Joseph thread - is there one yet ? if not....

[binker]

Can I say that I like Chris B - not the one who was ousted last night...

binkleandflip - I saw Joseph recently and we had the understudy (should have been H from Steps) and he was fantastic.

I'm still gunning for Lee - I think Keith is really unattractive and too young to be Joseph (although we have the DVD with Donny Osmond who must have been 40 when he did it and he was brilliant )

My favourite is Lee as he looks like dp ... and he is very good.

Daniel reminds me of the girl that won maria.

Twinsetandpearls, lucky you having a dp who looks like Lee.
Wish mine did

We have the Donny Osmond version too - he looks great in a loincloth, no? Who cares how old he was, he was brilliant.

I made him cut his cyrls off when we started dating but he is growing them back now!

I think we only see a fraction of the whole process on Saturdays. The panel and ALW are basing their decisions on all the information they have from the week and steering the public based on that.

The best thing about Saturday was Lewis realising that the public don't like him that much for some reason (because he looks like a freak?) and that Craig may go further.

Can't bear that head toss thing that Craig does though. Eugh. Sooo cheesy!

I think it is a shame we have no access to their development and training during the week . That was what made Fame Academy distinct from Pop Idol whereas I'm not seeing as much between Maria/Joseph and Grease. Presumably they have coaching on all sorts of aspects of musical , not just singing , and I wonder how much of a Saturday performance is based upon their input and how much is dictated.

and is it just me or would anyone else like to see them do more stuff from other musicals. The rock & roll stuff is all well and good but at the end of the day that's not what they'll be singing!

I totally agree i want to see more of the acting (and presumably dancing!). Maybe they're hoping to get rid of rest of the rubbish singers first before showing us the other stuff? Craig has to go - that licking his lips thing was making me feel physically sick. Lee is good but needs to lighten up! I like Daniel and, I know i'm in a minority, but Lewis and Ben too - I can totally picture them as Joseph.

snogging John Barrowman!
soooooo uncomforatble!!

also found this ....gives me goosebumps!

Wow, now I want to snog John Barrowman!!!

Cor, loved that clip with JB snogging, though what on earth was that woman doing resisting him? Bet she regrets that! Not so sure about the Have you met Miss Jones song. Definitely missed that episode.

A true test of acting would have been snogging ALW, surely?

The boys aren't going to have to snog Denise VO are they? I will have to kill her if she gets her smutty paws on Lee

Be more interesting if the boys had to snog JB !!

Thank you for the link purplemonkey - wow, it brought it all back, and you're right about the song - goosebumps all over.

It's still Lee for me. He's head & shoulders above the rest of them. But I daren't buy tickets yet, as I think the only other one I could cope with is Daniel.

pmsl LIZS. Bring it on!

I was thinking that Lizs! I think JB is gay isn't he? But all those boys having to kiss him...now I would stay in for that on a Saturday evening

(says she as though she's out every saturday night, dancing the night away - ha ha)

My friend understudied with Lee in Phantom and I asked him if Lee would like to marry me. He has just texted to say he'll ask him! swoon

The guy who was playing him when I saw it was called Jonathan Parkin - he was very, very cute.

Doesn't JB like the boys and the girls? I'd kiss him anyway.

So, Berrie - are congratulations in order yet?

I suspect he was only joking when he said he'd ask him if I liked! Trouble is I would like him to ask, just so that I can watch it on Saturday and think, 'I proposed by proxy to him!' How old am I? Suspect that DH might have something to say about it anyway!

LOL Berrie! Can't believe I'm swooning too, at 33!
