Melanie has just the right sort of voice for Mrs Johnstone. Big, Earthy, warm .... I saw
Marti Webb play the role once and she was too polished and perfect. Niki Evans was far better. Its a role like Nancy in OLIVER! and the actress who plays it has to have that maternal, salt-of-the-earth quality for it to work.
@ no mel is a MUCH better singer she sounds more scouse than Vivienne because obviously she's from Liverpool and her voice is perfect for the role! Mel c is by far the best Mrs J so far!! Plus she is putting on that scouse voice because now she doesnt sound very scouse ;)
@XhorsesXruleX yep she is putting it on because she lost her scouse accent for her singing career but lucky for us that when Mel comes home she hears scouse everywhere :)
a singer is a singer, the characters are different that's all. Tracy Spencer played Mrs Lyons on the tour and I saw her understudy as Mrs Johnstone... an actress can take on any role.
seen it twice with melanie in, she is awesome, i dont think you can compare Melanie and Vivienne just because they are so different, and have different backgrounds, i was in the Joseph with Vivienne years ago and i remember thinking how awesome her voice was then too! love this show thanks for putting the clipsp up :)
I think very diff styles, Mel c is in character I guess, hence her accent and that viv sounds very posh and excellent, but Melanie C also sounds great.
You can't compare the two ... it's like comparing apples to oranges! Both have strong voices and project well but are completely different in style. Maybe you prefer Vivienne's style over Melanie's and thats ok!
I agree with you =) I think its hard to even compare musicans with each other. I mean they all sings and do difference stuff and they are all great in their own ways.
woo i know vivienne shes a really close friend of my familys (: xx

Melanie C deserves an award. She ´s incredible and I´ve already known how fantastic Melanie C could be.
