Daniel lost the sing-off to Lewis tonight, in Any Dream Will Do. Shock horror doesn't come close to expressing this surprise turn-up for the books.

Daniel is too nice, maybe that's it. Always polite, gracious, lovely smile, perfectly pitched voice, mature. Then along comes Lord Phantom and quashes his technicolour dream because he thinks he doesn't have what it takes to light up a west end stage. Remember - this from a man who married Sarah Brightman.

Yes, Lord Phantom knows his musicals, but look at him. He's not perfect.

Poor poor Daniel. Hopefully he'll get swept up into another musical theatre role - he did the swing song (Mack The Knife was it? I forget) with style and suave sophistication. Joseph just isn't the right vehicle for him, that's all.

If we all pray really hard, Craig and Lewis will get voted out next. Craig cos he ain't got it and Lewis cos he's 17 and therefore young - plenty of time yet, matey. I want to enjoy a final involving Lee (winner), Keith (happy to accept second place and an immediate musical counter-offer) and Ben (too immature and over-confident but strangely foxy in a very-young-boy manner; there's at least ten years worth of additional time for him to grow).
