Sorry but I haven't liked Jordan at all - he always looks way too "stagey" and annoys both me and my children.

Jonny is our favourite but I am quite concerned that ALW and CM maybe having to think about the boys heights now -if Sarah became Nancy some of the boys are nearly as tall as her now
I love Kwayedza, he has a brilliant voice but he towers over the rest of the Ollies. I want Jonny to go through too, I'd adopt them all actually. Apart from Sam, he looks the double of my nephew and he eats crayons, my nephew, not Sam. As far as I know.

I'm beginning to lose hope for Harry. And I couldn't give a rats ass about any of the others. How the rest of you keep track of names, I'll never know.

I copied and pasted Kwayedza from here and I only knew the little blonde thing was called Sam due to an earlier post!

I want Gareth and Jonny, but Harry instead of Sam. Well actually, I wouldn't mind either Harry or Sam. But I think Sam looks too much like Gwion and as bad as that sounds, because I know it shouldn't be based on looks, that's why I think he won't get through.


Also I just wanted to say, I still don't understand why Arthur was ever put through! I think Gareth, Jonny, Harry, Sam and Laurence are all better than him. I do like Arthur, think he's adorable, but there are better boys in the competition that still haven't recieved their hats.

I think Harry will go through - he always stands out in group numbers and he seems a strong actor (plus, CM has recognised him twice!). I was a bit surprised at Arthur being put through, but on second viewing he actually can sing quite well (particularly as he's the youngest!). He was probably one of the better ones in "it's a hard knock life"!

I'd like the next three to be Harry + 2 out of Gareth/Laurence/Jonny. Actually, I don't really mind that much about the next three now that my 2 favourites are through - they're all pretty good and deserve a chance. It'll be really sad to watch the four not chosen, though - I wonder if they'd still be made to perform on the quarter final week?

As i think someone already said, I imagine Oliver to be slight, soft-looking and posh by birth - a little timid etc. I think the only one who fits this is Chester!!!! I don't get the Gwion thing at all, with all due respect. I quite like Jordan (although probably not for Oliver) and I LOVE Kwayedza and his R&B voice (prob not Oliver again!). SO just Chester for me!!!!!

Sam's the other blonde, right? Aw, bless about the crayon eating. They do the strangest stuff at that age.

I think all the Olivers are really good, but am hoping the last three to go through will be Harry, Gareth and either Jonny or Sam

I would like to see Chester, Alex and Harry as the final three Olivers, although I wouldn't actually mind if any of them go through!

I keep getting Jonny and Alex missed up, they look so alike. I'm really warming to Jordan actually I'm not sure if I can see him as Oliver, more of Dodger! I hope they put through Gareth this week, I think he'd make a good Oliver.

I'm beginning to wonder if they'll consider casting one of the older boys as Dodger? Jordan and Kwyedza could both play him no problem.

My final three Olivers would be Gwion, Chester and... I actually like them all. I can't pick

I thought that about Kwayedza....he seems more mature and 'streetwise' than the rest.
Was any more said about his throat problem......is his voice breaking?

It sounds like it to me. His voice just isn't Oliver, it's definitely more Dodger like.

The Olivers are doing High School Musical tomorrow, I can't wait

Oh dear. I forgot that... I hope they're not singing a HSM song for their group number. 'We're All In This Together' gets stuck in my head for weeks.

I think it's most likely to be Stick to the Status Quo or We're All In This Together; I think it's very unlikely it'll be one from the second film as they're probably less well known among the IDA viewers. And I agree with you - I can't imagine them singing the songs from HSM! Looking forward to it though

I know what you mean. He's adorable and he is good. But there are better boys who should have been put through before him.

It will be interesting to see this HSM stuff tonight. For some reason, I imagine them singing Breaking Fre, even though it isn't an ensemble piece. I think it's the most well known, and better for displaying vocal ability.

I was just thinking that... and even listened to it to see if there are enough parts Even though it's a duet piece it would be a more Electricity style of song, in that it's a slower song that focuses more on their singing ability and I would rather hear that than "We're all in this together" - I think that might turn into a huge cheese-fest

Hope Harry goes through tonight.
