It's weird that they said Samantha didn't move them, but when she was Eponine in the Les Mis film, I cried my eyes out at her performance! I'm sure others did as well!
Well I think all doubt is gone out of everyone's mind that she can give a moving performance. Just listen to her sing "On My Own" and try not to bawl. Gosh I love her so much!! She seems like the sweetest, most humble girl and I'm so happy with how far her career has come in such a short amount of time!
I absolutely adore Sam :) It's so amazing that she went from a girl who didn't know how to connect a character to an audience to Eponine in the worldwide classic, Les Mis. She is my inspiration :)
It's hard to be emotionally there when you're singing something you don't believe in or connect with. Les Mis is really really easy to become emotionally attached to.
"When shes given something really emotional and simple, its very difficult for her." Well take a look at what Sammy can do now, and that statement is completely false :)
