Lewis: Close Every Door To Me - Any Dream Will Do

[cccccaitlin]

i wanted him to win

[D665]

was that young girl amelia lily?

[screemer23]

@D665 yes next to his dad...

[Manutdcailin]

@D665 Yep . . . Lewis is her brother!!

[kanaho]

despite the voice crack, i think this is my favourite version of this song, he sings it with the most emotion...i think he really felt this song when he sang it then (so much that his voice crack XD)

[mastertheunknown]

i bet kieth and lee are pretty tired of takin everyones coat off by now

[romu6lus7]

This still makes me cry

[NateMelo614]

hes not that great...=/

[infantryboys730]

wouldn't you cry if you found out that you worked so hard to get voted off?

[thekimbob777]

Swear Denise always crys.

[aliciah10]

Keith jack was the best and is the best, lee had the look but keith is great, i saw him yesterday and was gobsmacked by his performance :)

[wolgor2]

he was so cute untill he got a new hair style

[kelric6]

Lewis was good, but not as good as craig or keith. Lee shouldn't have won though...

[PhoebeandPriscilla]

I so want to sleep with him!

[tiredmom101]

He's AWFUL! OMG! His facial expressions and EVERYTHING are so overly exaggerated. YUCK! And dude, gain some weight! you look like the grim reaper!

[butterfly2189]

God Lee's voice came through...the voice of the winner:)

[austraisoapprincess]

he was robbed lee was definatly joseph but lewis should have come second

[MyMrKasey]

I don't really like this one.

[scottyboi615]

he irritates me soooo much! :|

[Ambies77]

he was good !!



[kessy22222222222222]

he is still my Joseph

[Isarru69067]

Um well um um great voice crack despite the cheers at start

[SnapCrackleKABOOM]

he was so cheesey and feminine. :p

[DrakmoonWolf]

why did he stay this long?

[iwearscarves]

the end was baaad lol it's hard to sing when you're crying though! me and my mate went to see joseph in london when lee won, when we got there we realised lee was on holiday and lewis was his understudy :| we were a bit miffed but he was actually really good!!

[MonkeesLuv62]

I know it might sound a little mean, I mean this guy was good but he went a little outta range at the end of Close Every door but I kinda giggled a little when Lee and Keith tried to take the coat and they couldn't get the sleeves off his arms. It was like he was fighting it lol

[kate22uk]

@MonkeesLuv62 If it isn't bad enough you get thrown off a singing show, two of your mates come and steal ur coat - yeah he tried to hold on!! :-D I never rated him in this and agree with you totally. I saw him in Wicked last week though and he totally nailed it, whatever 'IT' is he's found it!

[addiople]

this guy is just too cheesy

[kate22uk]

@addiople (not now he's 'Dancing Through Life' maybe he was over thinking it a bit :-D)

[chrisno27]

1:13 is the best ever

[esmee93]

I love him!

[MJMoonwalker7]

they all sucked!

[c3lestee]

1:13 <-- fav part lol (NOT)

[MKTrny]

Following the curs eof the coat thing: Lee got the coat so if the curse is true it's no wonder he won!

[underwood1232]

made a mistake at the end!

[Sugarplumfairy1906]

God he was a cry baby

[64Fabby]

@Sugarplumfairy1906

but he didnt cry.

Best singer in it :)

[YinYang991]

i love lewis! but too bad he didnt win. :(

[JD335]

he seems a little "hammy" meaning he seems to sorta over-sing, thats most likely what lead to him cracking there at the end, but amazing singer ya.

[jesskye]

love him sooo fit x

[Skoog817]

nice voice crack at the end of that one lewis :P

[Midori165]

man i loved lewis!

[shippoufan]

D: I can't believe he lost! Lewis is totally the best!!!

[juanescolombia1]

he just sounded off bc he was upset

[popitup12]

why was he upset?

[CaptainIchabodRainy9]

He lost!

[JillyPooh]

he didnt win

[actressunleashed]

That ending was a little ouch wasn't it! Shame really cos he is a really good singer!

[kellerooni]

He's absolutely gorgeous. I had a little crush on him until I found out he's only 3 years older than my son.

And so sweet how long it took Lee to get his coat off.

[xheartbrokengirlx]

They are airing this in America now and I watch it everytime it comes on and Lewis is my favorite

[Losangelous]

what a faget

[kellerooni]

Losangelous: Funny how you're posted everywhere calling talented men "fagets" (your spelling... not mine).

So why do you go on these sites?

[jesskye]

i loved him and cried when he sung this x

[MKTrny]

LAAND! Yipers that was a bit rusty

[Shoegalkisskiss]

Liii-IIIIIGGGGHHT!! lol

[karindas]

i saw lewis when lee was away on holiday he was actully really good

[jsellmachine]

yeh just because its panto doesnt mean its not a standard of professionalism as they get paid, and people pay to see them. so no not a stupid thing to say

[jsellmachine]

hmm saw lewis in panto at bath last week, he sings alot better but his professionalism on stage was sumwhat poor

[thebirch2]

professionalism in a panto?? stupid thing to say i think

[msmcgregor]

He flopped with the "shut out the light" bit. It was like "liii--iight"! And his voice cracked. Hmmm.

[CarlyAndJacob]

keith should of got a close every door

[Isarru69067]

KEITH SHOULD OF GOT A CLOSE EVERY DOOR

[chicowhoa]

you cant act!!! the blond guy looks terrible... and please eat more!!!

" OH im so sad!" so unnatural....go home!!!!

[CarlyAndJacob]

wth????

[xfarmxgirlx]

Great performance! xxx

[NobodyInAllofOZ1]

I didnt like him alot I really liked Lee though Im soooo glad he won!!!

[gpalmer415]

poor guy

[amybisp]

their tryin to take the coat and it looks like he wont give it to them!! aww bless him!

[Mike875]

he cracks...

[darkangel61792]

I don't think he had quite the intensity needed for that song. He certainly had the emotion, he just needed to draw the audience in more.

[soby207]

Wow...his voice liked cracked at the end..

[shivi1234]

the end was alright he just messed up the word'land' cus his voice broke,, but in all fairness it isnt easy to sing whilst holding back tears

[singinciaran]

The Ending was terrible!

[MKTrny]

Screechy at the end there.

[jackea1]

For me Lewis was a bit cheesy there.

[bluett12]

shit !

[MissBabyBeckyUK]

i remember when me n ma mum saw this ep. on Tv we both wanted Lewis to win so badily! i aslo remember ma mum started cryin n that is VERY hard to do, trust me i should no. anyway i wish i could go n c it on stage, it must b brill!!!

[pianolover51]

I happened on these videos today aand loved them. I think by vocal quality alone Keith or Lewis should have been picked. Maybe it was the acting....plus Lee was already a professional.I don't know about the rules for these shows.

Also in terms growth Lewis came the farthest. He is absolutly mesmerizing!!!!!!

[mcflynuts1]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LEWIS hes soooooooooooooooooo fit

[mickal24]

<3 HIM !!

[HollyoaksObsessed]

Seen him in Joseph, when Lee was on holiday.

Seen Lee as well, and in my opinion he played Joseph better than Lee.

Definetely sang this song better and with more emotion than Lee did.

Love how happy he looks with himself at the end and so he should be, he came third outta thousands or whateverrr :D

Love him <333

[tibbytiger01]

actually joseph is meant to be a man so how lewis aka beth from no angels is better i dont know

[jkemt5]

oh shut u, lewis is a man, and i agree he is better that lee. i sawe both of them in the westend and i'm seeing craig in the touring version tomorrow.

[PPEACEandPILLS]

wow im so impressed by your incessant treking after shit reality bimbos must be such a fun life you have, careful your shrine doesnt set alight and burn down your house

[jkemt5]

what do you mean my shrine

[tibbytiger01]

you know the one, pink candles pictures of beth oops lewis, diary recording his every movement and notes of your devotion to blond bimbos oh and the telescope

[BluueSkyyScape]

Ooh, what show's Lewis in I'd love to see him he is my fave love him so muchh [: x

[craftyapplepie]

:'( poor lewis... I cringed a bit at the duff notes.. but he was still my favourite Joseph

[sugarplumfairy89]

gosh so emotional! he got the kids singin with him im not surprised he was crying haha bless him

[laughtersxtimeless]

love lewis n keith n daniel

[skittlesxHehe]

love lewis

is it keith you can hear at 1min till bout 1.08? i think it is keith would have made an amazing joseph.

[xxrainbowsxx]

ohhh... lewis was so good in this!

look at his cheekbones! haha

Him, Ben and Daniel were my favourite josephs haha :P

[jessiemills]

these guys are awful..dont know about the other two..but lewis and ben are far from broadway/west end standards..

[rosiejean12]

yeah i think i disagree.

[pansy2714]

why don't you do it then

twat.

[paolo40maldini]

he's the only one who destroyed this song

[Cams10Jovi]

He cried, I cried, even my nan cried!

It was incredibly emotional but Lewis did a fabulous job!

His Close Every Door on Saturday was very moving & ever so inspiring. "Just give me a number, instead of my name" was spine chillingly amazing.

[greensprat]

Voice at 1:13 is why he didn't win heh

[emilykolarich]

he also stuttered cuz he was kinda Crying...

[Stardust2901]

Yeah but that was only one wrong note, bless him.

[AnnaMatee92]

it was coz he was crying. u crnt expect him to b brilliant

[Julianakun]

I loved all the potential Josephs, but these three were tops!

[fireandices]

i loved lewis i wanted him to win!!!!!!

[FinalFreek]

i was actualy quite deiapointed when lewis went becuase i was rootoing for him becuase i thourght it should of been a close run with keith and lewis becuase there both as good but keith has been an understudy for alot of his life meanwhile lewis just sings for pleasure and doesn't go on stage on the west end.

[JohnnyBoy2802]

I'll say one good thing for Lewis - I cringed when he tried to hit the last high note of a "Land" of my own, thought it was embarrassingly bad, BUT I just watched a video of some podcast of Week One in the early auditions and he was singing this exact bit and he was great at it.

Maybe he just needs to learn to control the nerves a bit.

[dianaben]

And Lewis now gets to understudy Lee in Joseph. His voice was awful in that! No ticket sales there then!!

[markowentakethat10]

Lewis, Lee and Kieth are all getting jobs in the west end Andrew said!

[flindas]

Yes - Lewis will be playing Joseph when Lee is on holiday next year. He is also going on tour in September with Zoe Tyler in a show called Chicago and Beyond (have booked tickets for this and also to see him in Joseph) Can't wait!!!

[D665]

ah lewis did have a flat note, but he was crying what would you expect? he will go far, sweet lewis! even though keith was my fav, and ive got a signed phot from keith, one from lee hopefully should come soon so all im missing is lewis's :( who knows his fan mail address??

[alison132007]

wat is keiths??

[D665]

i dont know what his fan address is, the reson i got it coz i made a video about keith jack (just explore on my videos and it will be there) and his dad commented on it and i asked him for a signed photo from keith and it came through the post the next week

[markowentakethat10]

All of them will get to do stuff in the west end Andrew Loyd Webber sayed! Thats great!

[maddimags]

really sweet guy... but I wanted lee to win from the start.

[lennapiretkati]

i cryed so much when he went out even though i was voting for lee. he was my second favourite and by far the cutest. i just cryed when he went.

[maddimags]

look at denise at 00.23, its obvious she really lyked him

[noisycanary]

hahaha! what an egregious blunder! breaking his voice is indeed the best way to perform his swan song! hahaha

[stayhappygetlucky]

omg how can ppl b so mean 2 him?! lewis is AMAZING!!!! i will definatly look out for him in the west end :p

[cazziekins]

I'm gonna stick up for Lewis now which is unheard of for me cos i was the one who dubbed him Barbie Boy!!!The lad is only just 18,he has seconds before been knocked out of a competition he has been living and breathing for months and then he is expected to sing???Come on the knockers i'd like to see you perform under those conditions and be pitch perfect!Mccheckout aka Keef da Teef still creeps me out tho...aah lovely luscious Lee that's better.

[HollyoaksObsessed]

That is really tryue

And i LOVE your names for Keith :P

[amyxxxmwah]

lewis so crap and completly ruins this song can't stay in tune at all near the end should have gone ages ago!!!!!!!!

[special1punk1rocker]

wot u mean lewis is crap and isnt in tune at the end,

haha u must be tone deaf

[doglover132]

oh my god all youve done is put lewis down in all your comments - its not his fault even if he was bad which he wasnt, he was the one under the most pressure throughout the whole show. all right. when he was at school he was bullied a lot because he wanted to sing and dance, so hes under pressure with what those school friends would think of him - get it now?!?

[doglover132]

and to add to before, hes drying so hes hardly gonna be perfect just because of you is he?!?

[chocolatechops06]

lewis is so cute! i got to vote, but he should have won! i cried so much! hes lush xxxx

[jazzinthedark]

lewis rocks. i voted for lee a lot but i wanted lewis to come second. but at least he got to sing close every dorr and stupid rabbit boy keith didnt get to sing again. id go see lewis in the west end

[xlaurax1612]

jazzinthedark i agree with u so much! i think lee deserved to win but lewis is amazing and sholud of come second.

how on earth did keith get so far?!?! i think daniel should of been third.

[NothingnessSMOTHERSx]

Ahhh Lewis =[. He is too amazing for his own good. It's such a shame he messed up those two notes, but then again how hard must it be to sing that after being so upset. His lines were jam packed. I was on redial all night and didn't get through once. Although I'm sure Lee did get more votes I doubt Keith did with such poor performances like those on Saturday. Lewis wont just be in the westend in a year, he will most likely be famous too. Love him.

[xlewisloverx]

i managed to vote 20 tyms and only got held up once. its a sahme this gawjus and talented man went but im sure he will be on the west end within a year deffo!!!

[NothingnessSMOTHERSx]

Ahh that sucks. I kept getting some beeps or a woman saying 'You have not been charged for this call' I dont know then but he shouldnt have gone out third. Second to Lee I can understand. He WILL be in the westend. People will see how good he is and snap him up strait away. Hope so anyway.

[RoseTylerxx]

Dialed at least 10 times and got through each time. I do agree, he will be famous within a few months and he is just too amazing, he was the reason for me watching the show!

[HollyoaksObsessed]

see him laughin when they couldnt get his coat off? made me laugh tooooo! =P

[RoseTylerxx]

God Bless him.

Such a powerful voice, made me cry so much!

[joshnev]

denise and john's faces & feelings make this final lewis performance so emotional

[martha1988coco]

i loved lewis and wanted him to win or come second, but if you think about it, as he came third he got to do this close every door song (and keith didn't). lewis got to have his moment. i think he did a great performance.

[Aimz4Lewis]

Who cares how he sang in this? his dream has just been shattered to pieces, he is so amazing, i really hope he is in a show soon so i can go watch him, it was so sad to see him go. He sang way better than keith on sat, keith's song wasnt right for him, he should have at least came second. why is it that it took me twenty minutes to vote for lewis cos it was so busy my mum voted for lee straight away and yet lewis went first :(

[Lickmytoe]

Heh, I couldn't get through for Lee >.< I had to phone like 20 times.

[xlewisloverx]

wat an amazing and talented person. it was so sad to see him go when he was so near to reaching his dream. he has such a nice personality, and seems like a really nice, genuine guy. im sure he will be on that west end stage sometime soon!!!! best of luck lewis. you are amazingly talented!!!

[TheeHairyKid]

You try singing that whilst trying to hold back the tears, he's only just turned eighteen but undoubtedly shone last night. He has a real emotional connection with the audience too. He is a true star.

[xTunafishx]

i laughed so hard when i watched this! It was the only Close every Door where i was like O_o. 2 Very bad notes. I know others apart from Daniel havnt been able to hit them well, but they certainly have did a much better job.

[lilmissfarah]

everyone who's slating lewis seems to forget he's just turned 18! talent comes from experience! he'll go far, just not yet. he's such a nice guy

[xlewisloverx]

such a shame. he was a amazing and had such a nice personality.

im sure he will be on the west end stage soon.

[Jadieness]

This was not very good, there's a video on Youtube somewhere that shows a clip of him singing 'Close Every Door' and he sounds amazing. But bless him, trying to sing a song like this while crying can't be easy. I heart you Lewis! x

[greenxviks]

Oooh where?

[Jadieness]

Type in 'BBC Any Dream Will Do Week 1' , and watch from about 4:20. It's only the tiniest little bit, but its the ending and it proves that he can do it =] x

[greenxviks]

Oooh thanks! I agree that he did slip on the last note - but I don't agree that it ruins the whole performance :-) In fairness, he can probably do it better, but he did it amazingly for life on television, after just being told he's not Joseph and being gutted - and I liked the emotion he showed because of what he was feeling!

But ooh, yeah you're right - tis lots better! Well, we all knew he could get that high note =]

[Jadieness]

Yeh =] He has such a good range IMO although no-one seems to agree. I'm like, have you not been WATCHING him!? x

[greenxviks]

Yup! It's because he was quite often given same-y pop songs, not given ones that showed off his range! And he was very often given the high parts of the songs in group numbers, like in Under Pressure!

[Jadieness]

Yer in 'Under Pressure' he sounded great, and in 'That's Life' if you listen closely (like I do because I'm really quite sad =]) , Lewis reaches a REALLY high note without cracking! & then there's Hero, and Sorry Seems... this guy is so good! Lol x

[xTheLastSunrisex]

I felt so sorry for him when he cracked. But it's understandable, he didn't let it phase him, and he made up for it with the last note. Lee was the right winner, but I thought Lewis shone last night, and I really hope he gets something else.

[HollyoaksObsessed]

Okay, so he went a bit worng, but he will always be my Joseph! Love him =]

[peterisfit]

i wanted lewis to win but the end bit of that song was bad but i spose he was trying not to cry. :'(

[greenxviks]

In all fairness, only one note was missed, and he pulled it back :-) Not many of the Joseph's have managed that note!

[musicals9]

Well, Lewis is a cutie, but that truly sucked. I imagine he was pretty emotional.

[greenxviks]

I don't think that sucked at all! I thought it was amazing - one of the best close every door's!

[musicals9]

You must be kidding - he hit the wrong note at the start on "liiiight" and had to slide up to it and then at the end he totally crackd on "laaand" of my own. If you want to see it done right, watch Daniel. Lewis is capeable of much better - I am sure he will cringe when he watches this clip!

[greenxviks]

I think that's a bit harsh - I don't think he hit the wrong note on light, I think he just was trying not to cry, and yes, he cracked on land, but pulled it back.

Two not perfect notes doesn't make a performance "suck". It was in key, he pulled all mistakes back - even the winner Lee hit wrong notes, and he was forgiven because he pulled them back, as Lewis did.

I think that performance rocked, he had lots of emotion, and power in his voice!

[musicals9]

Um, no. Listen again. He completely went for the wrong note on light (he was singing a different verse) and the crack at the end was really terrible. Lewis sang really well in his two solo numbers in the final show, but technically this performance was rotten.

[tashzillion]

it wasn't great but on the "land" note at the end he completley cracked up but then he got straight back in tune and finished amazingly. at least he went for the top notes in the song instead of some people who wimped out and didn't even try.

[Lickmytoe]

Meh, Chris C and Daniel were the best in my opinion.

Though I do adore Ben :]

[carab87]

Not bad!
