Arthur isn't really that good... I think he's trying too hard. If he just sang normally and didn't try to force emotion into the song, he'd be quite good.
Some of these boys (like the kid singing Angels) are cocky, arrogant and stage schoolish. Alot of them are probably educated in private school and come from upper class families. What about the normal working class kids? Stage school kids irritate me so much- they're so fake!
Joseph can sing! But can't act! Also Joseph is in a Posh School! Also he has a black fish called Blackie. Racist or what. Also Arthur shouts now sings, but the 3rd in to the finals he started singing very well. Arthur Gareth and Gwion where all of the BBC'S WEST NEWS TEAM best olivers.
Are you joking when you say that he's racist? Because I really don't think that a boy naming his pet something based on its appearance is racist, I know alot of people who name their pets things because of what they look like.
Hmm... I think Joseph's strength lies in his high notes... If there were more of those (the high notes) in "Oliver", I think he would have gotten the part!
Well, I'm sure that he will learn as he gets older. After all, he's only 9! And he does have some trouble staying in tune, too. He just wasn't ready for the role!
Arthur was better in the live shows & imporved every week, Josephs maintained a high level every week & Kwayedza is bloody amazing but not an Oliver. He'd be fantastic in the Lion King
xHiddenxx i couldnt afree more! when i frist saw this i thought tehre is your oliver..but in the shows....he always seemed so weak but from the auditions i would have chosen him..
Joseph was so much more confident in his audition than the others and he did better than a lot of them, its a shame his potential didn't show through so much on the live shows :(
thoose people who sit here saying that joseph is weak or arthur cant sing well dont you think its contridictry to say that a young boy singing on live tv in a competition for a west end role which they are in the final 12 out of 1000's is weak?or cant sing?their all brilliant!
musicalfan147 - I totally agree! Although, a few of them struggle with the high notes. Which i can totally agree on as it is extremely difficult to sing. I dont think we meen to say some are crap. Its just others are alot better.
Okayyy...arthur had to be good or he wouldn't get picked...i am so glad it's andrew picks the olivers or you'd get people just voting for jonny because they think he's fit etc.
I think andrew knows what he's doing when he picks the olivers for the semis.
theaisthebest1 - i dont think arthur can sing and no im not saying that cause i think hes "ugly" cause he isnt. Not sayin thats what you meen but yeah. I also dont like jonny so yeah.
Joseph's a bit of an enigma here. He sings fairly well - but on the live shows he gets very shouty and seems like the weakest singer. Maybe the songs they choose don't suit his voice, although they are musical songs (which is more than I can say about the Nancys). I didn't know he was only 9 though.
If Arthur can't sing how did he get to the live shows out of the thousands who auditioned?? Yeahh.. he can sing, they all are great singers + actors, + he did not act like a spoilt brat at all.
hmm maybe its because his parents know the guy that puts them in. Not andrew but the other one, and dont get cheeky with me mate. I cant help it if me and thousand other people dont think arthur can sing. Also why is it only me gettin yelled at?
why are you being so argumentative surely if your 16(you said it to me the other day when you were throwing your weight around) your way to old to be arguing with younger children about younger children there all good thats why they got through im not trying to argue with you but you upset me the other day and made me feel stupid!
iluvidina - well im sorry for making you feel stupid. And yeah i am 16. And "throwing my weight around?" i said something. You disagreed with me so i had an explation to say what i said? How is that throwing my weight around. I just dont understand why the other comments about arthur have like +4. And theres mine with like -3. Is it pick on the year old day ay? Bit pathetic really? Please can we just leave it cause they're isnt a reason to argue. Everyone has their own opinions. End off (Y)
I like Gareth, but everybody reacts differently to different things so it's a moot point. Not to mention that they're on TV and some probably don't want to feel like they're showing themselves up.
For what it's worth, I think you misinterpreted the point. He was saying "crowds don't phase me" and "I really want this" not "I'm gonna get this as I'm better than you all".
Jonny, Alex and Chester to win! I really like Jonny though! He has to get through 2moz! I think Kwayedza has a brilliant voice but i dont think he'd be a good oliver.
Actually.. pinkpwincess2007 he got told before he got given the scroll.. they all did because my mate told me + she knows Jordan. He isn't a spoilt little brat, he's a cute + talented kid x
His acting's fine, but he doesn't have that clarity and purity that some of the others have. He's belting it out and will probably do long term damage.
I don't deny he's talented, but his singing is definitely weak compared to all of the others and Oliver is, after all, a musical role. Maybeit's because he puts too much into his singing that it comes across as strained?
BlueeSkyyScape - Hmmm im sure he got thru to the semis for "actin like a team" haa so yeah. The only one that go thru BASED on talent was chester, And btw im not sayin alex or kwayezda CANT sing cause WOW they can!
That has to be the funniest reaction at 2.48
