Will Fat Thor Jesus pack enough Frizz Ease to get through in Minorca?
Will Zoolander Jesus follow his reflection into the sea and drown?
Will Gobby G4 Jesus swim out from the mainland in desperation?

3 was Beiber Jesus but now he's had his hair done and looks more like Jim Carey Jesus!
Dirk is Boyband Jesus.

SuePurblybilt · 15/07/2012 15:03

RightO

  1. Him with the hat - Which Jesus? 2)Fat Thor Jesus (Nathan)
  2. Bieber Jesus (David) 4)Mackem Jesus (Ben)
  3. Glasses/No Glasses Jesus (Tim)
  4. Simba Jesus (Roger)
  5. Oirish Jesus (Niall)
  6. Jesus Jesus (Jeff)
  7. Boyband Jesus(Dirk)
  8. TBA Jesus (Afnan)

So no1 must be Forgettable Jesus and we still cannot decide what manner of Jesus Afnan is.

Sorted?

great
until we watch the program and they look different again Grin

Raahh · 15/07/2012 15:40

I'm finally getting to watch this- Jason Donovan is really annoying me, and I don't know why.

I'm trying to keep up with the nicknames. I am failing. Some really odd looking blokes in this.

I am missing Graham Norton a littleSad.

Lloyd Webber is looking evedn more Gollum like than I thought was possibleGrin

IAmSherlocked · 15/07/2012 15:43

I miss Graham a lot. I also miss John Barrowman. I hate the adverts on ITV. I just miss the quality of a BBC programme compared to the X-Factor-style factory production line that ITV manage to turn it into.

Sparklingbrook · 15/07/2012 15:45

I have to agree with you IAm, it has gone all 'downmarket'. When is Dawn French appearing? She might sort it out.

iklboo · 15/07/2012 15:46

The final is on a chuffing WEDNESDAY according to schedules. Wednesday?! I can't have a proper drinkypoo on a school night!

Raahh · 15/07/2012 15:46

I've got to the bit where the one who looks like Toby Anstis is screaming. Dh thinks I have let dd1 have her (confiscated) recorder back.

And why did Tim audition for a role that scarred him for life the first time?

He looks lik a vicar i used to know...

Raahh · 15/07/2012 15:47

Remember when ITV did the Grease one? That weas shit in comparison with the Beeb productions- even involving ALW in this isn't helping....

I'm even missing Jodie Prender
Grin

SuePurblybilt · 15/07/2012 15:49

Dawn is tonight.

ITV have made it all crappy, agreed. The BBC version was much better.
I never saw the Grease one, was that around Joseph time?

Raahh · 15/07/2012 15:50

I should love this. So many beards.
How did some of them get through? They are soooo not JesusGrin

Sparklingbrook · 15/07/2012 15:51

Looking forward to Dawn. Smile Jason and Mel C are grating my carrot a bit now.

SuePurblybilt · 15/07/2012 15:52

It would have been so gloriously camp done on the BBC. Lots of Jesus jokes and sniggering. Loads of weeping and skipping on in coloured loincloths.

I weep for what could have been.

OP posts:
Raahh · 15/07/2012 15:52

It was after Maria, I think- as one of the ones who didn't win that finally ended up in 'Grease' Could be wrong though. It was really poor- I didn't watch too many of them!

Raahh · 15/07/2012 15:53

They really have missed a trick or 3.
Reserve Jesus has funny eyes.

SuePurblybilt · 15/07/2012 15:55

Eyes? He looks like Spike Milligan in 1940. Wearing his nan's cardigan.

OP posts:
Raahh · 15/07/2012 15:56

I get the impression ALW doesn't really care who winsGrin. In fact, he always looks like he wants to be somewhere elseGrin

SuePurblybilt · 15/07/2012 15:57

Until one of the boys gets flirty. Then he perks up.

OP posts:
Raahh · 15/07/2012 15:57

He does look like Spike- very dubious clothing choices all around, I thought. Some very tight trews (maybe to help with the high bits)

CJCregg · 15/07/2012 16:04

Oh, oh, oh ... I have only just found this thread. My life is now complete.

I am also lamenting (proper rent garments, an' all) the move from the BBC and the absence of Graham Norton. What a waste. Just think what fun GN would have with 'The Lord' and the Jesus jokes.

As far as the boys go, frankly I don't think any of them could be Jesus. It's not enough to grow your hair and a beard, it just isn't. Him-with-the-hat Jesus reminds me of a young George Michael, but without the little charisma that George has. No-Name Jesus is really, really unattractive - that's all I have to say about him.

I want to see Tim take his top off, just so his girlfriend gets another cop.

Sparklingbrook · 15/07/2012 16:06

I really want to like one of them more than the others, but I'm just not feeling it, and I am really trying to. Sad

CJCregg · 15/07/2012 16:15

I know, Sparkling - that's how I feel Sad. Mind you, with Melanie C as Mary Magdalene, I wasn't going to get too excited about this show in the first place tries not to think about Chris Moyles

Raahh · 15/07/2012 16:21

I wanted to watch this cos of Tim Minchin- where is he anyway??Sad

Raahh · 15/07/2012 16:22

My other problem is, I keep singing songs from 'Joseph' in my head...

Sparklingbrook · 15/07/2012 16:23

Do we know any 'Superstar' songs?
