You have an outsize talent, and a very strong voice. I look forward to the day I can guest star with you on the West End stage!” and Webber said, “that was a very, very, very good performance. You absolutely deserve to be in the final.” Barrowman said, “every song she sings, you believe the words. Of her performance of “Son of a Preacher Man”, Mackintosh said: “Jodie has convinced me that she could make a Nancy. She also performed “I’d Do Anything” with all the Nancy and Oliver finalists “Son of a Preacher Man” “Getting to Know You” from the musical The King and I with Laurence “Maybe This Time” from the film Cabaret with Jessie Buckley and Samantha Barks as well as also singing “As Long as he Needs Me” and “I Have Nothing” from A Star Is Born before the final vote. She has experience as well.” In the final, on 31 May, Prenger performed a total number of seven songs including her performance of “As Long as He Needs Me” after she was announced as winner. She has got a lovely voice and a super personality. However, Webber defended Prenger, saying that she had both the vocal talents and personality for the role, saying “Jodie could be anybody’s idea of Nancy – I can see it absolutely. On 30 May, Webber revealed that theatrical producer Cameron Mackintosh, who produced the show in the West End, and joined the panel in week nine, was concerned about her curvaceous figure saying, “Cameron thinks she is a bit too big and has more or less said so”. Prenger posed in a wedding dress to recreate the cover of the album Like a Virgin. In the week leading up to the final in week ten, the Nancy finalists posed for publicity pictures recreating some of Madonna’s iconic images. A beautiful performance and a fine actress.” Head judge Andrew Lloyd Webber said that Jodie could “absolutely play this role.” In week five Humphries said that Prenger was “destined for the West End”, and in week eight Barrowman labelled Prenger his “perfect Nancy”. Barry Humphries, another panellist, who had played Fagin in the original Lionel Bart stage production, said “You’ve got that toughness and also a tenderness.
Panelist John Barrowman said, “I love you to death, you connected with everyone and told the story – that’s making a good Nancy!” while Denise Van Outen, another panellist, commented that “Nancy needs to have a lot of life experience and I see that coming through in your performance. After her performance of “Chasing Pavements” in the first live show of the series, Prenger was the joint favourite to win.
