This was supposed to be the Top 4 with one going but now it will be two that go home tonight as the Top 3 go into the big Final, or Finale as they like to call it over there.
Tonight each of the five will sing three songs - one will be 'Bobby Bones' choice', as their mentor all through and who has got to know what suits them well, an Elton John number and one about their 'personal hero'.
Wade
You Are The Best Thing
Very good. Excellent, professional performance from this guy. Impressed.
Laci Kay
The House That Built Me
An ideal song for her. Very nice. She looks great too and I'm glad she got saved last week.
Alejandro
No Woman No Cry
Once again the artist that is Alejandro paints a quite different but lovely picture.
Laine
A Bayou number of some description. He's good at this stuff and seems very comfortable on the stage, looking like a star.
Madison
What About Us
Bobby wants to get some emotion out of this girl - something I've been saying for a while. She has a nervous tremor at the start. She's good and this does give her a chance to come out of herself a bit more but she is not a winner. There are simply too many wobbly bits. Towards the end she did show us some talent. Katy spotted this too.
Elton John songs
Wade
Rocket Man
Comparisons with Kim Jong Un should not, of course, even be thought about :) Wade makes a very good job of this. It's a simple number but it works well for him. He's having a good evening!
Laci Kay
Saturday Night's All Right For Fighting
That's better. A really cool performance from this attractive girl. Every note in the right place. Well done. Katy calls her a real pop star. She seems to be enjoying herself too.
Alejandro
Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word
It suits his voice and he's on the piano too, just like the writer would be. He plays this one pretty straight. Excellent, just excellent. Is there anything that this guy can't do musically so well?
Madison
Your Song
Waving her arm about doesn't help the visual and just makes her seem amateur and more suited to a cruise ship. She has quite a few bad habits and that wobble is still there and whining top notes. Once again, she does eventually get into gear and finishes well but she does seem to have reached a level at which she cannot really compete any higher.
Laine
Something About The Way You Look Tonight
In complete contrast, Laine stands and just delivers the song so well. There's a rasp in his voice and it suits him. It is unexceptional overall but the silver suit is impressive and the boy can sing for sure.
Personal heroes
Wade
Hard Luck Woman
A confident performance like he knows this track very well. A nice number for him. Really good to listen to. I might even buy his album! Great job.
Laci Kay
Dreams
Lovely. A great track and so good to see her doing it really well. I hope she manages to pick up those lost votes that left her in the bottom two last week. This may be really nice but it does remind me of the beautiful Did Benami who lost out at about this time with her Fleetwood Mac number. Laci's would be another album I would buy!
Madison
Make You Feel My Love
I didn't know this was a Dylan track. Nice choice. the wobbles are still there but maybe not so bad this time. As she progresses, though, there are still too many uncertain notes for my taste. They really spoil the whole thing.
Laine
Hey Jude
Good choice - he can now show off his singing but also have some fun and act like a new Beatle! This will do him a lot of good and may just have secured his place in the Final as he does look and act like a star.
Alejandro
Blesser?
I have no idea what this is but he produces some absolutely fabulous piano work. It was also very good! However, I do wonder what voters will make of this.
It's results time and this is really the big one as whoever gets through to the Final will get bags of publicity.
Two have to go. I'd say it should be Wade and Madison but it's Wade and Laci.
Sp the Final is between Laine, Madison and the one everyone expects to take the crown, Alejandro.
