You're Not Joseph! Craig Chalmers Is Voted Off

On Saturday night, the public decided live on BBC One's Any Dream Will Do that Craig Chalmers will not be Joseph. After some excellent performances last week, the five remaining Josephs had to show the five traits of Joseph which are arrogance, courage, vulnerability, betrayal and being a dreamer.

They had to prove to the British public that they really do have the power, range and charisma to land one of the best loved and most coveted roles in the West End.

Also appearing on stage was international singing star Josh Groban who performed his hit song You Raise Me Up with Lee Mead, the other Josephs and members of The London Community Gospel Choir.

Once they had performed their songs, and received feedback from Andrew Lloyd Webber and the expert panel of Denise Van Outen, John Barrowman, Bill Kenwright and Zoe Tyler, the Josephs faced the agony of the public vote.

When asked by host Graham Norton who was not Joseph, Zoe Tyler and Bill Kenwright said Ben, Denise Van Outen and John Barrowman said Lewis.

Ben Ellis and Craig Chalmers received the least public votes and had to perform a joint rendition of the Barry Manilow classic hit I Made It Through The Rain.

Then it was up to Andrew Lloyd Webber alone to choose which Joseph should be saved.

He said: "This is the toughest yet, I have to think of the casting of the show. Tonight I'm going to save Ben."

Craig said after his eviction: "I cannot put into words how life changing this has been for me, I'm so happy to have been a part of it and hopefully I've done myself proud."

Before leaving the stage Craig joined the other Josephs for the now traditional rendition of Poor Poor Joseph/Close Every Door from Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, before taking his final bow.

This week's group songs were Do You Love Me by The Contours, from Dirty Dancing, and Born To Be Wild, by Steppenwolf.

The four remaining hopefuls go on to next week's semi-final where they will again audition for the nation to decide who could be Joseph in the new West End production of Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
