  • mmmmmmmmm :)

  • No one seems to have noticed Lee fluffed up and came in a bar early when he sings "instead of government we had a stage". I'm not criticising, in fact I think it shows both his professionalism and Lewis' - Lewis waiting for that bar, Lee not being put off by his mistake. Just strange that few people have commented, you Tube is the harshest audience after all!

  • @lucylourocksyoursock It's actually Lewis who fluffed up on the previous line 'state to be in...' - he didn't hold 'in' on long enough, which threw the timing off for Lee coming in on the next line.

    Incidentally, I felt that Lee didn't get the credit he deserved for that performance. For me, he really 'got' the Che character and understood the lyrics he was singing. I was never completely convinced by Lewis.

  • I love what they're wearing!!!

  • I loved this performance, but the bit that made it amazing for me was the look on lees face when he sings 'not much to ask for'. That man is amazing in both singing and acting, and I really really want to see him live!

  • I love it when Lee sings 'ave paron'

  • Both of them are good enough to have lasting careers but this song and video show why Lee had the edge. His masculinity is so fierce. His voice has a deeper, darker edge and stronger support -- he can hold a note longer and with more intensity. His eyes are like lasers -- he's thinking as well as singing. And when he stalks the stage, there's a sense that he knows what he's physically capable of, on the street and in the bedroom. That's what made it impossible to take your eyes off him.

  • Great.

  • Lee won the whole thing with this number. Lee tried to engage Lewis throughout, Lewis was good but he never connected with Lee, despite Lee's efforts. That is where the experience really showed. Lee was willing to share some spotlight. Lewis, beautiful as he is, came across selfish, the one thing you can never be on a stage..

  • @paulbranc Lee was more generous while on stage with people. He could still dominate but share -- not acting as though the others do not exist, as Lewis so often seemed to do.

    Lewis was flashy. He and the camara had a great relationship: he knew how to draw attention and seemed to seek the camara out always.

  • @magssenible59 But, saying that, I think Lewis does connect with the audience more, which you need if you are going to be on a stage.

  • What is this program called?

  • any dream will do

  • I likes Lewis but I don't like him in this song!It's not suited to him!And when he sings, well says "crying eva peron" its quite cringey! i did love him in general though! Andrew obviously wnated him as joseph as he kept on saving him! xxx

  • He wasn't very good though. When he sang against Daniel Boyce in the sing off it was blatently obvious that Daniel was the more accomplished singer and actor.

  • Lee would be an awesome Che.

  • love this song,,!! <3

  • the blonde guy looks like celine dion lmaoo but fitter

  • You know, I just noticed - the Josephs had their mics on the left side of their face whereas the Nancys had theirs on the right! How strange :/ But I loved this performance. Both Lee and Lewis were brilliant :D

  • What is Lewis doing these days?

  • hes doing the Andrew Loyd Webber birthday bash in hyde park on sunday and i think hes doing panto

  • he was also Lee's understudy for Joseph and performed in his place while Lee was on holiday. I wasnt a huge fan of Lewis on the show but I saw him as Joseph and he was actually amazing!

  • lewis should of won

  • Lewis is awsome!!! =] <33333333333333333333333333333­333333333333333333333333333333­3333333333333333333333 + 76642468478249394595889330292-­1 shmexiness hehe =]

  • lee is the sexiest man alive!

  • The thing I thought was so lovely about this is that they wern't trying to upstage each other. Aw. They were so wicked, I miss Any Dream Will Do. Lewis should have been the runner up no doubt

  • You know that line, when Lee says "Not much to ask for". I could just marry him right there and then! haha :D

  • These two sing so well together. Lewis should have been second. But I loved both of them, although I really wanted Lewis to win. (:

  • i've seen lee as joseph he's AMAZING, the public definetly chose the right Joseph! =]

  • i went to see both of them in joseph and i have to say lewis was about 1000 times better and we met him after the show he was so lovely

    !

  • I went to see him last week too - he was so lovely and kind after the show, and such a brilliant performer in Joseph!

  • Lewiiiiiiiiis!!!!

    I'm learning this song now so I know how hard it is 2 sing like that.

  • so am i!!

  • lewis should have been 2nd.

  • I wasn't a Lee or Lewis fan but i have to say this was amazing!!

  • I didn't like Lewis as Joseph when he toured over here. But Keith was a damn good narrator.

  • Yay, now I'm doubly excited :D :D :D!

  • Cryiy, you're going to LOVE Lewis as Joseph! I saw him on Saturday; he was absolutely amazing!

  • Same here RoseTylerxx, and thats not true amze1 :(. I love Lewis, he's great! Lee's good too but I s'pose we all have different tastes and favourites! I can't wait till I go and see Lewis as Joseph in March, when he's covering for Lee whilst Lee's on holiday. WOOT!

  • Lucky person. I'm glad I have people who agree with me, I've been fighting people since Lewis was kicked out that he was the best. I've begged my mum to take me to see Lewis in Joseph as an early 18th or late 17th birthday present but she's defiant I'm getting obesessed over nothing special. So yeah, Lewis does turn me on!

  • Poor u, I've been fighting exactly the same battle with people I know. I'm lucky as my mum got me the tickets as an 18th birthday present, as the shows a week after my birthday will be, although she also teases me about being 'obsessed' on a regular basis. But hey, he is just such a great performer, and so lovely with it :D. I keep watching his performances over and over again, especially this one. I hope you have more luck in finding a way to see the show!

  • Btw 01duffj is my stepsis's account, i accidentally used it instead of this to reply to your comment RoseTylerXX

  • lewis a dress away from actually being a girl...

    lee all the way

  • When Lewis goes 'She had style...' I just melt...SEXY!

  • wow, they are amazing together! they actually both have great voices, although I think Lee acted it more than Lewis. :D

  • does anyone else think that lee looks sexy walking down those stairs???

  • Lee looks sexy all the time

  • i know!! but everytime he walks down those stairs is just fantastic!!

  • Yeah i can see where your coming from. Hes absolutly gorgeous. I also love Lewis and Keith them too were so adorable!!!

  • brilliant

  • I love them both! :D They're amazing, but Lewis... kinda beats :D

  • I love the bit where lee's on the stairs and he turns and looks at lewis and says eva peron

    <3 .. i love them :)

  • 00:20 

    not good

  • Love lee's expression at "Oh what an exit..."

  • The acting is brilliant

  • I loved them both =] But i slightly prefered lewis ! He is so Cute

    but lee is still amazing

  • Wow. Lee has such a powerful voice. Lewis is amazing considering hes only 18. Love them both!

  • Lewis and Lee are so amazing in this! And the comments about lewis are so true in this - he truly becomes a west end star from this performance.

  • wow, this is amazin!! XD

  • Oh and Lee is much much better here! This was the first time I saw Lewis as being able to have a possible future in musical theatre- however Lee is a far better actor, his voice is 10 times as better and Lewis always seems to have these OTT gestures where he lifts up his arms in a strange way... he'll improve with age and time he just needs more experience

  • I met lee yesterday!!!!!!!!!

  • Lucky you! very good performance! love his face when he says 'Peron'

  • Agree with skelton321- Lee was the only 1 that could have been Joseph- So what if he was a pro ... Lewis was too young, inexperienced, acted way 2 OTT and had very little stage presence IMO. He will get better but atm he couldn't have handled 8 shows a week! Lee had been an understudy 4 ages and wasn't being recognised by producers like BK- this competition was just as good 4 him than any of the others because it has kickstarted his career- he is now a leading man not an understudy!

  • he starts the very first note out of tune XO

  • Lewis was definitely the best performer here! He has more stage presence and his voice is stronger, yet sweeter - it was a mistake that Lewis wasn't Joseph just because he was only 18! It was really unfair for him, if he's got this far, to the final, then, being so young, he deserved to win!

  • totally disagree that lewis was the best here. And as for having more stage presence, Lee has more stage presence than any of the other contestants. Lee was definately the overall best performer. I know a few Lewis fans and they have all said since that Lee was the right man and that lewis would have cracked with the presuure of 8 shows in the west end each week. With the reviews Lee has got i dont think you can say that someone else deserved to win!!

  • That's not fair! It's only mt opinion! I THINK that Lee had an unfair advantage, but let me stress that THIS IS ONLY MY OPINION! How do you know Lewis would have cracked under the pressure? I'm sorry but Lewis was such a charming sweet guy and he is always so nice and friendly to people, he has such a lovely personality. In this performance he really shone, so much that in teh comments afterwards, Andrew Lloyd Webber was a bit lost for words! I will always defend Lewis - because he rocks!

  • ok fair enough if thats your opinion but Lee didnt have an unfair advantage because there were no rules saying that professionals couldnt join. Plus all of the others have performing art qualifications anyway. Also as Lee and the judges said many times, he just happened to be the only professional that made it to the last 12, there were plenty of professionals in previous rounds!!

  • Alright, calm down! What about Daniel? He was a proffesional as well, Lee wasn't the only one! After seeing and hearing them perform live in front of me, I'll say that they were all extremely good (well, all except for maybe Rob and Seamus?!) I don't care what anyone says, having met and spoken to Lewis in person, he is still my favourite and I wish him all the best for the future, because it won't be long before we see his name in lights...

  • Ok, let me just start by saying that I live in the US and didn't follow this series at all.

    The fact that he is "always so nice and friendly to people" and that he has a lovely personality make him a good person and perhaps easy to work with, but that doesn't mean that he should win a performance competition. I understand the sentiment, but what it comes down to is who can deliver the goods onstage. (Which, judging by this video, I'd have to go with Lee.)

  • without so many hand expressions Lewis could have made this a perfect duet and he sings webber very clear. i really like the "she had a style" and when Lee sings "the smoke from the funeral clears" there's a great intensity between them. then again without lee to play against lewis would be nothing! LEE ROCKS and deserved his standing ovations but lewis should have come 2nd (keith was 2 arrogant!)

  • Lee was made for the part of Chi!! Oh my goodness he's just perfect!

  • It's Che, and yes he is.

  • Leave my pet Lewis alone. I think he was better than Lee here. He was clearer. And he's so pretty! *Hugs*

  • Don't you jus love the way Lee says 'Per-on' lol sooo hot -can't wait to see him!

  • TOTALLY! Lee is LUUURVE.

  • I always found Lewis very girly so wasn't at all surprised at reports he was seen at the GAY club once he hit 18 - feel sorry for all the little girls that were into him big time tho.I remember my Mum when she found out about Rock Hudson poor thing!!

  • You say that like he should be condemned for it.

  • If i remember correctly i had lots of pre-teens hassling me re Daniel being gay and one in particular who was aggressive in the extreme towards Lee (those my top 2 incidentally)and this remark shut her up instantly cos Lewis was 'it' as far as she was concerned!!I have no probs with gay folk at all some of my friends are.Did you see anything of Daniel?His version of Close Every Door stunning.

  • No... I live in the US and never followed this show. Is it on youtube?

  • Yes it is almost all on here now plus judges comments just search Any Dream Will Do.Kazmiller is the best user to look at her vids are more complete.Daniel just fab i'll leave you to see for yourself!

  • always loved Lee to bits but must admit Lewis was OK here.....although overshadowed massively by Lee's voice.... acting....and sex appeal....and eyes......bla, bla!!!

  • Lewis was awful! Lee was captivating as usual! Those EYES!

  • lov it

  • Hey. Does anyone know how to download the videos form you tube into a harddrive????

  • vixy

    google it and its the first option.

    (it wont let me write an URL)

    [= it works sometimes.

  • lewis looks well orange lol probably his best performance eva thou well done 2 lee thou x even thou i wanted ben 2 win

  • Personally, I think that this was the best performance that Lewis put in and definately my fave of the many "group" numbers. They were both fantastic. I was sorry that Lewis went out in third place, he is a talented young guy. Keiths voice grates on me, but the best man definately won!

  • Lee wonderful as always!I don't lke Lewis' quavery voice it's like an old man's and he's only just 18 and i didn't realise how BAD it was 'til he ruined Close Every Door on the cd..bummer.

  • Theres a Cd?????

  • yer completly agree lewis ruins the song personally i think it should have been lee keith and ben and there voices would have gone together better. but isnt lee good at the end!

  • wats on the cd??

  • on lee's single u mean?

  • yeh dnt worri i alredy found out

  • Truly, sincere thanks for posting this.

  • Lewis over-pronounces his words, and comes in late at one point, but this was his best performance. Lee was great (I love Keith)

  • do u mean at about 1.22/23? coz lee came in late

  • lewis comes in late at 2:36

  • wow. Lee's voice is just fantastic in this. Although Lewis was very good too I thought that Lee outperformed him. I just love his voice (and everything else about him lol)

  • i love youtube... everyone's so friendly...

    my opinion is lewis outshone lee! but im probably not allowed 2 say tht =]

  • I love this so much, in my opinion Lewis was brilliant in this, and in my opinion, better than Lee. Lee's great, but Lewis has a far better ability to work with an audience and really act a song when he has his heart in it. I just don't think puts his 'heart' across in his performances nearly as well as Lewis. I love him so much, I have no doubt that he will get into theatre and become a famous star too.

  • they were brill together i loved this duet lee was the best

  • This is fab! Lewis shocked me in this performance by being really good and actually acting it but Lee (as always) was better because he is so good at acting and performing! xx

  • Yes this was the first time I saw Lewis fit for the theatre. I really enjoyed this duet and I hope Lee and Lewis will do another duet sometime in future. In the end though Lee was definetely the right choice. He is a true musical star.

  • love it

  • Great to see both Lewis and Lee sing together, My mind new Lee would win but Lewis had my heart think there both fab,

  • im going to see his porformance soon, i already got the tickets. costs me 40 quid each person : O but i cant fucking wait

  • love this song

  • No that's Lewis..

  • Lee in those jeans, my oh my

  • I absolutely LOVED this!

    Lewis <3

    Thanks for posting [=

  • DuckEggBlu I don't know if you actually know this song but Lewis did a better job at it then Lee did! Lee even went wrong at 02.43. Not that I think Lee is bad or anything it's just I think that Lewis did a better performance than Lee here and he certainly didn't "reverted back to his pop ways" Lewis should have been with Lee in the final! Not Lee and Keith!

  • That would make sense if Lee was actually singing at 02:43 ;)

  • yy?

  • lol I luv it wen lewis says EVA PERONT 1:40-1

  • lewis should have won he was the best out of all of them

  • Yea, right?! Lee's class blasted the other 2 away

  • no No No No

  • Erm I think you'll find Lee is a better actor and has more experience, all the theatre professionals wanted Lee to win as well

  • i love this song for some reason = \

  • They should have done more songs like this! Lewis really upped his game here, almost keeping up with Lee until the tempo change when he reverted back to his pop ways sadly. Lee was brilliant, check his face at 00.43!

  • Cute!

  • I'd love to see him play this part - Che in Evita - so much more for him to get his teeth into than Joseph.

  • I love this song :) Specailly from 2;14 (And I love Lee!!!)

  • so agree, just phenomenal! and i dont even like evita!

  • Lee is fantastic as always, but Lewis gave a brilliant performance there.

  • Lee is perfect

  • Lee sounds so much more mature, it is really emphasised in this song! He so deserved to win! =]

  • LEE is hot lewis is a fag Lee is the hottest guy in the world and yes i am in love with him

  • what a nasty comment to make about Lewis...i'm sure there were better 'criticisms' you could have made..

  • yeh hes great but lewis is such a sweetheart. i prefer lee but thats a bit harsh about lewis!

  • I love this song - and Lee is AMAZING!!!! So glad he won...

  • LEE WON!!!! He was the best all the way through!

  • he is amazing!!! he soooo improved this week!!!!

    if you want lewis to win then PLEASE vote bcoz keith and lee have never been in the sing-off, and are obviously more popular. SO IF YOU WANT LEWIS TO WIN THEN PLEASE VOTE TO KEEP HIM IN!!!!

  • GO LEE! :D Cant wait till tonight! Im going to miss the show :( Im definatly (sp?) going to see the show (which of course Lee will be in). I will not see it if Keith gets the part. I dont think He has what it takes to hold an audince 2 hours, 8 times a week. Come on Lee!

  • Yep just me logging in to look at Luscious Lee yet again!! If i'm allowed to express my preferences that is as the anti-Meadster brigade are getting very aggressive and vocal as the final draws ever nearer,are they worried perhaps??!!

  • Lewis is good but Lee is much better and would make a great Joseph.

  • haha the way lewis sings from 2;30 to about 2:35 is hilarious he slips back into rubbish popstar mode... his experession!! haha it made me laugh out the load the first time i noticed theres seriosuyl something wrong with the people of this country if he wins

  • lee's acting is amazin in this lewis was great too !!!

    Lee has to win onli 2days till final im scared lee won win :( thats how sad i am lol xx

  • You should not confuse arrogance with confidence in your own ability,Lee has the latter!!According to a lady i've just been exchanging e-mails with who was in the audience at Joseph a couple of weeks ago and was lucky enough to meet them offstage Mccheckout is just as arrogant as he appears,Barbie Boy is even more gormless than he appears and Luscious Lee is shy and adorable so there!!!

  • i dont see how lee is arrogant!! if you watch his video diary on the website its blatantly obvious he is anything but! i thought they were both good in this duet but i still want lee to win!

  • I loved this duet. Lee and Lewis sounded so great together, a proper performance instead of trying to outdo each other the whole time - wonderful! While I do want Lee to ultimately win, I definitely think Lewis did very very well on this duet and they were both excellent.

  • lee was way better hes stunning!

  • This song is pure magic!

  • Hey, one sec people, I thought Joseph was suppose to be cocky and arrogant, so technically isnt Lee the perfect person to play him?

  • cocky to some extent but your also supposed to side with Joseph which is hard when the person its too arrogant

  • LOVE LEWIS!!!

    and he is in no way camp, well they all have their camp moments =P

  • On the other hand, Lewis is fantastic, so lively, he's a great dancer, singer, actor and has the best personality EVER; and at least he's beautiful to look at, unlike Lee! Lewis puts the best facial expression and feeling into his singing which makes me smile so...

    LEWIS TO WIN(for definate)!!!!

    GO GO GO LEWIS MY LOVELY!!

    lol

    love to Lewis

    xxxxxxx

    Lewis WILL win, I'm telling you!!!

    MWAHHHHHAHAHAHAH

  • You don't think Lee is beautiful to look at?

    *checks you in with a psychiatrist for a mental evaluation*

    Lee's bloody *gorgeous*. I definitely wouldn't kick him out of bed ...

  • there will be a lot of people in that bed with Lee not kicking him out!!!!!!!! That's what a man looks like all you Lewis and Keith fans!!!

  • haha, you make me laugh. Lee is gorgeous - Lewis looks really strange. Lewis cannot act to save his life - and his personality annoys me like mad!

  • NO GUYS!!

    That is not camp!!!??

    Lee is professional and has done stuff before so they should give someone else a chance. Lee is WAY TOO cocky to play Joseph and his performances are all the SAME!! He's just annoying!

    xxxxxxxx

  • Lee has done stuff like this, but has never had a leading role like this, which he deserves. I personally hate the idea of putting untrained untalented people in leading roles through tv programmes because it completely dismisses all those people who have worked and trained for years to get the part - why do they deserve the role any less?

  • i cant believe ben went he woz so kl but keith is da best hes gonna win wooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

  • I like Lewis... but I honestly thought he was a bit camp in this. Am I the only one? It's got to be Lee... he stood out for me, right from the first auditions.

  • A BIT camp!!??!!He's more girly than pink tutus at Butlins poor Barbie Boy!!Real women vote for Lee!!!

  • oh my god people... I like both of them I, personally, just think that Lewis is better.... its called OPINION.

  • You personally have the RIGHT opinion.

    Well done for having your head screwed on!

    (:

  • yer, but its fun to fight back with our own opinions too. all fun and games really.

  • totally cazziekins......Lewis dead behind the eyes and weak vocally....it was probably his best stab so far, but cannot come anywhere even near the vicinity of Lee's talent...GO LEE GO!!!!!!!

  • You have to be joking right??!Please tell me that you are cos i'm becoming really concerned cos even ALW has given up looking for the spark (Andrew it ain't there mate,never was)totally expressionless should give you a clue.Go the Meadster!!!

  • Are you kidding people? Lewis trumped Lee this week.... I like Lee but come on... Lewis was so much better!

  • i agree!! his voice puts more impact into it!

  • What! Lewis is so stiff and wooden and should have gone weeks ago when we was up against Daniel! Lee blew him off the stage just with his presence!!

  • you must be joking

  • yes, you must be joking! Lee was phenomenal in this - he acted the song out so well. This was probably Lewis's best performance, but still not a scarp on Lee.

  • lee sang lewis off the stage

  • I agree! He HAS to win!

  • HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEWIS!

    xox

  • my eyes and ears are just drawn to Lee all the time, even in the largest groups, i love his face when he says "Not much to ask for" His broody sexy stage person is so different from the sweet shy guy that appears once the song has finished

  • I know - its like two completely different people. good acting i guess!

  • Lewis was good in this, but Lee was by fr better at acting che. Especially at 'not much to ask for'- that was some exceptional acting from Lee. If he doesn't get Joseph he should be i Evita.

  • I think Lee always looks carefully at the lyrics and really understands what he's singing - hence the better acting, he can put the real meaning across. I think the way he interacted with Lewis was amazing.
