^ i hope his experience doesn't count against him. the fact is, he's the best one for the job, so he deserves to get it no matter what.

EDIT: i finally found and rewatched lee's performance and i'm still tingling from it. i would give anything to have him sing to me.

hahaha. me and my flatmates are all pretty scared of his teeth too.

i thought they were far too harsh on lee tonight - okay so it wasn't his best night, but to sing like that with a virus is pretty darn impressive; and he still performed well and completely owned the stage, even if his vocal wasn't up to scratch.

yeah, i really respected the fact that lee didn't mention his illness. in theatre you just have to get on with it, and he did. having said that, i still think that it was only fair to take it into consideration because it was naturally going to effect his vocals.

i think they're harder on lee because they expect more from him, which is understandable but unfair. never mind, he can wipe the floor with the competition anyway.

yeah, i've never like keith, but he really impressed me tonight - i think he could provide some stiff competition.

i really disliked andrew before the maria programme last year (i much preferred his brother, who i fell in love with when i saw him playing cello when i was about nine), but i think he's come across really well on these programmes. his reputation's on the line but he still seems genuinely interested in heping the contestants as well as himself, and i like that.

you're right, rob shouldn't have gone tonight. ben and craig should both have left before him.

well, lee was back to his usual marvellous self tonight. i tell you, when he sings my spine turns to custard and i get gossepimples all over (to quote some like it hot). i can't stop smiling whenever i see him either.

me and my family are going to see the show in august and obviously i'm hoping it will be lee, but after the last couple of weeks i wouldn't whinge too much if it was keith. he'd have a lot of work to do if he were to pull off playing the older jospeh, but he does have a fantastic voice and he performed tonight's song brilliantly. he's not as good as lee, but he definitely has a bright future.

well, i've already booked the tickets, so i'll be going whoever it is. it'd be good to see the show anyway.

for me, harsh as it may sound, it's keith's face that's the biggest problem - with those droopy eyes it's hard for him to look anything but sad. and he's so little that it would be hard to take him seriously as the powerful figure of authority that joseph becomes. but yeah, if he does win, his voice is good enough that i may be able to overlook that.

i still want lee though. i think my flatmates think its slightly insane how much i love him. lol

if it's ben, i could always take some eggs and sneak round to the stage door to pelt him with them afterwards. haha. i can't see that happening though.

yeah, i love how the men have been crying so much more than the women did. weak!

i meant to ask before, who are you supporting now?

yeah, that's what's so excting about keith - he's so young that he's still got time to learn and grow, and he could really be something special.

even after joseph is over and done, i'll be keeping track of lee and keith's careers and going to see them as often as my budget will allow.
