To be honest, since Daniel went last week, im very worried Lee wont make it much further, i hope im wrong.

It wouldn't matter what they gave Lee to sing, he would make something of it.

It's not the song that matters, it's the singer.

Well, if anything happens, you can blame me

To be honest - I think Lee (in ALW's eyes) has had this won from the first show. But I will stop talking now, as my views on Mr Mead are v.clear!

But yes, he definately needs something lighthearted. I think "Daydream Believer" will be good for him.

I read that too but I really hope Ben pulls a great performance out of the bag.

I don't see why giving ben a challenging song for him is stitching him up - after all the other contestants have been challenged/stretched with their song choices, i don't see why just becuase he can only sing one type of song he should be an exception to that rule.

Keith hasn't been challenged.

He has had a range of songs - not all upbeat.

I agree Laurie, I think Kieth is the one contestant not to be challenged, you have to look at hi in group songs to see that he is not at all comfortsinging and dancing at the same time. In his songs he has had to show sadness but no angst and do no other real emotion. That is what I would like to see

I am not making any more predicitions as last week I was so way off the mark! anyone have any idea what Lee's song is yet? It is all down to the song I think - if Lee has been given 'cotton eyed joe' or 'I'm too sexy' we're doomed! (well actually he could prob pull off the Right Said Fred one!!! )

Lee's singing Daydream Believer. Pepsi lipread it from the podcast (genius )
I'm not sure about the actual song, it's a bit 'light', certainly won't show off Lee's great ability and range as a performer, but on the other hand, it will certainly be a great contrast to last week.

I agree. The week Ben was worst on was when he did all by myself (he should have gone after that imo) which was a ballad and he's been given more up-tempo songs that are easier for him since then. Will be interesting to see how he does this week. I hope he goes!

oh really? now I am worried.

I'm not going to say anything this week about who'll leave as last week I think I cursed Daniel as I said that if he was in the bottom two the other guy would be better just packing his stuff. Then he was in the bottom and went home so no opinion from me about the show.

I'm away this weekend so will miss the live show on Saturday, i'm going to get my parents to tape it though but i really hope my favourite doesn't go.

It looks like Ben is doing Roy Orbison's Crying - vv tricky high ending - no wonder he's worried. Has anyone been able tp lip read any of the other songs apart from Lee and Ben?

I LOVE that song! It's incredibly hard to sing though (believe me, I've tried after a couple of JD&Cokes! ) - if I was Ben I'd be pretty worried too. *gets flashbacks to Antony's first high note in "Patience"*

Just watched video again, don't think Lee is singing Daydream Believer (thank goodness) - he's smiling too much and he wouldn't smile if he had to sing that!

Try watching again i'm sure he is singing the lyrics below

Now you know how happy i can be...

And our good times start to end
Without a dollar one to spend But how much baby do we really need...

If Pepsi is wrong, I'll eat my beanie hat That's a happy part of the song, so the smiles are pretty much in keeping.

(you lipread that? Awesome! )

Watching it again, I agree with you that it definately looks like he's singing that - the without a dollar one to spend line in particular.

I'm worried about Ben now! Crryyyyyyyiinnnng, over yoooOOUUUUUuuuuu

if i'm wrong i'll eat lees beanie hat, but only if i can remove it from his curls in person

I had to watch lee and his legs over & over again, its a tough job but someones got to do it

And over, and over, and over, and over

It's not easy, but Pepsi is a true professional.

don't be........ it's such a "happy-clappy" (if crappy) song, the audience will get carried away and that always lifts the viewers who may then pick up the phone and vote

I prefer dark, intense, sexy Lee but they had to give him a happy song at some time
