Editorial Reviews: Lee Mead was the triumphant winner of the BBC's "Any Dream Will Do" competition, and subsequently landed the star role in Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat in London's West End. The 26-year-old starlet has recently been busy in the studio recording his eponymous debut album alongside Graham Stack (Ronan Keating, Atomic Kitten). Those expecting the project to be a steady stream of classic theatre tunes are in for a shock: the song "Any Dream Will Do" does make an appearance, but only as a bonus; the rest of the album is a mix of pop covers and new songs, as evinced by lead single "Gonna Make You a Star," originally by David Essex. Other covers here include The Stones' "Paint It Black," and Sugababes' "Stronger"–-choices intended no doubt to showcase Mead’s edgier side, as well as his versatile range. Mixed in with the covers are several new songs, including a slushy ballad ("When I Need You The Most") penned by Take That’s Gary Barlow. Despite the variety of material, Mead can’t help performing in a discernable show tune style, which robs some of the tunes of their original energy. Still, for a debut performance, it’s generally impressive stuff. --Danny McKenna
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: lee mead Comment: fab album lovely voice really enjoy playing it.lee is yummy you cant have him but you can have his album go for it. Customer Rating: Summary: Disappointing Comment: I found this album disappointing. I think I prefer to see Lee in person singing as he is a great actor and puts alot of expression into his face and movement when he sings. However, listening to the album - I am not sure that his voice always holds up vocally - sometimes it can sound rasping and strangulated. I was pleased to see a track written by Gary Barlow and I feel that this song carries the album as Gary is a a terrific songwriter and a brilliant vocalist. I am sure Lee will go on to bigger and better things in the Westend - Joseph is just a way of getting him established. I am not sure that this album will appeal to everyone but probably best to make your own mind up. Customer Rating: Summary: Lee Mead-Joseph Comment: Lee Meed as Joseph was excellent, so is his album, I can listen to paint it black and still see him perform it on the Tv's Joseph show, even my eight year old grandson sings along with feeling, go lee, booked for the joseph touring show in manchester coming soon, Keith's the narrator, sure he will be good, craig's joseph, he's good too, but Lee just stood out from the crown, all the best Lee hope you go far. Customer Rating: Summary: Well done Comment: I loved this disk for several reasons.Firstly and mostly because of Lee's mellow voice-real one not all kinds of studio-made effects,secondly,because now we can see :Lee will last much longer than his Joseph part. Of all brilliant collection 'When I need you the most' is most touching,but 'Paint it Black' is no less absorbing.Well done Lee!!!RUG ,as usually, made an excellent choice. George Customer Rating: Summary: Lee Mead Comment: what can I say about this Lad? the album is superb. I love his version of 'gonna make you a star' and of course the album waouldn't have been complete without 'any dream will do' which is the bonus track. Other tracks include 'paint it black' 'make it with you' and 'you and me' great stuff from not just a wonderful 'joseph' but a great new talent I'll be watching for more of in future. More Reviews
