If Lewis sings with Josh Groban and makes a hash of it, even if it's after the voting is closed, it will still be before Andrew makes his decision as to who should go.

As Lewis is likely to be in the bottom two again, it might finally sway ALW into ditching him. Which can only be a good thing.
I would rather Ben or Keith go home than Lewis, purely becuase i don't think any of those 3 are good enough to play a lead west end role, but Lewis has a something about him.

Ah in that case i dont mind as MUCH but id still rather see Lee singing with him than Keith, the less I see of Keith the better.

Does Josh get to choose? Im guessing seeing as keith is apparently such a big fan, he will get it.
I agree with you Rachey. Keith makes me feel quite queasy. At least there's one good thing about not watching the program live tonight - I can fastforward this bit!

I'm sure I'm leaning against an open door with you on this one as well, but didn't Keith look odd with the big (not unattractive) girl he was with last week for Brown Eyed Girl? She looked like she was probably his nanny or the girl his dad had taken a fancy to whilst on holiday. More step mum than GF!

I think whoever gets to sing with Josh could find it turns out to be a poisoned challice

Im sure Lee could manage to sing with him perfectly!
I don't think so. No one on the show (of any of the boys) could sing with Josh Groban and hold their own - the man's voice is immense. (I know this because my mother utterly adores him )

Could be a bad bad idea if, say, Lewis has to do it.

well if its anything like Siobhan-gate last year, ALW will keep it under wraps until the last possible second. I was in the audience and viewed the rehersals last year on the night Siobhan sung Truly Scrumpious. In the rehersal they lead us to believe it would be chosen at random and Abi was picked, she sang Siobhan off the stage to be honest.

I hope Lee doesn't get picked, it looks like obvious favouritism but will sabotage him in the long run, just as it did with miss-wooden top.

It will definitely look that way though I dont think ALW will care. I wonder if people at home will feel that he is being singled out for favouritism or maybe he has such a large fanbase that they wont care and will still vote for him as the winner.

EURGH YES!!! It was just incomfotable to watch seeing him with that girl. He looks like a young boy. And his new haircut hes got this week looks no better than last weeks! AND when he does his podcast he doesnt seem full of energy.

Not that i hate the bloke and i dont want to offend his fans, but he just does nothing for me.

I agree it looks like favouritism, but i think his fanbase is so large now it wont affect him, at least i HOPE

As ever in life it's all down to personal taste. Lee leaves me absolutely cold.

The one thing I am sure of is that, as Josh Groban is someone that Keith admires, he will give of his best in his own performance tonight.

I'm sure he'd love the opportunity to sing with Josh, but to be able to show his own individual talent will be just as rewarding.

Yawn - if it was a different contestant, say like Ben you wouldn't think so - ben who has been saved twice even though he has been terrible - favouritism much

It would be favouritism to anyone who gets picked they would have an extra opportunity the others didn't get.

It's such an unecessary exersise, I hated it last year and I am going to hate it this year too.

Nope; I'd think so with any contestant. Whoever gets picked is being singled out - surely they could just do a group number with him instead of picking on one person?

Whoever it is (if it happens) I'd regard it as attenpted sabotage rater than favouritism - as someone pointed out , Josh Grogan has an amazing voice and the risks would well outweigh the benefits of having to sing with him!

Didn't they do this on Fame Academy with Lionel Ritchie and Lamar sang with him. LR told him the best thing to do was not win and think he might have had a point Lamar has had way more success than the winner did that year- so much so i can't even remember who won

according to a poster on another forum who knows one of the contestants, their was a 'competition' of some sort to determine who gets to sing with Josh. I'm glad that is the case, this is much better than ALW hand picking the chosen one.

I think David Sneddon won it the first year when Lemar was in it. DS is songwriting mainly now, I think. (Didn't like being out front seemingly).

I really do not see why the judges seem to be behind Keith. I think he's awful and couldn't hold a show on his own. I get bored when he sings and go channel hopping.

I'm really pleased Josh picked Lee.
