Andrew Lloyd Webber - Lloyd Webber Votes To Eliminate Rachel From Id Do Anything

Rachel Tucker has become the latest contestant to be eliminated from the BBC One show I'd Do Anything.

The 26-year-old received the fewest number of public votes along with 17-year-old Samantha Barks after their performances on Saturday.

Rachel becomes the ninth Nancy hopeful to leave the competition and leaves Samantha, Jessie Buckley, Jodie Prenger as the final three for next week's final.

After receiving the fewest number of votes, Rachel and Samantha had to sing a rendition of Memory from Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical Cats.

And the competition judge eventually decided to come down on the side of Samantha describing her as "fantastic".

"It's an impossible choice", Lloyd Webber declared. "On the one hand Samantha you're fabulous you've got everything ahead of you, Rachel you did a wonderful performance last night of Cabaret and I really don't know what to say.

"But I've got to make a decision and I've got to think of where the show ultimately for Cameron [Mackintosh] is going to go and I think I have to go with you Samantha.

"And it was a fantastic performance tonight, I just know you've got this huge career ahead of you and also I have a sneaking suspicion you'll play Nancy. One day. You were fantastic."

On receiving her marching orders, Rachel claimed that she was "devastated" not to have made the final but described her time on the BBC show as the "most unbelievable experience of a lifetime".

Christopher Cross was far and away the biggest new star of 1980, most shaping grownup contemporaneous wireless with a series of smoothly sophisticated ballads including the chart-topping "Navigation"; seemingly as quick as he scene to celebrity, yet, his star descended, although he continued recording and touring for days to come. Born Christopher Geppert in San Antonio, TX on May 3, 1951, Cross number one surfaced in the Austin-based cover band Flash before signing a solo condense with Warner Bros. in the autumn of 1978. His self-titled debut LP appeared deuce long time afterwards, with the jumper cable individual "Ride Like the Wind" rocketing to the act two spot; the massive success of the moment single "Sailing" made Cross a superstar, and in the wake of deuce more Top 20 hits, "Ne'er Be the Same" and "Say You'll Be Mine," he walked off with a record-setting five Grammys in 1981, including Best New Artist and Song of the Year for "Navigation." He before long scored a arcsecond number one as well as an Academy Award with "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)," which he co-wrote with Burt Bacharach, Carole Bayer Sager, and Peter Allen for the blast Dudley Moore motion picture clowning Arthur. Cross' much-anticipated soph travail Another Page arrived in 1983, merely leave off for the Top Ten entry "Think of Laura" (popularized through its constant presence on the day max phenomenon General Hospital), the record album failed to repeat the achiever of its predecessor, and pretty surprisingly, he ne'er returned to the Top 40 over again. Every Turn of the World appeared to little notice in 1985, and when 1988's Back of My Mind failed to chart altogether, Cross was dropped by Warner. His next album, Rendezvous, did not appear until five-spot age later on BMG.

Bald-headed Da Hool (real name Frank Tomiczek) was a child of the exploding German golf-club shot of the former '80s. Born and raised in the largely working-class town of Bottrop, it was here where he first wowed the crowds with his skills behind the turntables. By 1990, he was already being touted as one and only of the nation's finest hands on the decks and, that same year, moved into production. His early workings, released under the sobriquet DJ Hooligan, included the pop nightspot book of Numbers "B.O.T.T.R.O.P." and "It's a Dream Song," and the dance charts victor "Rave Nation." In 1996, he launched his have label, B-sides, and changed his name to Da Hool. That same year, he released the infective spout single "Meet Her at the Love Parade." However, it was not until a year afterward, when the tune was re-released on Germany's fabled Kosmo Records label (responsible for such acts as Novy vs Eniac), that it became a graph topper. It sold more than 6,000,000 copies around the ball. Soon after came Da Hool's next offering, some other spout single highborn "Bora Bora"; named after a beach on the Spanish party island of Ibiza, the track was a pop nightspot tune in many countries and a make on the German charts. In 1999, he released his low gear LP, the ably titled Here Comes Da Hool.
