Some of those girls have wonderful voices. Isn't it marvellous how much untapped talent there is out there?

That was sad and that is the problem when it is a public vote. She had a rotten song last night and didn't do it very well, that is probably the reason. She looked like a Dorothy. I wonder if he will put her in something later?

Ann, I wouldn't mind betting she is either put on as understudy at some point, or as ALW did with the Josephs, on tour.

Who would be your choice?

My problem is they are all so talented. Steph is great but I am not sure she could be made to look young enough.
The 16 year old (Danni? I haven't grasped their names yet) looks like a Dorothy but she went to pieces with her acting.
I do like Jessica, she has such an expressive face but she is more Liza than Dorothy I think.
Jenni could be the one? Or the one who was the other one in the sing off. Goodness knows I am glad I am not having to choose.

How about the dogs then????

I like Jessica, she would be great in 'Cabaret', but i do think she could play Dorothy...not so evident tonight but she had a rather teenage gawkiness when she was dancing that could be brought out for a girl on the verge of growing up and 'finding her way'...i think the make up and wardrobe are not making it easy to see the girls as Dorothy when they dress them 'older'.

Missed the dogs lol, except for the one carrying a basket :)

I think Steph and Stephanie are both very good, and Jenni sang beautifully this week.........

I think at this stage of the competition anyone could go on to win it, as sometimes the better singers get voted out early on, i think its all really down to wether the public like you or not, not nessecarilly the best singer/performer.

Do you remember when Jodie Prenger won the Nancy show? ALW really wanted that young Irish girl Jessie who was only about 17, but the public chose Jodie who I think was in her late 20`s, shes only just left the show now in London so she must have been very good as the producers kept her for over a year...

And she is involved with the choice of Toto.

Piglet's P. If they could make Judy Garland look younger they could these girls. Hair in pigtails would make a difference for example. And young girls are much more 'buxom' these days.

Rose my OH said he could see Jessica playing cabaret, but I can also see her in shows like Oklahoma, she has such an expressive face, I think she could be Dorothy.
