How do you Solve a Problem like Maria?

Siobhan is a much better singer than Aiofe and sooooo gorgeous (not that Aiofe isn't very attractive). I think Aiofe was the better actress but they can work with Siobhan. I know John Barrowman is gay but lucky lucky barstard, eh? I think it's a shame Abi went out as she's very suited to the part IMO and was unfairly judged by the panel. How did Helena go from four times bottom to instant finalist> What a joke. She's easily the worst singer in the comp. But she wheeled out her old granny for emotional blackmail and sang an inexplicibly popular dirge last night. Obviously 'it' worked... I think Connie will win as she's the most professional and if I were a producer I'd feel safe with her.

Woah... John Barrowman is gay?!

You didn't know??

Graham Norton makes jokes about it every week.

Man I'm useless at noticing gay people. Remember that I didn't even know my best friend was gay for the past 3 years.

Can't wait for next week's show!!!

You'd think him grabbing your cock would've provided a hint...

What did Helena sing? No problems with them singing Don't Cry For Me Argentina, nice song

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 11 Sep 2006, 14:44

Helena sang "My Heart Will Go On"

Bleecch!

Wheeling on her ancient granny was a cheap shot.

Abi should've brought her one-armed, black, lesbian aunt to redress the balance.

I hate that song.... I think Mark's right - Helena did have the sympathy angle... but then they all did.

I'd like to see Helena win. I knew Siobahn would be out first.

However I reckon Connie will win tonight. Who's with me?

I hope Connie wins. She was outstanding again tonight. I'd feel happy paying at the box office to see her play Maria.

Helena is the easily the weakest. I've no idea where this swell of audience support has come from.

I hope we hear from Siobhan again as she's too talented (and gorgeous) to disappear from public view.

Would you pay £55 though?

I was so right. Man I'm awesome imo.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 16 Sep 2006, 22:37

Well, if I was the sort who would pay £55 to see a show on the West End...

I'm a cheap sake, the kind of person they have Matinees for...

When do tickets go on sale for the show? When are the show dates and is she touring?

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 17 Sep 2006, 03:22

I have no idea, mate.

I'm sure adverts will turn up in newspapers and magazines.

Would be nice if the BBC do a follow-up in six months or so covering the opening night and reactions to the show, etc...

I hope it does well.
