I
am shocked and sorry that Daniel went tonight
- his peformance wasn't the best tonight but it wasn't the worst by a long way. Best wishes to him for his future career which I am sure will be musical rather than filing.
He didnt deserve that.....ALW you should be ashamed ....you turned the program in to Grease.....

He didn't lose it at all. That is a really emotional song, and he sang it like it is meant to be sung. He was good enough in that song to be on Les Mis playing John Valjean. Lewis sings like an overtrained stage school brat (which he is), he is a sweet boy but in no way old enough or mature enough for Joseph which Daniel was.
we'll disagree.

What a load of c**p, i couldn't vote for ages. Phone line
was permanently engaged.
I had trouble with the phones too at one point when I phoned Daniels number, I heard Lewis's voice, thanking me for my vote!! I know I dialled Daniel's number too! I also got the engaged tone sooooo many times which is very unusual!

I am sooo angry at that result. I could see it coming... the same thing happened in the Maria show when ALW got rid of Aoife and Abi in the semi-final to eliminate Connie's competition. Now Lee has absoloutly no competition now he'll walk it and it will be a boring and farcical show.

At least the singoff proved one thing... give
Daniel a song he can really act in and he does it amazingly, he moved me to tears. I can't believe ALW put through the mediocre Lewis over him. (Even though i've been predicting it will happen).

yep he eliminated Lee's competition....he wont like that.

Gutted. Absolutely gutted. I'm still shaking.

ALW's decision was so obviously tactical. There was such obvious disbelief in the studio - from the audience, from Lewis himself, and Denise and John looked really upset.

Hope Daniel goes on to bigger and better things than Joseph.

ALW seemed to be struggling to find something good to say about Lewis - 'MAYBE he has a spark....????' So we'll eliminate Daniel just on the off chance hey???

RUBBISH!

Lewis has a spark? I wish I could see it.
Yea I've struggled with that one too, but I'm sorry, Daniel's performances have been flat for a while, and tonight he was blown out of the water by a performance pulled out from...well I have no idea where from.

There is no way anyone can seriously discount the performance of Lewis tonight, but it's not surprising that people don't understand it within the wider context of the show.

The whole 'it can only have been tactical' though is just biased and childish.

must have watched a different singoff to you. Daniel completly outclassed Lewis i'm afraid.

and it obviously was tactical. either that or ALW wants a blonde bimbo Joseph that is often favoured in Amdram productions and tours. I thought he wanted something differnet from Jason Donovan.

edit: and i'm not biased because i'm actually a Lee fan and thought Lee and Ben were far better than Daniel tonight

To choose Lewis over him - it really is just unbelievable. I think that all the panel (including ALW) have already said, several times, that Lewis has been struggling for the last few weeks. Whereas Daniel has done everything with ease and style and charm.

I feel like crying - I just don't understand.

I know... terrible...

Seeing his face at the end was the most awful thing. I had to leave the room. I couldn't watch him sing close every door...

I just couldn't do it

Your right. Even Lewis thought his time was up, especially since he was in the sing off last week. Twice in a row should be a sign to ALW that he is never going to be Joseph.

Kittens I am so sorry, (and angry) the adorable Daniel did not deserve this!
It is clear to me that Andrew is a total moron. I didn't agree with some of his decisions on Maria either, but this leaves me breathless.
Right from the start, I've been supporting Lee, cause i think he's better suited to the part, but I love Daniel too and actually think he has a better voice. Even if Lee does win (and I've no faith in that anymore either) this whole competition has been ruined for me, it's just a joke.
You know what though, there is no way that this is the end for Daniel, there will be theatre producers out there with far more cop on than ALW and they will snap Daniel up. Remember what happened to Abi and Aoife, I hope Tim Rice is watching!
Keep Strong

Well it's fine that you don't agree, but you certainly don't know what Lewis was thinking.


I'm not a Lewis or Daniel supporter (I liked Daniel earlier on), I just think whereas Daniel has been better than Lewis overall, he hasn't really been putting in great performances and tonight he overdid it. Lewis gave a performance that...well, was completely unlike him. Emotive, subtle, powerful. Daniel was not subtle.

The Lee conspiracy stuff is absolute nonsense btw It's annoying how people scream conspiracy when what they want doesn't happen. Grow up.
