Two sing-offs, two contestants sent home - dreams were shattered for Seamus and Antony on Any Dream Will Do's third live week.
It was certainly a show of two-halves, with a double elimination over the course of both parts of the program.
In the earlier show, Antony found himself up against Craig in the first sing-off. The challenge for this week was the Bryan Adams class, Everything I Do (I Do It For You). Andrew Lloyd Webber could have saved himself the trouble of coming back later and just got rid of both of them at this point, as neither lived up to the level needed to perform in the kids' choir, never mind the leading role. He couldn't do that though, could he, so rightly picked the worse of the two and got rid of Antony, soft-soaping him by saying he will one day be "performing eight times a week in a West End show". It sounds to me not so much like high hopes, more like false hopes.
The second person to get the axe was the unfortunate Seamus. Now despite all the things I said before about this guy, he absolutely did not deserve to go home. Going head-to-head with Ben, they sang He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother. ALW saved Ben, without giving much of a decent explanation behind his decision, and Seamus got the boot. While I don't agree, Seamus didn't do himself any favours by his not so subtle hint about a "conspiracy" in the camp.
And so there were eight. Do us a favour please, quit the cheesy pop tunes and give us some musical theatre. After all, isn't this what the show is supposed to be about?
