It’s nearly crunch time. ‘Any Dream Will Do’ semi-final this week. Keith, Lee, Lewis and Ben will battle it out for a precious place in the final show. I personally think it’s down to two main contenders now - Keith and Lee. Ben undoubtedly has star quality and cheeky charm to boot, but his shaky performance of ‘Crying’ last Saturday proved that his voice may not be strong enough to play Joseph. And as for Lewis, I’ve not yet seen him shine in the competition and to be honest, I’m surprised he’s still there. Although his performances are always competent, I’ve never watched him and gone ‘wow!’.

In other related news, I was surprised to see that Lee Mead has a Facebook profile - or should I say ‘Lee Mead’ has a Facebook profile. Ok, so I was sad enough to search for him on Facebook (it pains me to admit that, it really does). Anyway it was clearly a fake but there were lots of fans leaving messages of support and general obsession on it. Until today when I checked it (for research purposes only, you understand) a friend of Lee has had a big old rant telling the fakers to close the account. He called them bad names. He sounds rather angry. All of which I thought was very funny. Check it out at Facebook - you’ll have to join to see it though.

Anyway, take a look at Mr Mead performing ‘Daydream Believer’ last Saturday - bleedin’ brill. If you’re betting person, I suggest you put some cash on him to win..

It’s all go in the grease studio, we’ve had mix ups, sing offs and tough decisions - which makes us hopelessly devoted to watching this show!

After the shocking news that the couples were being split up we all sighed and thought this is it for our favorites Anthony and Alison, and boy did it come close to losing Alison for good.
Former couple Danny R and Lauren were always a weak pair from the beginning, and it was made obvious when they brought their new partners down to the bottom two with them. It was Bradley and Lauren vs Danny R and Alison, and after a tense sing off Bradley and Lauren were given to boot to our relief - there was still hope for our favorite pair Anthony and Alison!

This week the boys battled it out for a place in the semi final and when it came to the crunch pringle lip Michael and weak Danny R disco danced their way out of the competition. The judges voted off Danny R after coming to their senses and the public did us proud by voting off the smarmy Michael. So that leaves our winner Anthony and the plastic looking Danny B in the semi final, get your fingers ready to dial Grease is the Word and vote Anthony all the way. Next week its the battle of the pink ladies, it’s going to be a tough one as they are all pretty good but as ever we’ll be rooting for Alison.

Things are getting very very exciting on ‘Any Dream Will Do’ these days. We’re down to the final five and now that Daniel’s gone (shocking by the way - Lewis should have been out this week), I can’t see any contenders to really rival Lee. Lewis seems to lack confidence and Craig has no charisma. Ben and Keith are great, but they pale when placed next to Lee. His version of ‘Paint It Black’ by the Rolling Stones was truly powerful, brilliantly acted and superbly sung. I don’t want to count Lee’s chickens before they hatch, but I think we already have our Joseph…

Well three couples down, five remain and we breathed a sigh of relief when our favorites Anthony and Alison were kept in. This week they chose a soulful song and blew the audience away, keep up the good work!

Susan Mcfadden really shone this week and proves a strong competitor for the role of Sandy, however that cant be said for her partner Danny B. He overacts, is very false and his upper lip really resembles a pringle crisp. Yet saying this I reckon Susan is going to carry him along because she actually has talent - but for how long can pringle lip dodge the chop? We shall have to tune in Saturday night to see.
