The Joseph dream has ended for Johndeep More as he becomes the latest man to leave the BBC show, ‘Any Dream Will Do’.

After ending up in the bottom two, Johndeep faced a tough sing-off with felloe competitor, Chris Barton.

Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber was quick to point out that he believed that the public had chsoen the wrong two men to be in the sing off last night.

He said:

“This is not the right result tonight - both of you should still be with us,” he told the pair before making his final decision. “I’ve got to think who in the end is likeliest to play Joseph. So in the end I’ll say… Chris.”

Musical genius, Andrew lloyd Webber, has told the Sunday Mirror today that the winner of the BBC hit TV show, ‘Any Dream Will Do’ will do his debut performance at the Diana Memorial Concert this summer.

The show at Wembley Stadium, will have an audience of 90,000 as well as millions of television viewers at home.

Andrew lloyd Webber tells the Sunday Mirror, “The show’s highlight will be the very first public performance by our programme winner.

“It will be nerve-racking for whoever wins - but what a fantastic opportunity it will be too!”

Graham Norton, host of BBC’s Any Dream Will Do, has spoken out once more about ITV’s rival show, Grease Is The Word.

Graham told the Sun.:

“Grease Is The Word is Simon Cowell’s show but he’s not on the panel. People would take it more seriously if he was,”

“Our panel really know what they’re talking about.”

He then turned his attention to judges David Gest and Sinnitta:

“I’m not quite sure why [David’s] there,” he added. “He looks crazy like an utter nut job but he’s probably the most sane and normal person in there. And what about Sinitta? That’s the question the nation is asking. She’s finally got a job now so she can pay the rent.” Ouch!

After the huge success of both ‘How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria’ and ‘Any Dream Will Do’, for the BBc, many would assume that musical genius, Andrew Lloyd Webber would jump at the chance of a third series.

However, Andrew has declined a third series with the beeb as he wants to focus on writing his new musical.

The musical will be a sequel to the Phantom Of The Opera, which is likely to be called Phantom Of Broadway.

Lloyd Webber said: “I need to get back to writing. I want to throw myself into it. Over the Easter weekend I wrote the first song and I’m really pleased with it.”

I wonder if the BBC will continue without him? They do seem to have a winning formula…..

Legendary composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and his panel have whittled down thousands of hopefuls to just 11 finalists in their nationwide search to find a new Joseph.

In tonight’s live show, the remaining hopefuls take to the stage to prove that they have the drive, determination and sheer unadulterated talent to land one of the best-loved roles in musical theatre.

In the presence of Andrew Lloyd Webber and his esteemed panel of experts – Broadway and West End leading lady Denise Van Outen, celebrated theatre producer Bill Kenwright, Torchwood star John Barrowman and outspoken vocal coach Zoe Tyler – the West End wannabes battle it out to prove that they have the charisma and star quality worthy of the Technicolor™ Dreamcoat.

Graham Norton hosts as the Josephs give it everything they have for the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to star on the West End stage. Once the panel have given their expert opinion, viewers are able to vote for their favourite. Whose dreams will be shattered? And who will still have the chance to be the public’s Joseph?

Later this evening, at 9.55pm, viewers can find out which Joseph has been voted off by the public – and which Josephs have survived to perform in next week’s live show.

The BBC have called emergency meeting after a national newspaper revealed that two of the four judges on their hit TV show, Any Dream Will Do, were texting a few of the contestants and giving them tips on how to reach the finals.

A source told Britain’s Daily Star newspaper: “The top brass on the show went absolutely mad because it looked like their own judges had singled out favourites and were trying to make sure they made it to the final.”

According to reports one male and one female judges have been breaking the rules! Its all so X Factor….

Finalist of the TV show, Any Dream Will Do, Antony Hansen has been speaking to his local newspaper about how he has found the Joseph experience so far.

Speaking to The Oxford Mail, Antony said: “I didn’t realise the programme was going out to so many people on Saturday night.

“I was quite nervous, because I changed my song half way through the week to Aerosmith’s I Don’t Miss a Thing, so I only had two days to practise.

“It was all right on the night though - I was really pleased with my performance.” Read more & comment »

Any Dream Will Do is still riding high in the ratings as they managed to beat ITV’s Grease Is The Word by almost 2 million viewers.

Any Dream Will Do drew 6.1million viewers on Saturday night. ITV1 rival Grease Is The Word was again left trailing on 4.3million.

Maybe the formula is starting to fail, or will everything change when the Grease live shows begin?

Any Dream Will Do Finalist, Craig Chalmers, has revealed that he is having a hard tiome being seperated from his girlfriend Sarah, while he trains for the BBC show.

He revealed: “I miss her like crazy and she is stuck all the way up in Scotland while I am in London.

“It’s tough and I could really do with her support. But this is my dream and I’m not the only one who misses their friends and family.”

Awwwwww…..

Chris Crosby has become the first finalist to leave BBC’s Any Dream Will Do.

After a decent vocal performance of Maroon 5’s hit ‘This Love’, both Denise Van Outen and Andrew Lloyd Webber thought that Chris was too boyish and skinny to play Joseph and it seems as though their criticisms may have influenced the voters.

Chris ended up in the bottom two with Ben Ellis from Scarborough, and they were required to sing ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’ together, before Lord Lloyd Webber used his casting vote to save Ben.

Andrew Lloyd Webber is looking for a few good Elvises to play the role of Pharoah in his upcoming London revival of Joseph and The Amazing Technicoloured Dreamcoat.

The musical legend and his fellow producers feel the an Elvis Presley impersonator will add freshness to the role.

In a posting on the upcoming production’s website, producers insist the impersonators “must be able to sing and dance in the Elvis style”.

Auditions will be held tomorrow TODAY at London’s Adelphi Theatre.

Previews of the show will begin on 6 July (07) and the musical will open at the Adelphi Theatre on 18 July (07).

The winner of new UK reality talent show ANY DREAM WILL DO will land the lead role as JOSEPH in the production.

Any Dream Will Do finalist, Craig Chalmers has revealed to The Daily Record his biggest fear about taking aprt in the show.

It’s not the singing, it’s not the dancing…it’s the stripping.

Craig, 25, said: “I wouldn’t be surprised if they have a loin cloth week! There have been rumours flying about.

“I’m feeling a little intimidated. All of the guys are different shapes and sizes but I’ve been hitting the gym in preparation.”

I don’t really think he has anything to worry about!

BBC reality show, Any Dream Will Do, has manged to trounce ITV’s rival musical show, Grease Is The Word on its launch week.

Six million people tuned in to see the 12 finalists who will compete for the lead in a West End production of Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

ITV’s Grease Is The Word - whose judges include 1980s star Sinitta and David Gest - made its debut on Saturday, attracting an average audience of 4m.

I enjoyed both shows, but for different reasons. Grease was funny, in a cruel kind of way. David Gest has actually been told off for being too nasty, and there were some freaks on the show. But Any Dream Will Do was more enjoyable from a talent point of view. There were plenty of tears on both shows, but the judges on Any Dream Will Do were caring and constructive, Grease judges openly laughed at the hopeless cases, making it uncomfortable viewing at times.

Another show, another scandal. The Sunday Mirror revealed yesterday that Any Dream Will Do finalist, Lee Mead, was not quite the amateur that the public might have thought.

Lee recently played the Pharaoh in a touring production of Joseph, and his current part in another Andrew Lloyd Webber show, Phantom Of The Opera, is on hold until the programme concludes.

I’m betting that the Sunday Mirror have known this for weeks, but held off on reporting it until they knew i he made the final 12 or not…so is the show a fix? What do you think?

The People has reported that Any Dream Will Do Judge and Broadway superstar, Denise Van Outen, has the hots for one of the shows twelve finalists.

The finalist in question is the rather delectable, Lee Mead. I can’ say I blame Denise, he certainly is easy on the eye!
