I'd do anything - Final - Samantha

[WelshDudette91]

she's nancy in Oliver right now

[oakyannas]

Best of luck to her in Hollywood!

[DarthxErik]

i love her but her biggest area that she still needed to work on even before she did Eponine was her acting. She tends to play things very flat.

[courtneyluvsglee]

She is absolutely stunning, I love her!

[ChloeMcLellan]

And to think that two years later she became Eponine...

[bobbollu]

How many of these Andrew Lloyd Weber shows have there been? I found

"over the Rainbow" by mistake since this is a BBC show that I don't get in America.

[suzij756]

@bobbollu AS far as I know 4 for Maria, Joseph, Nancy & Oliver, and Over The Rainbow - I haven't yet seen Rainbow here in Australia yet.

[SexinessIsMine]

I love her reaction when Webber said he had to go with her and when he said she could be Nancy.

[mbod92395]

Did she win the show!? :D

[megamerryn]

@mbod92395 no but shes in les mis. jodie won

[MsMandaPanda101]

She is so beautiful. Absolutely love her as Eponine.

[tom53332]

oh she's so great (wonder if she has a boyfriend:P )

[TheJonasEmpire]

@tom53332 She does. Nick Jonas is her boyfriend :)

[Hollstaa3xx]

@TheJonasEmpire Really? Is she still dating him?!?! :)

[ncisgigfan]

@Hollstaa3xx no, Nick is dating with Delta now

[thefiercefalcon]

Every song she sang during the show fits Eponine :) I'm sure she knew Cameron was working on Les Mis lol it wasn't auditioning for Nancy it was auditioning for Cameron and Andrew's work!

[mileycyrusfan310]

:/... x ehjpdijgifj.. xxxx

[placeboeffect2004]

I thought she acted this really well, much better than Siobhan in HDYSAPLM. I completely got the emotion from her. I don't think the song choice is enough a of a show-stopper for the final though.

[tinnsell]

i was disappointed Samantha didn't win....she is the most talented young woman in this competition.

[HKE4]

I preferred Siobhan's (from Maria) voice in this song, but Sam is amazing

[faithtifa]

What is the name of the song that she sing here?

[megamerryn]

i think that she was good but not 4 nancy

[RoseT7100]

How did she not win??? Seriously. and what was with that Singing in the rain ong choice for her an dHarry. There was no connection, and that had nothing to to do with her. The song choice was just dreadful I blame who ever chose that song. It shouldn't have been judged on the same level as the songs from the other two.

Sam should have won. everytime she opened her mouth and sung it made me cry. No one has ever done that before.

[mRino4]

wow i just started watching this and the lil excerpt of defying gravity gave me chills!!

[natz9996]

sam was the best, jodie shouldnt have won, either Sam Niamh or rachel

[notiachaos]

I want to give you a thumbs down b/c Jodie is amazing and I want to give you a thumbs up b/c I think that Rachel should have won

[purplecarrot123]

i know right

[emilyyboo]

This is so so so good!

[xxxoneinamillionxx]

She lives near me on isle of man :)

[LootzO]

Isle of Sam

[kellysusannefirth]

i live on the isle of man too ;P

[sianybobs]

she is such a fantastic singer!! and seems like a lovely girl too and soo pretty! :)

[Chenzellis]

I love Sam <3

[RaraTheGoodXx]

ME TOO, plus i love your Youtube name. =)

x

[idinaBALLET]

Can't believe she didn't win... she was def the best one in the final!!! Especially for being so young! The girl who won can't even sing that good, she makes me so angry!

[purplecarrot123]

yeh i know, sam should have won, she was the best. i voted for her =(

[pinkbananasmmoothie]

ahahah agreed with the weird strap :P

but whats wrong with wearing high heels? lmao XD

strange.

[lucie777]

She was deffo the Siobhan of this comp, as in they were both gorgeous and known for that rather than their brilliant voices. John also described them both as "dead behind the eyes" lol.

[ShannonGaGa]

@lucie777 and they both places 3rd.That's what I thought and Siobhan sang this song in the final 3 too!

[MissiCharli]

I'm going next Friday, a week after she starts in Birmingham, so excited!

[peprilen]

this is better than siobhan

[scootyscoot4]

Yeah, this sits in Samantha's range better, she is a Mezzo I would say and where Siobhan was a soprano, it was too on the low side, sounding quite screechy and muffled. Samantha's a fantastic Sally Bowles.

[RoseTylerxx]

This brought me out in goosebumps. The song naturally brings tears to my eyes and Sam carries this off beautifully. It isn't my favourite, I prefered her singing Defying Gravity but this is still an amazing performance.

[Rihannaiskool1]

Wow. This Is making me cry. Wow samantha u would make a good nancy. i liked all three finalists

[ban88ana]

go girl

u r the best

sam should have won

[greengrass450]

high heels yet again

[marenghiorgan]

I loved this song but I hate that dress, it looks like she is wearing a handbag with that strap that goes over her chest........

anyone agree?

[MissiCharli]

Ye, I agree. Tbh, they all had different voices and imo Jodie had the least Nancy like voice! It's weird how things turn out.

[Rowan07001484]

Yeh, they all have different vioces. Trying to defend Samantha, here.

Obviously Jessie's vioce is different too.

I'd say wonderfully different. Probably my favourite. Nah definatly.

[xoloverlyxo]

agreed. :)

[xoloverlyxo]

i think jessie has the most different voice, in a good way. :)

[Rowan07001484]

Trully emotional performence! And her vioce is just different from both Jessie's and Jodie's. But just as good.

I think she'd be suited to a role where the songs are mostly happy and cheerfull and emotional though. Like Maria in the sound of music.. I think that she'd be good at that. I'm not sure if her vioce is suitable for Nancy. But it's just my oppinion

[xxBarkateerKimxx]

Aww..she is just soooo sweet.

The speech was really emotional *cries*

Yep 'xHiddenxx' it made me cry too.

You just gotta love Sam! :)

[MyLifeIsAMusical]

I love herrrr!!! She is so amazing. :-D

[cuteybear73]

For me... Sam is Nancy! No way I'm going to watch Jodie play Nancy! Sam will definitley have a successful career and I can't wait to get hold of her album soon as it's released! She's got a voice that I could play on my ipod over and over and over again! Luv ya Sam!

[sockthing0610]

is it me, or does andrew lloyd webber look really p***ed off with this performance? i mean i love it, but he looks annoyed.

[xHiddenxx]

sockthing0610, he was probably just gutted that it wasn't 'sexy' enough or something, haha.

[emmam16]

She's so sweet and talented. Go for it Sam! I'm sure you will get a great role in the west end.

[iblamelily]

When Samantha Started Singing This Song, I Was Like, Hey, Siobhan Sang This!! Siobhan Got Kicked Out With This Song In The Finals, And So Did Sam. Anyone Think It Was A Fix Giving Her That Song??

[Jessyanna]

I thought that too. And Sam and Siohan r both quite simular as in the way that they were both known as the beutiful Maria/Nancy and had the srongest voices.

[AleshaCrouch]

i hated her but she seems nice in this :)

[sampayo101]

that's because she is nice- she acted through a few agressive songs and people identified with that rather than the person behind the performance - a shy 17 year old.

[xHiddenxx]

When she said "The public believed in me before I believed in myself" and "I can go out there and be me" it made me cry! I know it's stupid but yeah :)

[jabba3051]

its amazing

[Elphieunderstudies]

Samantha had the best voice on the show! She deffenitly was the sexiest =] i really think she could TOTALLY fit Nancy

[waliice]

Loved this performance...But does anyone remember when Siobhan sang it for HDYSAPLM? That was really good too! Both versions were so much better than the original!

[4eva4given]

No offence but i think this version is better!!!

The standard is so much higher this year! This could havebeen Cilla black singing this and i wouldnt know the difference!

[waliice]

No offense taken! It is just different people's opinions. I just prefer sam's voice!

.x.x.

[DiaryOfADreamer]

This gives me goosebumps everytime I watch it

[Pinupip]

This girl is super talented and certainly did this complex song justice. I don't agree that she performed it better than Cilla Black - rather I think she gave a very theatrical performance which was entirely appropriate. Lovely lovely performer. Hope she does well.

[Gahrez]

i think she did not fit nacey

but i did not like her cuz she bobs her head up and down or side to side it dives me crazy

jessie should of won

[sampayo101]

I found Samantha's performance very moving, she showed such dignity and graciousness in leaving the competition. If she can mature and develop so much in ten weeks what couldn't she achieve in six months? Good luck to Sam and all the girls.

[MissiCharli]

If Jessie didn't win I wanted Sam to win because Jodie is too bubbly to play Jodie and just does not fit the criteria. My first choice was Jessie but this was a good performance. GBP are loony's!!! x

[koriley]

Actually, if you watch Jodie's acting missions, she can ditch the bubbly nature. She might not be able to get quite as much grit as Rachel, but she's still capable.

[MissiCharli]

I know that and I wasn't intending to put that message across. i know she'll be a brilliant Nancy and probably worth watching but imo Jessie and possible sam fitted the criteria much better and would have been more Nancylike. Where did Rachel come in??

[koriley]

Oh. I was just commenting that Rachel probably had the most grit of them all.

[MissiCharli]

Oh right, ye i agree Rachel had the most grit but was probably lacking more in other areas. x

[koriley]

Rachel could dance well, her acting was by far the best, and she had an absolutely lovely voice. Maybe not as good as Jessie's, but she was incredibly well rounded and well above the normal.

[robynheartbroken]

Yeah i thought rachel was probably the best acting, but i don't think she had as strong a voice as the others, but still a nice one

[koriley]

She didn't have as good a voice as Jessie but it was quite good.

[MissiCharli]

I agree but I didn't like her personality and I don't think if she would really captivate the Nancyness on a WE stage playing Nancy, she would struggle. I cou;dn't warm to her throughout the whole competition.

[koriley]

I don't know why. I warmed to her slowly. Although I don't think she's Nancy. She has aspects, as did Jessie, but I don't think either was Nancy.

[robynheartbroken]

i well wanted Sam to win. she was the best singer out of the three and had great stage presence.

[koriley]

Ok. I am a fan of all three girls and all three had their strengths and weaknesses. Sam was not the best singer. She was the best dancer. Despite my issues with Jessie, she was the best singer.

[rachiebabies1993]

thought that this was an ace song

the best one of the night but i was expecting jodie to win and i was so glad when she did. :D

[s065002]

didn't siobhan sing this song in the maria finals?

[graemecbet]

Exceptional performance. Possibly the best of the whole show. Suddenly I thought she could do it. What is wrong with the public...Jody? She shouldn't have been in the last 4 let alone the final.

[robynheartbroken]

i know. Samantha was much better

[07Hopeful]

I really loved this, she really touched me with it.

[spotlighted91]

she did well with this song

[sockthing0610]

this gave me goosebumps

[BestFriendIsAPromise]

Me Too!

[beyondthestars1985]

I have to admit... I'm not the biggest Samantha fan.. but this is remarkable

[koriley]

Are there going to be mp3s of these performances?

[rachiebabies1993]

there better had be

they were absolutely BRILL

[kay2454350]

love samantha, i think she is so talented.

[jaromir]

she is very talented
