I thought Jessie was perfect for Nancy! I know everyone's idea of Nancy is different, when we read the book, we all conjure up our own image of Nancy and for me, Jodie just wasn't it. In my mind Jodie looks a bit too old to be playing Nancy and I always imagined Nancy having curly hair as well lol. But it wasn't just that, Jodie's voice is OK and I know she was consistant throughout the show, but Jessie really blew me away with her As Long As He needs me, I didn't get anything from Jodie's performance of it, even when she'd won I hoped she be blown away by the result and give me goosebumps like Jessie did when she sung, but I just didn't get anything. I think Jessie's interaction with the kids was great to, I can't even remember what Jodie sung with her Oliver as I was blown away by Jessie and Gwion!
Yes, I am really dissapointed with the result... I don't think I will see it with Jodie as Nancy as she just isn't Nancy to me. I might try and go when she's on holiday to catch the understudy (miaow!) because her voice, acting and her look just doesn't say Nancy to me.
