Battle of the Josephs
May 30th, 2007 by Laura WestIt’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..

I was surprised to find a Lee Mead My Space account (yes, like you I searched for research purposes only!), but like the one at Facebook, it’s fake.
I totally agree with this blogpost and the one about the upcoming final. Lewis and Keith have the qualities to be great stars - whether in theatre or in the music industry - but Lee is the only one ready for Joseph at this moment.
I’m not a gambler, but I went ahead and booked tickets for a Joseph performance at the beginning of August when I will be on holiday in London - and I can’t wait to see Lee in his loincloth!

Ahh, Lee in a lioncloth. What an image. I am of course more excited to see him in what I’m sure will be a very skillfull performance
Will be booking my tickets soon!
