Good luck to all the remaining Josephs. All of you have brilliant talent and i really don't have a clue who's going to win out of all of you as everyone has their favourites (my favourite being Keith. )

I've seen the Joseph production many times which first got me into this show and i can honestly say that i could see you all as a Joseph.

I wish all of you the best of luck in the future. Your experience on this BBC show has definetly gained you more experience and i'm sure will help you get closer to the careers you all wish to do. Your all very much popular in the public eye and this programme has certainly made my Saturday night. You all have extreme talent so good luck to all of you!

oops sorry

*waves again* Hi Lewis Hi Keith Hi Craig. Break a leg boys

Totally agree with the sentiment (we will have to disagree on the choice of favourite ) I have every admiration for all of them.

Hi to all you Josephs! (Or anyone reading on their behalf )

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor dreamcoat is my favourite musical by far, and I would like to thank you for making my love for it grow even more week by week with your fabulous performances in your race to become a Joseph. I look forward to Saturday nights, and can't believe we're nearing the finals! I hope to see you all on the West End stage someday, you all deserve it.

Now, a quick message for you (them )

Lewis- Don't let your nerves affect you. Go out there and give the performance of your life this Saturday; all your fans have complete faith in you, and know you can do it. I wish you all the luck in the world.

Craig - What a turnaround you've made in this competition. People are beginning to see you as a real contender for the Joseph crown. Keep it up - you can do it! Good luck for Saturday!

Ben - Believe in yourself. By surviving this long, you are obviously doing a lot of things right in the public's eye. Your performances get more and more memorable each week, and I hope you go on to do well.

Keith - You just would not believe just how many people I know who are amazed by you & your talent. Keep being amazing, for them and for everyone else!

Lee - I really hope you get your dream of being the leading man on stage, and not just an understudy. You have such a great voice, you should have been leading by now!

The best of luck to you all

Awwww - that is so nice!

Thank you

Exactly. Of course someone might be pretending they´re someone they´re not on-line. Thats irrelevent though - the fact of the matter is that if all of us viewers are tempted enough to log on to hear what others thoughts are, how tempted do you think the Josephs and their families will be, seeing as we´re talking about them!

Personally, I take it as a foregone conclusion that they (or their relatives) will be looking in. Its the phone votes that ensure whether they become a Joseph or not - I think its a complete certainty they will be looking at the posts on here, to see what the public are making of them.

Out of interest are there other forums discussing the show to this degree? (not because i want to leave you understand!)

I don't think any forums are quite as dedicated as us; I would say we are the main one, as most people who are familiar with internet forums have heard of DS. I'm only a member of one other "General Entertainment" forum, (the blue room) and I can say that they are more people on here discussing Joseph, and that the forum is bigger with more threads. Having said that though, perhaps it's not really fair to make a big comparison, as a lot of people join the blue room for DOI - which pretty much has a cult following over there!

I don`t know if any of the boys have time to even go on the `net, although we know that someone connected with the show does.
(Graham Norton has always got someone browsing for him, he used to do it on another show.)

But I`d like to send all of them my very best wishes.

They`ve all worked so hard to get this far, and I`m sure they will all go far, whoever wins.

I'd like to say hi to Craig and also Seamus in particular who have left. I'd also like to say hi to Lewis family and Lee's in particular and also to all the others. We've been enjoying the entertainment. This is heaps better than the X factor

I think so, it's not so much a foregone conclusion from the start who's going to win. It was so obvious that Shayne Ward would win 2005, although fortunately not quite so obvious in 2007 I'll admit.

I really do prefer this show, although I wish they'd get rid of Barryman.

get rid of zoe (take any opportunity to sing) tyler for me!

* note to Graham Norton*

Dear Mr Norton

Please do not call us 'annoraks ' on national tv

I am far more a (fake) fur and no undies type person.

Just wanted to clarify this point.

Your Sincerely

Binny

P.S Read your biography and thought it was fab

Well if Ben happens to come across this may I just say...

SCARBOROUGHS rooting for you You can do it!!!

God forbid that those poor people read some of this stuff...

Ooh, nice! I hope he mentions *that* next week

you looking for final night tickets bins

If you do read this thread, Lee, I hope you're not too offended by our naughty comments. It's the freedom that we get on here that is so nice, and also we're fairly anonymous. I can promise you that whatever cheeky things I may post online, that I really do love musical theatre, from opera to "Our House", and I'd never behave badly during a performance or at the stage door, and I'm sure neither would any of the lovely ladies on your thread. I really hope you win as you're the only one I'd pay for. You're very talented and even if you don't make it this time, you have a future in theatre ahead of you.

Ditto

Dear Josephs,

If you are reading this thread we wish you all well (OK I'll admit we have our favourites but whoever wins you've all given us some brill shows - it's certainly livened up Saturday evenings!). So enjoy the semi next week and all the best for the final.

*HUGS AND KISSES ALL ROUND*

Totally agree - the nice Mr Norton has obviously been mislead about us posters and I think he should publicly apologise next Saturday!

'Break a leg lads'
Im going to see JOSEPH and I am looking forward to the show

Although Dan was the man so far as I am concerned I do think we all owe you lads a huge round of applause for the sheer hard work all of you have put in to this, bringing us for once on a Saturday evening, totally complusive entertainment and riotous musical pleasure!

Only four of you remaining and frankly any one of you could get the prize, so go for it, all of you!
Lee- only the meanest could deny your talent
Keith- fabulous voice and sparkly personality on stage
Ben- definitely a powerful stage presence
Keith- who can't admire you immensely for your sheer fortitude in getting so far and your obvious pleasure in entertaining us? Go for it, kid!!

Finally, forgive me but I cannot leave Mr Boys out without a mention because you WERE Joseph for me and I'm still gutted all those wonderful numbers won't be whipped into spell-binding glory the distinctive, inimitible Daniel Boys way, but you'll be FAB in whatever roles you end up with. Thanks for the pleasure of your company so far! I'm also sure Dan wishes all the others the best of luck and a joyous time in one of the most heart-warming of musicals, courtesy of Sir ALW's magical melodies!

*wishes Denise a happy birthday for last Sunday*

Denise You lucky woman you
