This wasnt personal.............it was professional.......it was their job...........

your acting like JB skint her puppy........he was talking about her performance.....and he said she was great......but not consistant..........

Thats 4 shows.

Maybe he has a temper...I can see my mother doing that.

Anyway JB is more of a TV actor these days.

maybe he has...but he also had a choice......and if he did he chose to hurt Jessie...........

Im hoping JB is a bigger man..........emotionally as well

Call me cynical () but do you think that they may suddenly announce that due to the popularity and demand for the chosen leading lady that she will now perform all 8 performances!!

true but is funny how this happens from Jessie's dad to JB and it is poor John, he was just doing his job. but if ALW and CM make bad comments people call them unprofessional and every name in the book. JB deserved to be told off, he was just as unprofessional as ALW and CM. Bad critique is fine, no problem. but then he would bring her up in other girls judging time. pathetic. he should have told DVO to piss off too for calling his daughter unfeminine.

i am kidding generally, but there is hypocrisy.

he is probably against gay people too. tough irish man.

Jessiewill be trained to take over as Nancy - she is the one that CM wanted. Jodie will have a limited contract.

Yea all Irish fathers are anti gay thats why the gay men run to England to host t.v shows like this.

Oooh well I was nearly right - it has now been changed to 6 performances ... both performances on the Saturdays now included.

Quite right too.

Jessie perfromance was good, but too shouty at the end for me.

A shame she has an embarrassing dad. Shouldn't hold that against her though.

I think that Jessie's dad was spot on.
John Barrowman went well beyond the call of duty in preventing Jessie getting the role of her dreams.
Negative comments after her performance are understandable - but he was at her at every opportunity.

There is nothing lost by making an enemy of someone who already stabs you in the back every chance he gets.

JB was so bad that when celebrating the result - I am of the oppinion that he was overjoyed more by Jessie losing than by Jodie winning.

thats brilliant........she must have a huge following.......I would love to see the voting figure.......

amazing performance.... a total wow

I disagree..........JB has always been a supporter of Jodie and he liked Jessie I think he was just frustrated at her lack of development/improvement/inconsistancy. I think he was happy Jodie won......even tho ALW/CAM/BH had stood for Jessie.........both DVO and JB were routing for Jodie.

as for Jessie dad, she cant be held responsible for him......but he should have known better.....

Her breath before her last 'me' tells me she was feeling every word

Don't all shoot me down but for me it was nice to have a split panel for a change - rather than the whole panel championing one person as so often happens.

I think he has made it clear that he wouldn't want to work with her anyway.

Can I remind people this is a rumour and we don't know what happened.

It could have been the JB went over to her and was being fake....and Jessie didn't want to know.

I think JB has been completely unprofessional in this programme and prob lost the part for Jessie. emotions were running high - I can understand why it was said. I don't imagine he just went over to him and said it

Guys guys, we don't know if it's even true that Jessie's dad told John to piss off do we!
It could be the first tabloid kinda 'ooer' to stir the pot. It's a bit mean to say shame she's got an embarrassing Dad too!
Besides, he probably was feeling very gutted and disappointed for his daughter last night and part of me fully understands why he did it if he did.

Wow so much tension in this post love in it.

Jessie was her best ever last night...

whether she was better than Jodie or not is irrelevant.

However - JB and DVO, as performers (Again, personal skills irrelevant) know that in casting, if you present as inconsistent over 3 callbacks/auditions you ain't likely to be recalled a 4th time surely?

To have championed Jessie in the face of her inconsistency surely, despite her flashes of 'fire', must go against the grain of the industry and would have been a massive contradiction in typical casting procedure. (Never mind hugely risky)

I know nothing about the industry but that's how it seems to moi

I think that DVO was very fair - she initially championed Jessie and then late on voiced doubts that she was not ready. [Possibly having been convinced so by JB.] This is what she was employed to do.

JB on the other hand was a disgrace - simply vengeful.

I thought her ALAHNM was absolutely brilliant!

Yeh Denise was ok tonight.
