'Boring' is the way that Daniel is being portrayed. He does not help in that he makes a serious song seem cheesy by smiling like an old time
performer. But showing a clip of him going back to his builder's merchants to finish the filing was a bad move, or was it a ploy? This is not exactly a vote winner, is it? His performance of Will Young's Evergreen was convincingly delivered and he did his best with it. But who chose the song? Even Young, himself refuses to sing this live on stage! There is not much you could have done with it really. Conspiracy theories aside, the filing angle and the awful song did not do this 'pro' any favours.
Serious and keen to win was the message behind the new Lee footage. His song choice was excellent – The Rolling Stones' classic, Paint It Black and he rose to the challenge. He looked like a clear winner from the minute he stepped onto the stage. With equal shades of black and white, he took the show to a new level, with a storming performance. But you couldn't help thinking he had the best song choice tonight.
These three had to team up to sing the Barbra Streisand classic, Don't Rain On My Parade. To be honest, they were all above average. Only Craig looked like a supporting performer though, as the other two led the song to a stirring finish.
Remember the kiss off with John in the show How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria? Well, this time the lads had to woo Denise Van Outen via some spoken song lyrics. Only Lewis delivered with Crazy For You, the others were fairly ropey and unconvincing.
The phone votes provided shock number one; Craig was through! From here on, you knew a favourite would be singing for his supper. The final two were Lewis and Daniel. They both sang an excellent version of Bring Him Home from Les Miserables. Andrew, realising that the audience had lost faith in Daniel, sent him home. Lewis sobbed as Daniel gave up his coat, as did Denise.
It looks clear now who Andrew Lloyd Webber wants to win, it is Lee. But will the public agree? I think that both Ben and Keith have still got a look in. It would be good for a non professional to walk onto the stage, after all.
But as far as this week goes, I agree with the Lord himself, Lee was Joseph! So the pro is left standing tall. What a surprise!
