Ben: Blue Suede Shoes - Any Dream Will Do

[TineDAfromafar]

Oh Ben, it is my quest to support you for the rest of your life (mine will be the shorter one) – although it will be from a somewhat remote location (Denmark)! I go to sleep every night to your version of Next Time You Fall In Love – and I never tire of it.

[TineDAfromafar]

To see him now is pure pleasure, with a national touring experience on his CV (with Michael Ball - check out the Past & Present DVD), singing as clear as heaven, not one note going wrong (it was all a matter of experience in the ADWD competition), with amazing stage presence and some very sexy moves. Not many people can measure up to the king of musicals, Michael Ball, and do it so well (my eyes were drawn to Ben James-Ellis, although I am a dedicated Michael Ball fan of more than 10 years!).

[TineDAfromafar]

When you have seen the perfect eyes, the perfect smile, the perfect nose, perfect teeth, and of course the perfect body, you are sold and there is no return. He was the cutest boy there; now he is the hottest man ever. He was the best of all of them, he had everything against him, with several adorable vulnerabilities, but he fought with honour and perfect composure (so many cry-babies in the ADWD competition! talking back to the panel was just a sign of someone being very young and insecure!).

[TineDAfromafar]

OMG! Ben James-Ellis! Oh my god!! How my heart ached for this beautiful boy. Oh - at the time, to imagine the potential of this magnificent 17-year old and how he was robbed of any decent treatment from a conspiracy panel; to know that an incredible talent was about to unfold; soon-to-be showman of the decade (check out Hairspray and the Michael Ball Tour). How can someone so young be so hot and sexy? - he is gorgeous and incredibly good-looking.

[chrisno27]

I don't know how he got in the bottom two after this performance.

[lauren14loz]

whats hes 2nd name?

i hate the fact that lewis kept on being saved... it really pissed me off!!!<3

[secretadvocate]

His surname is Ellis, but he now performs under the stage name of Ben James-Ellis. He had to adopt the stage name because there already was a Ben Ellis registered in Equity, the theater performers' union. "James" is actually his middle name.

[TheyBastardisedJesus]

@lauren14loz

benjamin james-ellis

[bananatramp]

what did he say to/about andrew lloyd webber that theyre talking about at the end?

[JuicyLucyxXx1]

he was sooooooooooo fit

[jdeppobsession]

love the part between 0:16 and 0:20

[rumpleteazer96]

no he is not,because there is a video called i will do anything and he is kissing a lot of girls in front of their dads,and one dad was a pro wrestler!but i kinda get what your saying cause a few theatrical men are gay,none from here though.

[twinklefudge]

true, however John Barrowman kissed the girls on Nancy, and he's definately not a straight man lol. But you're right, i just thought i'd point it out.

[rumpleteazer96]

ben is so cute

[xxxclixxx]

omg i remember this. it was my fav song that anyone did his overall performance was brill

love you ben

[8gummibear8]

Ben has an absolutely AMAZING voice! AND he's a GREAT dancer. As far as I can see from the clips I've seen, he's the only good thing about Hairspray the Musical. He may not have been right for Joseph but he's still AWESOME!!! And hot! :D

[einsteinwithagun]

Ben AND Micheal Ball! lol

[bananatramp]

ahh i love hairspray too. yep ben/link is def my fav part. though i do love the entire thing. trumps joseph by a mile!

[sietsk]

BEN TO WIN!!!!

[pinkgooner]

What an outstanding solo performance, showing he doesn't only sparkle in the group numbers. He's a star and such a hot one at that.

and fancy seeing you two here twingle and Phoenix ;) Lula x

[Jadieness]

Ben you are AyMayZing! I Want to see you in the West-End, if not Joseph then SOMETHING! x

[xevilxfairyx]

BEN TO WIN. he actually rocks so much! love him xxxxx

[RFCANGEL]

He sang that amazingly. Gave me shivers. He's def one of the best left. He puts on a great performance and has improved so much. :)Him and Keith are my faves :)

[badgirlsisace]

BEN 2 WIN!!! hes fit as ! n a brilliant singer x

[ceejaypee]

While Ben has a lot of talent, I think he auditioned for the wrong show, he should of auditioned for GREASE, he'd of probably won that...

[bambos22]

Best performance to date. He truly has star quality. Full of confidene

[marlyly]

true - despite all his talent, I just can't see him as Joseph, he doesnt seem right for the part!

[xGangOfOnex]

oooh who to choose!

My head says Lee, great, proffesional and reliable but my heart says Ben who just oozes star quality!

[marlyly]

so does Lee though

[alison132007]

i NO hes meant 2 wear the shoes but theyre ugly ne way thts beside the point nd its my opinion tht he sucks so ther :P

[FootieChick12]

Ben's really really improved from the start, He's doing great.

[LawrieMarlow]

In the complete and utter travesty that was last night's show, there were still two things to be thankful for. The first was Lee's OUTSTANDING performance, the second was the blossoming of Ben - what a performer he has turned into!

[alison132007]

wats travesty

[marlyly]

I thought the rest of teh show was OK, but I agree, Ben and Lee really shone out. I'm not that big a fan of Ben but this performance was top notch. and Lee was, as you say, outstanding.

[twingle53]

At last people are seeing the real potential of Ben - can't wait for next week's song. Go Ben Go you are a star

[justcuteme]

what a little hottie he is so fit! love it at 2.00 minutes where he does tht thing with his fit ass

[ZdPhoenix]

Can't believe how far he's come. I can't wait until next week's performance! (and hopefully many more!)

[alison132007]

ohmeegaaaa why do people like him hes just a loosa this song shounds like blue cluess and at 2:00 he looks like his takin the piss wtf is he doin wif his arse! also the shoes are ugly

[xevilxfairyx]

Aww he's gorgeous and he's sposed to be naughty in this vid! hehe oooh but we'll see a different side of him next week and I can't wait!!

[alison132007]

yes hes SUPOSED 2 b nuaghty

[xevilxfairyx]

YES HE IS! Hehehehehhehehhehehehehheheheh­he it's the song! x

[katiewhite27]

Ben is great hes from my town!!! hes by far the best actor and has the stage presence!

[xTunafishx]

Ben is becominmore of a Joseph every episode! His voice is getting stronger, his stage presence is dominating and he can actualy do routines whilst singing (hardly any of the others can do proper routines, just a bit of prancing here and there). He can definatly handle Jospeh, seeing as Jospeh really only gets 2 solo songs and a few other lines here and there.

[xevilxfairyx]

Ah well he has a slower song next week so let's see what happens, i reckon the last 3 would be keith, Lee and Ben. . .

[alison132007]

i hope not! ben is just over the top

[xevilxfairyx]

Well Lewis nor Craig can do any better!

[marlyly]

^ yup, and I think it will be Ben and Lee to battle it out. Personally, I just want Lee to win that ickle bit more.

[xevilxfairyx]

Lee's good and everything, but I just don't like him but I think there's more of a chance he'd win than anyone else. Anyways, it'll probably be Lee and Keith in the finals waahaa. Just fingers crossed Ben will do well this week =]

[marlyly]

personally, I don't see what the fuss is about Keith. I'd rather have Ben win it than Keith, even if I don't think Ben fits the role of Joseph perfectly.

[xevilxfairyx]

Oh phew! Keith has awsome vocals but he annoys me grr him and his teeth >:( Yeh I want Ben to win just cos Keith bores me now, but I heard that Ben's finding it hard to get the high notes in his song this week right :( If it's really bad, we could b saying goodbye to him *hmph* Gawd I hate Craig so much...

[marlyly]

I think Ben's been building up quite a large fan base, so hopefully they'll still keep him in. Do you know what song he's singing this week??

[xevilxfairyx]

Well I saw this clip of him rehearsing but they cut the sound out but I worked out the words- "Right Here". . . any ideas? Well him and Keith are my fave but I'll only vot for ben cos I know he needs every vote and Keith's more popular.

[rockchick900]

ben or keith to win.

another ray quinn i love them both.

[laurs21]

i love ben 2 bits he shuld definatly win an after dis performance i think he might be good 2 do jail house rock!!!

[xevilxfairyx]

Reminds me of Ray Quinn but of course Ben is so much cuuter!

[carly2909]

What a showman he certainly knows how to entertain the crowd!! Ben 4 Joseph!!!!! x

[xxKateZxx]

Ben 2 win luv his voice not 2 mention his body hes so sexy n hes DEFINATLY JOSEPH!!!(he betta win cuz im getting tickets 4 joseph n i dont wont a crap man 2 win)

[Munchie1991]

ben or keith!!! who to choose??!!?!?!!

[xevilxfairyx]

I'm having the same problem, I want Ben to win but I think Keith would go just a bit further in the competition. . . =[

[Munchie1991]

i just dont mind which one wins!! but i reli want it to be keith or ben!!!

[stroodle222]

He must now be the favourite to win. He's young, good looking and masculine, interprets the music brilliantly, great voice (even when moving around the stage)and you can't help but watch him (star appeal). Plus its not easy to do this genre of music, which I hate BTW. His performance last week when he sung 'Help Yourself' was the best by any 'Joseph' thus far (IMHO).

[marlyly]

I love this performance by him, but I still don't think he looks the part. I don't know, i just can't really imagine him as Joseph.

[lillyteenie]

BEN or CRAIG? CRAIG or BEN?

Oh My Lord (<- ALW)! Can there be 2 Josephs...London and New York?

[xevilxfairyx]

Ben all the way!!

[xGangOfOnex]

great performance. he should be on the Grease show. he'd walk it.

[musicals9]

I thought Ben did a great job with this song. So much of this show is about the song they give each guy. Daniel would have done a great job with this song and choreography. Lee would have done it right. Lewis would have looked akward.

[JARM43]

Another fantastic performance from Ben. This boy really has it!!!!!

[xevilxfairyx]

He's amaazing! Once he comes out onto the stage you can't take your eyes off him! Can't wait til next week!!!

[steelxmagnolia]

Ben's really come far since that oh-so-great sing off a few weeks ago! My my! He's jazzed!!
