Any dream will do

Seamus got voted out :(

I think he would of made a really good Joseph.

Was it because he was a bit over confident that he went do you think?

Hi Trinny

I love this programme and am astonished that Chris will all the cosmetic dentistry is still there! I just see teeth when he performs!
Quite simply, Seamus did not 'up his game' last night. He was obviously not expecting to be in the bottom two by the look in his eyes, but Ben really pulled out the stops for the sing off - ALW said it was all about acting the song and Seamus didn't act it like Ben did.
Seamus hasn't made himself too popular with his attitude and commenting about a 'conspiracy theory' when he had to go wasn't very mature.
My favourite is Lee who, in my opinion, has the looks, voice, and acting ability to take on the role. I also think that Keith and the tall blond one (sorry, his name escapes me) will get parts even if they don't win.
It's a great show. Ali

I think it`s very unfair that the ones who`ve done shows etc before are allowed to compete against total amatures. CRAIG is the guy your thinking of empressali. Must confess that my fav is ROB.

This is a show about finding someone who would be capable of performing 8 shows a week in the West End in a show which costs millions of pounds to put on.The last thing they want is an amateur.They are looking for someone with talent,commitment and a professional attitude.The idea that you can pick someone off the street with no experience and make tham a star may work for Pop Idol but the Theatre is a different animal.

I've just looked at the Josephs bios on the show's website and Rob,Daniel and Seamus have all worked professionally as actors.Of the others 5 of them are currently studying drama.So,as with Maria,the majority of contestants do not have complete amateur status.Which is what I would expect.

I think Seamus got voted off because off his condescending attitude and this only was reaffirmed by the "conspiracy theory" statmenet and in the f8inal song when the other Josephs take the coat off he angrily grabbed his arm away and threw it off himself when Ben who beat him out in the sing-off went to take the coat off him.

i think he would have made a good joseph, but unfortunately he came accross as arrogant

[gina32]

he was very arrogant and seemed very surprised that he should have been voted off, like others said, when he mentioned his conspiracy theory, he was told in previous shows that he is a team member and not their teacher as he seemed to think he was, he gave the impression that he thought he had got the part and was just going through the motions

Does any one know if the finalist who don't make it will be offered the roles of the brothers,Keith would make a great Benjamin.

Well, it's Lee for me, not the least because I've seen him as Pharoah several times and I believe he'd be a perfect Joseph. Those girls they have dancing with them on ADWD, the others merely tolerate them being there, whereas Lee 'works' them and creates a real on-stage relationship with them in the minute or so he has them there. You almost expect him to carry on snogging them when the cameras stop.

I used to say the same about the professional/amateur thing, beejaybee, but then it's not as though the more experienced actors are exactly rich and famous. Lee, I know, has been overlooked in the past. Maybe the other pros have too. At the end of the day they are still just working men earning a modest wage and who will probably never be more famous than they are now. I think they deserve their chance to be spotted as much as anyone. Being Joseph will be a hugely demanding job and choosing the wrong one could lose the backers and the company an awful lot of money. Better they give the chance to the one they know is up to it, whether or not he's already in the business.

I think what the show does highlight is the fact that even though the boys are all very talented, there is a world of difference between the best people at the local club or theatre group and those working in the world of top class, professional theatre.

I'm sure seamus changed the words of his goodbye song. Aren't the words:
For I have been promised a LAND of my own?
It sounded like he sang:
For I have been promised a SHOW of my own!
Did I imagine that?

[feebee102]

No he definatley said Show.

[gina32]

he did say show but i assumed they were told to say that, i dont usually watch the end but i know in the maria one they all sang the same song at the end, i'll watch it this week just to see if they say the same,

[empressali]

The others who were voted off definitely sang LAND. I think Seamus was trying to tell us that he already has something in the bag. A part as a Leo Sayer lookalike perhaps??

[gina32]

he wa so far up his own backside it was amazing
