How do you solve a problem like Maria?

[*LilMissClaraHolic*]

Whos going to be watching tomorrow night? Graham Norton is hosting a show to find someone to play Maria Von Trapp in the new sound of music west end show. The public get to decide who wins. It looks like a good show.

[jenni]

I dunno, never heard anything about this before.

[kattozilla]

yeah i saw it last week when i was up my friends before we was gonna watch bb it was on just after/before eastenders good idea though although they would have to be pretty good to take the part

[smelleykins]

woah what a part to get though, and yeh i agree they would have to be amazing to get it!!

[*LilMissClaraHolic*]

I think theres 2 audition shows starting tonight. then 8 live shows.

[Scott_lee's_Rock]

its a 6 month contract they are winning a place for

[Blondie x]

lmao! i was ready 2 audition for that, one of the teachers at school gave the the lil sheet about it and sed i shud go and do it, but i started back at work they weekend the audtions were on so cudnt go, was gutted, but watching it 2nite ikinda wasnt,lol

[smelleykins]

i liked the last girl briony - i think she sounds very good, a tad mad like but her voice was great!

[*LilMissClaraHolic*]

Yeah Briony sounds and looks a bit nutty lol. But I liked the way she didn't take no for an answer and went back, and also made the producer cry.

[smelleykins]

yeah that was like her sealer!! she got in then1!

[josey]

i never watched it, knew it was on but didnt have tv on till late sdaturday night, graham norton,s prestenting isnt he?

[Gem]

i started watching it but i was really ill and had to go to sleep - did that really pretty girl get through the maria school?

[*LilMissClaraHolic*]

I don't know which you mean Gemma. lol. Siovhon (Sp?) was really pretty and had a really good voice and she got through, i don't know if thats the one you mean.

[lisa]

i missed it coz i was at work

[*LilMissClaraHolic*]

I'm gutted that Siobhan isn't in the final ten. :( :(

[smelleykins]

uh i missed it - who's in the final ten?? xx

[*LilMissClaraHolic*]

I can't remember them all

Connie
Leanne
Laura
Emilie
Simona

Can't remember the others sorry

[-x-Soph-x-]

I missed the second show yday cos Big Bro was on at the same time!

DId that girl with the short hair get through? The cocky one who had an answer to everything get thru? Hopefully not!

I liked Lucy! I wanted her to get thru to the 20

[*LilMissClaraHolic*]

DId that girl with the short hair get through? The cocky one who had an answer to everything get thru? Hopefully not!



Yes Emilie did get through :ho:

[-x-Soph-x-]

eurgh! she was horrible, full of herself and her acting wasnt brilliant either!

[*LilMissClaraHolic*]

She was rubbish at acting, and she was so up her own *Bleep* lol

[smelleykins]

arse! i'll say it for ya lisa! :D x

[tron]

Smelleykins, you now owe the forums Swear Box 50 pence.............:lol2:

[*LilMissClaraHolic*]

Thanks Rach lol

[Twisted_Angel]

is this a programme on t.v ive heard a lil bout it but not seen it etc

[-x-Soph-x-]

Yer - they are trying to find the right girl to be the part of Maria Von Trapp in the Sound of Music, It's on BBC1, On Saturdays

[*LilMissClaraHolic*]

It looks as though Siobhan is in the final ten now and Emilie isn't. In todays mirror it has pics of them all, and Siobhans is in there, but Emilies isn't. And also on the BBC website, it says that Emilie pulled out :D Yay so happy

http://www.bbc.co.uk/maria/

[-x-Soph-x-]

Awwh yay! :) Im glad, cos I liked Siobhan! x

I like Simona, shes so cute with her accent!

[*LilMissClaraHolic*]

I loved Siobhan :D

the judges shouldn't have chosen Simona. Shes not right for the part, and she can't lose her accent.

[-x-Soph-x-]

I think she's good! But then I thought Bryony was good too - and Lucy those two I really wanted to get into the Final 10!

[*LilMissClaraHolic*]

Briony was adorable lol.

[Scott_lee's_Rock]

if rumours are true about this show...the winner is only peforming 3 shows a week - webber has already picked a professtional to do the other 5 shows

[Torialou]

I still agree with the peeps on whats on stage ha ha Lorna would have been good

[Scott_lee's_Rock]

yeah Lorna would have been fantastic

[-x-Soph-x-]

if rumours are true about this show...the winner is only peforming 3 shows a week - webber has already picked a professtional to do the other 5 shows

And I bet all the top dogs of the theatre world come on the day the professional is starring!

[Scott_lee's_Rock]

well yeah - must people want to see the professtionals!
I wouldn't want to pay 55 pounds a ticket to see someone that only got the lead part due to a TV show

[Torialou]

no I guess we wouldnt - maybe if the other people in it were big though

[-x-Soph-x-]

also to save the face of andrew just incase the maria is an absoloute nighmare n a flop!

[Scott_lee's_Rock]

How many of webbers shows have been a flop anyway!

whether or not he has a professtional in the role or some random from a tv show isnt going to save his face if it flops...

if it is going to flop it is going to flop!

[*LilMissClaraHolic*]

I like Siobhan - http://www.bbc.co.uk/maria/images/173/siobhan01.jpg
Connie - http://www.bbc.co.uk/maria/images/173/connie01.jpg
and Leanne - http://www.bbc.co.uk/maria/images/173/leanne01.jpg

[-x-Soph-x-]

Yeah Siobhan's nice!

Lol I meant the role of Maria - just incase it didnt work!

[Scott_lee's_Rock]

yeah but even that...if webber didnt think it would work he wouldnt have done it

[-x-Soph-x-]

I met his bro actually, he played sum cello at our school & everyone had to put questions forward to him...I wanted to ask "Posh n becks have stayed at ur bro's house, have u ever met then and what are they like" but compare to questions like "how old were u when u first started playing" - It seemed rather odd although one girl asked if he had ever hit anyone with his cello!

[*LilMissClaraHolic*]

Awww Laura went :( I think Helena should have gone

[*LilMissClaraHolic*]

I'm glad Belinda has gone. I don't like opera. I really like Aoife and Siobhan, so i'm glad they're still in

[*LilMissClaraHolic*]

Siobhan and Aoife blew me away tonight. Andrew made the right choice by sending Simona home

[-x-Soph-x-]

I want Siobhan to get it in the end cos shes really good and think she'd be a good Maria..I did quite like Simona @ the beginning, but now I think she's not quite right for the role x

[*LilMissClaraHolic*]

Aoife was fab.

Connie is too full of herself, I don't like her, Abi isn't that great either.

[-x-Soph-x-]

Im not that keen on Helena actually, i think she may go next x

[*LilMissClaraHolic*]

yeah, I don't like her facial expressions when she sings

[-x-Soph-x-]

Helena shoudlve gone! Leanne was a much better singer and she has a bonny face and looks cute, She looks like Betty from Flinstones! How old is she cos Andrew said she was very young? x x

[*LilMissClaraHolic*]

shes 20 i think. Shes too young to be Maria

[-x-Soph-x-]

Yeah perhaps she is although she has a nicer face and looks more the role than Helena and she sung better, even if she did go wrong..

Still backing Siobhan though, she was excellent and she is soo pretty! x x

[*LilMissClaraHolic*]

Siobhan is gorgeous isn't she? I'm so envious lol

[-x-Soph-x-]

Her haiirr I want it!

[*LilMissClaraHolic*]

i'm so glad Andrew saved Aoife. i hope she doesn't go later on.

[*LilMissClaraHolic*]

I'm in tears here. I can't believe Aoife as gone. Siobhan and her were my faves so I couldn't believe it when they were both in the sing off.

[-x-Soph-x-]

Aoife was amazing, She has a gorgeous voice and she sings like Faye.. I think she is so pretty and lovely, and thought she had a nicer voice than Siobhan - Im glad the girl in Blue went, I just wish Helena would go cos I really can't stand her!

[*LilMissClaraHolic*]

Helena stole Aoife's place in the final :( Aoife had an amazing voice and shes much more likeable than Connie and Helena

[-x-Soph-x-]

Exactly, I dont even like Connie that much either, Helena is no Maria...Im sorry but Aoife was an amazing singer, and I think she will be succesful anyway in the industry, i think she'll get snapped up x x

[*LilMissClaraHolic*]

Aoife looked like a Maria. Connie is too OTT and wants it FAR too much. I can't stand Helena's facial expressions.

[-x-Soph-x-]

Helena's just not a pretty girl, She is totally wrong looks wise x

[*LilMissClaraHolic*]

Yeah I agree, She sang really well on saturday though. Not right for the part of maria though

[-x-Soph-x-]

Yeah exactly, whereas Aoife could've been - She more of a maria.

want Siobhan to get it now, But aoife was different, Siobhan is typical, nice voice, pretty and the usual that get everything x

[*LilMissClaraHolic*]

I totally agree. Aoife was perfect for the part. i'm gutted shes gone.

Siobhan has to win now

[-x-Soph-x-]

Just as long as Helena doesnt get anywhere near the titel role then ill be happy - Would u see the show?x

[*LilMissClaraHolic*]

Well I would have if Aoife was still in it. Don't know now. If Siobhan does I might. I definitely won't if Helena or Connie win. Plus, the professional person might be on the day you go. You can't be sure.

[-x-Soph-x-]

Yeah I know cos they aren't doing the full week - I just think Andrew made totally the wrong decision on Saturday - But oh well - There's not much we can do really is there x

[*LilMissClaraHolic*]

Nope lol. I really wish he hadn't got rid of Aoife though. If Siobhan wins though, people might say its a fix because they made her into like a story from day one. The 'Golden girl'

[-x-Soph-x-]

Yeah exactly, the predictable one like Pete from BB, If Siobhan does a crap performance tonite tho we'll know x

[*LilMissClaraHolic*]

Yeah we will. I still hope she wins though. I'll be really surprised if Helena wins tonight.

[*LilMissClaraHolic*]

I'm gutted Siobhans out.

HELENA TO WIN!!!!!!!!

Don't let Connie win!!

[*LilMissClaraHolic*]

i'm gutted Connie has won :( .

[avs]

Why??? I thought Connie was fab,she was my fav to win from the start,so well done her :)

[*LilMissClaraHolic*]

I wanted Aoife to win at the start. But I wanted helena to win tonight :(

[-x-Soph-x-]

Yeah at the end of the show and although Helena isnt a good Maria looks wise, She honestly has got a fantastic voice - And Connie's SHOUT performance was just..It was crazy!

[cowells diva]

i wanted siobhan to win :0(

[-x-Soph-x-]

I wanted Aoife but if I had to choose the girls from the final I wouldve gone with Helena..x

[*LilMissClaraHolic*]

Is anyone planning on going to see Connie?

i'm not :p

[-x-Soph-x-]

NO! Lol I wish ehr all the best but i think the public made the wrong choice x

[*LilMissClaraHolic*]

I agree there Soph. :)

[-x-Soph-x-]

The professional who was to play Maria has quit the show so now Connie will be doing all eight shows a week. x

[*LilMissClaraHolic*]

Will she? I'm still not going though lol

[Scott_lee's_Rock]

the only reason she quit was cos she was only doing 2 shows a week....after being cut down form 4...
And i aint surprised she has quit - good on her!
