Feb 20, 2012 - I love taylora music but Taylor swift would have ruined les mis for me. Her voice isn't strong enough. Samantha is perfect for eponnie I can't wait for thus movie

Mar 4, 2012 - I must say, I was extremely relieved when I found out Samantha Barks was playing Eponine and not Taylor Swift. I like Taylor, but I just don't think her voice is right for this, plus she doesn't have that much acting experience

Mar 10, 2012 - Samantha Barks is AMAZING!! Perfect choice to play that part, they couldn't of picked a better person. They picked the best cast that they could, Alfie Boe would of been good but so will Hugh Jackman.

Mar 13, 2012 - I'm guessing you haven't seen videos of Samantha playing Eponine before if you think that Taylor would be better for the role..Sam is incredible..in my opinion, Taylor's voice could not live up to this role.

Mar 13, 2012 - Taylor Swift turned it down did she? Seems likely. HAHAHAH

Mar 24, 2012 - Haha I didn't read the whole of this and I thought it said "Nick Jonas' Ex-Girlfriend Beats Taylor Swift" silly me;)

Mar 25, 2012 - Lol lady, it was Oliver. anyways. I'm still relived. Though I hate the only way they can describe Samantha is as Nick Jonas's ex. That IS no way to describe her amazingness and how much she rightly deserves the role. thank god for Sam. She is heaven blest for the Mizzies.

May 21, 2012 - I love how Samantha was just a normal teenager before she was on I'd Do Anything! She was my role model then and still is now. Love her, and so glad she got this part:')<3

May 23, 2012 - I love how people are like "Taylor was perfect for this role though!!" loll you guys obv don't know anything about musical theater, Samantha barks is perfect!

Amy Yeo Says:

May 25, 2012 - She is NOT 'Nick's ex-girlfriend' she is SAMANTHA BARKS! Who sort of happens to the best eponine ever! I don't hate Taylor Swift, I have her albums and stuff, but she isn't musical theatre, and Eponine is such a deep role, and Samantha Barks has so much experience of it they couldn't have picked a better person! She deserves this so so so much and as jealous as I am because I think eponine is one of the most perfect characters ever I think she is the best casting choice this film has made! xx

May 30, 2012 - I am so happy that she will play the role Taylor swift I a very good singer but I do not think she can take on the role like such a talented person like Samantha can plus she Is very familiar to the role I LOVE YOU SAMANTHA
