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...

Ben is fabulous. OK so his voice is the weakest in the competition, but his dancing!

Thanks Lizs - will start putting pennies away or telling bf that nice weekend in winter might be nicer!!

beansprout, at you wanting to kill Craig!!!
Surely just maiming him would have been enough to get rid of him
I agree Ben's rubbish but Craig was worse. makes you wonder at the standard of the contestants overall when so many rubbish people are in the last four (everyone except Lee).

how very dare you @ all the ben dissers

Here's that link again to Lee singing Paint it Black.

I honestly honestly honestly, can't see what anyone sees in Ben. He is a boy, and not a very good looking one either. He looks like he could be part of some yob gang. His dancing is OK but I thought they were all pretty good at dancing last night. Anyway, does Joseph dance?

I don't support Lewis or Keith but I can see the attraction of both. But please, explain to me the attraction of Ben.

but just how much real dancing is there in Joseph ? Surely the role is more about voice, presence and attitude. Ben has attitude but it is more akin to a spoilt toddler - he scowls and pouts if "told off" and his voice won't hack it. Lewis is too lightweight in stature, talent and vocal ability. Which leaves Keith or Lee ? Lee is the safe bet , Keith the "give a newbie a chance" risk .

oh I agree that Ben isn't Joseph: clearly Lee is. But Ben has great charisma on stage and can move like none of the others. Bah.

And he has chutzpah.

Bags of it.

Chutzpah? More like arrogance and brattishness. Maybe he'll be good when he's grown up a bit.

You see, I never really liked Ben, but (although I am horrified to realise) he has grown on me. He is the weakest singer but one of the best performers....and will probably win the teeny boppers vote (ben or lewis anyway - I don't see the attraction in lewis hwoever)

Anyway, I am a Lee girl

Definitely brattishness. I can just see him whehn he was at school and told off for some bad behaviour. You can see that hard look in his eyes. He needs to grow up.

i thought ben was awful last night but he really has a delicious arse and can move. who was it said he should have been in the danny comp? so true.

Ah well, perhaps it's his arrogance that appeals to me

As much as I really think Lee should be Joseph, I'm starting to think it's all a bit 'planned' by the Beeb. I thought that for the Maria thing too, especially as both Lee and Connie were the only 2 with proper west end experience in smaller roles.
Although Ben was a good all rounder, his singing last night was not good and it has to be consistent every night whoever gets to be Joseph.

Molesworth, if arrogance is what you want, take it from the Master: John Barrowman!

When is the final and how will it work?

I was watching both Grease and the Joseph programs last night and I think you can totally tell the difference between Lee and all the other guys. I know he is a professional and the others aren't, but I think it totally shows.

2 weeks iirc and viewers vote only.

I love Mr Barrowman

To go against all of you, I cannot see Lee as Joseph - yes he has a brill voice and can act but I don't think Joseph is the role for him.
I can't see Keith as Joseph either.
I am sure whoever wins will give an excellent performance

Week after next i think, when i will be at work

Am I the only one now watching this for just the Lee bits and ignoring the rest now that he's lost any real competitors?

And was it just me or did Lewis have a massive hard on when he was singing whatever it was? DH had a look and agreed whilst ROFL Yuck, I wish I hadn't noticed -

It was just a 'pants tent'. I think.

lee's hair is pure shit, though. those ringlets at the front... [boak]
