Lee Mead - Paint it Black

[bbmonkey14]

I remember thinking that he should have had the role of Raul, not been an understudy, but then I found out that Ramin Karimloo was Raul when Lee was his understudy and I understood. But still, I love him.

[Spiceykate11]

@bbmonkey14 No he would not have been Ramin's understudy because at that time Ramin was playing The Phantom. Lee was in the national tour of Miss Saigon in which Ramin played Chris and he was the understudy. Ramin played Raoul in 2003.

[bbmonkey14]

@bbmonkey14 Ah! Thank you. Knowledge. I now have some. It's really interesting too...

[Spiceykate11]

@bbmonkey14 And they are friends as well :)

[bbmonkey14]

@Spiceykate11 I know. It's so cute; it makes them seem like real people...haha.

[hmfrx]

lee is perfection!

"i think he's taking this too seriously" well he won the role didnt he, mwahaha! :D

[Medusa0999]

This is the song that won the competition for him

[michaeljacko123]

ooooooooohhhhhh :) hot :)

[DreamWeaversSpell]

Like if you saw him in casualty and you think he was AWESOME! ^_^

[pennydesouza]

I had forgotten all about Lee Mead and this show! It was SO obvious he was going to win - he was FAR more handsome and talented than the others. I also love that he was taking it so seriously.

[Elriaen]

I can remember watching this and knowing he'd win.

[TheRichmaster24]

1:35 to skip to the song

[charlotte101719]

Incredible.......Lee, you are one talented guy and hot as hell!!

[DontSigh]

I always preferred many of the others to him(read: I didn't like him) but however much I try, I can't not love this performance.

[bekkibiller]

[ANGELOFMUSICify]

I LOVE YOU LEE!!! :)

[Jaceoface1]

This reminds me of David Hasselhoff.

[TwiHardGirl]

@jeffdarga1 Yes. Seeing as he won, obviously he can't sing. Obviously.

[BonkersBecca1995x]

[chazmazzer]

He sleeps with onions next to his bed? Nice.

[gummie1066]

[GreenDayHamster]

[callmebabs1]

@allWLove Chill out! Only they run the words together...

[SnapCrackleKABOOM]

LEA MEAD IT FANTABULOUS!

[L0LPaNDAbeaR]

Joooseph zooneee

[zacefron4ever123]

[hmfrx]

the intro was just YES <3 and the singing was heavenly :) i love him with a passion!

[cltb1]

the best by a looooooooong way, still love watching this

[KatThorne]

I love the look on lewis' face at the end. He knows he will never be that good :)

[fluteyhorse]

lee is SOOOOO hot... but not nearly as hot as BILL KAULITZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no offense of course

[chrisno27]

Ben is a hottie.

[ilovefiyero]

the next fiyero yum yum

loving lewis "i try so hard to laugh but its not funny"

[OneBaggio1994]

so many folk have covered this song but none of them compare to the original

[strikenite114]

This is the first time I've ever been able to understand the words to this song. He did a really good job.

[Melodramatisch]

the intro of this song was wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jowb22]

better then the old intro bich i made that change fag

[alisha1lisle2]

lee is fucking sexy

[oboegirl12345]

love this so much!

[MrAlanFlint]

It is on his album.

[xalicehayesx]

:D :D :D :D

[xXellieDXx]

love this version

lee is awesome!!!

[Yurikofirefly]

lol, I think I may be slightly obsessed..

[babywabyabc]

haha if you talk about obsessed--- my sis bought me surprise tickets to see him in London. I screamed the whole time, bought a badge and keyring waited ages to get his autograph (and when I did I screamed the place down so much he looked a bit scared lol) and I now have it framed with a a signed pic he gave me and the original Joseph tickets. So I see where you are coming from :-)

[MuseGirl411]

He does an amazing job with this song. I liked Lewis' personality better, but Lee was the best out of the group.

[Flipup2]

I haven't seen this in ages, still good

[ohhappy08]

God i love him :D

[Akaichou123]

I think his only real drawback is his rather strong lisp.

[psychobad695]

Y didn't he record this song i luv his voice wiv the song

[atlpem]

he did record it. It's on his first album, but it's a different arrangement.

[keyzee29]

love lee!

[cosettexxxfirearch]

wow! so briliant! god i love Lee!! :)

lol, and the beginning bit!! haha!

[shihtzulover24]

the intro made me laugh so hard!

[thomas120193]

Roy is niet slecht, aalleen zijn "accent" stoort heel veel mensen!

[NoudMartens1992]

ja die rare R van boven de sloot zoals ze dat in brabant zeggen

[FeyenoordChick12]

Roy & lee zijn super

[DirectorLarkin]

He sings this song well-but NO ONE can beat Mick at it, Mick makes this song what it is, he is so Awesome, a legend that will always stay one!

[naughtynaomi9000]

cant baleeve that the irish girl...jessie-didnt win the nancy fing,,she was well gd!! better than the fat josie woman.grr.

[babywabyabc]

i know. Jessie Buckley all the way!

[miynu16]

lee is veel beter dan roy

vergelijk ze maar

your choise

[0240808]

Ja maar Roy is gewoon slecht..

[vonstarksky]

so glad lee won

[dalglishtheking1]

gareth gates are they actually hacing a laugh?

[jack6682]

mmm, guess you can put everything on you tube. Whats this??????????

[tokiohotelsandra]

ROYISBETER!(A)

ILVEROY<3

[Eeeemxx]

I think if you imagine roy's presentation with the lights Lee had, it would have been less spectacular. Lee's just got a stronger voice. Or lee with the lights that Roy had! Omgosh, that would have been amazing!

[pompidom86]

yeah Lee with the lights that Roy had!!! That must be amazing!

[Chocsii]

So glad he won! he was amazing as joseph.

A bit dissappointed that he leaves on the 10th jan and that Gareth gates is taking over. pffft no patch off lee.

[looi1000]

too right =) Completely agree with you there

[Grootmagisteres]

ze doen wel veel liedjes hetzelfde als in Nederland!

of nou ja, wij doen er veel van hun na..

[THMulder]

another Idol rip off...whattt thhheee fuckkkk

[xfarmxgirlx]

I try so hard to laugh but...its..just...not....funny­. Rofl :p.

I'm in the zone, the Joseph zone.

Agh they are all so hot xD.

[johnfinbarburke]

i think this is a interssting version off the stones ..

[hollylouisebrockwell]

Better than than the original, despite originally adoring the original.

[XxlaughxlivexlovexX]

im so silly

im so silly sR

[stijlwijf]

Roy is super!!! Vote for Roy!!!

maar Lee is ook super hoor!!!

heb de britse serie gevolgd

hij was echt super

ben naar londen gegaan, heb zijn show gezien.

Als de nederlandse Joseph het ook zo goed doet, dan wordt het een HIT HIT HIT!!!!

[Ralfius]

Roys versie vind ik toch beter

[xPuckje]

Ik niet. Roy zijn optreden zag er misschien leuker uit door alle lichten en dat was gewoon heel vet. Maar als je roy dit laat zingen met deze lichten dan is het al veel minder spectaculair en dan zie je duidelijk dat Lee een veel betere stem heeft. En veel zekerder is. Maargoed ieder zijn mening..

[pakeenkansje]

Freek is the best in holland!

[0Roosa0]

You're right! haha :'D

[Daphneej]

Freek is the sweetest boy ever! I met him at Les Miserables (and when on a picture of course) and even though he was veeeerryyyyyy tired, he was nice to the fangirls :D

Woot woot!

[AnnikaaaW]

ik vond dat roy dit liedjes beter zong..maar lee mead is wel echt super! echt mooie stem

[beartje]

In Holland we have FREEK! He's joseph, i hope (A)

[xMxaud]

Freek is soooooo goood!! He's very good!!

[channiej1993]

Woooh, he is very good! I think he was the best of all. In Holland we're still searching for Joseph, so I hope there will be such a good one as Lee!

[Rebecca0611]

I really think Freek is going to win. At least I hope so!

[Judith080391]

I hope Freek is going to win too! But Lee is so much better!

[Rebecca0611]

Ik vind wel dat Lee's uitspraak slechter is. Maar dat is iedereen zun eigen mening!

[0Roosa0]

Haha, ja nederlands praten gaat wat makkelijker hè :p

[Rebecca0611]

Haha jah af en toe lukt het niet helemaal:P

[DafBnTs]

Ben ik mee eens, maar daar vind ik juist de charme van hem in zitten.

[sammybear15]

he is cte and he is great in joesph in the west end epicalling when he is half nakered

sammybear15

[stijlwijf]

Lee is so good

I saw him last week as Joseph!!!

And it is one of the best shows I saw in my life!!

You are great!!

greetz from Belgium!!

[miesmarie]

what a body what a voice.....

[iluvGERARDWAY4ever]

lee rocks!i go 2 the same high school as he went 2!

[penfolddolly1]

Chill Out! Hehe, Bless Him :)

[tarabethanluver]

its like-wow!!!!

[joyofscotland]

lol ur jokin rite?

[KezWasHere]

Um actually I´m not. You mean he´s still in this same musical? :O

[atlpem]

He has extended his contract to play Joseph until January 2009. He still plays to a full house at most perfomances. He is also recording his second album.

[KezWasHere]

Okay, thanks!

[KezWasHere]

What´s Lee doing these days, btw?

[xMcFlyStarGirlRiax]

he's playing joseph you dweeb

[naughtynaomi9000]

and making albums singing n stuff.

[Sweetraphaella]

I lv lee i tink hes fab

[MusicalRasj]

Sexy ánd funny. And most suprisingly: musical-wonder and he isn't gay...a wonderfull man this Lee, brilliant! love him

[QueenShebaVIII]

The first time I heard this song was when he sang it here! I love that song and he sang it really well! I actually wanted Keith to win, but I'm glad Lee Mead won, he deserved it! :D

[beartje]

Love Lee. He's fantastic <3 I hardly can't wait for the dutch version of joseph!

[iainshields]

He's cut the balls off this song

[mcflynuts1]

CHILLOUT

[bryonythompson]

better than the stones! but then again, thats not hard......

Love You Lee!!

[hellohello19911991]

this is the song that made him

[sstruffle]

I must say that was awesome but does the word "emo" come into anyone's head when they hear this song?

[Vistaok]

i know wat u mean its the whole "black" thing its a bit depressing but its still a reali gd song!!

[sabretoothtiger100]

Lee is is brill

[videogodess]

I love him.

[SLMRlu]

my bro saw him yesterdayy and got an autograph made out to me cant wait til 12th august going to see Joseph for the 2nd time!!!

love his version of this song

x

[defenderofbacon]

This is one of the only covers of the songs thats really good imo. Probably because the music and lyrics stick very close to the original. No need to change perfection ;)

[NatzTaylor]

Chillout!!!!

[fionaallan]

CHILIA!!!

[optien41]

Saw Lee as Joseph. Brilliant!

Took the mrs to meet him afterwards.... oh dear........ i feel quite inadequate.....

[vivamarc]

Le is soooooo talented :)

[ShLinGyPoPsIcLes]

im so glad this guy won...he totally deserved it...

[22Beffy22]

I wanna see the show soooooo bad but I live in GA.

[dbutton1]

init man its soooo out of order!!! : - I

[iontachdeas]

i LOVE lee!!!! im from Dublin so i wanna get over to see him in London

[Whitewall08]

He was the best singer in this song by a country mile . This was his best song in the show in my humble opinion .

[babywabyabc]

and I love him!

[babywabyabc]

he still avoided the whole onion question

[starsinthenight1]

this song is just AMAZING he sang it so well and that is what made him WIN the role of joseph and people who havent seen him yet you must go he is FANTASTIC OMG I LOVE LEE

[lostgirl75]

Yep, I voted like 30 times and went to the show in Sep.....was a birthday gift from my hubby....bless him.....considering i only wanted to go and drool!!! But seriously, he was FANTASTIC.....even better vocally than during the series. I would love to go again as I was in one of the back rows of the stalls and not nearly close enough!!!!!

[SLMRlu]

i voted for lee and when i went to see it in london the show was immense.i have to go again... has anyone else seen it and loved it..?

[seanbeanishot]

Me and my mate went down to London to see Lee in Joseph and he was off sick with bronchitis! We were gutted! Lewis played Joseph and he was fantastic. Have just seen the on tour version in Liverpool with Craig-he was brill,so were Keith and Chris. We are intending to go to London again....hopefully Lee will be ok this time!

[undergroundsilence]

he was awesome in this i havent had a chance to see joseph yet but i think this is what stole the show for him.

[SLMRlu]

i saw it u really should! it was actually awesome

[Bombalurina18]

"The Joseph zone" :D

[jellybeanzgobounce]

I love his hair - it's soooooooo gorgeous!! All cute and curly! Thanks so much for doing this KissMeOff !!

[Aimzinian]

[velvetrevolution07]

Lee Mead! Corr... he's so fit, I soooooo would :P

[babywabyabc]

[pammy1989]

i am in love with this man, his voice gives me shivers : ) my amazing boyfriend took me to see him in the show a couple of weeks ago and he was A-MAYZZING!i had to grab my boyfriends leg when he came on the stage!

[Alwaysbubble]

I went to see him in Joseph a couple of weeks ago. He did signing afterwards and we got autographs and pictures etc. He is absolutely amazing and I'd go a hundred times more if I could afford it!

[MrsPoynter4eva]

where did he come out?

i went to see it last december and went to the stage door but he didnt come out. im going again soon and i reli wanna meet him.

[Alwaysbubble]

Just out the front of the theatre. They set up the ropes and he came out with his bodyguard person! Have a great time again!

[Duddykins]

I went to see him in Joseph last thursday! He was awesome! There are simply no words to describe how brilliant he was!!!!

[ninaballerina13]

ahhh soooo good!

[lollipopomara]

theres ticket information on the joseph website.. it depends where you sit.

dearest are 50 or 55 i think

just look on the website

x

[anna258]

Hey guys, do you know how much the tickets costed when you bought them??

[GREENHOUSES]

Just booked tickets to see him perform- row e in the stalls- cant wait!!

i love this song!!

[MissKartikus]

Lucky. The best I could get when I went to see it was row R of the stalls. *jealous* lol

[gilliangvideo]

Julianakum, check your messages.

[Julianakun]

Does anyone have "When Joseph Met Maria" ? Even just a clip?

[rufusjetaime]

I like the fact he's not trying to do a jagger on this. He's doing a theatrical performance/ adaptation and pulls it off very well!

[hannahmai]

Saw him a few weeks back in London.

and he was AMAZING.

[jemmajemma]

he sang this amazingly...i loved it.... i love him and he's the best joseph ever amazing saw him yesterday.... lee i love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

[devil220077]

omg that comment is just not right he is a brilliant singer and this song suits him so well so point out 2 reasons y lee mead is not a brilliant singer and if hes boring y u watching him i dunt mean to be mean or owt soz if i offend any1

[ClappingForChlamydia]

absolutely boring to watch him sing. no intensity whatsoever.

[leobisian5]

If you can sing better than him and that powerfully, i'd be impressed.

[leemeadisthebest]

how can you say that theres no intensity- it's a very tense performance

[socratea10]

Why r u watching it then??!! u need yr eyes tested!!

[MajorThud]

I really love what he did with the song here. Very powerful.

[bevster68]

get in my zone :)

[Spangledo]

tbh, i prefer the original 'paint it black' song...

[rockonlilone07]

Rawr! He's So God Damm Sexy!

[gembee89]

He is so god damn SEXY!!

this song is perfect for his gorgeous voice and body!!

He performed this song on Saturday!!

xx

[discolights]

Saw him yesterday in Joseph, he was awesome!!

[marlyly]

I saw him a few weeks back - was so happy to FINALLY hear him sing Close Every Door - he didn't dissapoint one bit!

[jelliebee]

amazin voice and love the song. saw him in joseph and he was just perfect.

[freaky9chick]

He's so amazing as Joseph.
