Video: Jason's Joseph lesson
Joseph School opened its doors to a special visitor.
Dropping in on the 50 boys lucky enough to win a place at Joseph School was one-time West End Joseph, Jason Donovan.
He was there to give the would-be Josephs advice, but while at the School he led them in a rousing rendition of his UK number one hit single Any Dream Will Do.

Lee Meads voice gave me tingles, then when I look at him my legs go to jelly. That dream will do for me!!!
Craig
Good Luck Lee 'Meady'! I see you already have several admirers on here (not to mention Denise!) who have heard the voice and seen the passion you bring to your performance. Once your personality shows through.. you will be as good as in the coat!! Best Wishes from all the 'Smiths'
Lloydy
I love the show and think the quality of the hopefuls is so high that the final decision is almost too close to call, but I want Neil Moores to be Joseph. He's blonde and cute! xx
mano c
Congratulations to the show , its superb Great Format , what a winner... Neil Moores who has has been waiting for this one and its the big one for me . XX
Erin Ser
Neil Mores is gorgeous - I really hope he gets through...I'd go and see him if he won
OAB
Come on Neil Moores! Good luck from all the boys at SGCC!
Abs
It's mad to think that Neil Moores opens the bowling for Sinjuns Grammarians Cricket Club in Wandsworth, but could soon be opening for Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber in Joseph. The best of luck mate, do us proud! Everyone at SGs.
Becky (2FUNKY)
Big congrats to Lewis Bradley! You are the * of the show! What more can be said? All our thoughts are with you. Good luck throughout the show, we know you can do it!! Love all at 2Funky x Oh yesss!!
Mandy
Those of us who are old enough to remember Jason Donovan will know he was the ultimate Joseph and a very hard act to follow, but good luck to the final 12. I'll be in the audience for the first live show to see the talent on offer!
Tony Fretwell
I am so proud of Neil Moores. I was his music teacher at school.

Anne Sheppard

Bryony
I saw an old friend from Oakham on the show on Saturday, Tim Chambers. If he sings anything like he did at school then he should be Joseph, hands down!Good luck Tim!xx

Lee Mead has a wonderful strong voice, I hope whoever wins this show has the true talent and vocal stamina that the role of Josephs deserves, I know who I'm backing.

Kal Tailor
I think Johndeep was amazing! you could just see the passion in his eyes and face when he sang! really did bring a tear to my eye! I really do hope he makes the final 12 and wins - just so that his parents can finally hear what an unbelievanly amazing and soulful voice he has! I think he will be a winner through and through!
Emma
Huge congrats to Gari Deegan and Stephen Concannon!!! They both deserve to be in the final 12!!!

Great to see that Seamus Cullen made it to Josheph school! He sung at our wedding. Then 5 years latter he sung at another close friends wedding, and on both occassions he was unbelievable. I really hope to see him in the final 12!!

For star quality,the Beckam lookalike tops the list. He could be the 'complete package' they are looking for! A perfect Joseph!

Great show... Even Belgium is watching ! Can't wait to come to London to see Joseph when it opens...
Susie
I agree the blonde boy who looked like Becks and the one who came after him who Denise fancied, plus the irish teenager who lives with his grandparents (floppy haired one!. They're my three favourites! xx
Dave
Good luck to all the potential Josephs who have entered the school. I sing tenor parts in a choir and would love to play Joseph but could not enter auditions as I am getting married in the summer and can not be released from work.I hope all those involved enjoy the experience and benefit from it. If the opportunity ever arises again I would enter. Are there going to be auditions for the other roles? I hope that the correct man is chosen.
lizzie
i performed opposite ant hansen in the summer, that boy is amazing!!! he needs to win! plus I got to kiss him in the show...don't be jealous now girls!
Andy
I auditioned in Cardiff and met Shaun (we were paired together when told he got through round 1). I've been wondering how he got on - great to see him on the show and I wish him all the best over the coming weeks!
Angela
WOW, The beckham lookalike was hot, If his dancing is as good as his singing and looks, look no further, we've found Joseph
Sue from Scotland
Antony Hansen is Joseph, he sings like an angel and looks pure like Joseph should, Antony to win. Sue xx
wendy
The BBC know how to put on aa good show!! I also love Joseph having seen it probably about 12 or more times, and never fails to entertain. Good luck to all the Joseph's .Saturday night should be about good entertainment!!
Rachy D
This show is fab! I love Joseph... have performed it soooooo many times. It's fab. Good luck to all the contestants and i look forward to watching on saturdays !!!!!
Vicky A.
I nearly died of shock when I saw my old pal Ezra Russell on the show. I hope he makes it, he always had such an amazing voice (and range, he's the only bloke I know who can do 7 octaves!) - glad to see a pupil from Camberwell Choir School is on the TV! So pleased for him. However if you do make it Ezra, be warned I've got tons of dirt on you!! haha only joking...
jane
Thought the show was brilliant. Can't wait for next week. I've already seen my Joseph - can't remember his name but I bet he will be in the shortlist! I loved it when Andrew LW over-ruled the panel to get singer through! Think its great that he keeps popping in to make sure things going well!
Katie Lineker
I have starred in 2 school plays with antony hansen! He rocks! Well done!
Eleanor
Hi,I absolutely loved the show 'How do you solve a problem like Maria?', and was hooked on it! I can see that the exact same thing is going to happen with this show- the entrants so far are great! I can see I'll be busy every Saturday night from now on, I can forsee!
Dave
i think the guy who was in phantomn was really good (no not sir andrew) anyway great show will be watchin for the rest of the run my gf already wants to go and see it when its on !!!
Amy Louisa
What a great programme! Joseph is my favourite musical and from now on I will be glued to the tele every Saturday night!
Jo
The judges were stupid for not putting James Bailey through! He was by far the best!!!
Mistory Girl
I love the musical...i know all the songs, Donny was brill...However from the show on Saturday I thought some of the voices where amazing but there where none that I found remotely attractive enough to play Joseph but maybe they’ll grow on me :D
Rachel
Stephen Gately was the best Joseph ever. His performance was amazing, I still dream of him as Joseph.Rachel x
Stephen

Victoria Wheat
I just wanted to say good luck to Lee Mead. We were in the same youth drama group and were in A Slice of Saturday Night together. Our Friday night rehearsals were always good fun and even ten years ago Lee showed he had what it takes to make it. Good luck hun, I'll be voting for you!!

Vicky
