Over the last few weeks, she's been most positive about Rachel, and has expressed concerns about Jodie's vocal range (for example, noting that last week's I Have Nothing was transposed downwards, making her worry).
I'm talking with Zoe's agent to see if we can do something online in the run-up to the grand final -- but until then, she'll be in the print edition of The Stage every week.”

Hi Scott. Thanks for that, I hope you get the online thing off the ground.
I don't understand why Zoe's worried. Surely she knows the vocal range of Nancy as well as the rest of us. I Have Nothing was transposed into a similar register to Nancys. Having Jodie struggle with a high soprano register would have served no purpose whatsoever. Jodie's range is absolutely fine for Nancy.
It's like they're watching something else!”
