Here's a thought - if you were Cameron Mackintosh, surely you wouldn't really want one of the Irish girls to win. If this is a show about who will pull in the largest crowds, don't you want the winner to be someone whose voters will actually come to see her in the West End? Which must be harder if she's from Ireland than from, say, Blackpool...

That has to be one of the most stupid things i've ever read.....We can't vote from Ireland.....NO ONE from Jessies home town can vote....no one from Southern Ireland can vote....so it would appear that Jessie (at least) is being kept in because people in the UK like her, and therefore will travel to see her.....No only that but if she does win, there will be planeloads from Ireland travelling too. And I can see why....Take it from someone who has seen her perform....she is a very special talent....even if she doesn't win, this is only the start for her.
