Poll Result: Best Performance Of A Song In A Musical - Top 3!

Below are the top 3 winners from our 'Best Performance Of A Song In A Musical' poll...

3rd Place 
Oliver Tompsett 
I Wanna Rock
Rock Of Ages
Votes - 70 - 14%
Just when you think Oliver Tompsett's voice can't get any stronger, or go any higher... it does! He is an incredible talent, one of the best the West End has to offer! For a lot of this week he was in 2nd place, and then had a little war with Lauren Samuels before settling for 3rd place. I can't wait to see what he does after Rock Of Ages... pretty much anything he wants to I guess!

2nd Place 
Lauren Samuels 
Somebody To Love
We Will Rock You
Votes - 81 - 16%
Lauren Samuels is one of the most beautiful performers I have ever seen on stage. She has great attention to detail and puts her all into every little tiny note she sings. Already in her short career she has shown she is not type cast and I can't wait to see what other roles she plays in the future **cough cough Wicked & Les Mis**. 

I would also like to thank Lauren for the support she has shows us over last week with her tweets, re-tweets & mentions. It is much appreciated Lauren!


1st Place 
Rachel Tucker 
Defying Gravity
Wicked
Votes - 231 - 45%
So I think it's official... Rachel Tucker is the Queen of the West End! Rachel is the most consistent and passionate performers I have ever seen. Also Defying Gravity is by far the best song in any musical ever. Rachel adds such depth to the song and I like the way every time I see her perform it, I will notice something slightly different. You never see the same thing twice with Rachel and I look forward to seeing her as I know I will always see a flaw lace performance. While I never want Rachel to leave Wicked I do look forward to seeing what she does next. Wicked is only her 2nd West End Show. I would love to see her do a one off concert one time as well so she can show off her voice in different songs.

It also has to be said Rachel has the most amazing fans, led by @TeamTucker1 on twitter who I would like to thank for being supportive of the blog throughout the last week.

Finally a massive thank you to everyone who has voted in the poll and who has reading the blog. It is amazing to know I have people reading the blog, it makes it all worth while! Also keep your eyes pealed on the blog and twitter (@WestEndFrame) as I will be launching another poll soon!

Thank you!!
....and breathe
