I am really glad that Jodie won the show as she was consistanly good throughout and agree that she probably won’t be a one hit wonder.Jessie was not one of my favorites through out the show, but her final performances really changed my mind and i started to believe that she did deserve she should have been in the final.I hope that Rachel appears on the west-end stage soon as she was absolutely brilliant throughout and should have been in the final instead of Sam. Sam and Niamh were good but i thought they were over-rated by the judges and should not have got as far as they both did in the competition. Sarah was one of my favorites and i could not believe she went out so early and deserved to go so much further.I really liked Ashley and thought the judges were too harsh on her i personally feel she should have stayed instead of Niamh.I really enjoyed watching Francesca perform and she went out far too early in the competition, she should have went further as she had been in a west-end show before. I liked Tara and hopes she does well in the the future with her career. I really don’t rate Cleo,Amy or Keishas’ voices and they went out when they should have in the competition.

I have never rated Jodie or jessie. Rachel, Samantha,Sarah were very talented. As
Jodie made an absolute fool of herself on the Graham Norton, I’m sad to say she let herself down badly. As her press coverage at the moment it terrible. Have you all forgotten Oliver is a family show and I believe the Jodie I think she is, is just starting to uncover herself.

Great to see your predictions. Spot on, I think though having seen Jodie on the Graham Norton show last night she is a natural on tv. I’m sure she could go on to present a lifestyle show probably on health or diet issues. I would be surprised if she wasnt snapped up by a tv channel after her run on Oliver.

A lot of the internets are predicting that Jodie will probably go from Oliver to TV – and I could see that happening. She would, however, be awesome as Shawntel in a revival of Jerry Springer, Mama Morton, etc.

Jessie…needs to get some training but she’ll make it at some point. Ditto Samantha.

Rachel will get work, totally.

Keisha could use some training as well, but I could totally see her as Deena or Lorrell if UK producers ever realised that Dreamgirls deserves a theatre in the West End. She doesn’t have the voice for Effie, however, and would probably end up overshadowed as a result.

Francesca will continue getting auditions as long as her agent does his/her job properly. I wouldn’t be surprised if she takes on smaller side jobs for a bit to distance herself from the show first. Perhaps we’ll see her pop up again in time for Panto season?
