Any Dream Will Do: The Daniel Boys Appreciation Thread
Seeing that he's popular amongst us, and also, I have a feeling he'll be in the competition for quite a while. I thought we should have a thread for him!!
So Daniel fans... come this way and post!

Daniel has the best vocals in the whole competition imo.
He actually made me melt on saturday. I think his acting could be improved though. |

Best vocals in the competition and an adorable smile. Hopefully he will pick some great songs to make the most of that voice. Currently my favourite but I do like Lee too.

He does have a great voice. Any doubters should have a listen to Maria posted on his myspace
http://www.myspace.com/officialdanielboys But I do agree that the choice of song can be critical so just hope they/he chooses some good ones. |

He was amazing on Saturday. It wasn't just his voice either, i think he had the best tape before he sang - he just came across as so charming and unassuming. I was trying to be impartial and not have favourites, until i saw his performance!

He has a wonderful voice. It will be interesting to see whether that carries him through. He'll definitely be going a long way in the competition.

I think he is absolutely fantastic but not sure he is right for Joseph but definately right for stardom
He reminds me of Will Young. I have to say also that i think like Will he could be a man's man so a lot of ladies will be disappointed. This is only my opinion of course (but I am usually right!) |

I saw him understudy and play Mark in Rent a few years ago and he was brilliant - was so shocked he was an office temp, wish my temp job was working with him!! Thought for sure he'd be like Lee and a regular West End understudy at least.

I don't think I can agree with your second point. Having seen Daniel on stage during the dress rehearsal and off stage during most of the rest of the War of the Worlds tour a year ago where he was understudy for all 5 male roles, I would say he could be straight for Britain. He could just be a very good actor though, on and off the stage ................ which leads me to my next point ........... ![]() Quote:

Not sure if people have seen this too, but here's Daniel's audition video on the Joseph Website
http://www.bbc.co.uk/joseph/joseph/n...04/42453.shtml Needs realplayer though, but if you get to watch it..... how good is that. Lots of passion too, even without an audience and a girl dancing around him :P |

If the rumours are true, think he would prefer a boy dancing around him!

Daniel is one of my two favourites in the competition. Great performer and interpreter of the song.

I was looking at one of my favourite stage performers Paul Spicer online & came across Daniel's name who was in Christmas in New York last December.
Paul is great so I am sorry I missed this show. |

He was good last night, but there were a few who performed better, but sure he will come back next week and blow everyone away.
He has a lovely smile. |

I think he's got a good voice, but he does tend to bellow sometimes and half-shout instead of actually singing. If he applied some Bel Canto principles, his voice would be nicer to listen to.
Plus he does that dreadful vibrato-o-o-o-o-o-o thing at the end of musical phrases which is just awful. Too many musical singers do this and it's just a cover for poor breath control. He's got the making of a star for sure. And he's delicious to look at! I like his demeanour too. He doesn't seem cocky and arrogant, but just seems to enjoy getting on stage and performing. (To me, there are two types of performers: those who do it for the glory of themselves, and those who do it for the glory of the music and the composer. Daniel is the latter. I hope he wins!) |

I was really disappointed with his performance this week - it didn't work for me
