

It seems as if you're young and pretty you're subjected to negativity. That's one thing I haven't missed this week, Niamh being the target. Although I would have loved to see her performing again this week, because the show was not as exciting for me as usual, the negative comments did get to me at times. Niamh may not have been 'Nancy-esque' but I fail to see how people can say her voice was 'weak', I'm not being biased here (well maybe I am ) but I really think Niamh has an outstanding voice for a 17 year old.

We know the truth!

Niamh definitely has an outstanding voice.

I missed her too on this week's show. She has a great individual style and I always looked forward to her performances.

It'll be good to see her in the group performance in the final and then hopefully before too long we'll see her on a WE stage.

sup Niamh appreciators

aww I'm gonna miss Niamh in the mission vid- not that they showed her much

I LOVE the first mission, when she's singing "Who will buy my lovely strawberries", and her, Sarah and Cleo are dancing around

hehe

Hey Lou! Are those on youtube? I've looked for them and not found many. The comedy and hitting the guy over the head are there. I loved her in those! Lovely.

yup that AvUK person has them all on her page

Thanks Lou! I'll have a look later. Look forward to them. Jessie will be out tonight. That's my guess anyway.

Haha I love that bit! It's adorable. They hardly ever showed much of her in the missions though.

I was wrong! Haha. Jodie will win next week I think.

But more importantly, we'll be seeing Niamh!!! Wooooooo hooooooo!

I'm not sure who will win. Mostly I think Jodie will but Jessie has the potential to pull out another show stopping performance. It could be close.

However, like you I'm looking forward to seeing Niamh and some of other ex-Nancies. I wonder if they'll all make it back as some now have other jobs.

hey, any news of Niamh getting any roles?

Niamh's auditioned for Leisel in SOM.

not like that thread said tho, she hasn't been handed it or anything

she auditioned but through the same process as everyone else

It would be great to see Niamh get a WE role but she should also think about further study. She would really benefit if she could get a place in a good drama college and do more vocal training. She's so young a year or so studying could pay dividends later in her career.

However, if she get's a role that would also be good so I guess that given her talent she'll end up a winner either way.

yeahhh

thing is, cos it isnt the lead, it would be good for her in a few ways

- she would benefit from being on the actual west end stage
- she would learn lots from the vocal and acting coaches
- people who didn't watch the show or didn't particularly think she was Nancy will see her in a role that suits her, gaining her fans and support, making her a popular actress and producers will want her as their lead

dont forget Niamh's just taken an A Level in music and drama, so I reckon she's got a good enough knowledge

but I do agree that it would also be beneficial to go to theatre school

its up to her at the end of the day

Hi everyone. I got home too late for the results show and I'm gutted. I thought Rachel was amazing last night, blew everyone else out of the water, and I don't know how she was in the bottom 2. I'll have to wait for iplayer to see it.

Totally. I think there is a lot of older, talentless and ugly people on the forums who are just jealous.
For anyone to say Niamh has a weak voice for a 17 year old they obviously don't have a clue because she wouldn't have even been in the final 12 if she did have a weak voice and I bet they couldn't sing as half as good as she can at that age.
Nah you're not being biased, you just recognise talent when you see it. Whether people are fans of her or not surely they can see that she's incredibly talented for her age.

Exactly. Her voice is just stunning. I'd like to hear Niamh sing something classical, from the one little line we heard of her singing in that style in True Colours; I think she'd be amazing

Grade 8 distinction has 2 qualify for some form of talent haha

and yeah I wanna hear more of it too

Even forgetting her age, she's super talented. She's just fantastic! And I don't understand people not liking her. All of the last 12 are talented. Well, I don't know how Tara, was that her name?, made it through the first round to be honest (I had to mute the TV eventually!) but all the others were good. And I imagine a lot of the ones that just missed out were good too. Niamh's a lot better than good though! She's goooooood!

why is Niamh on the second page?

I wouldn't know where the page goes. I come directly to here. How are you today Lou? And other Niamh fans (people with more than 7 brain cells)? Haha.

That's weird, as an old, talentless person (well 46) I was thinking it was the youngsters being negative!

I agree though that too many people are complete experts - yet strangely have not yet made it in the world of MT.
