I'd do anything - Show 8 - Samantha

[pussiepie1470]

1:08 Lloyd Webber randomly shivers

[scarilycool]

haha its well funny that she sung this but now its rachel tucker whos starring in the west end with this role?!

[RaphaellaHeart87]

WHAT SHOW IS THIS??? WHAT YEAR???

[Murderisanart666]

@RaphaellaHeart87 I'd Do Anything, which was three (?) years ago.

[happwho10]

How can you dislike this video? Like if you agree with me xx

[happwho10]

If i was in the crowd i would have been cheering so loud my woice goes hoarse - in other words... THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!

[TheEvilsquiril]

if rachel had sung this, she'd be out this competition straight into the role the next monday :)

[lkk4eva]

and who would of thought if have now seen rachel singing this in the acctuall show :D xxx

[Cheeseparing]

Rachel is amazing at this! I saw her on Monday night and she is just awesome at it!!

[rentmimi777]

She is in Les Miz

[chocolatexpqx]

They should have let Rachel sing this.

[chocolatexpqx]

How could she get further than Rachel!?

[auuggghhh]

I don't think she quite got the point, or at least the context, of the song.

[isabellafrances123]

Although I don't particularly like her in this performance shes incredible in les mis

[adam19sh]

2:03-2:19 = :)

[adam19sh]

Simply beautiful. There is no more appropriate description of this amazing song and sweet execution. Ah .. I use Google Translate, so maybe there are spelling errors ... : (

[MultiMickchick]

too late to suck my cock i dont think so

[shockwaves10]

i can't help but compare this 2 glee, shes got a gr8 voice but this song just doesnt work with her voice x

[Eclaire97]

SHEEE MURDEREDDDD THISSS SONGGGG RACHELLSSS A TRILLIIONN TIMESS BETTERRR STUPIDD BIATCHHH I ACTUALLYYY CRYY WHENN I WATCHHH THISSS COSSS ITT'SSS SOOO CRAPPPP

[HyperActiveSkittles]

@Eclaire97 but rachel uses a voicebox to get her to hit the notes samantha is all her

[HyperActiveSkittles]

@Eclaire97 Could you just type properly 'cause your comment may be taken more seriously

[Dance4aSmile]

This is quiet a terrible song, No offense but this is probably what got her kicked her out!

[xLoveStoryxD]

@Dance4aSmile She finished third. She didn't get eliminated in episode 8.

[Anni3Wilson]

@xLoveStoryxD She never said that they did, All she said is this is why they probably kicked her out

[xLoveStoryxD]

@Anni3Wilson She didn't get eliminated in in this episode, ergo, this song didn't get her kicked out. And for the record, when you make the finals and finishes third, that's not being kicked out. That's finishing like... 7th or something.

[Anni3Wilson]

@xLoveStoryxD Whoa! Calm down! I'm just stating what you obviously looked over! I don't even know how I ended up here but ya know! SO chill bro!

[xLoveStoryxD]

@Anni3Wilson Calm down? Why? I'm not using exclamation points, or 'obviously' or attacking you.

[Anni3Wilson]

@xLoveStoryxD No the girl that said it never said that this was the show she got kicked out on she just said THIS. Not that this was the episode. I was simply pointing it out! You have no reason to 'attack' me I was just replying to what I saw! So, You don't have to get all upset.!

[paulakaye5]

I've loved this song from the first time I heard it sung in "Wicked". Her rendition was perfect for this venue - and yes, she does seem to be making a personal statement towards not only the panel but, the "Wizard" Andrew too! No "posturing", "posing" or "model posing for camera" stances, she *moved* with the song and got her point across. (She's not taking any more bull from anyone!)

[ATHINAmeow]

I love her voice, I would do anything to have a voice like hers. Her acting on the other hand - she seems to be accusing everyone every time she sings!

[xXxScoutxXx]

Wasn't a fan at the time but she's much improved now :)

[CHEESELOLLIEPOP]

can i buy this season anywhere?!!...

[CrazyRhianne]

I Love her dress in this!! :)

[lisashmo]

did anyone else hear a southern accent in some parts?

[cmh281288]

most overdone musical theatre song of the last decade... i'm always underwhelmed whenever i see/hear anyone perform this song when not in the actual stage production... for me nowadays it's just the staple song for when you can't be bothered looking for another song or researching into another musical theatre number and just wanna show off your belt at the end. barely anyone can convey the actual emotion required for this number out of context.

[CHEESELOLLIEPOP]

can i but this season on dvd??!.

she is am amazing performer!! her voice is fantastic and her acting is beautiful!!! she makes the songs her own witch i think is great! i think she may need to mature a little but in a few years i think we will see her as a shining star on Westend and Broadway! well done Samantha <3 xo

[xLoveStoryxD]

@CHEESELOLLIEPOP dude..you knows she already did cabaret anad is eponine now in les mis at west end?right?

[sunnygirl979]

I'm a fan, I remember watching and voting for her like 50 times lol :)

[FreyalovesJR]

Something more than amazing.

[placeboeffect2004]

This was a great song for Sam this week because it suited the the feeling she was having at the time and her journey in the competition. I do like her, but I don't think she's right for Nancy. I see her as more of a villian part actually!

[TheSamuale23]

Barry's a dirty old man

[xPurexEnvyx]

OMG I remember wanting her to win. This is insane. That's why I recognised her when i went to see les mis

[erianaire]

She has a beautiful voice<3

[daniellem06]

rachel is far beter at this song and is a far beter singer and can do this 8 shows a week...rachel wud have on this show if she hadda sang this song but so glad she didnt as shes to good to play the part of nancy

[WhyDontYouFlyWithMe]

@daniellem06 well samantha is in Les Mis at the moment doing 8 shows a week and she is incredible I saw her and was blown away by her talent

[VickyVanity]

she looks painfully skinny here

[TheEmsiepops]

@VickyVanity it's just the dress that is making her look skinny. It's probably her metabolism aswell

[drMrEastwood]

I bet Rachel never thought about getting this role when Samantha sang this :D

[BleakDisc]

From 1:20 she is simply amazing!!

[0o0kar0o0]

i thought this was amazing...until i saw kerry ellis. LOL

[kwanyin233]

the vocals were good, but she didn't show very much emotion.

[sainworker]

Rachel is going to be elphaba from the 29th March 10 - so excited!

[ajkb7926]

btw guys kerry ellis is the next nancy when jodie's contract runs out. (apostrophy especially for Nikki)

[iswim191997]

very good but she didn't finish the song

[ajkb7926]

they had to cut the song as they give each contestant X ammount of time :)

[gummie1066]

love this song and her dress is amazing wounder where they got it from

[AbiLovesYouLots]

i did like her in this, but i honestly think untill that very last "me down" i could have done this song better than she did ... i admit, my belt isnt amzing, and i wish i knew how belt like that or sing like that in chest voice, so if anyone has pointers that would be a great help. i love this song too x

[PeppiRols]

i adore this song

and sam is fab

i think should have been in wicked

[BarkateerJenny]

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!

now and forever one of my fav songs!!

I hadn't heard it before watching Sam do it on IDA and now I love it!

This video just shows a little bit of why I'm a Barkateer!!

(for people that don't know, there are 3 Barkateers and we, along with the Sam Lambs, are Sam's biggest fans!)

[wildchildrules]

not as good as kerry ellis but still amazingggxx

[scootyscoot4]

When she hits her mid-20s she will be perfect for the part, her voice is too young for the part atm, it would butcher her voice after a couple of months, many women in their mid-20s and 30s struggle with this song, and she's pretty consistant, so come the time she's in her mid-20s she should be fine however she struggled in lots of places of this song, so she wouldn't currently be able to perform it I feel. Hopefully she'll carry on being great in other shows for the time being.

[ajkb7926]

@scootyscoot4

dont know if you know but rachel tucker has been shortlisted to play elphie when lexi left! i dont see it working because if the likes of idina menzel, lexi khadime and kerry ellis got ill playing the part how would she do it!

[Eclaire97]

@scootyscoot4 sozzz buttt i completellyy disagrree she'ss shitt anddd willl alwaysss bee comparee herr tooo Rachell Tuckerr she iss ABSOLUTELYY NOTHINGG on Rachell

[kickingkayleigh]

no she was supposed to do that cause its how they do it in the actual song she's amazing and i don't think u should say she's not because she goes flat who are you to actually say that x

[fjays]

No it really is funny.. hehehe

[fjays]

That's hilarious!! SO FUNNY!

[H3ATH3R101]

This is sucha great is such a great

one

[JessieDeelight]

she sang it better the last time she sung it...nerves maybe?

still amaaaaazing

[ajkb7926]

@JessieDeelight

when did she sing it again?

would be intrigued to hear it is all.

[XReiKaoriX]

I heard her sing a shortened version of this last week at a pantomime she was in, and she had improved so much! Hope that helps! :)

[ajkb7926]

lucky you! i take it it was aladin as that was the latest thing she was in.

[XReiKaoriX]

Yeah it was! She was great in it! Plus I was working backstage at the time so I got to meet her! She's lovely!

[ajkb7926]

i envy you big time! it's alright for some!

[BarkateerJenny]

@XReiKaoriX i loved watching her in Aladdin, i just wish they was a video of her 'defying gravity' from it lol

well, a video of the whole show would be awesome haha

[diggerby126]

Samantha Barks is amazing and I think some people are forgetting this. She is only 17! She sang this song better than anyone I've ever heard, she could have won!

[RoseTylerxx]

Yeah, I agree. Also this is a horrible song to even try, it's incredibly difficult to reach the notes she did. I can't and I have been trained in singing, I was for a long time. At 17, no one could top this performance!

[kickingkayleigh]

yh she is amazing my favourite since her audition was gutted when she came third :( x

[rachizzleo]

Lmao at 1:07 when Andrews pulling up his pants XD

[buomgiorno]

i think she is awful here.. totally worng osng.. she has a good voice but not for this.. it was way too big for her

[jessydacowgirl]

i love her voice but i agree with the fact that she chose a wrong song - it's slightly painful the last 'defying gravity' and she falls flat a lot but she is still a good singer

[xFabalax]

I'm really not a fan.

Don't get me wrong she can sing and i'm certainly not taking that away from her, but she needs to mature before she sings a song like DG.

[jessicake1993]

i agree, but we have to remember that she's only 17

[buomgiorno]

i dont think she should have sung it then

[bettiecool]

@xFabalax I disagree I love this song and the musicals Wicked and Oliver and she would be my fave for both

[GoddessPrincess]

who won all of the parts or could someone give me the link please and thanks in advance.

[smarties996]

was one of them girls on britannia high or did i just imagine that?

[LemonsMelonsandPears]

the one thing that annoys me about her, the air grabbing with her hands. she did it all the time on that show, really ticked me off looked so cheesy anyone agree?

[bluealex123]

She shoulda won!!!

:)

[x0xursulax0x]

shes a brillant singer my 3rd favourite in that show but this version compared to Indena in Wicked isnt as good but Sam will make it big :)

[melinaemilymay]

Its "Idina", not "Indena"

[sianybobs]

I would love to see her as Elphaba in a few years maybe!?

She has more potential then the role of Nancy would have ever shown

Im glad Jodie got it, she fitted that particular character the best out of all of them!

xxxxxx

[411AMH]

she should have won! love the dress as well

[Katzie7]

Great performance. I would also have loved to see Niamh perform this ;)

[RoseTylerxx]

This is a Niamh song, your right. She would be great when performing this, it's so suited to her voice.

Sam is amazing in this. I really wanted her to win but Jodie has the qualities that Nancy needs slightly more, so I was happy she won.

[christineadorno]

mr webber is doing his "this is crap" sit!

[gmd5]

Gave her good feedback though

[catrionaclarke]

i love this. and i love her dress it's lush :)

she should be the next elphaba after kerry ellis.

[rumpleteazer96]

she would make a good elphaba

[GreenyCoolHead]

she runied this song

[JodieRoxSox99]

Okay Okay Okay.

Chill !!

Both of you !

You both have different opinions. Leave it at that.

The youtube comments are not for having an argument over something stupid.

Sheesh.

[NikkiBoelsen]

BTW, this last comment is directed to Miss Blondzy!!! C'mon, Blondzy - hit me with your (lack of) wit!!!

[xxmissposerxx]

i love the dress

[rumpleteazer96]

so do i,i like the design on the back

[shashaeve12]

so beautiful at the end !

[xXLuxAeternaXx]

She made the right choice here. She loves Wicked so she knows the song so well. Also, its perfect for her voice. The one thing which ruined it was the bracelet; it ruined her outfit (I love that dress - does anyone know where its from?)

[xchesneyx]

GOOSEBUMPS !

[NikkiBoelsen]

Out of all the solo performances, this is the one I remember the most!!! So disappointed that Jodie won. Probably got the votes from the 'fatties'. Wasn't Jodie in a programme about fatties losing weight??? Jodie is not only still fat, but she is also a complete fake. Check her reaction every time she gets through and when she won. Disgusting. I, for one, won't go and see 'Oliver' with her as Nancy. Cameron McIntosh's comment when she won said it all: 'I'm really happy...for Jodie'.

[xxxmissblondzyxxx]

Who cares about her personal life. She won. Get over it. She was the best out of all of them!

[NikkiBoelsen]

Actually, if you had half a brain, you'd notice that I did not make one comment on Jodie's personal life, but only regarding by perception of her. Actually, as your comment 'get over it', there was sod all to get over, moron!!! There are more important things to worry about in my life at least!!!I was expressing my opinion, which I am entitled to do.

[xxxmissblondzyxxx]

Well actually you were commenting on her personal life and if you're really not bothered why are you so angry?

[NikkiBoelsen]

Do you actually read other people's comments before replying??? I was commenting on Jodie's professional life NOT her personal life (which obviously involves massive binges). BTW, I'm not angry - I'm actually enjoying winding you up!!!

[xxxmissblondzyxxx]

Actually you were commenting on Jodies personal life saying she's fat (which by the way she's not). And why would I be wound up? My favorite won remember?

[NikkiBoelsen]

You have just contradicted yourself. Saying someone is fat is not a comment on their personal life. It is subjective. In my OPINION, she is fat. I am giving my opinion, NOT commenting on her personal life. You really aren't that bright, are you?? (BTW, you should have written 'Jodie's' - ever heard off an apostrophe 's'???). I couldn't care less whether you're wound up or not - I'm just loving this banter!!!

[xxxmissblondzyxxx]

Actually saying she's fat is commenting on her personal life as this show is about talent. Not weight. And by the way this is youtube. Grammer really isn't a big issue. And about my "lack of" wit let me tell you something. Don't even attempt to out bith me. I can out bitch you anyday!

[NikkiBoelsen]

No,saying that she is fat is giving an opinion on how she looks, which is NOT a comment on her personal life. BTW, what is 'grammer'??? Oh, and I could 'out bith' you any day. Don't worry - your stupidity more than compensates for your lack of wit!!!

[xxxmissblondzyxxx]

Saying she's fat has nothing to do with this show. And by the way she's not fat. And yes I admit I'm not the smartest person in the world. But to be honest. Who cares? I don't. My friends don't. The only person who cares is you. And to be honest I really don't give two shits what a stuck up cow like you thinks of me. Take that bitch!

[NikkiBoelsen]

Wham! Bang! Pow! Your punctuation better. Did somebody help you? If not, bravo! Hey, I don't give a toss about you or your punctuation. Hey, I LIKE winding you up!!! You're hilarious!!! BTW, why do you think that I am 'stuck up'??? Surely not because I can write English properly? Oh, and Jodie is fat. Actually, Jodie's weight will be a problem, as 'Oliver' is set in Victorian times. Nancy wouldn't have had free access to doughnuts, babe!!! Go on, hit me with more wit!!!

[xxxmissblondzyxxx]

No nobody helped me. Why would they? You're stuck up cuz you obviously think that you're English is amazing and think you have the right to tell me when i make a spelling mistake. What are you a teacher? And Jodie is not fat. She's a size 14.Oh and about me apparently being wound up I'm not. It's just fun to bitch at you because I can. You may be better at English but I'm better at bitching and trust me you need bitching much more then knowing where a comer goes in a sentence!

[westendnn]

Thats harsh she has lost so much weight and she is now roughly a size 14 which is the average size and btw if you put her next to niamh and samantha she is obviously gonna look fat

[meeplesquadge]

oooh it was so out of tune at the beginning, it actually made me cringe!

But she is lovely.

Jessie should have won and Sam should have been 2nd

[joansmith07]

the back of her dress looks weird with that blue next to the black and that blue braclett

[michaelt16]

jodie should not have won sam should of won

[Beckywozere07]

i rekon they all did well, sam was me favourite, but i'm okies with jodie winning !

[michaelt16]

u r right with sam your favourite but sam or rachel should of won

[michaelt16]

so sam,rachel or jessica should of won

[Katzie7]

Who the heck is Jessica? o_O

[michaelt16]

i jessie sorry

[xXLuxAeternaXx]

She's got the part of Sally Bowles in the touring Cabaret; good luck to her.

[ban88ana]

sam has an amazing voice way better than jodie

[fjays]

right well she sounds good as elephaba but she would NOT make a good nancy...

[xoloverlyxo]

great elphaba, i think. not so good nancy.

[xXLuxAeternaXx]

Does anyone know where this dress is from?!?!

I want it so badly!!!!

[ilovenirvanaandmcr]

RACHEL SHud have been in the final instead of Sam better all rounder and just better

[bradleyy2kaii8]

i fink she was really gd sayin shes had no training :O amzing really ;) ly sam <3

[EmmyXD]

favourites:

sam

Niamh

Rachel

anyone of them should have won but happy with Jodie

[annelee2]

u must be mad about niamh she cud only sing sum songs and sum she was sometimes out of tune

[BestFriendIsAPromise]

I LOVE HER DRESS!

[ladiesman394]

She was great I think she should hav been nancy but now that shes out I really dont care who wins cos I think the other 2 suck shes the only 1 I wanted to win

[annelee2]

well i thought jodie was good

[beyondthestars1985]

ALW does have a history in 'fascination' with 17 year old Brunettes....

[insanitygonemad]

i love this song but am i the only one who thought this vocal wasnt great? it was rather shaky in parts and there were a lot of dodgy notes and screeching.

people keep saying she's amazing, and im trying but i honestly can't see it.

shes definitely not consistent like people keep saying.

[koriley]

It was no more so than other versions. The problem wasn't really with her vocals, but rather taking a song on that is a duet and without that second voice the vocals fail.

[MissiCharli]

That's just an excuse. I think she was the weakest of the finalists.

[lobbielou]

i agree she does have an amazing voice but when you look back at it, it was good as i thought it was. but no doubt she has talent

[FabFletchie]

It seems that Sam isn't the only one defying gravity eh ALW..

[SugarKissed]

yaaay she's in the final!

[ieatcatbiscuits]

can i just remind people that before I'd Do Anything sammi had done NO drama or acting unlike the others who had at least done a bit.

[haldenver]

Potentially a great star BUT ......all the pitfalls await, primarily - the dodgy boyfriend!

[katiek723]

Did they really have to do a close-up on ALW adjusted his trousers as she sang. Eeew.

[Capricaquarius89]

WOW! What a great performance! And I'm not just reiterating what the judges said either. I've been watching Sam's (and the other Nancy hopefuls) performances on this show for some time now and I think she might be the best choice for Nancy. She just has the right voice, look, and charisma for the part. Fingers crossed she gets the part!!

[MissiCharli]

News just in. Ben and Sam are going out. It was so obvious that was going to happen. I wonder if anyone will mention anything tonight?? Jessie to win. x

[xHatchx]

i thought samantha already had a boyfriend?

[MissiCharli]

I think she dumped him or he dumped her quite recently. Probably since she was getting all the attention from the men! So she was single! x

[Sils61]

yea Niamh gave Sam support alright but if you look at Niamh's video, Sam could not be bothered and looked bored!!

[AmyAge14]

Haha, Niamh looked so happy when she was clapping for Sam.

[EmmyXD]

VOTE SAM

VOTE SAM

VOTE SAM

PICK UP THE PHONE AND...

VOTE SAM..

please :)

[xXLuxAeternaXx]

I'm not a fan of Sam, but I absolutly love the dress - does anyone know where its from?

[MoonlightxAlley]

Idina Menzel who originated Elphie was not always perfect in every single performance like at the Royal Variety Defying Gravity was not perfect but it did not matter. Plus Sam is young and she has time to learn.

[SusieOox]

i dnt like sam but i like this one :D

[HKE4]

She did well with the song, but not perfect. is she Nancy...?

[rachiebabies1993]

has anyone noticed how small her waist is?? :O lol

[xxxmissblondzyxxx]

yeah its like tiny!!!

[ffmad13]

I actually think Sam did well with this song but I don't get the sense of Nancy from her. She's still a very good singer but not right for the role. Just my opinion.

[ffmad13]

But I think she was in the right this week choosing a musical song.

[xXxellanaxXx]

I don't see why the judges like her so much listening to it again her top notes were scratchy and her vocals where awful the whole way through!

They give Jessie a hard time for repeating movements but Sam does the same thing every week and nobody notices!
