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.
The kind people over at andrewlloydwebber.com have provided us with Sir Andrew’s latest ‘I’d Do Anything’ video blog .
Sir Andrew admits that he doesn’t know why the public aren’t voting for Keisha (because she’s obnoxious that’s why!) and that he thinks his Nancies could rival Girls Aloud.
We reported just a few weeks ago that Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber would be guest starring on an upcoming American Idol show in the US. Well the show goes out this week and his involvement in it means that Sir Andrew won’t be in the I’d Do Anything studios this Saturday nihgt.
Fear not though, all you Lloyd Webber fans can still get your weekly fix as the master will be there via a satellite link up.

Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber has been speaking out in his weekly video blog over on andrewlloydwebber.com and he is boasting about the talent of his Nancies once more.
The musical genius is sure that his girls are way more talented than girls groups like Girls Aloud. he commented:
“You could put out of this show a girl band that would knock Girls Aloud and the memory of any those other girl bands right out of the window. Read more & comment »
Tara’s dream is over as she becomes the third contestant to be eliminated from BBC One’s I’d Do Anything.
After a public vote Keisha and Tara were the least popular Nancy’s and Andrew Lloyd Webber decided to save Keisha. So Tara is the third Nancy to leave the competition.
In Saturday’s live show, all ten remaining Nancy finalists performed solo renditions of songs from musicals chosen to show viewers that they have the skill and sheer charisma to carry one of the most challenging roles in musical theatre.
After performing their songs and receiving feedback from Andrew Lloyd Webber and the expert panel of John Barrowman, Denise Van Outen and Barry Humphries, the Nancy’s faced a nervous wait for viewers to cast their votes. Read more & comment »
The third prospective Oliver to secure a place in the semi-final was announced yesterday (Saturday 12 April), on BBC One’s I’d Do Anything.
He is 10-year-old Arthur from Bristol.
Already through to the semi-final are 11-year-old Gwion from Carmarthenshire and 12-year-old Chester from Middlesex.
All 12 boys sang Teamwork from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in last night’s show; previously they had been monitored and mentored in an on-going process during which both Andrew Lloyd Webber and Cameron Mackintosh continue to assess their individual progress. Read more & comment »
Aarrgh!!! I’d Do Anything and Britain’s Got Talent running at exactly the same time. Bloody scheduling madness, I tell you!
I made the difficult choice to watch Britain’s Got Talent right now and maybe I’d Do Anything later (thanks Sky+). Anyway, all the chatter’s going on in the forum right now, so join the Britain’s Got Talent buzz here.
And check out our I’d Do Anything forum for all the discussions going on in there! I’ll maybe drop some thoughts here later on in a new post.
The first episode of Pushing Daisies airs tonight after Britain’s Got Talent - if you’re watching it, we have a discussion thread live on the forum. I’ll be dropping my thoughts on the first episode as it happens. Join me at 9:00pm.
I’d Do Anything judge, John Barrowman has admitted to getting regular botox injections in order to keep his youthful looks.
The star of BBC’s Torchwood told new! magazine: I don’t swear by it (botox), but I think it’s quite good. The key is to not do the forehead. Men need forehead lines and doing the forehead makes you look like Nicole Kidman!
“If you’re going to do anything, just do it round the eyes, that’s all men need.”
On I’d Do Anything this weekend, Chester became the second boy to get put through to the shows semi finals.
I thought he was just gorgeous as he led the boys in song last night!
As you will all know by now, Cleo became the second Nancy to leave BBC’s I’d Do Anything on Sunday night, but did she deserve to go?
You can watch the clip below and judge for yourself, but I feel that Andrew Lloyd Webber made the right call.
Cleopatra’s dream is over as she becomes the second contestant to be eliminated from BBC One’s I’d Do Anything.

I’d Do Anything judge, John Barrowman has hit out at actor Kevin Spacey who last week criticised the show.
When asked to comment on Spacey’s remarks John told Capital Radio in true Barrowman style: “You know what, shut up! It’s promoting theatre. Maybe he’s a bit upset because his plays just aren’t hits.”
The kind folks over at Andrewlloydwebber.com have provided us with Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber’s first ‘I’d Do Anything’ video blog.
In it Sir Andrew talks about the difficult task of choosing between Francesca and Amy on Sunday night, and why he thinks the public vote will be hard to predict this year.
Is it just me, or does everyone else just want to pinch Andrews chubby cheeks when he talks so earnestly!
Graham Norton hit the nail on the head when he said the birth rate would soar during this series. Just watching these littleun’s singing makes me broody!
Little Gwion is beyond cute and so amazingly talented for a boy so young. But can we have a Welsh Oliver? What do you think?
