It's not as if he can only sing upbeat songs, he did He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother nigh on faultlessly, and I recall him doing Bridge Over Troubled Water well too.
Also, if you listen to the first minute of Crying it's very good, it's only when the high notes come in that it goes wrong, and he does not need to be able to sing those notes to be Joseph (and he didn't pull a massive "oops!" face when he cocked up like Antony did in Patience).
But I will concede that All By Myself was terrible.
