  • Jodie was brilliant but she was not the right Nancy, Nancy was a tough as nails prostitute, she would not have been as lovey dovey as Jodie played her, and yes there is the idea of her taking her own spin on the character but she cant ignore the facts about women like Nancy during the times the play was set. Kerry Ellis made a better Nancy but Jodie is very talented and it is a shame she hasn't been casted for anything

  • I loved Jodie from the first show! She was the perfect Nancy - saw her and she was wonderful! However naimh was my favourite in this series - she wasn't right for Nancy but was great to see her doing well in Love never Dies!

  • Jodie's best performance of the series..I can feel the pain, its like she's lived it!! I preferred Jessie over her but i have to admit in this performance she was great !!

  • She's amazing!!

    xxx

  • Jessie should have won but this is a great performance.

  • @missbabyice - no she shouldnt. even lloyd webber stated after Jodie's premier that the public had got it right . Both he and the dircetor apologised to Jodie for prefering Jessie and admitted they had "got it wrong"

  • that guy that sold the story about her must have a pretty sad life. the woman is amazing, he can't take that away from her.

  • BBC scum

  • Yep, I knew from the begginning she was Nancy, I really did! She looks strong and tough but with that hint of emotion like Nancy

  • So much emotion, she was born to be Nancy!

  • @lukedean999 i think you'll find that this is amazing expression and acting compared to some people who have MURDERED this song, such as Zeta Jones and Judy Collins. I would pay to see this on stage and be moved if that consistency of acting remained throughout.

  • i wouldnt have wanted to see oliver if she wasnt in it, now i must go before she leaves

  • Amazing

  • I've always thought Jodie is amazing, she deserved to win the show, i'm so inspired by her.

  • so beautifully performed cry everytime

    and i saw her at Oliver I cried when she sang As Long As He Needs Me i also cried at when she dies in the show

  • I've seen Oliver twice and i always cry during both As Long As He Needs Me and when she dies. so sad. Jodie is so amazing!

  • Still the best version I've heard of this song :D

  • omg i cry every time i watch this Love Jodie

  • The moment I saw ( let alone heard )Jodie a saw 'Nancy'...just wished I'd have put money on her!

  • i did the exact same thing lol

    just the way she walked in all bubbly i was like: =o that's nancy

    hehe

  • She can't stand about all day talking to a nobody when she is at a premier. I'm sure she has better things to do. I personally think her boyfriends have treated her worse than she did them - selling their stories for a quick buck. Remember we only ever had one side of the story.

  • i was so moved by that song when she song it, im am now totaly addicted 2 that song. amaSING!

  • That was the performance that won Jodie Prenger the role of Nancy, without a doubt. Best version of that beautiful song that I've ever heard.

  • Yes agree with you completely.

  • This performance gives me chills every time I hear it, it's just so wonderful. I'm so glad Jodie won; she's got a lovely voice, so much talent and such a warm feeling.

  • This was amazing!

  • goosebumps

    amazing

    x

  • i never, ever tire from this performance. it made me love jodie. so so so thrilled she won. it's such a shame she is getting so many hated comments from the jessie fanbase. let it go please!

  • this won it for her i reckon!

  • so real...so beautiful...so...real

  • ha - i thought it was called sending the clouds, not send in the clowns!

  • Same! haha

  • what!!!!! ha she was the only one of the girls who was right for the role!

  • She'll make a great Nancy, she's very suited to the role in my opinion.

  • Jodie has grown on me, so no more bad comments from myself.

  • There both as pretty as eachother and they are definetley NOT ugly. :o !

  • Joanof, she won get over it.......You have to ask yourself if you are such a Jodie hater, you sure spend alot of time on her clips.

    You sound abit bitter and childish thats sad

  • Jodie you are going to be great as Nancy. Great song too:)

  • She's the one on the West End and living her dream. What have you to shout about, some little sadact who goes on ALL of Jodie's videos slagging her off and being very personal. You are boring. and predictable. Jodie is talented. I think you need counselling to get over your hatred for someone you have never met.

  • my fav song of entire comp

  • No she was not robbed. Jodie has a natural talent that will last a long, long time.

  • Shes An Astounding Singer

    Gawd If People Didnt Like Her She Wouldnt Have Fuckin Won ! Jeez !

    She Has Experience And tho Shes Not fat But Not Slim I No Wat U Mean But Why Should Your Size Put Away Ur Talent ? Its The Voice Not The Looks !

    Plus Cameron Was Such A Twat ! Jeez He Wasnt Half Biast ! He Made it So Clear Who He Wanted To Win ! Its His Own Fault If Hes Not Happy !

    I Think Jodie Has Such A Nice Big Heart And Has personality (:

  • Cameron was just pissed that alw voted Rachel out and he wanted Rachel to be his nancy.

    Basically Jodie is amazing. Out of the last 3 she totally deserved it. The other girls will have other chances- this was Jodie's last shot and baby she's made it!

  • Performance. Of. The Series.

  • haha

    cameron really put his foot in it on the final

    "JESSE IS NANCY"

    I always loved Jodie.

    Jesse annoyed me.

  • I think it was clear from the beginning that Cameron and Barry wanted a young, typically beautiful Nancy. I'm not denying the amazing talent of any of the other Nancy's, but Jodie has much more life experience, and she was the only one who ever moved me to tears. And John and Denise wanted her to win, and so did Lee, and as performers themselves I trust them completely. Jodie won. She is amazing and beautiful and deserves a break. Thank you British public! They're all superb, but I love her.

  • God if you don't like her just don't watch her video's, don't be a wanker saying she's a clown, your the biggest fucking clown watching video's of someone you don't even like.

  • YOU HAVE SERIOUS HATE ISSUES. JODIE is awesome bless her beautiful heart.

  • You are all remembering what Andrew and Cameron said, what stuck in my mind most was the comment from Liza Minelli when they met for the masterclass...... "if your playing when I'm in town then I'll be there to watch". Now if that isn't a great comment from someone who knows then I don't know what is. Well done Jodie - you deserve it.

  • Well Cameron Mackintosh is only the director so it doesn't really matter who he wanted, it's the public that will be going to see the show, and he's shows wouldn't be anything if no one went to see them. I'm glad jodie won she deserved it.

  • Jessie Is Not Ugly, She's Beautiful, Just Like Jodie!!

  • Mmm, and we're supposed to be a civilised society? Those of you commeting on Jodie's weight ... you're all perfect then?

  • you tell em TracyGrace! People expect too much these days, I think Jodie is wonderful and I hope she goes a long way. She deserves it xx

  • Mackintosh clearly wanted Rachel or Jessie to win; after all he is the king of the west end and should know... instrumental in some of the best casting deicisions ever like Lea Salonga and Jonathon Pryce in Miss Saigon. I loved Jodie on this song but I'm not sure she should have won. On the other hand, she comes across as a genuinely lovely person and in that way I'm really glad that she got the part.

  • i wanted jessie to win.

    But tbh.

    this was a damn good performance.

    and jodie WILL make a FANTASTIC nancy. I would go pay to see her. even if she wasn't my favourite

  • Jodie isnt even fat, she did amazing on the biggest loser and now shes won this, because she is fabulous! jodie is NANCY!. I love her and she completly deserved it. As soon as i saw her audition i fell in love with her and she is just so funny! well done jodie, youll make a fantastic nancy!!! <33

  • did anyone notice that jodie was NEVER in the sing-off???

    that is ace

  • NEITHR WAS JESSIE!!!

  • wtf is wrong ppl, what kind of a criticism is a fat porker? yeah fair dues if you didn't think she was as good, but how is that a professional criticism? yes, Jessie was good and was a good performer but Jodie lived the feeling and it showed through her eyes and her voice is just...well terrific! well done Jodie!

  • beckirsian - I don't know if you missed the final, but actually Jodie won. Rightly so as well, the other girls couldn't hold a candle to her.

  • it was more than technicaly ability. Jodie connected with her heart. SHE IS NANCNY, Jessie only acted as Nancy and that sir, is the difference.

  • so glad she won she is amazing and i voted for her

  • SHES AMAZING!

    IM SO HAPPY SHE WON!

    I LOVED HER SINCE SAY ONE

    WELL DONE DARLIN!

    xOxOxOx

  • YEYY :D

  • I havent watched many of the id do anythings but today i'm catching up with the finalists to so i'm ready to vote in tonights big final. I think that i've found the one i'm voting for - JODIE!!She's amazing!!

  • i agree with almost everyone on here, all the comments are great :] i think shes phenominal tbh, she deserves to win. please people we need to vote loads for her, i believe in her so much. but ive got a feeling that jessie might win, looking at other comments. :( i dont want jessie to win, she doesnt deserve it, unlike jodie, so come on people, vote for jodie! JODIE TO WIN, JODIE IS OUR NANCY!  :]
  • 13. Mostly every week, she usually gets good comments and she is critized very little by the judges. JODIE TO WIN!!!!!!!

  • i really think that jodie should win.

    jessie always messes with her hair and with her dress....in nearly every song she does!! plus she has really bad posture...and that should have been corrected a long time ago. i think that jessie is good but i dont think she is right for nancy. so vote for Jodie =]

  • simply stunning! Jodie HAS!!! to win! :D!! amazing she is nancy! :D

  • 5. her performances have been the most consistant.

    6. she is in my view the best actress left in terms of conveying emotion.

    7. she is able to take critism well.. unlike some others that I could mention.

    8. she is the Nancy that I think would happily go to stage door to greet her fans after a show!

    9. As she said herself, she would give 110% to each of her performances.

    10. she's got a great sense of humour and she would be brilliant at Omp pa pa!

    so VOTE FOR JODIE GUYS!

  • 11. She's great with kids (surpluss to being Nancy)

    12. She's dead canny

    13. She's gonna win!

    VOTE FOR WOR JODIE!

  • Is that nancy or is that nancy.

    Stunning showstopping performance.

    x

  • sadly i agree with you

    at the begining i really wanted jessie to win but from last weeks performance i think she deserved to be in the sing off

    i think she's a wonderful singer but as the panel said, she's not consistant, so i think she shuld have been there instead of samantha

    but this is a wonderful song!

    i think jodie's gonna win it :D

  • She's great for this song, the way she pours he heart into the lyrics and you can see the emotion in her eyes ... sign of a winner.

    I am hoping so much that she'll win, she deserves it.

  • 5. her performances have been the most consistant.

    6. she is in my view the best actress left in terms of conveying emotion.

    so VOTE FOR JODIE GUYS!

  • Reasons why I want Jodie to win in no particular order, feel free to expand if you can think of more!

    1. she has an amazing personality, as shown in this vid and generally through out the series.

    2. i think that she is the one who is enjoying herself the most and getting the most out of the experience.

    3. she's a bit older and therefore has more experience and is more capable of coping with 8 shows a week.

    4. she is the most suited to Nancy! she has that warmth the other 2 don't have!

  • Sorry... bit irrelevant but she looks well drunk at 00:00!

  • If Jodie gets the part, Ill pay but not the others, Jessie cant act or dance, and when Barry said she Rachel would make a good understudy, I think thats about right, Samantha is terrific but she cant do the emotion like Jodie

  • JODIE 2 WIN!!! Jessie 2nd !

  • I think this song really suits her voice, cos of the key its in and the pitch and the style and everything

    good performance much?!

  • Jodie has the most wondeful way of performing! She deserves to be Nancy!

  • Jodie has to win I'd Do Anything!

    She is consistently fabulous!

  • what???? jessie looks moves and sounds like Nancy???!!!! Please say I read that wrong???? otherwise someone better explain when Nancy moved like a cart horse and sounded like Irish?? lol

  • I think this was a winning performance but I see Jessie suited to Nancy more than Jodie for some reason.

  • yeah me too, idk why x

  • Jodie to WIN

  • This was amazing - How could any of the others be Nancy? Jodie IS Nancy

  • bloody brilliant

  • AMAZING.

    She sounded like Ruthie Henshall for some of that, it was fantastic.

  • I SO Agree that she sounds like Henshall, Jodie is a leading lady! and she is NANCY!

  • i must say i think that between this and Mr Bodjangles (from sarah who was amazing!) and the man who got away (Jessie of whom i'm not a big fan, but atleast she can sing and act un like some in there...) you've deffinatly got the three top songs/performances of the show! =]

  • absolutely amazing.

    but...1:08, dont you love farts??

  • 'farce'

  • This was damn good.

    Still not a fan of Jodie's though.

  • I've wanted Jodie to win from the very start!

    She looks like a real mother figure and i reckon she'd make a great nancy :)

  • Jessie cannot evoke any form of emotion.

    Every performance is like a blank sheet of paper :/ dull and lifeless

    Sorry x

  • She is brilliant and i can see her as Nancy. Her or Jessie should win

  • Jessie could never have sung this song with this much emotion and such pefect pitch.

  • She did at 15 years old

  • i agree thos is simply beautifuk, and i dont even have to say no more, jodie or rachale to win, loved sarah alot to devastated. :(

  • Comments were made on tonight's show about how Jessie's performance was the best this series.

    I'm still 100% positive this is still the best performance so far in this series.

  • I completely agree with you.

  • Third.

  • spot on EDAM2 I find jessie very irritating and her slanty mouth annoys me she cant act and I really dont enjoy her voice

    Jodie IS the complete package.

  • Agree with you about Jessie, on every acting mission they say she panics! Jodie is fantastic and she IS Nancy, no one else is!

  • Jodie, Rachel and Sarah to win! For the Olivers, Jonny, Chester and Alex.

  • There a handful of people in the world who can that song that good

  • I can't take my eyes off of her when she sings.

    Such a beautiful actress!

  • I think that she or Rachel should win and Sarah 3rd.

  • she is amazing. i really hope jodie wins.

  • I think Jodie should get the part and Sarah should come second :D

  • well thats not going to happen now is it but jodie should still win and jessie to come second

  • Absolutely beautiful. She's a great actress, but somehow I still can't visualise her as Nancy- she acts as if she's even less innocent as Nancy! She seems far far far too mature for Nancy.

  • "Making my entrance again with my usual flare"- she delivers that line so well, really tells the story! She's gotta win.

  • my favourite.

    love her, she has to win!

  • I think Jodie is the best Nancy. She just hits it perfectly for me - she puts emotion across absolutely beautifully and sings with power but also a lovely quality. And she looks right for the part, I think - I can't quite see the really young ones as Nancy.

  • I agree with you. However, my instinct suggests that AL-W will knock her out at the first oportunity in favour of Jessie (should the situation arise). I don't believe Jodie fits with his perception of a performer for this role. Lets see - I really hope she does win!

  • Yeh thats a good point, i daresay he probably will :-( Well, fingers crossed for her anyway! :-)

  • i've seen jodie many times and she has reduced me 2tears with the emotion she puts into these songs, a true star and worthy of stardom!! she's also a personal friend, i was there when she phoned her mum 2say she'd got thru 2live shows!!!! there wasn't a dry eye in the house! amazing talent and believe me, she is exactly the same in real life!!!! beautiful person! jodie 2win for sure x

  • why do people feel the need to say "oh my god i know them!!!"

    NO-ONE CARES!!!!

    but i do think she should win

  • I love this! Jodie is amazing, she should defo win!x

  • this is her best week out the lot

  • OMG can't sop watching this vid , love her voice !

  • her best. her emotion goes through from the voice, the face movement, everything. its amazing song and amazing actress.

  • beautiful voice, looks and personality.

    incredible woman.

    number 1 favourite...she has to be Nancy!

    just WOW!

    xx

  • she is so good. Seriously she must win. I love her like I loved Connie Fisher and she won :D

  • ive watched htis at least 10 times on iplayer she its absolutly amazing!

  • She's an amazing actress, she turns her emotion on and off like a tap. At the end of that she looked like she was going to cry, then the next minute she's laughing and joking about how she played a trick on Ashley.

  • this is my favourite performance from jodie,

    the others were a bit cabaret.

    this is just beautiful.

    she's definately nancy.

  • Well its kinda a long story lol but to shorten it down.. I went to see Wicked Matinee on wednesday the 16th and after the show the Nancys all perfomed live as part of their weekly challenge they have to do! so after they'd finished i went round to the stage door and met them! :)It should be on I'd Do Anything either tonight or tomorrow so look out for it! hehe i might be on it cus the BBC interviewed me but hopefully they will cut me out! lol hope that makes sense :)x

  • Jodie is my absolute fave and this was her best performance of the whole series so far, she fits the part of Nancy perfectly!

  • She looks and sounds so similar to Ruthie Henshall in this video. I love this performance; you see her laughing and joking around and then BOOM, she's Nancy.

  • if Jodie doesn't win its a disgrace, she is sooooo talented, gives me goosebumps

  • Man! She is Soo awesome! she gives me goosebumps! I met her yesterday! n she was such a laugh! we were chatting like old friends! it was soooo cool! i was like star struck! I got an autograph and a picture! n she was like ' look at my fake tan! its awful!' hehe! I love her t bits!:) definatley has a careeer in the West End! Go Jodie! xxx

  • wow how come you met her?

  • Fantastic performance.

    First time I've ever watched one of these reality programmes and truly appreciated the song and performer.

    She has the vulnerablity and strength of what Nancy should be.

    Good luck to her.

  • I love her I lover her I love her. I hope she wins!

  • Go Jodie :)

    She's Pheunominal

    I hope i spelled that right, and it dosent say pneumonia. Anyway shes so fantastic and talented and a realy lovely person too :) and she posed for a thumbs up pic with me so that makes her a winner for me :) Jodie to win ! :)

  • Jodie all the way! She looks like a Nancy she sings like a Nancy SHE IS A NANCY!

  • I luv Jodie, she's a joker, I want her 2 win!

  • Love.her.Loads....go.JODIE.!!.­.Btw...coNgrats.for.your.eNgag­emeNNt.,...!!!

  • Either Jodie or Jessie, they are both as i would imagine nancy to be.

    she sings this song to perfection

  • Just beautiful: a simple song that shows you don't need fancy trills or huge belting notes to get talent across.

    The first time any song from one of these talent shows has made me cry!

  • simply wonderful

  • Outstanding. She has to be Nancy, surely? Love Jessie and Rachel too - big things for Jessie in the future if she can get her acting together - she's wonderful to watch.

  • Jodie all the way. I Fell in love with her from the beginning.

    go jodie :)

  • i think this is a great song for her

    1 it shows off her more emotional side to her voice

    2 it still haves the fun side to jodie that i love with the clowns its quite good rly

    JODIE OR JESSIE TO WIN

  • I was BLOWN away by Jodie when I watched this! She performs this perfectly! I want either her or Jessie to win!

  • Jodie and Jessie!

    If Jessie doesn't win then I want Jodie to win!

  • she will win this. I know it in my gut!!!

  • this was beautiful I believed the performance she deserves to be in the final and then who knows?

  • She Is Nancy! I Know It..

    xxx

  • Great voice and nice to see her doing something a bit more "low key". Only flaw was that you couldn't hear every word she sang, like in "Clown" you heard "Clou", definite final contender though.

  • Stunning performance of this classic song. She generates real emotion in her voice and facial expressions and is fabulous.

  • Jodie is absolutely sensational... her performance on saturday night sent goosebumps all over my body! She is a class act, as Gabby says!!

  • her best performance she really is class!

  • this song always makes me cry i got memories to it but wow shivers! and yes i was a mess i dont what it is its just this song!
