For IMDb staff only! Kathe Green sang all the songs for the lead role in Oliver! (1968). I just submitted her name for the cast list for the THIRD time (141231-150024-648000). You ignored my first (141203-154012-185000) and second (141217-113700-384000) submissions! Why?

I formatted it correctly. I named the role (Oliver) &, in the attribute field, said (singing voice) (uncredited). That's how IMDb gave cast credit for the singers who sang the songs for the two lead roles in West Side Story (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055614/fullcredits, see Jimmy Bryant & Marni Nixon, alphabetically). It's also how IMDb credited the singer who sang the song for the supporting character Freddy Eynsford-Hill in My Fair Lady (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058385/fullcredits, see Bill Shirley, alphabetically). Why have you denied cast credit to Kathe Green for singing the lead role's songs in Oliver?

On Kathe Green's name page (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0338042/), she got soundtrack credit for singing all Oliver's songs. This is confirmed on Oliver's trivia page (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063385/trivia) and in the trivia on her father's name page (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0338004/bio?ref_=nm_dyk_trv_sm#trivia).

On Oliver's "other crew" list (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063385/fullcredits), Kathe Green is credited as actor Mark Lester's singing double. That's NOT where her credit belongs! Singing a lead actor's songs is half that actor's performance. It should be in the CAST LIST, not in the "other crew" list!

Please give Kathe Green cast credit for singing the lead role's songs in Oliver!
