Seriously, they should consider her for Elphaba in a Wicked film. She can sing the role for sure, she looks the role, and she's famous enough to do it.

@Team Queen’ s Fearn Tucker and Bentley Forever thank you, that was jsut plain bad from start to finish. ok her voice doenst have the strenght or spektrum, fine, but then the timing, so like no feeling for rymth and worst part was that acting. it just looks like she is an actor trying hard to act an act and overdoing it too. i came her after hering a not so bad version of another song of her, and she do have an interresting voice but this is 4 numbers to big. celine dion? no way ever not even close. and someone should punch the judges into their couches for lying so much. wow im dissapointed in that performance

@@woswasdenni1914 This was when she was 17 years old and still an unknown trying to break into show business. Of course she's going to be unpolished at this stage. If you saw her somewhere else before this and thought she was better there, it's because by then she had developed more as a performer. Experience matters. And keep in mind that Andrew Lloyd Webber didn't say that she WAS a Celine Dion, he said that she wasn't yet at that level because she hadn't matured yet, but that she had potential.

They'd better seriously consider her for the Wicked film. I know they'll make one, but I don't know how soon. But at 23, she's got some plenty of years left before she grows out of the role.

It's ironic that her competitor on this show, Rachel, would go on to not only play Elphaba in the West End production of Wicked but set a record as playing the role the longest, and then reprise the role on Broadway.

Really hope they pick her for Elpheba in the movie of wicked, Samantha Barks & Amanda Seyfried would be the perfect pairing for Elpheba & Glinda. Add in Meryl Streep as Madam Morrible, Kelsey Grammer as the wizard, Daniel Radcliffe for Boc, Zac Effron or Jeremy Jordan for Fieyro & maybe Leah Michelle for Nessa & you'd have the perfect cast.

Several of the competitors from this show have gone on to huge professional careers. Samantha has had a huge stage and film career, Rachel has had a huge stage career, and Jessie has had a huge career in television and movies and some stage work. Just a few years ago Jessie received a British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA) nomination for Best Actress for a film role, up against such notables that year such as Renée Zellweger and Scarlett Johansson -- and she even costarred with Renée Zellweger in the film for which Renée ended up winning Best Actress ("Judy"); Jessie's nomination was for a different film ("Wild Rose"). kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJDHmq2Mn7OHmMk

Actually i think she did superbly. If you have seen the show then it is pretty much how they do it. Obviously it will come across better actually sung in Wicked as you have all the costumes and atmosphere and more importantly the build up to the song. Sam Did everything that was asked of her and more. And she did the final bit without the back up cast or Glinda doing her part. Seeing defying gravity as part of Wicked will blow you away and you can understand more why it is performed that way
