They should’ve never gotten rid of these types of shows. As a theatre kid myself, this was one of the shows I remember being excited for every weekend Also of course I was Team Jodie 😁🥇💜
Love watching this again . So much talent in the final 12 and so many of them have became super successful from this show. Unbelievable tbat they had doubts about Rachel and she's one of the biggest west end stars at the moment and even made it to Broadway.
That’s what I loved about these shows though- it’s not just about who is the most talented, it’s who is right for that role. Looking back, I think Rachel would have been great but at the time I totally saw Jessie or Jodie as Nancy
Jessie Buckley is a superstar now! And Jodie is a West-end star. It's funny watching these two years later when you know how things turned out for these people.
About 3 weeks ago i saw rachel playing the leading role in the lloyd webber musical Sunset Boulevard! She was outstandingly good. And i remember now that ...10 or 15 years ago ..? .. i saw her singing on this very show and thinking she was brilliant with an amazingly powerful clear voice .. and what about jessie's film career?! Bravo to both!x
This show and then later Over The Rainbow were literally what started my love for musical theater as a young girl. Such a big part of my life. Was a Jodie fan from the start too lol.
This show seems to turn out more people with a somewhat lasting career in showbiz than things like Idol, X factor and Got Talent. I guess a 12 month contract on West End gives you more exposure and credibility than a one hit wonder single that tops the charts for two weeks.
Why not? Without knowing their names, upfront I began wondering why I knew certain faces and then when some names began coming in...I realized seeing Jessie Buckley in "Judy:" and hearing Renee Zellwegger gush about her and then how she sung the song at the BAFTAs, "Glasgow" was amazing. Rachel Tucker, of course, "Wicked"....+++ and Samantha Barks, "Les Miserables", playing Eponine. How wonderful for them that this show, a decade ago ++ helped them out at their beginnings. I don't know why I know all this stuff...as I am not British, but, hey...I read, watch, listen. Cheers!
and from clips I've seen I believe she was informed she got cast for the movie while she was playing Nancy herself after curtain call of a performance on the stage... so very appropriate .
How would you rank them personally, like what is your preferred finishing order? Here's mine: 1. Rachel (robbed of being in the top three thanks to ALW's obsession with Samantha) 2. Jodie 3. Sarah (went out way too early) 4. Francesca (as above; she was actually my fave until she went out when it first aired) 5. Samantha 6. Cleo (she should have gotten a lot further IMO) 7. Jessie 8. Niamh 9. Ashley (how she outlasted Francesca AND Sarah I will never know) 10. Keisha 11. Amy 12. Tara (she should have been the first one out)
Still remember fuming that ALW chose Samantha for the top three over Rachel because he had some sort of thing for her. Now both of them are arguably the most succesful out of the lot of them. Haven't heard anything of Jodie for a while. (Edit: Apparently Jessie's done quite well for herself too! Honestly the most successful group of finalists on all of these shows)
Jessie is doing incredibly well in film, she played the lead in the box office film 'Wild Rose' where she was nominated for the best actress BAFTA ,she also stars in the Netflix film 'I think I should end things' as well as staring in multiple tv series for BBC and HBO check her out :)
She’s arguably the most successful. She’s a BAFTA Nominee and played along side Renee Zellweger in her Academy Award winning performance in ‘Judy’. She was also mentioned in Renee’s Oscar speech.
Ok so I don't believe i watched this properly when it was first out, but I obviously know of Jodie. When I'm watching the rest, the first singer Jessie, I don't rate very highly based on that performance, and Tara..... she is really irritating me and I don't know why lol. Everytime she sings 'Suddenly I see ahh'... i just want to tell her that see is one syllable. Also, her last few notes.... shocking. But Jodie was very good.
The choreography and blocking of all these performances remind me of when I'd do that teenage girl thing where you pretend you're giving your own concert or performing in a musical. What I mean is, it's awkward and cringey. Super weird. The singing is great, but the choreography is like... wtf.

This is so scripted. I mean I loved watching it. But the amount of stereotypes that they were saying, just gives it away. Especially the way the judges speak.

@@teacherkate1 or the girl called nancy who was kicked out in the boot camp.
I watch a lot and comment rarely. But all these years later... Samantha's upper register/vocal control up top this early in her career is incredible.

Jessie Buckley is a superstar now! And Jodie is a West-end star. It's funny watching these two years later when you know how things turned out for these people.
Not to mention Samantha has done amazing aswell
Freakin loved this show
Yeah same
Looking back, I think all of them could actually have played Nancy if given the chance

All this boys are so cute and talented 😍
Mad to think Rachel became the longest serving Elphaba in Wicked on the West End and went to Broadway!
Why are you mad about that? She's super talented
@@rileycoleman7217 sorry Gwen, who said I was mad? Bit of an assumption there isn’t it.
@@rileycoleman7217 Gwen, in that context, "Mad" doesn't mean angry. It is like saying "Wow it is crazy to think that...." etc. :)

I think a moden interpretation of Oliver or if it was written today would have not only Nancy survive but realizing she deserves better then Sikes.
Why not?

And rachel was the lead in come from away and samantha is elsa in frozen
It's weird to think all of these Oliver's are actually grown up's now.
Well it would be weird if they weren't grown ups.
they would have had to pick about three of them in reality too. for legal reasons
i came here from one of there tiktoks 😂🤣
Arthur is a professional wrestler now lol!
Omg i just realised Eponine is in this show 😂😂
Me too. 😄
Didn’t you see how they announce she will be Éponine in Movie
I realised when she popped on the screen during her intro and rushed to the comments to see if anyone else recognised her ahah
And Elsa
Don't forget Cathy in The Last Five Years back in 2016!
rachel tucker went on to be elphaba in wicked
Thank you
How ironic that the first two to sing were the last 2 standing at the end.
Samantha... Wasn't she in the movie version of Les Miserables?
Yes and she played Eponine and she was also in Les Misérables 25th Anniversary Concert in 2010
and from clips I've seen I believe she was informed she got cast for the movie while she was playing Nancy herself after curtain call of a performance on the stage... so very appropriate .
Julia Chang was in the studio audience that night
This show was my fucking childhood 😂
It’s interesting, watching ALW. You can almost see him thinking, next!
a fun show .
Keisha is a star
How would you rank them personally, like what is your preferred finishing order? Here's mine:
1. Rachel (robbed of being in the top three thanks to ALW's obsession with Samantha)
2. Jodie
3. Sarah (went out way too early)
4. Francesca (as above; she was actually my fave until she went out when it first aired)
5. Samantha
6. Cleo (she should have gotten a lot further IMO)
7. Jessie
8. Niamh
9. Ashley (how she outlasted Francesca AND Sarah I will never know)
10. Keisha
11. Amy
12. Tara (she should have been the first one out)
Rachel wasn't robbed, she ended up in the bottom 2 on 3 occasions, while Samantha only once.
Rachel tucker and samantha barks were the true winners of the show and ended up with parts way better than Nancy!
Jessica Buckley has found her realm as an award winning actress check out her wikipedia
Samantha Barks did play Nancy in the UK Tour of Oliver from 2011 to 2013
Still remember fuming that ALW chose Samantha for the top three over Rachel because he had some sort of thing for her. Now both of them are arguably the most succesful out of the lot of them. Haven't heard anything of Jodie for a while.
(Edit: Apparently Jessie's done quite well for herself too! Honestly the most successful group of finalists on all of these shows)
Saw Jodie as Miss Hannigan in Annie before lockdown very much enjoyed it
Jessie's actually doing quite well now, she's started acting in films and was recently in Judy
Jessie is doing incredibly well in film, she played the lead in the box office film 'Wild Rose' where she was nominated for the best actress BAFTA ,she also stars in the Netflix film 'I think I should end things' as well as staring in multiple tv series for BBC and HBO check her out :)
Jessie Buckley is doing fantastically well and still rising.........
She’s arguably the most successful. She’s a BAFTA Nominee and played along side Renee Zellweger in her Academy Award winning performance in ‘Judy’. She was also mentioned in Renee’s Oscar speech.
Jodie is from my hometown. :)
Jodie reminds me of Sheridan Smith
Lmao this is so dramatic the dutch version of this is so peaceful
Woman singing hero was good
The Search For Nancy And Oliver For Cameron Macintosh’s 2009 West End Production Of Oliver Continues Live
Ok so I don't believe i watched this properly when it was first out, but I obviously know of Jodie.

Jessie was the experts choice .She was by far the best .But John Barroman wasn't haven't it .
I vote for Jodie
The choreography and blocking of all these performances remind me of when I'd do that teenage girl thing where you pretend you're giving your own concert or performing in a musical. What I mean is, it's awkward and cringey. Super weird. The singing is great, but the choreography is like... wtf.

That’s The Same Song That Hayley Tamaddon From Soapstar Superstar 2007 Sung
They're being so gross with Samantha

How on earth was Tara "polished"?
This is so scripted. I mean I loved watching it. But the amount of stereotypes that they were saying, just gives it away. Especially the way the judges speak.
Ooof....some white ladies should not sing Aretha it’s just.
