Sour grapes anyone? Seamus certainly had his fair share on this week’s ‘Any Dream Will Do’. Ok, I don’t think he was the right choice to leave, but he could have at least done it with dignity. Accusing Andrew Lloyd Webber of a ‘conspiracy theory’ the moment he found he was going was a pretty poor response and his angry performance of ‘Close Every Door to Me’ was kind of cringeful. I don’t think he could have cut it as Joseph in the long run anyway, he was always a little bit to arrogant for my liking.

Anthony was a dead cert to go after his ear-splitting performance of Take That’s ‘Patience’. For the first time in the competition I had to cover my ears while he was singing. Saturday’s show proved he’s not a lot more than a pretty face.

I think the front runners are becoming clear now. For me it’s Keith, Lee, Lewis and Daniel. Much as I’m rooting for Chris B, he seems a little too sensitive to be able to hold it together for eight performances a week. But I’m really hoping he’ll shine over the coming weeks and show us what he’s made of. To me, Craig seems weak, Ben forgettable and Rob just isn’t Joseph. The others are excellent though. Keith did a fantastically bouncy performance of ‘Crocodile Rock’ this week, that proved he’s well on his way to sorting his diction problems out. Lewis and Daniel were excellent also, giving really solid, classy performances. But Lee’s still by far and away my favourite. Singing ‘I Don’t Want To Talk About It’, he gave a controlled, well acted performance that sent shivers down my spine. Bill Kenwright wasn’t wrong when he said ‘Lee, you’ve broken a few million hearts tonight’. I just love him!

So who’ll go next week? My money’s on Craig, but we shall have to wait and see…

And, just for the hell of it, because I think he’s gorgeous, here’s Lee’s audition video…
