Final 9 Performance and Verdict

I went away for the long weekend, so wasn't around to post separately about the performances, so here's my take on both the performances and the verdict.

Performances:
Kate (Not That Kind Of Girl)
Great performance. My only criticism was she kept trying to impersonate Gene Simmons by sticking her tongue out all the time!

James (Love The 1 Your With)
More of the same average rubbish. This guy is not up to scratch, but obviously has enough female fans willing to look, rather than listen, to him each week.

Roxane (The Voice Within)
The girl can sing, but her vocal tone is a bit love it or hate it.

Lee (Holiday)
The one trick pony keeps performing his trick and getting away with it. Can't wait for his punk version of a big band tune next week.

Emily (Hero)
Finally scrubbed out her GT stripe! Vocally the best singer in the comp, so must be a big shot at winning.

Dan S (If I Could)
The guy has no idea about performing. He just stands and delivers with no conviction. A crap song choice too.

Milly (Sunday Morning)
Another crap song choice - does she WANT to leave or what?

Dan E (To Be With You)
A good song choice this week, although I agree with Mark Holden that the arrangement left something to be desired. Back to form though.

Anne (Independent Woman)
I thought she did this really well, but I didn't like the dress much.

Watch out for more histrionics from the judges (eg water throwing, walkouts etc). It is no secret that ratings are lagging, so more choreopraphed shennanigans are to be expected.

Verdict:
Bottom 3: Roxane, Dan S & Milly, with Roxane out.

A bit unfortunate for Roxy, as she is definitely better than some of the others left (eg James, Dan S). It shows that the male performers are likely to have more dedicated fans (voters) than the females.

Unless Dan S pulls something out next week he is in big trouble. Milly will make a better fist of the big band theme and should save herself for another week.
