Superstar (ITV)

coconut5

Is anyone watching this? It just started on Saturday, and it's the search for Jesus in a new Andrew Lloyd Webber production of 'Jesus Christ Superstar.'

They are down to 30 contestants now, all relatively hot men with beards. I am liking it so far! And there's a few Irish guys in it.

It doesn't seem right without Graham Norton presenting it anymore

Still, The Judging Panel seem decent enough. I will probably get into it more when the live shows begin. The early auditions don't interest me that much, to be honest.

Yeah, the live shows are starting on Sunday, and then it goes on until Friday at least, so not too long to wait.

I adore these shows. 'What's the buzz, tell me what's happening' has been stuck in my head all week.

Niall from Bray...

They cut his hair????
Why is it on 9 nights in a row, bit of an overkill!

Glad they let John through, thought it would have been cruel to make him go through all the training and then send him home. Think the panel are being overly positive not all the performances have been good but theres been no real negative comments.

Niall went last night, Tim the night before. All the right people have gone so far, in my opinion.

It's turned into an X Factor type show and lost all it's quirkiness. I miss Graham Norton too.
Also, when it was on BBC there wasn't an ad break every 2 minutes!

I love Dawn French- she's amazing! Why is she a judge on a singing competition though? Is because she used to be in Vicar of Dibley so knows a good Jesus when she sees one?! :pac:

This has heated up tonight.

Andrew Lloyd-Webber had a real dig at Nathan James for going on Twitter and acting like he has won it. And he accused James of tweeting a picture of himself with a thorn of crowns (Edit: Which was actually tweeted by someone else, apparently)

Nathan James went offstage and straight onto twitter to reply ...

if im in the bottom two....im gone....wow... he hates me... please get me through xxxx

i want this so bad guys...not long to go.i wanna prove webber wrong.... lets go 01 xxxxxxxx

i love u all....i feel hated by webber.i wanna be here tomoz.i wanna show him i can do it... love u alll soo much.u make me wanna win more x

Could be fireworks if he gets through. If he wins it will be very difficult for him to work with Lloyd-Webber.

They are all very good. High quality stuff

Andrew LW didn't waste any time on that decision.

I was hoping Nathan would stay in, just to shake it up.

Ah well!

Have to say I thought it would come down to Roger & Nathan in the final. I only started watching late last week so not sure what's gone on... But it was obvious tonight ALW has taken a dislike to Nathan...so that was not going to work out long-term.

but good as the others are...for me...Roger to win

lilmissprincess

Rory to win!

I must admit I never knew Lloyd Webber wrote 'No Matter What' - shamefully couldn't get the Boyzone version out of my head. I was a fan of both Jeff and Nathan, but now I'm up for Rory! Such a pity tickets for the the show when it comes to the O2 are quite expensive - then again I suppose getting to see Tim Minchin himself would be worth it
