I TOTALLY agree with you! I never thought of it like that. I did think last week though that Daniel was scared of how good Craig is. When they played the VT last week of them rehearsing the trio he said that he was afraid Craig would let them down (as if!) and on stage during that number Daniel looked really desperate, like he was trying to upstage Craig. Craig on the other hand didn't let this bother him and managed to bring himself to the forefront time and time again.

Craig obviously didn't let them down as he is still here!

i've watched don't rain on my parade a few times, on youtube, and thought craig gave a remarkably self assured performance.

daniel, remember to 'be nice to people on your way up because you'll meet them on your way down'

Sorry to be a bit of a pain. But what has Daniel done exactly?

Just popped in to wish Craig all the best tonight.


There he was singing with two professionals last week and did he look out of place? Not a bit he slotted right in. He may not be my Joseph (at the moment) but I am sure he will get something out of this show and you have to admire his determination.

Yes he did, and i believe that was at the begining of the week but he felt confident in Craig by the effort he put in and both he and Lee gave him all the support and he wanted.

He has not said or done anything that justifices the comment of being nice on the way up cos you will meet them on the way down Daniels niceness is not an act.

I have been enjoying Craigs journey.

You're right, it was at the beginning of the week and I think by the end of the week he new that Craig was a real contender, and I just felt that he was trying to outshine Craig a bit on the night because of this, which I suppose any competitor would do. It does say a lot for Craig too.

Daniel is a nice guy though and I believe he has said some nice things about Craig in a recent article. I was also shocked that he went because I did truly believe he would be in the final. All the more advantage for Craig!

Wouldn't it be great if the runners-up were all Joseph's brothers!

Could we all make a concerted effort to get this thread onto page 14 before the show starts?

Have faith and don't forget to vote, as if!

Just under 2 hours to go and I'm excited and nervous too! If that's me imagine how the guys are feeling. I really want Craig to go straight through and not be in the sing-off. His confidence has soared since he sang TITM and it really showed last week. If he stays strong he should be fine.

What I also can't understand is what people see in Ben, although my teenage daughter thinks he is the best thing since sliced bread (his looks of course).
Great to see that the mums are spotting Craig as the one! It will be the Mums who will be buying the tickets, not the teenage girls.

She does also love Craig (well she has no choice really!) but seriously she thinks he's great.

Does anyone out there remember the wedding singer at Delboy's wedding in Only Fools And Horses? This is the final answer I need in a quiz for my daughter's brownies. The clue is 'Hilarious song at Trotters' wedding'. Need quick answer as they are being handed in tonight!!!!!!
