Jessie: The Man That Got Away - I'd Do Anything - BBC One

[annie123454]

jessie is so so brill and the look on andrew llyod webbers face is class, im certain he wud have picked jessie.

[lozwstar]

There will never be another Judy Garland, but Jessie makes a damn good attempt. Love this song, love this version.

[sarakat76]

Judy Garland singing this song more better!!!! Judy there will never be another like!

[10handsdown]

This awesome,if we listen to it without watching the video it is even more powerful, love it

[mollycavanaugh]

still second to judy garland, but my gosh. this is brilliant

[crazypianolady]

Lloyd Webber is like a dog being given it's favourite treat!

[peprilen]

why does Lauren's version of this have more views. For me Lauren is great but she does everything with a really showy american accent

[arsteroh]

this is totally amazing ... i love lauren but this is SO much more emotional and you feel it... i think it's comparable to judy's

[roseschocolate1991]

i still remember form i'd do anything, this being by a mile the performance of the series imo. amazing amazing. with Rachel 's performance of 'Cabaret' the 2nd best. but then Jessie and Rachel were my joint favourites.

[earthsonluna]

sounds like she is singing from her throat and chest rather than from deep in her gut.

[EnigmaComics]

i really loved jessie- and her rough toyboyish mannerisms- i thought she was perfect for nancy.......

[NickyLess]

It's been three years and I still get goosebumps. I adore Judy Garland, she is one of my idols. This song was just...just amazing.

[TeamStephFearon]

AMAZING!

[cljoyner39]

Sorry, rather go back and listen to Judy Garland sing- this is her song!

[SunflowerEyes1990]

Comparing Lauren to Jessie just isn't fair.

Bearing in mind Lauren was 22, 23 during her time on Dorothy, Jessie was only 18 singing this.

18 years old and gave a flawless performance which made all four judges - Andrew Lloyd Webber, John Barrowman, Denise Van Outen and Barry Humphries - all admit this was the performance of the series during the semi final.

[denise3692]

Que linda!!! uma voz belissíma.. parabéns!

[Rowan07001484]

Jessie would have made the role of Nancy.

[Leysin11]

Me aged 15 singing ' I'd give my life for you' ..please let me know what you think

[honestguy77]

Always come back to this performance..For me the best performance over the entire 4 BBC shows!! She sells it big time ..Jessie Buckley, i wanna see your name in lights..You have "it" whatever it is ..

[mawsley9]

@honestguy77 you should go to one of her Jazz gigs, amazing, she sang this as her encore, 2 years on and its even better if that's possible

[honestguy77]

@mawsley9 oh would love to see her live..how can i get tickets?

[mawsley9]

@honestguy77 there's a list of dates on her jessiebuckleyfanblog, on 28th Oct in London, the next day in Norwich and more 

[Sarahhparsnipp]

hahaha andrew makes me laugh every time!

[nerdyenglishgirl]

I still love this. Shame about the ALW bit though. That kind of put me off for a second.

[LolKayy]

hmmm, i dont like it, the lower notes are really bad, but when she gets into it she's good

[mrsmiawallace6363]

the only reason Jessie did not win is because she could not pull of the accent that was need, which is fair they need the accent for the part. but she was a much much much better singer

[RozLaChimmer]

I think vocally Lauren blew Jessie out of the water but I do actually love the arrangement on this one and that Jessie has a far more sultry tone.

[Gringoire2001]

Jessie's was in a different league. To say she wasn't 'more into the song' is fundamentally flawed when you compare performances. Didn't see ALW orgasming out of his seat at Laurens effort (Which was still very good to be fair)

Buckley's version had more 'spunk'.

[eshofuni50]

I prefer Lauren Samuels's version - more pathos, more into the song than Jessie.

[rmackenzie0112]

Jessie's performance was far more raw and spine-tingling than Lauren's, who i felt she had a tendancy to over-act.

[ny25olu]

I like parts of jessie's performance and I really like parts of Lauren's performance. Really the reason's why they are so different in tempo is because they are both performing for different parts, Jessie's here is more gutsy obviously because she wants the role of Nancy, whereas Lauren still needs to maintain an air of pritzy so she can be viewed as dorothy still, so her performance is higher, and Jessie is more sultry. Both are very good.

[MissLouise94]

Cant believe she didnt win :( Anyone know where i can get an instrumental of this song? :)

[GracieGurl100]

LOL Lloyd webber makes me lol so much here!

[riftintimeandspace]

ahaa andrew lloyd webber cracks me up

[otherxoloverlyxo]

I liked Lauren, but I idolise Jessie and I definatley prefer Jessie's version.

[VALLEYSBOYDAN]

Lauren blew jessie away

[BubblyBethie]

I prefer her's to Laurens even though I did love Lauren. Is it just me or have they used a lot of the songs they used in Nancy, in Dorothy?

[montyxxrlzxx4eva]

@BubblyBethie this ones better emotionallly, laurens was better vocally i think...

[BubblyBethie]

@montyxxrlzxx4eva agreed.

[twinklefudge]

haha omg ALWs face actually cracks me up he's hilarious!

[102lol]

prefer laurens. in acting AND voice.

[gingerrarity]

Yea, Lauren was better.

[georgiemayx]

lauren was far better in my opinion - her voice is so stunning. still glad that danielle won though :)

[TM081000]

I think Jodie made a great nancy but i think Jessie was a lot better.

[MissTashaJade]

lauren sang this better.

[HazilBrush]

@MissTashaJade i think Laurens was good, but this performance was true to the meaning of the song. :]

[scootyscoot4]

@MissTashaJade She may have sung it slightly better - but she sure as hell didn't act it better. All she did was gurn her way through the song.

[Aurora7]

I'm gona say it... I thought Lauren sang this better. Still brilliant tho. lol @ ALW.

[Rowan07001484]

what the devil is ALW doing.... his funniest expression to date..... almost as good was the one after danielle's performence of Mambo...... And the expression he gave when talking about Lee and Denise's baby.

[Rowan07001484]

much better than Lauren. Lauren looked like she was in physical pain sometimes.

lauren's was good, but not up to this standard. And this was by a kid.

The problem is these days, to be a true talent all you have to do, is be thin, stupid, and unable to sing. And be in every headline in the sun newspaper.

Judy Garland used to be a legand. Now it's Cheryl Cole, brittany Spears, and katie price. Where their talent lies I don't know.

[catherineeeeexo]

1:37 LOOOOL! lauren wasn't nearly this good at this song...

[Sianara001]

*GASPS* WOW

[Tessnesss]

LOL @ Andrew Lloyd Webber in this!

[broadwaybabeeee]

@Tessnesss I know! so funny! ahh i want to sing this song for an audition really bad

[mrsmiawallace6363]

OMG she should have won look Andrew's face @ 1:36 i so sure she was going to win

[xLiverpoolMadx]

Jessie should have won and im really sad she didnt :( but also happy for how well shes done since.

Wish i could see her back on the tv though :(

((Stephanie to win over the rainbow))

[pinkpwincess2007]

@xLiverpoolMadx jessie didnt win and stephanie hasnt won over the rainbow...

[xLiverpoolMadx]

@pinkpwincess2007 Er.. i know. :/

Jessie SHOULD have won.

And Over The Rainbow hasnt finished yet DURRHHH ")

[pinkpwincess2007]

@xLiverpoolMadx yes but i KNOW for a fact stephanie hasnt won... you see tonight ;)

[xLiverpoolMadx]

@pinkpwincess2007 You tryna say shes going out?

Phhftt..

Yeah right!

[pinkpwincess2007]

@xLiverpoolMadx ok, dont believe me... have fun watching it tonight ;) muhahahaha LOL :D

[xLiverpoolMadx]

@pinkpwincess2007 Okay fine, i will not believe you if you tell me not to ;)

And i will have fun watching Stephanie sail through to the final ;D

If youre so 'in' on the gossip who's going to win, be in bottom two etc?

[pinkpwincess2007]

@xLiverpoolMadx bottom two will be steph and stephanie :) stephanie recieved lowest votes, they will sing 'tell me on a sunday' ect ect, but have fun watching stephanie 'sail through to the final' anyway ;)

[xLiverpoolMadx]

@pinkpwincess2007 I will!

Thankyou! I will enjoy it very much ;)

Have fun making a complete and utter fool out of yourself ;)

Personally, i think Sophie or Lauren will go. Sorry if you like them!

[pinkpwincess2007]

@xLiverpoolMadx i like sophie, but my faves are stephanie and jessica :) dont like lauren that much, or jenny, who else do you like..? seeing as you now have to vote for someone else..? ;)

[xLiverpoolMadx]

@pinkpwincess2007 Oh so funny...

Anyway how do you know shes gone?

I know theres rumours but its a LIVE show. Theres no waaaay they would reveal whos going!

Gimme the link if its on a site.

[pinkpwincess2007]

@xLiverpoolMadx 8-)

[Mlini95]

Also, when Graham Norton asked Andrew, the Director, John Barrowman and Denise who they wanted, Andrew and the Director said they wanted Jessie and the other two said Jodie. Just shows the difference in the experts opinion and the judges!

[Mlini95]

Jessie had a much better voice than Jodie - let us face it. I wanted her to win but the thing is, Jodie looked more like Nancy and that's why people voted for her! Strange, I thought the point of the show was to find a 'NEW' Nancy.

[cawillokatemat]

I so agree. The same thing happened with The Sound of Music and Maria. Connie was the obvious choice all along - very like Julie Andrews and what the mass public associate with the role. The same could be happening again with the search for Dorothy. Despite them saying they want someone fresh and new, I bet they end up with a stage-school type.

[cawillokatemat]

Really agree. With Nancy, Maria and even now with Dorothy searches, they always seem to end up with the predictable choice. Shame really.

[xLiverpoolMadx]

@Mlini95 Totaly agree :)

[SoldatRob]

Jessie was robbed

[03jesslong]

i jst got the tingly feeling again - i just watchd the dorothys and couldnt help but look back at this song - i hope we find another girl who could sing like her!!! :D:D::D

[xLiverpoolMadx]

@03jesslong Omggggg AMAZING.

I was watching the Dorothys too (cmon Stephanie!!)

And i also had to look at this!

She is so amazing isnt she? :)

[03jesslong]

@xLiverpoolMadx Im upset that jessie hasnt appeared in sumthin bigga yet in the west end :( but im sure her time will come soon!! i do like stephanie - i think her or lauren will win but i love danielle and jenny and bronte!!!! :D

[xLiverpoolMadx]

@03jesslong Yeah! She was in a Little Night Music, but thats it :L

I wish she'd tour around the UK so i could meet her :)

Have you met her?

And yeahh I like Danielle and Jenny but i think that Stephanie is miles better than the rest!

xxx

[TheLadybirdsPicnic]

lol still do this day i piss myself laughing when andrew llyod webber jumps out his seat :L

[shirrellex9]

she was by far the most talented person in the competition, i think anyway.

[Dotwhateveronline]

Jessie is amazin at this song xxx

[Goodyfan17]

damn! the other day I watched the comments for this - they were on Ashley's performance. But now I can't find the video. Anyone know which it is?

[lukedean999]

I don't think the BBC-posted ones have the panel comments - try MissAVUK page, for Ashley singing Big Spender in Show 6 with Jessie's comments put "ashley big spender" in the search box and it's the 7th one down.

(YT stops me putting the URL in here, I did try for you)

[Goodyfan17]

Thanks very much!

[Goodyfan17]

Amazing! I'm pleased for Jodie that she got the part, but part of me wishes Jessie had. She was my all time fave. I just love ALW's face!

[faithoffaith]

she looks more the nancy role I wish she won..this performace was outstanding and andrews face! lol he makes the weirdest expressions haha

[SilentHillEmzie]

She soooooo should have won!

[Bethywethy6]

Andrew Lloyd Webbers face is PRICELESS!

I love Jessie, she should have won.

XD

[Cloobear]

Love it!

[cawillokatemat]

The best performance of the series for sure. Jessie would have made a more interesting Nancy than Jodie, although I think she's a great singer/performer too. Wonder what Jessie's doing now?

[sandraphillips171]

Hello

Yeh I guess this is the best performance of the wholeer series, love watching this . i love the expresion on ALW face, he looked amazed and delighted! However I do think Jody was the right choice for the Nancy role she is a natural Nancy and deserves the role.

[cutiekellz]

she's in a musical in the westend, i think it's a little night music

[xLiverpoolMadx]

Yeahhh she was in a little night music, but its finished now :(

dying to know what shes gonna do next thoo!

xx

[lukedean999]

Just completed a run in the West End in Sondheim musical "A Little Night Music".

Check out Katie Cook's fan blog

Google "Jessie fan blog"

Top result.

Away you go . . .

[Stact001]

i thought jessie was in "a little night musical" (cant remember exactly wat its called) (:

[nancyandgabe]

best performance of the show

[freyfreyyy]

performance of the series y/y?

[mercutio843]

She's good, but can she stop with the 'shhh'ing eg. the night ish bitter, the starsh have losht their glitter

.......................

[abisnail5241]

Jessie SHOULD Have won! She is a stunning singer

[MissLouise94]

I wish jessie would have won :(

IU hav nothing against Jodie, just preferred jessie :D

[Emweeb]

Oh, she should have won for sure!!!! We love you Jessie!!! :)

[Jennings03]

What a beauiful woman singing superbly a wonderful song!

[louisekatieackers]

oh right XD

lol that was blatantly obvious :P

ah well, blonde moment (:

[louisekatieackers]

clue me in here, who the heck is DVO? lol

[snappykat19]

1:36 LOL

[lilyluvsdawestend]

haha :L ALW and his expressions are so funny to watch. he's such an odd man! most of the time they were performing it cut to him looking dead bored. lol

[norweegy]

she should've won for sure

[emmusic21]

Jessie was awesome - i was backing her all the way. gutted wen she didnt win!

[hollybrown657]

bizarre comments about John Barrowman and Denise Van Outen! Whilst I agree they are not as successful as Sir Andrew or Cameron they are both massive successes in lead roles in the West End. So they are not just TV presenters and a Doctor Who Actor!

[mawsley9]

If you count complaining about JB bullying an 18 year old singer live on the BBC as bizarre, then fool you. As for DVO, she did not have the balls to break away from JB when it mattered.

[hollybrown657]

sorry mawsley I didn't make that very clear. I was just surprised that several comments seem to indicate that JB and DVO have no significant West End background. Whereas they do. Wasn't commented on what they had to say so much as what their credentials were

[shellycoat]

I'm glad you clearly don't know what real bullying is...

[mercutio843]

me???

[Rowan07001484]

I like John Barrowman. But god is he annoying.

[Argamenta]

What the hell were JB and DVO playing at? This girl has the potential to be a huge star, and would have been the most exciting Nancy. Shame on them.

[delicatewish]

Her voice just annoys me. I think JB and DVO were completely right

[simbarro]

who cares about jb and dvo's opinions,i mean ones been in doctor who/torchwood the other has been in chicago.....compare that to 2 men who have been very successful and earned millions within musical theatre

[delicatewish]

Yeah but DVO and JB have also been very successful, but in different ways :) And I like them better :)

[simbarro]

to be honest i only knew who jb was because of this show and only remembered him because he reminds me of tom cruise lol....and dvo only know her for presenting,lets face it,they arent as successful as andrew and cameron

[snappykat19]

just coz youve never heard of him, don't mean he's not famous

[shellycoat]

You can't really compare their careers though, can you? It's not as if ALW is an actor and JB a composer...

[punkyfish2007]

DVO slept her way to the top...

[Rowan07001484]

Didn't she sleep with a pedophile. That pervert Gary Glitter. Who raped his duaghter's 8 year old friend. Not that it's DVO's fualt or anything. She probably didn't know.

Wow powerful vioce. If not an actor, Jessie should be a proffesional singer.

[punkyfish2007]

Nah!

[wotsamahojit]

jessie should of won not jodie

[121dancinbeanaho]

Andrew Lloyd Webber is sooooo funny.

He doesnt seem to have a clue what to do in front of a camera bless him...

I mean seriously WTF is he doing at 1:36????

[xblondlex]

This song gives me shivers everytime i see it!!

[schwindlig]

Jessie is INCREDIBLE!

[Rowan07001484]

Maybe. But you can't know that for sure. He did say that he hadn't seen Rachel blow the audience away, or something. But apparently he was anoyed when ALW saved Sam over Rachel.

To be perfectly honest I didn't think that Rachel had as good a vioce as Jessie anyway. But I do think that she had a bad time of it on the show. They didn't give her as much encouragement as some of the others.

Especialy Sam who got help off JB and the actress from Wicked.

Great performence Jessie!

[whoishannah]

I do love Andrew's face after she hits that big one.

Hahahaha, what a legend.

[rebrebekah]

How can u question how anyone knows what Nancy looks like...then say definitely 'not Jodie'. Duh!

Dickens doesn't give much of a description of Nancy in his novel but he does use the words 'stout' and 'hearty'. His idea of 'stout' n 'hearty' might have been different to ours, as our average size is bigger, but I think his point was that Nancy wasn't exactly wasting away.

[AleshaCrouch]

i love love love love Jessie! and how she sings this song is bloody incredible! WOOO GO JESS (L)

[freeflowjoe]

The way she sins this sends shover all through my body!

Absolutely beautifull.

[joanofnarc]

Listen up scootyscoots, im voicing my democratic right to free speech, so if you dont like it then may i suggest that you fuck off. Ive actually stopped slaging jodie off but if you'd like i could always start again and concentrate on your boring self.

[rubzleandditchda]

mate, i totally agree.

lol, jodie bingo wings, good one!

jessie was totally robbed.

[xMusicalxlovex]

i loved the hole series, best one yet i think, jessie is amazing!!! and so is jodie!

great video 8)

xxx

[sarahkirby25]

andrews face

=]

[StephanieNinjaXD]

1:37

LOL @ ANDREWS FACE

cracks me up every time =']

[Graciebabeexx]

alright no need 2 get personal!

u all need 2 remember nancy is a dickens character so only he knows what she looks like, the film is just an idea.

and jessie is amazing.. raw.

[joanofnarc]

How the fuck does anyone know what nancy looked like? not jodie bingo wings thats for sure.

[Blacknarcissa]

And that wasn't a contradiction? :I

[scootyscoot4]

LOL, how pathetic, I didn't want Jodie to win but to get personal like that is uncalled for, and you have majorly contradicted yourself there.

[aubreyheartsmcr]

totally gutted jesse didnt win i thought she would have cos she sang this sooo good! and cameron and andrew lloyd webber told her she was nancy!!!!

she will go far from this she is too damn good

[Wethan17]

I agree with you BethyWethy but that could have been said more nicely...haha. It bugs me because my nickname is Bethy Wethy too....

Jodie should not have won, I'm sorry but Jessie is the one with the most talent, and she would have been perfect for the role of nancy. Gutted =(

[PacPomarnacki]

this has to be amazing first jessie is fantastic and if you watch andrew loyd webber he enjoys it

[yorkybear]

Bethtwethy6 you really are an unpleasant person. We are all allowed our opinions without the personal abuse. By the way I love the song but not this version.

[broadwaystar74]

i was so rootin for jessie! this was amzin even better than the original

[LolaLovesToSurf]

pause at 1:36 and prepare to get the fright of your life! lol

jessies amazing and we all know it

x

[xxlaura534xx]

she is fantastic she is not plastic

[yorkybear]

Who suggested she sing this ? its awful to see and more importantly hear how this should be sung go to related videos and select the garland version from A Star is Born.

[Bethywethy6]

Look, you must be deaf or a complete shithead, if you don't like this song, don't comment on it! save us the complete crap!

[xoloverlyxo]

jessie has alot in common with nancy. even cameron macintosh said that 'JESSIE IS NANCY!'

[xLaurax1993]

Get over it she LOST jodie WON and it happened ages ago i dnt care wat other people say she LOST ! build a bridge and get over it !

[xoloverlyxo]

well she should have won and she would have done if it was up to the professionals.

[xLaurax1993]

I dnt care tbh !

[xoloverlyxo]

i'm sorry but don't start an argument about something you don't even care about.

[xLaurax1993]

I dnt care that jessie didn't win, i dnt care about about your oponion, becuase jodie one thats all i care about and she won ages ago so u need to get over it like i sed before .

[xoloverlyxo]

well i dont really care about your opinion so i'm not going to 'get over it'

[xLaurax1993]

gd u do that ! nd try your very best to get over it i know it's hard !lol

[xoloverlyxo]

sad as it sounds it actually is.

[xLaurax1993]

well i think u might need some help then .

[xoloverlyxo]

i wouldn't go that far.

[LittleDevil13579]

if it was up to the professionals rachel would have won

[xoloverlyxo]

but andrew and cameron said they wanted jessie. rachael should have been in the final though.

[LittleDevil13579]

that was in the final if rachel made it to the last two cameron would of said rachel

[honestguy77]

so i've had a few days to calm down !!!! Now I think not getting the part might be the best thing to ever happen to Jessie..She will have a big future ..But I really think we now need to stop pitting Jodie v's Jessie..They are 2 great girls and really talented..We should be celebrating their talents, not causing WW3..Im Irish by the way, I was gutted but lets all just get along..PEACE..

[xoxDonnaxox]

Jessie IS nancy she even looks like a nancy!!!!!!
