Love that they haven't changed the Whisper House stage.
Was half expecting Dianne Pilkington to be limping up and down the stairs or Simon Lipkin strutting around looking menacing 😂

It was all about the Criswell for me. She was glorious. Why no-one has snapped her up for one of the showstoppers in 'Follies' I'll never know.
Liam Doyle was great with his audition part for 'Dear Evan Hansen'.
Oliver Savile has lovely arms.
And someone needs to tell Caroline Flack that knees like that should be covered up. She looked great but she's got the knees of a 70 year old.

Haha audition part. I suppose he does look baby faced enough. He is naturally rather endearing as well isn't he.

I don't rate Emma's Listen at all. It's a poor imitation of Beyonce's concert version of the song down to every single grunt. Blah.
Liam Tamney's Hurricane was amateurish. Okay, I'm cranky. I'll go to bed.

Her voice is spectacular, but she has a repuation for being difficult to work with unfortunately. Why does this board not have a gossip section or thread??  |

Just re-watched Emma's Listen, definitely one of the highlights of the night. Although I think it packed more punch live, perhaps maybe with the adrenaline of the audience. I didn't hear a problem with Nathan (other than it being really high in the wrong key) from further back, he did say he'd come in off the back of a 9 show week and Paul picked the song but I'm a fan of that rock tone. But really no one was in the league of Marisha. She just exudes class and confidence. Tyrone was simple but again classy and a wonderful tone.
I wasn't personally a fan either of the Liam's. Hurricane was a bit messy and Doyle did nothing with the song to draw me in like Ben Platt does, just a bit bland although nice to look at. Also Caroline Flack didn't need to be there, I don't think many people booked to see her so thought it was an odd choice.
But in all a fun night for charity. I liked the easter egg idea even though it failed miserably due to not being full or people to shy to admit one was under their seat. But it did break up just a tirade of singers and I got the idea to have some interactivity. I had fun and seen as everyone gave their time and energy up for free for a good cause I can't really take too much like or dislike!

The singing portion wasn't bad (though having said that, I didn't think it was *great*) but the rapping/spoken section was really quite cringey. And a large chunk seemed out of time? Could just be my ears. A little OT, but as much as it's obviously sad for him to have not got the job (there'll be work for him, I'm sure), his performance is what worries me about Brit MT performers taking on Hamilton. The actual cast they have so far definitely make me worry less, though! |

The actual cast they have so far definitely make me worry less, though! I agree, I think it's that he doesn't quite articulate the words quick enough which makes it feel out of time. Which I think is maybe about him having to put on an accent perhaps? Really eager to see who they have got. Although from what I've heard if the King George is correct he's a great choice! |
