Its not about who got to win the contest, or which contestants happened to lose, or what we think of Josh etc. Or who are our favourites. Of course Lee is not to blame - and neither is Josh. The idea of giving one of them the spotlight and an extra chance to perform at the expense of others is just unfair in itself - they should all get equal time to perform. Who happened to win the contest (or lose it) is irrelevent to the fact that it was unfair and I hope it won´t be repeated on this show. Theres enough factors that bias things that we can´t control - at least let there performance time be the same. Its not much to ask.”

Thanks Humpty - you've explained what I meant better than I did! I thought the idea behind this singing with JG was just badly thought out. I don't feel any sorrier for Keith than the others - he just seemed to be getting more stick than the other guys.

I also agree that it was not Josh's fault that he was picked, he obviously thought that he had the best voice out of the group.”

You're having a laugh, aren't you?!

I truly hope the decision to allow one contestant to duet with Josh Groban doesn't backfire on Lee. It seems many viewers are taking the view that it was unfair (I agree), and letting it influence their opinion of who should win.

Lee wasn't responsible for the contest within the contest, and the only influence he had over the outcome was his performance - which Josh considered to be the most suitable for the duet. Had Keith been selected I wouldn't have argued with that, but it would have been better if we'd simply had the pleasure of listening to Josh sing a solo.

You picked part of my post out of context,; shame on you that was a bit selective (shakes finger).

I understand that not everyone is a Lee fan, but when one of his supporters acknowledges that giving him an extra song was unfair, then using that post to score more points against him is a bit unworthy.

The Divination!

It was not my intention I assure You to quote you out of context, it is just unfortunate that some of the actions being taken for Lee could really rebound on him.

I have nothing personal against Lee, just that he does not fit the criteria set out for the New Joseph! - I backed Daniel but had small doubts, gladly I think Daniel Boys will come out of it the best! - Ben I see just ahead of Keith and then Lewis.

He deserves to win though, as the others (except for Keith) DON'T deserve to win, as they are hopeless.”

But then the same could have been said about Connie. And, Daniel was already in the 'business' as well. So it could have gone for him too.

Sorry, I could not watch Keith perform for 2 hours. I can't even stand to watch him perform a single song, I end up flicking.

I agree with all the Lee fans, he is great. I particularly enjoyed him changing inbetween scenes:

. I did think it was cruel on the others to call them backing singers.
