agreed on Tim Rice... his work with him is superior to his later stuff imo... really not a fan of Phantom

Ooh! We've got stuck on Lord ALW!

I'll break my own rule and ask what people think about who reads which posts.

I think, generally, people only read the last one or two at any one time in any thread, and/or the ones that have been posted since they themselves last posted (if you see )

I cant be bothered reading all the posts sorry. There are so many.

Well I am sick of all the pop/boring pop songs that Jessie is being given.
Liked her singing One night only and The man that got away. Killing me softly was good, but I hate that song so much. I also liked hurt.

Yes she does have the look for Nancy I agree! But she is starting to become very unomfortable looking on the last two shows. She was way better to start with. What have they done to her! Why did they make her dance in that way. It kinda seemed that they were setting her up to get voted off.
She has the best vioce by far.

Thanks, Flame.

I agree that those "torch" songs are closer to the Nancy requirement than most of the pop/rock stuff.

So do you think Melvin, that it's difficult for us humble viewers to make an informed decision on who should be Nancy? We're so rarely shown them doing anything that relates to the role they'll be playing!

So many times, after a really good, meaty ALAHNM - we go -'ooh! They were quite good at that after all! Wish we'd seen them do it before!Might have voted for them if I knew how good they were at MT songs!'

I tend to agree with you there Boogie.

It has degenerated into yet another Karaoke competition, or even just a popularity contest.

In particular, we haven't seen them do much acting.

Well, I don't, totally


Whether or not the voting public are capable (of what you say -- some, like you, clearly are, while some aren't) is by the by.

Why confuse what could already be a difficult decision?

I don't recall any rounds of Miss Great Britain with the contenders wearing football strip, SCUBA gear or gasmasks.

But how can we judge whether any of them are capable to play Nancy if we never SEE any of them playing Nancy?

I think we're arguing, but saying the same thing?

I'm meaning that the stuff they do should be close to Nancy, and that old pop stuff (Dancing in the Street) and new pop stuff (Valerie) is not really very helpful.

Jessie has the voice suited to a musical career rather than a pop career she would make a brlliant Nancy if people would just let her alone, the judges especially John Barrowman keep putting her down and Praising Sam which i do'nt understand at all. After all if she got the role she would have about 5 months to prepar thats a lot of practice, is it only Andrew Lloyd Webber and Barry Humphries that can see the potential in her to play the role.

Thanks, Tang, I agree...

Thanks, Tang, I still agree

Well I don't !!

(I do really I was just being contentious!)

Thanks, Mama -- and I didn't get the chance to apologise for unintended friction over the last 36 hrs or so.

I've decided to have a "nice" two weeks...

Nice is good!
