"JOSEPH---ANY DREAM WILL DO"

Post by mariana44 » Sat Mar 31, 2007 11:12 pm

I just watched the first show tonight---and I just LOVE it---even better than the "Maria" show.. John and Zoe are back as judges, who I both liked last time round, this time with Bill Kenright and Denise Van Outen--who also I thought was very good. Some of the singers had amazing voices--and some had that "different" look, that ALW is looking for.

I am going to watch it again, and try to pick out my favourites-I have a couple, but need to remember their names.

It is a great show, and I know it will be as addictive as "Maria".

Marian, we watched it and thought it was a total shambles, and i suppose that's why we will probably watch it again because it can't get any worse.
Zoe Tyler is the dragin this time and doesn't pull any punches, but someone needs to be in control. :roll: :roll: :lol:
We like Bill Kenwright, apart from his football connections he organised an after show party for Al Martino the last time that Al appeared at " The Theatre Royal" Windsor. Unfortunately we weren't invited. :cry:

Hi Harry and Lena--sorry that you did not enjoy it---I thought it was so good. Yes Zoe is very strict--but as she is the voice coach, I guess she has to be.

I cannot be the only one who enjoyed this show--and am I going to be the only one to watch it again ????

I saw it Marian and quite enjoyed it, though it appeared rushed and to have a lot squeezed into one programme. I suppose it's better than weeks and weeks of the poorer singers at the beginning, before we finally get to the better ones with any kind of chance of being Joseph.
Anyway, I shall watch it again. :lol: :lol:

Marian. :wink:

Hi Marian, we probably will watch it because it's something competitive, and it's certainly going to be that looking and listening to some of the contestants :roll: :roll:

Just wait while "Grease" also starts. You won't know if your coming or going, with all that going on :wink: :wink: :roll: :roll:

I am looking forward to that one too--now that the Skating has finished, and Australian Princess [anyone else watch this ??] nearly over, and still waiting for next "X factor"---I need something else for Saturday night !!

The Grease show has already come and gone in the US, Robert. Are you having your own version in the UK? It didn't get good ratings. One of the judges (supposedly the creator of the original Grease) was the most annoying person perhaps ever on TV. A girl from my hometown was in the finals, but she didn't win. I voted many times each week for her.

As far as I know Jeff, we are getting our own version over here---but at present, I know very little about who the judges are or the presenter..

I won't be watching the "Grease" programme as my loyalty on Saturday night is to the BBC as I'm a Doctor Who fan. Caught a bit of the "Joseph" programme but probably won't stick with it as it seems too much like a retread of the Maria thing, and I've got a bit cynical about this sort of thing after the recent reports about Connie Fisher's voice failing her and her having to be supported on stage by a background recording of her voice to enhance her performance. I believe her original intention to do every performance has now come unstuck and she's had to scale them down - shades of Martine McCutcheon in "My Fair Lady" - though I did read an article which said that Aoife from the "Maria" programme is going to be filling in for her, which is good for her.

But not so good for the paying public, who will expect to see Connie Fisher :wink: :roll:

Well Connie Fisher was obviously excited to have got the part of Maria, and was saying how confident she was that she could perform the part every night without a stand-in. No doubt many experienced performers who heard her say this are not at all surprised at the outcome knowing that saying and doing are Two different things.
