As he did last week Lee really stood out tonight, with not only his singing but his acting too. I will be very surprised if Lee doesn't make it right to the end!

Lee is one of my two favourites. Great professionalism and brilliant performer.

Thought Lee was wonderful in tonights show - he is confident but never cocky. Certainly my Joseph!

Have to agree with the comments about Lee, he's got real stage presence, which just oozes from him.

I can certainly see him being Joseph!

I hadn't particularly picked Lee out up till now but our household thought he was brilliant, the stand-out performer last night. I could see him walking straight into any number of professional stage, TV or film acting roles.

I was absolutely captivated by Lee's performance on Saturday night. You just cannot keep your eyes off him! He completely commands that stage. He has to win.

Consider him truly appreciated from me!

Lee is definitely my favourite Joseph right now. I love pretty much everything about him

The thing I love about the ADWD in general is the fact that even the Josephs who don't win have a good chance of being offered a lead role because of the poeple involved in the tv show. Still want Lee to win it though

Great song, in fact they could choose any song from Guys and Dolls, they are all pure class ...... a bit like Lee.

Lee has to win this, surely.

I so agree with Mambo Italiano I would just love to hear Lee sing Empty Chair at Empty Tables from Les Mis, thinking about I would pay to see Lee play Marius in Les Mis, definitely one of my favourite musicals

He's been really good so far, he stood out the first week, and he's definitely now my favourite too. I agree that he completely captures and holds your attention while he's on stage. If they want someone with the talent and charisma, he's the one. I'd be extremely disappointed if he doesn't at least make the finals. One way or another, I hope he does very well from this show.

Does Lee have a lisp? Just can't get this out of my head when hearing him sing and pronouncing words? He's my fave so far but only just picked up on this, I thought it was feedback on the microphone last week!

I like Lee - great voice, adquate acting skills, good stage presence, nice looking - but there is still something missing for me with him that I can't quite put my finger on

Just giving this a bump!

Considering his age, I think that Lee has done extremely well in his career so far.

His training was not in one of the big London drama schools but one in Southend and his CV is quite extensive.

Although Bill Kenwright said that he hadn't seen leading man potential in him when he employed him before (or something along those lines) how many 25 year olds can walk into a leading role in the West End? Unless they are an ex pop star, of course.

For Lee to be an understudy in such a big production like Phantom shows that they are confident he can deliver the goods when required.

Oh, and I am sure that I saw his Mum in Southend on Monday.

I agree, although I do like him and I think he is probably the front runner at the moment. (Prefer Daniel though, maybe Lee just seems a little too obvious a choice).

Hi all! Another Lee fan here to join you and cheer him on!

I think he's FANTASTIC

You know what's missing? Him in a loincloth.

And the panel going on as enthusiastically about his performances as they are about some of the other boys.

Hmmmm, thank goodness for the message boards. Loved both Daniel's and Lee's performances from the first week but my overall favourite so far has been Lee's 'Bad Day'. All of a sudden I find myself watching the clip repeatedly...(I taped it luckily as boyfriend hates this kind of prog, or anything involving celebs on ice skates, ballroom dancing etc etc)

Find myself thoroughly distracted at work by the thought of him in a loin cloth......I didn't think I get so blushing and giggly either! Should I be worried??!!!

Bad Day was so subtle and so good - none of this OTT camp nonsense that we often see on shows like this. He made a lousy song choice absolutely hot. He's a star.

There's no doubt he's popular, frell-tastic. I've noticed on livejournal that there's already a community about him - not seen any for the other boys yet. That's making me feel a bit more positive about the fact that people are voting for him.
