1. YAY! MUSICALS!
![]() 2. Eeeeeek. I do hope she does that song justice. That's one of the best MT songs ever (at least I think so...). Fingers crossed for her... she was sitting so high in my estimations too- if she murders it she may just slip down my rankings. (& it was one of the ones I really wanted Sarah to sing... *stillpleasantlybitter*)

I'm all for them singing MT this week. All other genres seem inappropriate for this competition. |

I've never read anything about what songs the girls were going to be singing that turned out to be true.
I'm all for them singing MT this week. All other genres seem inappropriate for this competition. I'm in two minds about that song for Sam. It's going to go terribly wrong, or very right. It could feasibly win her the competition if she nails it. I like Sam, but even if she's off with the vocal the panel will probably still orgasm over it. I do hope they're given proper MT songs, and not movie-soundtrack-turned-musical songs though. Unfortunately I'm imagining Jodie with something like Footloose after Andrew's comments last week.

Really? The rumours on DS are usually pretty accurate...

MT songs at last!
Wow, what a song for Sam. If she pulls it off it'll be fantastic. I agree with LaLaLaur, it's either going to be really great or a disaster. Any idea what any of the other girls are singing (i.e Niamh )?

I agree - so difficult. Even Idina Menzel had difficulties with that ending. Sam does have the belt, but she's quite inconsistent and prone to shouting, so I'm worried already!
![]() ![]() I think if she practises it enough it should be fantastic and could win her the show

But I would say Defying Gravity is pretty hard to master if you're an alto (which is for the most part where Nancy's voice resides, no?) The versions I've seen sheet music for are pretty high...I'm so worried she gets shouty with it though. I'm a big Idina Menzel fangirl, this could be a bit of an "OWCH" moment. |

Well yay for musical theatre week. After last week's dire effort I'm glad they've decided to let them do what they're good at.
As for Sam I dunno. It might be fine, she really does have a good belt. I'm never sure if she has anything at all in the way of head voice, but maybe she won't need it. How high does that number go, does anyone know? I'm sure it will be adjusted to her range anyway. But massive potential for tuning problems.Sink or swim for her. If she pulls it off she'll be blazing into the finals, but if not, she could be on very shaky ground. Andrew will always have the 'oh but it was such a difficult song' card up his sleeve though, if she gets into trouble. |

I personally don't find it that hard to sing- agreed it requires belt and lots of stamina and warming up, but it's not as if it's high
![]() I think if she practises it enough it should be fantastic and could win her the show ![]() ). I'm mainly concerned that Samantha'll a) shout it or b) miss the note (because even if it's not a particularly difficult note to hit, it's a bloody obvious one if you don't get it - see Idina Menzel at the Royal Variety Performance!).Maybe I'm worried about nothing though. I do hope for her sake she does it well because it could do her the world of good in the competition. |
