Samantha Barks - As Long As He Needs Me + Reprise

Samantha Barks performing As Long As He Needs Me and the Reprise in the Oliver UK Tour in Manchester

[@lilyrose9102]

Lets just hope that she will audition for Nancy in the new version of Oliver! the movie

[@hyacinthobrien660]

Lily Rose YAAAAAAAAASSSSS

[@JackAShepherd]

Nope, they’ve offered it to Shani Wallis, and if she’s not up to the task they’re gonna scrap the project. Seriously WhyTFFF are they remaking this treasure?!? Wallis, Moody, Wild, Reed... Why fuck with perfection. The ‘68 version isn’t remotely dated and it’s one of the greatest films in history.

[@tomgallowitz]

JackAShepherd agreed. They need to stay away from best picture winners, hoping West Side is good since the original is fabulous

[@rugby8-Philadelphia]

@@JackAShepherd Oliver Reed? And cut My Name? Bad casting, and bad decision for my taste

[@tonypassaretti]

Do not remake Oliver!

[@joshleach860]

It's one of the best Musical Theatre songs written for a female character

[@isabelc7535]

Auditioned for Nancy this past year before i knew how much singing she has. its a blessing i didn't get the part. i love samantha barks as nancy and in the les miserables movie as Eponine!!!!!

[@Jasmine-Mullally]

I'm convinced that she can do anything

[@nikkitrip2896]

How exactly did she not win I'd Do Anything? She is the perfect Nancy!

[@juilesmacd101]

super late I know but she was too young. the didn't think she had enough experience at 17 :)

[@detectivefiction3701]

+Juiles MacD Yes, and I tend to agree. I'm not a voice teacher, but it seems to me that here she was pushing her voice a bit -- something that many very young singers do in an attempt to sound more powerful. But I think Samantha Barks has come a long way in the 8 years since this recording.

[@juilesmacd101]

she really has.

[@tomgallowitz]

Ironically though she is probably the most successful

[@thrunsalmighty6863]

Wow. My dog also barks. But not as well as this.

[@postproduction101]

I love how she can change her singing voice according to the character she plays. She sounds different singing as Nancy compared to when she's Eponine or Zoe (on Groove High). The true mark of a great, versatile singer!

[@detectivefiction3701]

Samantha was only 17 in this recording? Well, it seems she pushed a bit, but the voice was basically there (wonderful high notes!), as well as the emotion. Surely she'll be a great Nancy someday.

[@sarahannemunson2687]

She was 20-21

[@billyflynn2]

She wasn't 17.. !

[@drillermcbrearty]

vibratto off the scale and over the top - fabulous! fecking love it!

[@Lealpi1]

I had no idea she did Nancy as well as Eponine. awesome

[@sideKnee69]

I wish there was a video of Sam singing as Lucy in jekyll and Hyde

[@indiahollyburgess]

when I listen to this I just see how much she has improved since she did id do anything she is just amazing in all her roles she plays

[@SamanthaBarksSprout]

Samantha Barks is Perfect.

[@NataszaParzymies]

SAM IS INCREDIBLE!! AND HER ACCENT IN THIS! :) SHE CAN DO ANYTHING!

[@nicolewhinnett641]

Sam is perfect for every role ... I really hope her new film shes starting (the secret one) is as elphaba in wicked the film musical!

[@th3m00nstone]

6 years later and we're still waiting for Wicked

[@hannahmarie3871]

O. M. G. The reprise was beautiful!!!

[@BeckyLawrenceUK]

She was Understudy for Lucy when we did Jekyll and Hyde in The Isle of Man in 2006! x

[@elisabethnerolk2283]

i can't even here she is singing this!!! thats awsome!!!

[@ProudSpeakerofWhale]

Why does Samantha always play these utterly tragic characters? Haha, I guess because she always does such a beautiful job.

[@tomgallowitz]

Same with Lea Salonga and Eva Noblezada

[@joejonasrulez20]

She is amazing, my nana did this and she sang it amazing! Samantha you are the same! Such an talented voice and girl!! Love you

[@DanielleEvexx]

she is just amazing, she's such an idol of mine :)

[@mcjepp01]

I don't understand how she continues to amaze me...

[@Singmyangel666]

Dear Lord this is amazing

[@alliejune3891]

Her accents... So amazing.

[@BeckyLawrenceUK]

Still cant get over the fact that we did Bugsy Malone together when we were 11 or 12! She has done SOO bloody well! Me next :P x

[@janec1585]

I bet the people who voted her off I'd Do Anything are kicking themselves

[@lizabth247]

There are days I think 'Oh, I could totally be in musicals.' Then I listen to stuff like this, and I'm like, "Nope...nope..I was so wrong."

[@jasmine100290]

The moving photo is annoying as well ad those who cough. But still. SAM. IS. AWESOME.

[@friendslover608]

does anyone know where I can see the show online ? :o I would LOVE to see her in this production !

[@hannahharwood7900]

she was awesome in oliver such an inspiring character

[@stevecallum7933]

Dare I say it this is every bit as good as Jodie prenjer's Nancy and i dont say that lightly. This young lady is amazing. I didnt know Cam MacCintosh was planning a remake of the Oliver movie but if he does Sam barks or Jodie should be Nancy without a doubt.

[@tomgallowitz]

Paul McKinlay-Durning actually like Sam and Kerry Ellis better as Nancy

[@97saoirse]

I'm so delighted I got to see this, she was fantastic, my favorite by far

[@helenwilce6474]

Samantha was brilliant - saw her in Olivia last night. Amazing voice

[@familymusicful]

She's beautiful, talented, and still so young. Everything's on her side and those dimples don't hurt any either! She is headed for big stardom... I hope the fame doesn't wreck her.

[@MelchiGabor1]

Absolutely brilliant!

[@lalamamababarahrah]

Hearing her sing brings me to cheers

[@helenlayton3823]

She's so amazingly good

[@lillmango]

since i'm a massive lea salonga fan....i was very critical when i watched her sing on my own (although she did an equally amazing job) but this....i don't even need to see her perform to know that she is amazing!

[@Lamloosheh1]

Omg I saw this last week! So lucky u recored this ! Loveeeeeee it

[@calisurfingboy2]

My sister said she sounds gross on this song. Clearly she needs to get her ears checked. Samantha Barks is PERFECTION!

[@WickedExpert1]

I'm in a production at the Hippodrome at the same time as Oliver is on ... so hopefully I'll catch her in the dressing rooms at some point! That would be so exciting!

[@KatThePuppyGirl]

I agree... It's really odd... But We all still love her the same...(GO SAM!)

[@Lilmissbroadway666]

She's brilliant

[@Hermionefan11]

i would sell my soul to watch her in this

[@joejonasrulez20]

And nana, love you to

[@lilims123]

Do you have oom pah pah? Anyone know of any recorded scenes of Sammy in this? Please let me know(:

[@Daniii150]

AMEN TO THAT

[@softballprobz14]

does anybody have her singing it live!?!?

[@crixxxxxxxxx]

Cameron Mackintosh just announced in the Daily Mail plans to make a new Oliver movie!

[@JulieLaughingSoHard]

I love her :') i really do!

[@DarthxErik]

I would love to see a video of this, because I'm loving the audio. The vibratto sounded a bit forced at the very top of the song but otherwise, yes, vocally accurate and impressive!

[@stevepearman]

Oh! Sam is soooooo good!!

[@davidpercival8231]

Samantha is a very talented young lady as well as being beautiful

[@cierra6940]

She's only 22!! How can someone sound that good at 22?!?!?!

[@ricecakes8635]

Anyone at any age can sing good.

[@sportytc1]

That is definitely Sam. I am so proud of her and what she has achieved. I am glad that she has beat Taylor Swift to the role of eponine in the film version coming out at the end of the year. She has developed so much and is now so versatile with the roles she has done and everything that i am kinda glad she did not win even though i felt she deserved it.

[@zoerosiee]

This is live.

[@therandomwriter]

awesome!

[@ry-mz2xu]

i heard that in cam mackintosh's new movie (assuming it's going to be made), and also his **possible** bway production of the show, he was hoping to get samantha barks :) yay!

[@1Cheytown]

Love Sam (one of the bright spots in the film version of Les Mis as far as I’m concerned) but I feel this was almost too rushed but other than that it’s great.

[@GeekyMeGT]

Please, if you have and can, please upload videos of the play. I can't see her on stage because I live in Central America jajaja but I really want to see her as Nancy :D She sounds really great!

[@laurenelainebone]

The feels Omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgong

[@tazsta10]

thats what i thought but i saw her sing it somewhere on youtube and thats def her!

[@ALittleFallOfHope]

Amazing! She sounds a lot different in this role than as Eponine but she's still incredible, of course. Now I'm not sure, do I prefer her as Eponine or Nancy? Hard choice...

[@ry-mz2xu]

who knows, she's just incredibly gifted :D but she wasn't even 22 here! she was 21 i believe! it's crazy.

[@chezzyfreak]

Thanks so much! This is amazing! Do you have any more vids of Sam in Oliver??

[@helenlayton3823]

Love Sam in any part she plays

[@Faranfalli1]

I never meant to say that you felt that - I was just amazed they considered her for the role. I didn't know.

[@phillippowerbrick]

Went to see this at the Bristol Hippodrome last night! She was fantastic!! I must say I like her much more in the role of Nancy than as Eponine in les mis

[@User-m9u4i]

apparently the rights to make Jekyll and Hyde (musical of course) and since it probs wont be out until like...2015, maybe Sam might do it hopefully...

[@Archiephilx]

If there's any new movies of oliver the musical, sammy better get nancy

[@kyleschoep]

i would love to see her play lucy in jekyll and hyde. shes perfect for it!

[@djcena123]

all.I hear is coughing

[@위곤-l6o]

Do you know where i can get the full musical?

[@marjoleintje1993]

is this really sam? i dont know it sounds so different as i use to hear her :) still very good! wish i got see her live!

[@Mattyma1998]

Do you have one of cat Simmons

[@lalamamababarahrah]

*tears

[@xp4perplanesx]

i thought she did?

[@ethalinia]

Her voice sounds very mature for someone her age, imo- at age 22, the voice has definitely not reached its full potential, so imagine how she will sound at age 30 :D

[@th3m00nstone]

she is 30 now and she is absolutely *incredible*

[@lisaemm24]

she is the perfect nancy! see her while you have the chance!

[@helenlayton3823]

Love Sam a

[@Petlover41]

That's because it's live..

[@45duckhunter]

OMG! SO MUCH COUGHING!

[@olliezlol]

THIS makes me excited for Les Mis - I was a bit worried as she's so capable of pulling off a perfect performance that it's a bit at odds with the gritty realism (like Anne's IDAD) that it seems Top Hooper's going for, but with moments like 4:41 she'll be fine!

[@nibnob7]

omg if she sung someone like you from jekll and hyde :O

[@helenwilce6474]

*Oliver!!!

[@kyleschoep]

love her far more than jodie in the role... about tied with kerry ellis, but i think think shes absolutely fantastic. improved so much since the show!

[@SophieSeaC]

There's only one thing for it: Elphaba next.

[@musicalfreakgrl2]

I know it's live. just usually even in live performances people don't talk so much.

[@XChezzaQChanX]

Wow that is brilliant then, I could have sworn she was Kerry Ellis :D XX

[@fishingforpie]

I didn't think she was very good in the i'd do anything show. But the I saw her in the les mis anniversary show and now i think she's great.

[@GottaLoveShowbiz]

I'm very very impressed with this!! I didn't like Sam in the Les Mis 25th concert but this is really really good, not as nasal as she usually is. Well Done Sam :D

[@awwyeahme2]

Nancy Wilson & Shirley Bassey have done very good club version

[@Mattyma1998]

Sam still looks young

[@mizukiyamashita576]

JUST STOP COUGHING!!

[@diaLogisch]

Does all right with it, she doesn't really look like a Nancy though...

[@simonhbrooke]

The picture moving is incredibly annoying...

[@Mattyma1998]

Sam is perfect for Nancy because she's supposed to be 17

[@Faranfalli1]

They consider TAYLOR SWIFT for Eponine? I'm sorry to those who think she could have done it, but I think she would have been awful for the part.

[@musicalfreakgrl2]

Annoying hearing talking/laughing in the background.

[@sportytc1]

i don't mean that i felt Taylor Swift deserved it what i meants was thant when Sam was on the tv show that was looking for Nancy that i felt she should have one but that i am kinda glad she didn't because she has had more opportunities
