Music moghul, Andrew Lloyd Webber, is jetting back to the States next week for the grand finale of American Idol.
Andrew mentored on the show just a few weeks ago and was a masive hit, drawing 24 million viewers.
He will be back in time for Saturdays I’d Do Anything show on BBC One, and is also said to be in talks with Simon Cowell about a joint reality TV collaboration.
I thought she was never going to go! But tonight Scottish Ashley was booted off I’d Do Anything on BBC One.
Ashley has faced harsh criticism from Andrew Lloyd Webber for weeks now, and I was surprised she lasted this far.
I like Ashley’s voice, and don’t think she is as awful as the Lord implied. However, listening to her ‘Don’t Cry For Me Argentina’ with Niamh tonight I realised that Niamh’s voice stood out and had a very unique quality. Ashley could have been anybody, Continue reading ‘Ashley Russell Leaves I’d Do Anything‘ »
I’d Do Anything judge, Denise Van Outen has surprisingly tipped Ashley Russell as a real contender for the role of Nancy.
“Ashley will be in the final. She’s really good and deserves to go all the way,” Denise told the Daily Record. “She looks right for the role and we’re looking for someone who has a strong character.”
She added: “Ashley would work very well for the male viewers. I love her hair and she’s really good at being real when she’s performing. I hope she holds on to that.” Continue reading ‘Denise Van Outen Tips Ashley Russell As Nancy‘ »
The fifth prospective Oliver to secure a place in the semi-final was announced today (Saturday 26 April) on BBC One’s I’d Do Anything.
He is 11-year-old Alexander from London.
Apart from becoming Oliver, Alex would like to be a barrister because he’s interested in law. He’s also a Bon Jovi fan.
Alex would love to act as Oliver opposite Robbie Williams playing Fagin.
Already through to the semi-final are 11-year-old Gwion from Carmarthenshire; 12-year-old Chester from Middlesex; 10-year-old Arthur from Bristol; and 13-year-old Kwayedza from Kent. Continue reading ‘I’d Do Anything: Alexander through to Semi Final!‘ »
Anyone watching the I’d Do Anything results show last night couldn’t have missed Sir Andrew Lloyd Webbers furious departure from set before the show ended.
Sir Andrew was forced to choose between Niamh Perry and Keisha Amponsa-Banson after the sing off and rightly chose to save Niamh.
But Andrew snapped: “This is a complete and utter travesty. Neither of you should be in the bottom two, it’s completely wrong.
“I’ve been put into a situation that I have never wanted to be in.
“For the first time on a television show, I am angry.”
I don’t know why Lloyd Webber is so upset. He may have liked Keisha, but this was her third time in the bottom two and if she can’t connect with an audience then how good would she be on a West End stage? Continue reading ‘Andrew Lloyd Webber FURIOUS At Keisha’s Departure‘ »
Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber missed the I’d Do Anything live show last week as he was in Las Vegas mentoring the contestants from American Idol.
Lloyd Webber described the experience as “bizarre” but thinks he may have found the American Nancy!
Webber said: “I had a great time on American Idol. It was a wonderful, highly theatrical and somewhat bizarre evening.
“If ever Cameron Mackintosh brings Oliver! to Broadway there was a girl who would be one of the greatest Nancys ever.”
Commenting on the contestants performances, Webber said: Continue reading ‘American Idol: Andrew Lloyd Webber Finds American Nancy!‘ »
The kind folks over at andrewlloydwebber.com have provided us with Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber’s latest video blog.
Sir Andrew chats to us from The Phantom theatre in Las Vegas, which I have to say looks like the most amazing theatre in the world. I had no idea that one had been purpose built just to suit that production.
Andrew talks about his stint on American Idol as well as last week’s I’d Do Anything show.
You’ve just gotta love those Elvis glasses!
So last night we said goodbye to Francesca from BBC reality TV show, I’d Do Anything.
What do you think of Sir Andrew’s decision? Personally faced with the choice between Francesca and Ashely, I would have sent Ashley home. I thought her performance on Saturday night was forced and a bit pitchy. Andrew didn’t enjoy it on the night and he should have stuck with his instincts.
When I read that Patsy Palmer wanted to play the role of Nancy in the West End version of Oliver, I was sceptical to say the least. But I got my hands on this clip where, granted, she only sings a few lines of ‘As Long As He Needs Me’, she sounded great to me. And she has the accent down as well……maybe she should have entered I’d Do Anything. She would have been better that Keisha!
I’d Do Anything contestant, Niamh Perry, was once so self concious about her acne that she feared leaving the house.
“She became very self-conscious. She always had so much talent at music and drama,” a friend told The Mirror. “Everybody knew she was destined to be a star. But it was never going to happen while she had such bad skin.”
However Niamh consulted specialist dermatologists and was put on strong antibiotics and cream, after which her skin gradually improved.
