Jellyn's Collection of Curiosities

The winner of I'd Do Anything, the show in which Andrew Lloyd Webber and Captain Jack seek the audience vote to cast Nancy in the musical Oliver, will be: Jodie

Reason #1: The first two people who sing in the first live show are the ones that the panel currently thinks are the strongest, because they want to get the first show off to a roaring start. Those first two people were: Jessie and Jodie

Reason #2: Red is a power color and on the Webber reality shows, similar colors to red do well as well. So for this red, orange, yellow, pink, and just anything on that end of the spectrum should give that Nancy a leg up. I'm also tossing in the purples, for their red-ness, but also because it conveys passion. They are:

Niamh - Dark pink.
Tara - Tangerine.
Francesca - Light pink.
Keisha - Yellow.
Rachel - Darker yellow.
Jodie - Mauve.
Cleo - Violet.

Reason #3: In order to get audience votes, you have to have a 'hook'. It doesn't matter if you're the underdog, if you have an amazing survivor story, or you always always always wanted to play Nancy, just so long as it's something memorable. You can't get votes if the audience can't remember you. Related to this is if you look different from the others. If there's three white brunettes and you're one of them, better do something quick. So for this one, here's who's memorable:

Niamh - For her unusual name and slightly unusual look. I had no idea Niamh was pronounced that way. And they equated her to Wednesday Addams.

Cleo - Also, for the unusual name of Cleopatra. Who wouldn't vote for Cleopatra? She's black as well, though surprisingly not the only black Nancy.

Keisha - Also black, but it's probably not enough of a hook by itself.

Jodie - She was on Biggest Loser and she's very expressively emotional when she's not in character.

Ashley - Redhead.

Jessie - Really curly hair.

The finalists will be: Niamh, Jodie, Jessie, Cleo

It's almost cheating to name an alternate, but I'm going to anyway. Niamh.
