Truly Scrumptious
For me Truly Scrumptious was the performance of the series. I loved it.

I absolutely loved it too, but I do think the majority of its appeal and magic came from Gwion - I could see other girls doing it as much or more justice to it as Jessie.

Yes, Truly Scrumptious was lovely, but to be fair; Gwion is just the definition of cuteness and that song adds to that.
I've said it before on other threads, but I'll say it again, just because I'm stubborn that way :I think they should have had all of the girls perform with the boys more, throughout the series. I think it would have made a huge different for both the girls and the boys if we had seen more interaction. The way she connects with children is a big part of Nancy's character and I think if all the girls could have done duets with the boys, we might have had a completely different final. |

However if they did do duets they probably needed to be a little more careful in choosing the songs and indeed the partners. I mean I know Sam was singing purely for herself in her duet and didn't really interact at all with Oliver, but she did seem to draw the short straw with both her Oliver and Singing In The Rain (it doesn't really work as a duet for me). |

I also seem to say this again and again, but I do think Sam got a raw deal in terms of her duet song. "Singin' in the rain" isn't about a child and an adult like the other two; it's not even a duet - so it's not very surprising that there wasn't much chemistry between the two, because the song didn't give them room for interaction, and the choreography wasn't as intimate as the other two's. I was also aware that they paired the youngest Nancy with the oldest Oliver and it didn't feel like a child-adult relationship, more like two individual performers on a similar footing doing their own thing, and as such wasn't the "awww cute" performance of the other two. |

Completely agree, as usual! Even the two Nancy/Oliver performances they did show (Niamh's and Sarah's) were shown after the lines have closed; if they were shown on the Saturday I'm sure it would have made a difference.

Agreed again!

I thought the whole thing was unbelievably cute.
If not unbearably cute. I couldn't stop smiling the whole way through it. I don't think that routine would have worked aswell with any of the other Nancys or olivers. I aslso quite liked Jodie's and lawrence's routine. Sam and Harry didn't look anything like Nancy and oliver together and the song was useless. |

I agree about Gwion. There is something rather self-conscious about him, but Truly Scrumptious was his best performance, I think.

At least Gwion looks younger than he is. Oliver is meant to be nine or ten years old. |

I think he's adorable, Harry and Lawrence don't look very streetwise either. More like boarding school toffs.

Niamh would have been best at Truly Scrumptious - she would be just perfect for the part.

I don't think she was actually short at all- she was one of the tallest, as far as I could tell! That's what annoyed me when Barry made that silly comment related to her being the same size as the Olivers (or something along those lines). Rachel is way shorter than her, for a start!
