@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.
@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.
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
Anazing!! This is a much harder song than the other duet and I thought they both did a great job! This is the first time I have been really impressed with Lewis.
I really support Lewis and I agree he outshone Lee in that, but I don't think its fair of you to use the fact the Lee has acted professionally against him. I don't like the way anytime any first any criticism at Keith people just respond "He worked at a till" - Where they came from doesn't matter, its were they are going and were they will go to that's important!
lewis really did well! lee to win but, lewis impressed me a lot there compared to usual. give him theatrical songs and not tacky pop songs and he does a lot better
Lewis was supposed to hold 'in' on for longer, so it became 'iiiiiinnnn' (the same as Lee did with 'you' at the end of the previous line), but he just sang the word 'in' for one beat. He also sang the wrong tune at that point. When holding onto 'in', he was supposed to sing the same tune as Lee had sung in the previous line.
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 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!
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
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.
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!
well i will say this for lewis, he was better in this that i expected. BUT he has a certain awkwardness on stage that makes his performances unbelievable --- watch lee's face and his physical presence, he acts so well and ur eye is drawn to him. plus when the song gets rockier towards the end, lewis' voice is drowned by the music, which i've noticed alot when he performs.
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.
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 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!!!
Lee interacts with Lewis in this video, that is the sign of a true performer, Lewis is all about the audience, he cannot compete with the wonderful Mr Mead!
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!
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.
Barbie Boy has all the charisma and stage presence of a lump of MDF and if the so called spark the 'lord' seems to see in him is found he is in big trouble...the Meadster rules!!!
cazziekins shut up ok so maybe u dont like Lewis but thats no reason to say all that stuff is there!!! I mean I dont like Keith but I dont call him a CHIPMINK do i!!!!
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.
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??!!
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.
If the show was about getting someone untrained then why did ALW put Lee and Daniel in the final 12? when you think about it you need someone with at least some experience to be able to pull off 8 shows a week. Lee to wim!
The show was about finding the new Joseph. MANY people already in the industry auditioned. Lee and Daniel were unfairly the only ones talked down because of experience,. Instead they should've been seen as the only two out of the experienced people who actually made it through auditions. When John aggressively asked Lee why he was there I was ready to punch the screen.
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!
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!
@johartuk Lewis held the 'in' for as long as was necessary, Lee shouldn't have been relying on anything other than his own counting! At best, they were both a bit off. And personally, I didn't want either of them to win but never mind, I knew I'd never get to the West End to see the show so it didn't bother me that much!
Le was wonderful in this song (I'd love him to play Che now) and sang and interpreted the song wonderfully, but Lewis's acting wasnt good, he tried, you can see that, but hes nothing next to Lee.
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!
Whats a ''chipmink''???Isn't free speech allowed now then??My comments are pretty tame compared to others i've read so go pick on them!Say what you like about Mccheckout hun i don't care!Lee Mead rules!!!
2:06 Deadly stare that is >.< Lee is amazing as usual Lewis did ok but I wish he would stop holding his hands up in that stupid awkward way all the time.
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!!!
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
But he IS a crybaby bananahands, :] When you said bully I thought you meant about the Lewis fans... I'm 2 years younger than him and about a foot and a half smaller there's no doubt in my mind that he could squish me, if he wanted to, which I'm sure he wouldn't... but everyone who goes on competition programmes should expect to get insulted, especially on the interwebs >.
Haha, I love how you're replying to everyone's comments What a fan xD and I totally agree with you I don't see why all these twatty people think crybaby bananahands Lewis is so great, he doesn't have stage presence, not to a leading man standard anyway. I sent Lee a letter today :[ I hope he gets it because I drew a picature of him and Ben even though he's gone ¬¬. Lee, Daniel, Ben and ... maybe Seamus (eww) are the only people who could act properly in this competition.
You saying I have no taste is insulting, so don't be a hypocrite. I'm not singling out anyone, and twatty is so tame it can hardly be considered "bullying". I don't care if people LIKE him it's just that when they think he is the best one I find it a bit strange, but each to their own.

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.
I think, to be fair, Lewis was very young and just didn't know how to share a stage. Lee gss always been a generous performer.
Lee even almost completely missed looking in to the camera once in the opening number of an ep.
@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'd love to see him play this part - Che in Evita - so much more for him to get his teeth into than Joseph.
Lee was made for the part of Chi!! Oh my goodness he's just perfect!
I love their singing in this xx 😘
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
Anazing!! This is a much harder song than the other duet and I thought they both did a great job! This is the first time I have been really impressed with Lewis.
Great.
And this is why Lewis is staying and Ben is gone. This was really good as a duet! I didn't expect that.
I really support Lewis and I agree he outshone Lee in that, but I don't think its fair of you to use the fact the Lee has acted professionally against him. I don't like the way anytime any first any criticism at Keith people just respond "He worked at a till" - Where they came from doesn't matter, its were they are going and were they will go to that's important!
lewis really did well!
lee to win but, lewis impressed me a lot there compared to usual. give him theatrical songs and not tacky pop songs and he does a lot better
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.
What the fuck is Lewis still doing there? The guy is so cheesey! Its embaressing to watch him. I have to close one eye lol
Lewis was supposed to hold 'in' on for longer, so it became 'iiiiiinnnn' (the same as Lee did with 'you' at the end of the previous line), but he just sang the word 'in' for one beat. He also sang the wrong tune at that point. When holding onto 'in', he was supposed to sing the same tune as Lee had sung in the previous line.
Lewis was awful! Lee was captivating as usual! Those EYES!
Wow. Lee has such a powerful voice. Lewis is amazing considering hes only 18. Love them both!
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.

There was nothing saying that a pro wasn't allowed to auditition, so people critisising him for that was just wrong.
Lee would be an awesome Che.
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!
You know that line, when Lee says "Not much to ask for". I could just marry him right there and then! haha :D
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
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.
loooooooooved this performance, lewis really worked hard, he had such a challenge to compare to lee, but i still want Lee to win. Go Lee!
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!

i think lee and lwis should share the joseph lead because it would be fairer than like last year when the 4th got it
Yay, now I'm doubly excited :D :D :D!
I love this song - and Lee is AMAZING!!!! So glad he won...
Btw 01duffj is my stepsis's account, i accidentally used it instead of this to reply to your comment RoseTylerXX
i know!! but everytime he walks down those stairs is just fantastic!!
Leave my pet Lewis alone. I think he was better than Lee here. He was clearer. And he's so pretty! *Hugs*
Lee 2 Win!
Me too, amazing man. :)
Great job, both of them!! Tough song!
My favourite part is Lee when they sing 'That's all they wanted...not much to ask for' Fantastic acting.
i agree!! his voice puts more impact into it!
Lucky you! very good performance! love his face when he says 'Peron'
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.
In musical theatre it isn't all about working the audience though, especially not in a duet.
Truly, sincere thanks for posting this.
If the show was about getting someone untrained then why did ALW put Lee and Daniel in the final 12? when you think about it you need someone with at least some experience to be able to pull off 8 shows a week.

love this song,,!!
lewis comes in late at 2:36
It's sad that people think it was Lee who made a mistake, when it actually was Lewis.
What is Lewis doing these days?
What is this program called?
LEWIS 2 WIN!!!! He rocks!!!
TOTALLY! Lee is LUUURVE.
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!

@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.
A BIT camp!!??!!He's more girly than pink tutus at Butlins poor Barbie Boy!!Real women vote for Lee!!!
yeh hes great but lewis is such a sweetheart. i prefer lee but thats a bit harsh about lewis!
I went to see him last week too - he was so lovely and kind after the show, and such a brilliant performer in Joseph!
2:06 Deadly stare that is >.<
Lee is amazing as usual
Lewis did ok but I wish he would stop holding his hands up in that stupid awkward way all the time.
I love this song. ; ; They made me cry.
How did you get this up so fast? D:
When Lewis goes 'She had style...' I just melt...SEXY!
so agree, just phenomenal! and i dont even like evita!
I love what they're wearing!!!
antonio banderas sang this better.
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!!!
