I'd Do Anything (BBC) S01E22 - The Final Result!

It is finally revealed which contest will play the role of Nancy in Cameron Mackintosh's production of Oliver! as the results from the public vote are announced.

[@clareperry627]

One simple trick won it for Jodie. She doesn't let her eyes leave the camera, she's singing directly at the viewer

[@therealameliabedelia7821]

I might be a Nancy traditionalist but I'm so glad that Jodie won. The audience falls in love with Nancy because of her heart- not because of her rawness or grit. And you need them to fall in love with her or her death does not have the emotional payoff it should. The 2009 cast recording is my favorite because of the amazing charisma Jodie has in the role.

The 2009 Live London Cast Recording

[@jaycievictory8461]

I saw Jodie live as Nancy. She was good, but I didn't fall in love with her. So her death didn't break my heart. Jodie was wonderful in the finale, but when it comes to the Oliver material, I honestly believe Jessie gave the more emotional, believable performance.

[@hillarystone7506]

The same for Samantha Barks. She went on to do Les Mis on West End and the movie among other things.

[@Tricia_K]

Although I agree that Jodie was the better fit for this particular part, Jessie's performance of "As Long As He Needs Me" just blew me away - so emotionally connected, so believable, she had me in tears by the end!😍😍

[@jaycievictory8461]

I'm sorry but Jessie BLEW Jodie out of the water there. She embodied the desperation, heartbreak and tragedy of Nancy mistakenly standing by her man. Jodie has a great voice but I didn't feel light and shade in that performance. I didn't feel her feeling the words. Based on those performances, Jessie should have won.

[@jaycievictory8461]

Having watched to the end, she puts more light and shade and emotion into her second performance of the song at the end.

[@kastanymusica]

Anyone else notice how pissed off Andrew, Cameron and Barry look when their favourite didn’t win? Oof those glares and forced smiling/clapping, that’s British for “absolutely livid but we’re on TV so need to be polite” 😬😂

[@jorgizoran4340]

time?

[@kastanymusica]

@@jorgizoran4340 Jodie wins at 25:27, Andrew’s reaction at 26:03, Cameron smiles the most of the three but compare him and Barry to John and Denise at 26:53 and you’ll see who is genuinely happy...

[@jorgizoran4340]

@@kastanymusica I'd say Andrew was legit angry and hiding it. Cameron was more balanced, showing happiness for Jodie while not rubbing it in Jessie's face. Barry was probably disappointed but we don't get many shots of him after the announcement, it could be possible being an overweight,old man with the final happening late, he was just tired.

[@Akirathehusky]

@@jorgizoran4340 Cameron was more angry than Andrew. He smile was so forced, you could tell he wasn't happy.

[@jangoslin8258]

Both Jessie and Jodie have made wonderful careers from the show , Jessie went on to star in film and television while Jodie has had so many leading roles in what she loves most , the theatre , Both are hugh winners .

[@Munomanom]

When Jodie started singing at the end "I won't betray his trust though people say I must" felt like a big f you to ALW because it was so obvious he didn't want Jodie to win... the way she sang it with so much more power than earlier which is something he said she didn't have... it was a definite "f you, I told you I could do it" moment

[@seamus1956]

I think Jodie did a great job as Nancy; Jessie turned down the opportunity to understudy Nancy to do other theater, but it’s possible that the big overall winner was 3rd place Samantha Barks who played Nancy in the UK touring company before going on to play Éponine in Les Miserables, first at the Queens Theater in London, then at the 25th Anniversary Concert and finally in the 2012 movie.

[@katey8711]

Also Rachel, she's been in wicked and come from away both in the west end and broadway aswell as many other shows, tours and concerts!

[@donnacoupe7359]

Katey parkinson Rachel is a world class performer, un matched in many way. Samantha, too has been fabulous in everything she has done, a perfect Eponine.

[@alessa.]

And then she was also in Chess, Chicago and originated the role of Viviane in the adaptation of Pretty Woman! She won!

[@keithbate9405]

Samantha has had the biggest musical career no doubt. She is the definitive Eponine . But Jessie decided she wanted to be more than just a singer. She wanted to be an actress, and my goodness me she is one hell of an actress. Brilliant in everything she does. Of course she is also a fantastic singer ! IMO Super stardom awaits her

[@ricardogulpe6328]

Keith Bate Jesse’s got the resemblance of Nicole Kidman and deserved most to be Nancy coz’ she had that X factor in interpretation of moving emotions in her!!! A good day to y’all!

[@Dim4323]

I was happy jodie won it, I went to see the play and did see her has the winner.

[@MellySmith-ip7yu]

Andrew, Cameron and Barry clearly thought that Jessie was the perfect choice for Nancy. Andrew later said that he thought Jodie was too old for the part of Nancy as the character of Nancy. What a stand out star Jessie was become. She's one of the best actresses of her generation.

[@SuperSuec]

Strange now that Samantha is now a bona fide west end star and Jessie Buckley is a wonderful actress.

[@vintagesoup79]

Samantha, Jessie, Jodie... they've all done better than Denise Van Outen and more likely to get on telly than John Barrowman.

[@smbeecrochetcreations4372]

[@ShadowsofthePastTheater]

Apparently Jodi broke up with her fiance a few weeks after this aired. He claims she was just using him to win. She also didn't make him part of the celebrations after she had won.

[@mimiadams247]

Oh it was apparent for weeks that although he was still at the shows, things weren't good between them. And she seemed sad and stressed in a way that couldn't really be explained by the pressures of the show. The guy interviews with a big media source and gave a detailed account of his version of their first date, even talking about when they first had sex. He then proceeded to trash her in said media source, all while playing poor me... Freakin' narcissist. No wonder she broke up with him. Probably the timing was due to the amount of pressure and intensity in her life without adding a breakup, and the revenge he was likely to seek.

[@lindalewis7349]

Jodie was right for the role at that time in her life, so pleased she won it. Well deserved, especially hearing 2 people keep harping on about Jessie all the time. You did great you deserved it for sure, and the public agreed. People need to remember that. Jessie you shone and from coming runner up went on to have an amazing career which is still happening for you, as it is for our Jodie. Well done both of you. 😊❤🎉 xx

[@TsWade2]

I've heard Jessie was upset that she didn't get the part.

[@klmartini906]

Jesse was the magic Nancy..Jodie is the safe Nancy .

[@jeremiahkerry]

Jessie won when she was born into such a talented Killarney family. Her mother, harpist / soprano Marina Cassidy is a regular at White House functions. They are equally talented, stable ladies who wander unmolested through Killarney. As does Michael Fassbender when back home in Killarney.

[@lucyhurst2534]

Unlike Fassbender though, she hasn’t been accused of beating her partner so severely that they needed hospitalisation.
