Yeah it's amazing how those injuries come and go over four hours. I agree with getting back to whose the best (or most improved) rather than focusing on that "perils of Pauline" character. (that was Len's only useful contribution Saturday)

This made me laugh!

By the way Lee has just won Newcomer of the Year on the Variety Club Awards to add to his Rear of the Year Award!

Maybe you did!

I have barely read yesterday's paper - no need to get sarky because someone happens not to know your idol! I'm sure all the celebs on this year's show have had newspaper interviews yet only a few on here knew all 14 when they were announced. That's life!

Well if he did I can't recall . I must confess after about half way through I stopped watching; as it was so boring, (imo) I could not stand most of the song choices & I guessed who was gonna win from about the 2nd show :yawn:.

He definitely sang it one of the weeks and he sang it for the final....... a lot better than he did on SCD as well.....they're both on you-tube:

Just watch the Latin world champions again - superb!

Have to agree here, the whole Kate saga was starting to distract from the dancing of other celebs and the competition at times.
Have to say I thought her dance off dance was her best dance yet, she actually put everything into it I thought. I wish she had done that with her salsa instaed of walking through it and I might be able to be a little more enthusiastic about her.

I was at a uni dance comp yesterday and when the compere came on the mic and announced the results there was a huge cheer from several hundred students.

Looks like I should have watched the finals .
Yes he did sing it better there & he had a headmic on so you could see his face properly .
I was hoping Hubby would get me tickets to Joseph & kept dropping hints. Never mind he's paid for us to go & see the SCD tour in Feb so I can't complain, (I gave up on the hints & just asked, he gave me his CC & I booked it myself ).

I can't believe some of the sanctimonious posts on this thread, if you dislike someone... be it Pro or Celeb you are deemed a nasty person for saying so in public. I come on here because I love SCD, but I never take it too serious or to extremes... and I detest preachers...you know the kind...the ones that take their soap box around with them.
Anyway I love Lee Mead, but as someone said I thought that song sounded so much better when he sang it on Joseph. (not my favourite song anyway)

... I think she was probably on serious painkillers and lots of adrenalin! ... but she definitely worked through it for the final dance ... least now it will be about the dancing ... even Kenny has definitely improved, and is a very entertaining dancer ...

... 'tis a shame the dancing didn't improve earlier ... but that's the way it goes I guess ... I'm sure she got a whole lot from the experience ... even if it is just learning that she's never going to make it as a pro dancer!

'tis so strange ... I definitely remember Paint it Black being sung very well on ADWD ... BUT ... I really can't remember Lee having been the one who sang it ... if someone told me Daniel had sung it I'd believe them, even though I was wholeheartedly a Lee supporter ...

Just said this on another thread. ''I'm going to see Lee Mead in 3 weeks'' and after last nights show I can't wait. I loved Paint in Black from ADWD and thought it was great.

Um ....had Daniel sung it, I think you'd find it would have been quite a lot better than that - with no flat notes...........(ducks very hastily)......

It was the most gracious, classy exit this series

I was listening from the kitchen and there were quite a few bum notes

my hubby (a Stones fan) was horrified hahahaha

Ahem - suggest you rephrase. The BBC are being economical with the truth.

LOL! ... Daniel fan huh? ... oh well ... lets hope you've better taste in SCD candidates! *grins*

... Daniel was good, just didn't appeal to me I guess ... and I have to admit to being too mesmerised by the dancing to pay much attention to Lee last night! ... oh well, I'll watch it back later and send you my critique!

Lee has sung that better ... it was a bit 'dull' .... but maybe he was allowing the dancers to shine instead

I'm so sorry I didn't have the stats to hand when Brucie introduced them! Does is really matter that much on this thread??
