OK, given that the message boards won't be open over the weekend, I guess now is the time to say what we are hoping for from the show. My personal wishlist is as follows;

1. Solid performances all round. Bad ones are painful not entertaining!

2. Lee to get through, voice intact, with the illness being a non-story (thus avoiding difficult decisions/compromises that inevitably don't please everyone, that invite controversy and generally distract from everything/one else. So get well soon )

3. Daniel to be given a different style of song from previous weeks to show his range; a ballad would be good.

4. Lee to be given a belter of a song for the same reason (although prob doesn't help point 2!)

5. Bill to stop gushing. Not everyone is wonderful.

6. Craig or Chris to go out. Nothing against them but I can't see the potential.

7. Bit of a long shot but it would be nice to see someone else have a 'breakthrough' week and get everyone talking.

What's on other people's list?

1. More footage from rehearsals, so we can see how much development went into the finished product.

1a. No footage of friends/family/townsfolk.

2. Actual SHOW TUNES. Unless they're auditioning for "Crocodile Rock: The Musical," we need to hear songs that show more range and depth than the karaoke rubbish most of the guys have been given.

3. Comments from all judges on all performers. There are few enough contestants now where we can spare that kind of time.

Agree with JCello, and also for Craig to go.

Ben to leave!

Craig to leave

I also agree Craig to leave - just has not got it very bland and boring :yawn:

Hope we see a lot more of the task this week. According to Stage UK this week spending time the boys are spending time at the Queens Theatre with the cast of Les Mis, leaning songs from the show. I just hope Lee is singing Empty Chairs at Empty Tables.

I know Craig's not flavour of the month around here - but I'm hoping for the best performance he's done yet!

He's not happy with his song and it's a shame if he's goes out without us knowing if he really could do a belting show tune. Ho hum...

Link to his comments here:-

I'd also like comments from all the judges this week, they were pushed for time last week I guess.

And Graham Norton in yellow please

Totally agree with all of these. I wonder if ALW/the panel have deliberately saved show tunes for the 'business end' of the competition? Oh and lovely as I'm sure Nana Jean is, enough already. Also no crying please or answering back to the judges unless you are Will Young

This suggestion has come up a number of times; I think it could be a fantastic match of singer and song

I'd like to see a repeat of the Maria acting challenge where John Barrowman acts with the Josephs and takes them by surprise by seeing how they react to a passionate kiss.

I'm hoping for a Lee, Daniel kiss!! LOL

denise will be jealous! she'd probally beat him to it!

I am hoping Chris will go out!

I don't think i can watch another show with those extremely white teeth smiling at the camera. Also his wimpish crying just makes me wanna explode!

I hate to be mean as I think Chris is a really nice guy - but I personally think he should have gone before Seamus and can't believe he wasn't in the last two last week - Ben and Seamus were not the bottom two in my opinion. So I think it is his time to go - unless of course he does an amazing performance this week and really changes my mind.

1. I agree, though it is sometimes fun to know that the ones who are incomprehensibly appreciated by the judges are almost 100% certain to go out that week - eg Antony.

2. Lee to in some way prove that the story was more than just hype.

3. Daniel to be given a killer classic ballad ................ (we can but dream).

4. I refer to point 2.

5. Yes. Realism wouldn't go amiss.

6. Chris and Ben would be my choices.

7. Bit of a longshot but it would be nice to ................. no, I will stop there ........................ and in no way does it involve a box of chocolates, a bottle of Dom Perignon, some Baby Oil ............ and Daniel

Well, you did ask

For saturday I would really like :

1) Daniel to make me believe he could be Joseph - I love his voice but sorry just can't see him in the role - but I am willing to be proven wrong.

2) For Lee to go out and perform like a legend to an upbeat number. I love it when he's all mean and moody but I really want to see smiley Lee.....

3) No mention of Lee's illness, don't want the accusations of sympathy votes etc stenching the air!

4) A Chris and Craig sing off. (I mean no ill to either of them.)

5) DVO to cover her clevage

6) For Lewis to cut his hair

7) And finally for Lee to sail through to the next round......

of 5) you are hoping against all hope

2) moody Lee does it for me.

3) that would be good - but this is tv so you know how it is.....

4) please please please and let Chris (sorry) go.

Lewis - no comment

and agree Lee to sail through

Denise van Outen to NOT cover her cleavage.

Lee to wear his glasses.

Lee to go through.

1) To finally see a contestant I'd happily pay money to see. Was it last week they mentioned £70 as West End tickets? I wouldn't pay that to see any of them so far. Yeah, I have favourites, but for the price they're going to be charging they need to be bloody good!

2) Craig to go out. His voice is lovely and everything, but not for the West End.

3) To see Ben do a rocky number. His performance style reminds me of Jacob Hoggard from Canadian Idol. Just the way he stands and things. I'd love to see him just go out and rock out, as you can tell he really really wants to do.

I'd like for any of the others to prove that Daniel isn' t the man for the job and that any of the others are worth paying 70p for.

Tip for the Day - See Tickets - £49.50 (max full price)

You don't need to pay £70 for ANY of them.

Oh my heavens!

Wow! Did that actually happen? I missed Maria totally - that is brilliant. Wonder if he will do that again - or it could well be Denise who plays that role this time!

agree with second two - still not seen Lee in his glasses but I am sure he looks good in them.

that would be interesting!!!
