They are the only three in it for me. Lee and Daniel are the most accomplished and are the only two who actually "sell" the performance.
Keith has the best voice but, sadly, just doesn't look the part. He has a great future, though.”
They would be my top three too, perhaps with Keith interchangeable with Lewis or Rob as a "whole package".
I can't agree in a million years with Keith having the best voice. It's not a patch on Lee's, or even Lewis' (or the sadly gone too soon Seamus and Johndeep) and millions of leagues from Daniel's.
Sure, Keith can hit the right notes nicely (as long as they're within his rather limited register) but nicely is all and nicely is not enough.
He doesn't have the ability to convey the emotion of a song with his voice (therefore, he would not make a good recording artist), and is unable to convey the emotion of a song by acting which, paired with his less than good looks, would make him unsuitable as a stage performer.
Unfortunate for him but such is life.
