blimey... cried last night and its time to cry again. what a peformance. what a show. loved the way lewis said to daniel before the sing off "dont worry"
The best sing off by far!!! If Daniel doesn't get a part in the west end then well...i haven't thought that far ahead but i'll be very upset!! Absolutely bloody brilliant - but ruined my 18th birthday!!
Daniel by no means deserved to go last night :-( the show won't be the same without him...wish him all the best in the future...and look forward to seeing him in a westend show!!!!!!.....he WILL get there of that i am positive!!!
Daniel had SO much more expression! He looks as if he was about to cry! These two were my favourites, so I was gutted when I found out they'd be in the singoff together. I guess now it's Lewis for the win with me! xxxxxxxxx
I loved both of these contendors. Daniel was an all-round sweetie not to mention amazingly talented singer. And Lewis.. well, aside the obvious (I would have him in a heartbeat) he is amazing at dancing, has a lot of stage presence, and he does have quite a strong voice in ballads. Not as strong as Daniel's, however. But if you look at Joseph's character, it does suit Lewis very well. Not to mention I would very, very happily watch that gorgeous face for 2 hours.
Daniel's Pure Class and Talent ALW what were you thinking. A young Michael Ball and one of the best in ADWD. I would pay to watch Daniel for two hours+ on the West End Stage. Good Luck
i saw Lewis when he understudied for Lee in Joseph, he was amazing! Like a lot of people I didnt understand why Lloyd Webber kept him in especially compared to Daniel, but seeing him play Joseph I was blown away
I was sobbing when daniel got voted off, he was way better and i loved him, not as much as lee mead but he was my second fave. still brings a tear to my eye, he was fantastic =]
Daniel gave me goosebumps during this performance. Goes to show that if you actually gave the guys musical theatre songs it would be a much more compelling programme.
Daniel has an amazing voice. Did Lewis make the final 3?? If so, how?? There were people in that show with much better voices and Daniel is one of the and he just puts so much emotion into every performance.
Daniel should never have left after that performance. I agree with Ben now, ALW doesn't know what he's talking about. I don't think Daniel is Joesph but based on last night, Lewis should have gone.
i still cant get over it daniel has vocal and acting talent lewis has little of either compared 2 him. i think the theory of alw protecteing his favourite has to be right. this was an obvious mistake daniel is by far the best out of the two
Daniel was far superior but Lewis was a more stereotypical 'Joseph'. Shame he's not achieved massive triumphs on the West End but John Barrowman certainly helped him. Not sure why people think he's too young to play JVJ since he's 37!!!
I was so upset when Daniel was voted out! He was obviously the better singer - did you hear the crackle in Lewis' voice at the start of the song? He could barely reach that note! It was an unfair plot on ALW's part.
Actually technically Joseph should have dark hair as Joseph is an Israelite, and their most common genetic trait was dark hair. Therefore his blonde hair actually puts him at a disadvantage if you want to take that stand on it!
Lewis has been in the bottom two twice because vocally he is weaker than Keith, Daniel or Lee (and sometimes Ben). I kind of feel bad for the guy as everyone watching this show went - WHAT?!@@* when Andrew saved him. And then to have Daniel rub it in with his stellar ending - ouch.
Omg Daniel was so much better than Lewis and yet he was pushed out I wish him luck with what's next for him ❤ and it made no difference him being gay to me I found him to be a wonderful contestant and sadly he wasn't here very long best of luck Daniel from your fan in Folkestone Kent Anne Louisa xx
no doubt daniel was better! daniel's just generally a better singer than lewis, though i think lewis has improved a lot. i've seen lewis in wicked (as fiyero) several times and although i still think he needs to work on his singing, i really enjoy him in the role of fiyero and actually prefer him to lee! daniel's done great too :) with avenue q and everything. wish them both the best!
I think Daniel went because he is just generally lacking charisma on stage. I get bored of his songs after the first 30 seconds, regardless of how good a singer he is. I agree with ALW's comment that "Lewis has a certain spark". I would have much much preferred for Craig to finally bugger off though. Hopefully next week - if not Lewis. :/ I really don't want him to go! Long comment sorry.
Yes, Daniel was far better that night, and is an amazing singer and actor. But he's not Jospeh. Lewis IS Joseph. And he was AMAZING last time. Completely amazing. Lewis should be Joseph all the way! Though I love Lee too - I'd like to see him as Pharoh.
I think alw's still in shock after his recent appearance on Jonathan Woss because his eyes/ears were obviously seriously affected last night.Why choose that long,gangly awkward lad over Daniel,it's absolutely ridiculous?!!Maybe he thinks Lewis has the right look for Joseph but you need more than that and having been in the bottom two he ain't that popular either,silly Lord Webber i say.There's only Lee left in that i'd pay to go see in the part now!!
lol, can you sing high? Narrator has to sing VERY high. And Ben for Bejamin (I don't like Keith). I wanna be in the choir again! (Couldn't be in the horse shoe though, too big now)
I just don't get it. Daniel blew Lewis out of the water! Daniel was so emotionally raw and his voice so powerful and expressive. His emotions were soo amazing! Lewis looked like he had to poo. WHY?! Lewis is weak and yeah his hair looked better this week but Daniel kicks his a@@ vocally and in acting!
Beautiful song, beautifully sung and performed by Daniel, and completely ridiculed by Lewis. Daniel's standard is so far ahead of the others that it isn't surprising that the voting public got complacent but for Andrew Lloyd Webber to choose the one not just devoid of a spectacular voice or any sort of acting talent but also of any sort of particular appeal of any sort, belies his years in the industry. Having said that, Daniel is far too good for a lightweight musical like 'Joseph'.
Daniel is super. He is special and will get on. He and John Barrowman together have an etremely good sound. JB will look after him. I think Daniel didn't get this job bacause he is gay.
Lewis only "won" because he was a "struggling underdog" that brought in viewers from the uncultured and ignorant masses that knew nothing of what musical theatre talent truly is. His technique was absent. YOU DO NOT SING THIS SONG IN YOUR FACE. But Mr. Webber knew what he was doing... He knew that while Dan was immensely talented, he wasn't going to win in the end. So, he cut him loose and kept the little d-bag that brought in viewers. But Dan showed those who knew the truth how wrong that was.
Very big mistake Andrew...Daniel was obviously the better one. Emotion...control...everything was better!!!!! Just because Lewis is a 'pretty boy' (although looks wise Daniel is more my type!)..........
oh my god. alw needs to stop being so inconsistent. daniel may have a touch of smarm about him, but so does lewis. as for vocal talent, it is just blatently obvious that daniel is better. he may not have ended up joseph, but he had a better fighting chance than lewis, who should never ever be joseph - if he won, i wouldn't go see it. seriously people, wrong decision!!
aw. daniel has a much better voice than lewis, and did much better in this sing off. but oh well. he's pretty successful now with avenue Q, so i guess it's all good!
Absolute rubbish! They stick it down a 4th so they can manage any effort at good singing! The guy in purple is fantastic, the guy in blue not good at all. It's still a MASSIVE cop-out not singing it at written pitch.

Met Daniel and also Sam him live a few times. He sang this and it was ABSOLUTLEY amazing!b
i remember watching this and not being able to stop crying
Daniel had SO much more expression! He looks as if he was about to cry! These two were my favourites, so I was gutted when I found out they'd be in the singoff together. I guess now it's Lewis for the win with me!

DANIEL YOU KILLED IT :D
I agree.. was so upset! Beautifully acted. You can't get a better soung than one from Les Mis.
I think Lewis' acting when he sung 'Let him live' on his own on his last solo part there was enough by itself.
I'd like to know what ALW had drunk or smoked that day.
Daniel's Pure Class and Talent ALW what were you thinking. A young Michael Ball and one of the best in ADWD. I would pay to watch Daniel for two hours+ on the West End Stage. Good Luck
lewis's vowel placement drives me crazy! Daniel was awesome
i saw Lewis when he understudied for Lee in Joseph, he was amazing! Like a lot of people I didnt understand why Lloyd Webber kept him in especially compared to Daniel, but seeing him play Joseph I was blown away
Daniel is a brilliant singer!!
I was sobbing when daniel got voted off, he was way better and i loved him, not as much as lee mead but he was my second fave. still brings a tear to my eye, he was fantastic =]
can someone pleeeease upload lee's video from last night? it was simply stunning
they both have beautiful voices, if i had to pick i would not be aboul to,they both have great stregnth in their on ways
Daniel gave me goosebumps during this performance. Goes to show that if you actually gave the guys musical theatre songs it would be a much more compelling programme.
Yeah, about three years ago (with the most awesome pharoh EVER).
I think a mezzo might be able to do it.
And Les Mis is awesome!
Unless I missed something when I saw Joseph... It's an operatic musical, there are like.... 30 lines.
Daniel = sings, acts, looks the best
xx
hey does anyone know where i can get these two singing this onto my i pod ???
Does anyone know where this song originally comes from?
Les Mis songs are amazing!
Daniel i loved you
Does anyone else think that Lewis and Daniel may be more that just 'good friends'?
Daniel is awesome, not only is he a better actor, but his voice is so much more mature and beautiful than Lewis'...plus he has better phrasing.
did lewis make a mistake near the end or was he meant to sing diff lyrics to daniel?
OMG i seriously cried all night cuz Daniel wuz da best eva o well at least i av Ben! Luv yoo ben! BEN 2 WIN!!!!
It's such a hard song to sing anyway surely, given it's so high. But I do think daniel was better, I remember watching this and being blown away.
Daniel has an amazing voice. Did Lewis make the final 3?? If so, how?? There were people in that show with much better voices and Daniel is one of the and he just puts so much emotion into every performance.
if there was any justic, the final would be Lee, Daniel and Ben. Tragic they both got knocked out by Lewis.
love you daniel :)
Crystelles has it up on You Tube!
its like 2 years on i still think the wrong desision was made!!! lol
so do i! and i was there so i should know!!
Who are these guys?
hahaa!! these jackets are my favourite!
Daniel sang this amazingly well- Lewis only got through because he looks like a Joseph with his fucking dyed blonde hair
Daniel should never have left after that performance. I agree with Ben now, ALW doesn't know what he's talking about. I don't think Daniel is Joesph but based on last night, Lewis should have gone.
Now that Darling Daniel is gone for me it's a choice between Lee and keith.
hey all you people saying daniel was better, if he was then andrew would have picked him. he simply picks the better one of the 2
p.s -
Evergreen was definetely not Daniel's strongest performance, but he was definetely better in this.
Danny would be a great Valjean, just give him a few years to look the part~ ^^
DANIEL WAS SOOO MUCH BETTER!!!
But he's done the better out of the two of them anyway :D
i still cant get over it daniel has vocal and acting talent lewis has little of either compared 2 him. i think the theory of alw protecteing his favourite has to be right. this was an obvious mistake daniel is by far the best out of the two
lewis.......what are you doing
Daniel was far superior but Lewis was a more stereotypical 'Joseph'. Shame he's not achieved massive triumphs on the West End but John Barrowman certainly helped him. Not sure why people think he's too young to play JVJ since he's 37!!!
I was so upset when Daniel was voted out! He was obviously the better singer - did you hear the crackle in Lewis' voice at the start of the song? He could barely reach that note! It was an unfair plot on ALW's part.
They should've got John Owen-Jones in to show Lewis how its done. Crappy vote
Sorry everyone this was meant to be a direct reply to Mr. Tickster's comment
Daniel to play JVJ when he is a bit older! I reckon he could pull Javert of too!
cant you make up your own mind. do you have to base greatness purely on what an "expert" says it is.
Actually technically Joseph should have dark hair as Joseph is an Israelite, and their most common genetic trait was dark hair. Therefore his blonde hair actually puts him at a disadvantage if you want to take that stand on it!
Lewis has been in the bottom two twice because vocally he is weaker than Keith, Daniel or Lee (and sometimes Ben). I kind of feel bad for the guy as everyone watching this show went - WHAT?!@@* when Andrew saved him. And then to have Daniel rub it in with his stellar ending - ouch.
Is this in a lower key? :/ They both have nice voices, but It's a shame two peole had to sing it- doesn't realy have the same effect.
Omg Daniel was so much better than Lewis and yet he was pushed out I wish him luck with what's next for him ❤ and it made no difference him being gay to me I found him to be a wonderful contestant and sadly he wasn't here very long best of luck Daniel from your fan in Folkestone Kent Anne Louisa xx
i wanted daniel to go through...
im still angry bout it lol
no doubt daniel was better! daniel's just generally a better singer than lewis, though i think lewis has improved a lot. i've seen lewis in wicked (as fiyero) several times and although i still think he needs to work on his singing, i really enjoy him in the role of fiyero and actually prefer him to lee! daniel's done great too :) with avenue q and everything. wish them both the best!

the best singoff by a mile. but daniel wiped the floor with lewis; a better actor, and he was more on key. lewis got through cos of his looks.
Yes, Daniel was far better that night, and is an amazing singer and actor. But he's not Jospeh. Lewis IS Joseph. And he was AMAZING last time. Completely amazing. Lewis should be Joseph all the way! Though I love Lee too - I'd like to see him as Pharoh.

Lewis bradley sings
00
lewis sounded off key at the start
any rim will do
lol, can you sing high? Narrator has to sing VERY high.
And Ben for Bejamin (I don't like Keith).
I wanna be in the choir again! (Couldn't be in the horse shoe though, too big now)
I just don't get it. Daniel blew Lewis out of the water! Daniel was so emotionally raw and his voice so powerful and expressive. His emotions were soo amazing! Lewis looked like he had to poo. WHY?!

yes he was wrong!!
lewis has a neck like a swan, lolz
eeuugh i hated Lewis, dunno how he lasted so long. Daniel was great, he's in Avenue Q now though isn't he? So it all worked out for him.
Lewis only "won" because he was a "struggling underdog" that brought in viewers from the uncultured and ignorant masses that knew nothing of what musical theatre talent truly is. His technique was absent. YOU DO NOT SING THIS SONG IN YOUR FACE. But Mr. Webber knew what he was doing... He knew that while Dan was immensely talented, he wasn't going to win in the end.

Daniel is BETTER :D
also from Holland!
Daniel was robbed here
Very big mistake Andrew...Daniel was obviously the better one. Emotion...control...everything was better!!!!! Just because Lewis is a 'pretty boy' (although looks wise Daniel is more my type!)..........
lewis wasnt too bad but his voice is too boyish for this song daniel is much more mature....
oh my god. alw needs to stop being so inconsistent. daniel may have a touch of smarm about him, but so does lewis. as for vocal talent, it is just blatently obvious that daniel is better. he may not have ended up joseph, but he had a better fighting chance than lewis, who should never ever be joseph - if he won, i wouldn't go see it. seriously people, wrong decision!!
aw. daniel has a much better voice than lewis, and did much better in this sing off. but oh well. he's pretty successful now with avenue Q, so i guess it's all good!
Gay
Absolute rubbish!
They stick it down a 4th so they can manage any effort at good singing! The guy in purple is fantastic, the guy in blue not good at all.
It's still a MASSIVE cop-out not singing it at written pitch.
haha, daniel was sooooooo much bettter, i really dont think lewis can sing very well!!
