As you know he was always a favourite of mine but you make a very good point about judging and it is so obvious how they allocate songs on who they want to stay or go aka Daniel. He had some stinkers I am going to be watching avidly to see if I can guess who their chosen one is this series ( I know I said I wouldn't get hooked again!!) ![]() Yep, it was the week Ben did 'Help Yourself' and I was totally smitten. And he was actually better in the group performances than the solos, I am actually embarassed about how many times I've watched 'Do you love me' on youtube ![]() The Daniel situation was ridiculous, they kept telling him he needed to show more edge, not be so nice, and then gave him the blandest songs in living memory. ![]() Likewise, giving someone a great song can turn it around. I love Craig (how could you not love Craig?) But giving him 'This is the moment' was clearly designed to keep him in the competition. It saved his ass at a crucial point. He probably shouldn't have finished as high as he did. |

Yeah, my thoughts too. After watching them all perform on Saturday, I mentally rejected these three straight away and figured the competition would only get interesting when they were gone.
That said, Amy's performance wasn't bad at all and she didn't deserve to go on the strength of it. It's just that she is utterly unsuitable for the part. I thought the bottom two should have been Tara and Ashley, with Tara leaving. Who's voting for Tara? ![]() Actually Amy looks acts and sounds like a damaged version of Nancy on her audition and lost all her useful points in an equally bad choice of performance, stylist and dress. |

Well I haven't got a stand out favourite at the moment - but I did quite like Amy. I thought Francesca sang better in the sing off but it still wasn't an outstanding performance.
What did you think of the Group performance? I thought it was awful and I'm sorry Jodie but you looked like someone had bought their mum along. Even if they were all pros I just don't think you can learn and develop and practice and stage all that lot to a high standard. Most musicals don't have that many songs to sing in them for any character and most singing shows (FA or X Factor only require people to learn one a week- with the FA students struggling with 3-4 in later weeks with less complicated dancing too) Even if a pro can learn the songs , not everyone is a pro and a song that develops over several days with a vocal coach before it reaches its optimal form is going to be a lot better than something put together quickly before you move on to the next one.. |

I am wondering if the Sunday show may be increasing the problems by adding too much and driving the average quality down. The girls seem now to be singing too many songs - their song, groups songs, second show songs, eviction song and elimination song at least ( and I may have missed a group song) was it that bad for teh Marias?

I disagree most leads in musicals are on stage singing practically for the whole 2 hour show. And that is 8 times a week. I don't think they are singing any more than previous shows. Don't forget they now have the Olivers doing a turn or two as well
You wouldn't learn the musical in a week though . If you learn a third of a musical with lots of solos/duets/groups and ensembe singing like SOM in a week or as much as anyone gets to sing in many other musicals its bound to be underdeveloped, not thought through, under-rehearsed and unpolished. Here the girls seem to be doing as many songs in a week as Nancy sings/reprises in the whole show. |

Can't wait until next week's show with the Billy Elliot lads, the forum is going to have a meltdown if they do something from the show and sing with a Geordie accent.

Plus the Sunday show is filmed on the Saturday anyway, so its not an extra day of filming its all done together. |

Should be good! Difference between Oliver and Billy Elliot though is "Billy" carries that show whereas in Oliver! "Oliver" is only a supporting character, think it was on a Billy Elliot documentary I heard that.
