I'd do anything - Final - Samantha

[@ohk8855]

Samantha is honestly my role model, she's such a down to earth lovely person and she's come so far I'm sure everyone's really proud of her! ❤️

[@sarahbee126]

By the way she did end up becoming Nancy, and then Eponine.

[@erinrippy1788]

Not right away. She placed third in "I'd do anything" and didn't play Nancy until more than 3 years later.

[@ellen_enchanted]

And now in 2019, announced to be Elsa in Frozen London 2020

[@thetattedpharmacist3215]

The most physically and emotionally beautiful star of Stage and Screen I've seen in a number of years, and what a voice!!!

[@keithbate9405]

Chris Lund She's great but for me Its Sierra Boggess.

[@bethmck]

Samantha and Rachel were the real winners of this show: Samantha has played Sally Bowles; Eponine on the West End, in concert and on film; played Nancy on tour; had a part in a Disney TV show and released a self-titled album and toured with it just to name a few!!;Rachel has played Meat and has played Elphaba from Wicked on the West End and Broadway. Whereas I haven't heard a peep from Jessie since the end of the show and Jodie has sort of disappeared since 2011

[@vanessamiller5671]

Go on the IMDb web page she's been very busy

[@charliehuxley2124]

Jessie was in Wild Rose and War and Peace just off the top of my head, I know she's been doing more film and TV which is a shame. Don't know about Jodie tbh. But I agree Samantha and Rachel are the real winners. Samantha Barks was my favourite on this and is one off my top Eponines. Talented and beautiful

[@ambertait8801]

I just remember crying my eyes out because she didn't win . I cried when I found out she was in Les mis

[@Goononymous]

Coming back to binge watch all Samantha Barks content on you KZbin after seeing her being Queen Else at Frozen West End!

[@kirstygraceanderson6317]

Sam is deffinatly my role model and I love looking back over the stuff she did when she was younger and see how far she's come since this!!!

[@TristanandIsolt]

The more I listen to this song the more I am impressed with both Sam and the song writer. Those lyrics are genius.

[@partyinthetardis]

Andrew was actually really right when he said earlier that she is GREAT with moving on stage. She just seems so natural. She is fantastic.

[@Broadwaylover97]

She is just so utterly perfect and amazing and I just freaking love her voice!!!!!

[@ProudSpeakerofWhale]

What a sweetheart! I'm so glad she's been able to come so far with her career in such a short amount of time, from her FIRST audition to a MAJOR film musical in, what, four years? I've heard she completely steals the show in Les Mis, and I can't wait to see it!

[@courtneyluvsglee]

She is absolutely stunning, I love her!

[@imissimeem]

And what an Eponine she was!

[@Lunasun50]

I'm having flashbacks from when i saw this on t.v years ago and posters of Samantha were all over here on the Isle of Man

[@teganmcdonald661]

i cant belive shes only 17 i mean i love her but seriosly sam but heck your my insperation for preforming so keep doing what your doing sam

[@ムサシロッキー]

I love this.Stunning,beautiful,Haunting&iust perfect.

[@fairlyvague82]

I really like ALWs honesty in these shows

[@laurenstyles14]

I'm crying so hard she is just so fantastic and she's such an inspiration to young girls to see where she started and where she is now. Just watching her at the oscars today I feel she will have an amazing future and good luck to her (:

[@ensleyexeter]

I want nothing more than for all of these performances to be on iTunes

[@SexinessIsMine]

I love her reaction when Webber said he had to go with her and when he said she could be Nancy.

[@Rach2625]

I've seen Samantha in the stage production and the movie and she is just the perfect Eponine!

[@RobinMarshall-gu4cp]

Samantha was amazing in the UK Tour in OLIVER! 2011-2012-2013

[@gerrykelly8680]

Beautiful women singing a beautiful song and WoW nailed it

[@danielcronin98]

Shes amazing

[@cierra6940]

its amazing how far she has come in 2 years

[@AndreasWyder]

I love herrrr!!! She is so amazing. :-D

[@kirstygraceanderson6317]

Sam is my role model, she shows that you can do anything!

[@emilybainbridge3533]

Soo glad to have found she got Nancy and eponine!! She is amazing!!!

[@Becky4698]

The eleven who dislike this great performance from Sam are only jealous of her beautiful voice. She deserves to be Eponine in the film. Already when she was 17 years old she was amazing. She inspire me a lot!

[@asaadi0102]

fav singer

[@lydiab2927]

And then she became Nancy after Eponine and was AMAZING- Sam's just awesome.

[@SingMariahSing]

Well I sure as heck hope you believe in yourself now, Sam! So much success ahead of her!

[@popazz1]

Had she won the role of Nancy would we have seen her in Les Mis'?! She must've been so disappointed not to win but hey look where she is now,in one of the most eagerly anticipated films of perhaps the last decade.She's matured,in age & vocaly & in my opinion IS Eponine! What a way to get your big break in cinema! Really looking foward to seeing her in the film.

[@sportytc1]

continued whilst Rachel has played 2 parts 1 is Meat in WWRY and the other as Elphaba in Wicked, Sam has played Nancy, Eponine,Sally Bowled from Caberet, she has been in Aladdin and has been picked to play Eponine in the fil version of Les Mis

[@isabelc7535]

Go Samantha!!!!! I've only seen her in Oliver as nancy and Les Miz as Eponine and she's the besT!!!!!

[@BagOfSticksFork]

She was Nancy on the 2012 tour and eponine in the west end, 25th anniversary , the lead in cabaret and shes now in the les mis film. I havn't heard what jodie has done

[@ItsTheBeautyBarbie]

I LOVE HER SO MUCH!

[@karmawindsor1389]

i love her so much! :)

[@emmam16]

She's so sweet and talented. Go for it Sam! I'm sure you will get a great role in the west end.

[@chrissi1900]

She is indeed absolutely breathtaking in de film.

[@hannah-mary]

Samantha is AMAZING.

[@susanwalker5992]

fabulous

[@wanderinglizzy]

I'm going to find all the episodes of this show and watch them all :D

[@ShannonGaGa]

@lucie777 and they both places 3rd.That's what I thought and Siobhan sang this song in the final 3 too!

[@thegirlnextdior2]

aww such a cute baby sam!

[@postproduction101]

From a TV talent show called "I'd do anything". All the contestants are fighting for the role of Nancy in Oliver! Although Samantha didn't win (she only got 3rd) she ended up being cast as Nancy a few years later anyway.

[@justinsmith3721]

She should play Mimi!

[@justinsmith3721]

+Clarissa Jilan from a musical rent look it up ! It's v good

[@MsMandaPanda101]

She is so beautiful. Absolutely love her as Eponine.

[@courtneyluvsglee]

That's true and she has by far been the most successful of all the contestants :)

[@joshua093221]

Wonderful. Just wonderful :)

[@RoseTylerxx]

This brought me out in goosebumps. The song naturally brings tears to my eyes and Sam carries this off beautifully. It isn't my favourite, I prefered her singing Defying Gravity but this is still an amazing performance.

[@Banner569]

Cant believe she is on Les Mis now!!!! its an amazing film and she sings a beautiful song - On My own :D xx

[@reneeneufeld]

She made me cry :)

[@milanpacheco7818]

In the beginning when she was crying it just made me cry because shes so inspiring and i think that she wasnt meant to get nancy because she was destined to be eponine! love you sam

[@emilybainbridge3533]

She is absolutely amazing!! She is so incredible!! Hope she got nancy!!

[@keithbate9405]

Emily Bainbridge She did not win the show so was not Nancy but she went on to perform Eponine first on the London stage then in the film.

[@lucywallis400]

+Emily Bainbridge She didn't win, but they toured the show a couple of years later, and she played Nancy then

[@emilybainbridge3533]

Lucy Wallis​ Didn't realise that, thanks for sharing your knowledge xxx

[@adrixbeatles]

And now she's a movie star!!! She could do anything!

[@megzckatenoooooooooo]

she really can do anything she was in the stage shit of les mis and the movie she is gorgeous and has a fable voice

[@Frost8488]

I think she just made it to the top of my most favorite actresses list ! =|

[@thekermitkid1992]

please don't forget jodie. tru she won, but she has also played the Lady of the Lake in Spamalot, been in things on TV and radio, and is currently in One Man two Guvnors =)

[@kitiong]

i need to watch this show! especially since barrowman's in it!

[@jasperjung4441]

can't agree more, their both stars on their own journey

[@KatThePuppyGirl]

I know.... I wanted to cry watching it! :')

[@gabicastle9217]

Omg it's Sam!!!!!!

[@TristanandIsolt]

I thought this song was her best performance. How could anybody have a heart and eliminate her?

[@marycarey2960]

She's younger here and her voice needed to mature a bit. I think they decided she was something more than what she was showing and could do better.

[@TristanandIsolt]

@@marycarey2960 She didn't win, but she was clearly the finalist with the most potential and she did get to play Nancy later and then of course Eponine in the film version of Le Miserables.

[@marychristmas4911]

Wow, what an incredible voice! 🥰

[@Tiepobadaae]

ikr, she did the part justice, but there is so damn much to that role, she played it like any other actress

[@lydiab2927]

Yeah, Marius....

[@mwalzy98]

Best. Eponine. Ever!!!!!

[@LangfordX]

this show was a competition to play the role of Nancy in Oliver in the West End. Sam didn't win, but she got to the final 3. However, she has done much more in her career than any of the rest of the contestants have. Cameron Mackintosh spotted her on the show, and asked her to play Eponine in the West End :)

[@jaromir]

she is very talented

[@RoseTylerxx]

Jodie Prenger is a huge star now! I thought she was the perfect Nancy and about a year and a half ago I saw John Barrowman live for my 21st birthday in York and she performed too-it was ELECTRIC! Also, she sang the song 'So Close' from the film Enchanted with John and it was so beautiful. I saw Sam though as Eponine at the 25th Anniversary of Les Mis and then the film too! Jodie was Nancy, deservedly, but Sam got a role more suited to her!

[@sendinthesmiles]

five years later

[@trungha8]

Ah!! She worked with John Barrowman!! That's awesome! They did a great job together!

[@alexthelizardking]

0:43 speechless

[@myteenagevoice101]

in the 25th musical and movie. she'll be on the big screen. that's INSANE.

[@PhantomifyEponine]

Omg I really like her dimples.

[@luciaarndt]

i saw her at the west end as eponine as well

[@maritxx0210]

Check out John Vooijs with this song in the dutch tv-show, in search of Joseph (Op zoek naar Joseph, John, Anyone who had a heart) It's amazing, way more heartbreaking..

[@alison5673]

Its crazy to think she is singing at the Oscars tomorrow. I think that makes her the real winner!

[@DGokeys1fan]

Why couldn't I have seen this show... Samantha and ALW as a judge?

[@JulianaBolle]

Thank you! :D

[@winifredsunu9514]

JOHN BARROWMAN AND SAM!!!

[@jazmyn594]

i love how even though she didn't win, she ended up playing nancy anyway. and then eponine. and then eponine in the movie. she is so amazing. :')

[@richallenxbox1976]

Wow! She sings it even better than Cilla herself did, and Sheridan Smith!

[@ncisgigfan]

@Hollstaa3xx no, Nick is dating with Delta now

[@renaesalunga842]

She lost but she got to play eponine on broadway for a year, and then play her a gain for les mis 25th anniversary then she got to play nancy and then after play eponine in the movie.mamazing how far she went.

[@starfollowedstar]

"...And you're reasonably attractive." Biggest understatement ever.

[@courtneyluvsglee]

Have you seen her sing on my own? She was practically crying! If that's not brilliant acting then I don't know what is

[@hlkeeley5374]

This is perfect for Nancy's role!

[@jml0425]

you go sprout!

[@PoptartPals]

Barrowman! "FANTASTIC FANTASTIC FANTASTIC"

[@anonymousintrovert3864]

what show is this??! ... i first saw samantha at les miz (the one with nick jonas).. then at the 2012 movie, i was never a fan of her.,didnt really pay atention to her because of the t. swift news.., but when i saw this and her other video interviews'' i can really see that she's a nice person... i like her now.. very happy the role of eponine in the big screen ended up to her, as hers :)) GO AND ROCK ON SAM.BARKS ! :D

[@amathist1998]

i wish they'd do a Disney Broadway Musical for Andrew's Musical Revival Search for this year!

[@imstilleatingabagel]

woops, somebody's forgetting that Les Mis is a stage show and not just a movie. yes, two years later. >_

[@joleneelizabeth7962]

she is! i do like jodie prenger too tho! but sam is just amazing!

[@kastheglitch]

that male audience comment is so weird. she’s 17 wtf…

[@koriley]

I don't know why. I warmed to her slowly. Although I don't think she's Nancy. She has aspects, as did Jessie, but I don't think either was Nancy.

[@sportytc1]

i completely agree with you. sam should have one and the singing in the rain choice was a serious mistake on the panels choice and i think it cost her the role but overal i am glad as otherwise she would not of been in led mis

[@courtneyluvsglee]

4:30 - 4:51 is my favorite part!

[@sweetdreamer711]

What this show called? I must look!
