He has a good voice but I have yet to see him act any song and with lights sound set colourful costumes and many actors around him trying to outdo him I think he would be lost on stage
And is criticising someones talent not also a personal criticism?”

With a verrrry open mind about the point of this thread I'd like to say that I had a problem with Chris B's teeth to start. But I see him again and again, then he was just Chris
On first sighting of Keith yes, the teeth were a prominent feature, but now they are just fine. When you see a face regularly you see the person, not the faults. Good lord imagine how many actors/singers would be out of a job if looks were the key. Hundreds of people get success without relying on their looks thank goodness. Keith is actually a real cutie though and he has a look thats very watchable indeed. Hes not devastatingly handsome, nor is he ugly in any way! He has amazing eyes (check those lashes!) and remember his youth. His features will change and his teeth, if they are interfering with his vocals, can be fixed.
Being 'lost' on stage is understandable. I think too many seem to think they should all be performing as well as a real leading man by now, but get real. He's been rehearsing for a matter of weeks and it takes years to become accomplished. Keith is basically 'green' ALW knew that and is still willing to take a risk. He won't be 'lost' on stage if he becomes Joseph. He will have 5 weeks of rehearsals to become stage confident and perfect each movement. He can do it.
