Don't judge her popularity like that, seems like some just say that's the only reason for her place in the competition which is clearly not true.

I could say Jodie or Jessie are there just because they're attractive.

I think a dancing mission would scare her to death.....she doesnt seem to have a natural sway......its very stompy.

She needs a dance coach to take her back to basics.......in heels........#

I would like to see more of the mission stuff for much longer.......we are not seeing much and that makes me wonder..........why?

This week is make or break for everyone I think.

Well except Rachel who I fear is already broken.

I know 2 minutes of the mission is never enough, lets have less of the Who isn't Nancy and more of the actual mission.

i think the public is Rachels problem.....they have not warmed to her.....and see her as manipulative........Im not sure why........but she is the pro....and her performances have been very amaturish...which was a shock....

But surely the bigger question is.....

why are they only showing 2 minutes out of something which has obviously taken hours....even the Joe got more air time.........the pub scene.weird...........we saw hardly any of it......why ?

Don't you think though in the nancy boots they wear she is fine, its just the rediculous sky scraper things, which she'd never have to wear anyway, she's uncomfortable in.

I think for other roles she would need to work on being more graceful, but for nancy i think it is to her advantage, nancy has lived her life on the streets surrounded by men, so she isn't going to be the most graceful of characters

i know what you mean about the missions, i can't remember, did they show as much in any dream will do?

I can easily visualise Jessie's "look" as being Nancy.... I can easily visualise her voice as being Nancy, but her movement and acting is a definite no for me. I don't think you can blame her partner for her poor performance in the Joe section on Saturday, either. In fact, when she was in hold with her partner, she didn't look too bad, but I cringed when she went solo, as it were. I don't buy into BH's comments that her movements are coltish - they're ungainly, and totally lack rhythm. The Nancy role isn't just singing - she HAS to be able to move, dance AND sing.....plus ACT!!!! Jessie has a future, I'm sure, but she's just not ready yet. She seems very sensitive too, and I feel the critics would slaughter her if she got the role...and who knows what lasting damage that could do to a very promising young talent. I'm not a Jessie hater, I can see her potential, but have to agree with Casper...she needs help and a lot of training. Given the right training, she could be awesome, imo.

So out of the ones left who are the experienced. From what I know Rachel is clearly most experienced, I know Jodie's been in a few musicals (think they mentioned it in her audition), Jessie I have no idea about and Sam was just doing her A-levels right?

But surely the bigger question is.....

Ask Lordy

Oh no! I don't mean she is only popular because she is pretty. I just think many people vote with their heart not their head. I can see her as Nancy to an extent but I don't think she's the best.

That's only my opinion, of course.

yes the joes had a whole acting mission where they had to show emotion then anger.........and singing on top of the barricade...........then you got the half naked joe song....

this one has been very selective.......

It would be the best thing ALW could do for her....

Sorry didn't mean to jump just wouldn't want people to think that was the only reason people vote. I think the majority of people vote with their hearts then again if we go and see it in the West End with our hearts.

All this heart talk makes no sense! lol

Rachel has been lead with Fran as her understudy.not sure what in tho.

Jodie - not sure, but she does have experience.

two there girls..think just school plays......Jessie has been turned away from two acting schools...

...like he would tell us......they truth...

I think you also have to look at what winning might do for them if they are the wrong choice....what damage it could do...........can they handle it.....how do they handle it....
they need to get their feet wet more...

sometimes to get the best......you have to work abit harder at it.....It wouldnt surprise me if a contract was not ready for Jessie after the show........under ALW...for future shows........

What I'd like to know is how many of the theatre goers watch IDA.

Mind you I can't talk of not voting with my head. If Jessie did a reprise of "Fighter" I'd still vote for her Although probably more out of pity than anything else...

if your voting for pity..and its not a vote against ALW then your doing her no favours.

I know I know.

But with or without my vote(s) another performance like that and she's pretty much doomed.

As long as she makes it to the final I'll be happy

but your not voting for the best performance then.......your voting coz you like her......even if she sings like a banshee

I know as I said by this stage in the competition I'm voting with my heart.

She did look slightly demented in both shows that week.

That was her worst song throughout the series

Hopefully they wont give her another one like that now towards the end.
