BILLY FLYNN!! i can't believe it, this man has no sex appeal whatsoever, i could imagine him as an Amos, but not Billy. I'm not saying Billy should be young, but he should have a presence and something about him that appeals to men and women alike, a sexual energy. All these i definitely don't associate with Jimmy Osmond! Emma I'm not bothered about, she can act, and has a good singing voice, I'm sure she'll be fine.
